Live joyfully because you are set free – Romans 8:1-4, Romans 8:8-10

Romans 8:1-4

8 There is therefore now no (not one) condemnation (judgement against) to them which are in (resting within) Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

² For the law of the Spirit (the new spiritual nature) of life (the spiritual law of life) in (resting within) Christ Jesus hath made me free (freed me) from (away from) the law of sin (aberration from the prescribed law) and death (the state of death).

³ For what the law could not do (the impossible things of the law), in that it was weak (wickedness, depraved, evil nature) through the flesh, God sending (having sent) his own Son in the likeness (similitude) of sinful flesh (flesh of sin), and for (as concerning) sin (aberration from the prescribed law), condemned (gave sentence against) sin in the flesh :

⁴ That (In order that) the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled (accomplished) in (resting within) us, who walk not after (in parallel motion with) the flesh (the old nature), but after (in parallel motion with) the Spirit (the new spiritual nature).

Romans 8:8-10

⁸ So then they that are in (remaining within) the flesh (the old nature) cannot (are not able) please (to be pleasing or acceptable to) God.

⁹ But ye are not in the flesh (the old nature), but in (remaining within) the Spirit (new spiritual nature (Christ)), if so be that the Spirit of God dwell (inhabit) in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit (new spiritual nature) of Christ, he is none of his.

¹⁰ And if Christ be in (remaining within) you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit (new spiritual nature) is life because of righteousness.
