    3For God achieved what the law could not do because it was weakened through the flesh. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,

    4so that the righteous requirement of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

    5For those who live according to the flesh have their outlook shaped by the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit have their outlook shaped by the things of the Spirit.

    19For through the law I died to the law so that I may live to God.

    4So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God.

    5For when we were in the flesh, the sinful desires, aroused by the law, were active in the members of our body to bear fruit for death.

    6But now we have been released from the law, because we have died to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code.

    7What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! Certainly, I would not have known sin except through the law. For indeed I would not have known what it means to desire something belonging to someone else if the law had not said,“Do not covet.”

    8But sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of wrong desires. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

    9And I was once alive apart from the law, but with the coming of the commandment sin became alive

    10and I died. So I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life brought death!

    11For sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it I died.

    8Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

    9You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him.

    10But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is your life because of righteousness.

    11Moreover if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through his Spirit who lives in you.

    12So then, brothers and sisters, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh

    13(for if you live according to the flesh, you will die), but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.

    13Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Absolutely not! But sin, so that it would be shown to be sin, produced death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.

    14For we know that the law is spiritual– but I am unspiritual, sold into slavery to sin.
