Romans 8:1-2 In-Context

　　1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

　　2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set youThe Greek is singular; some manuscripts "me" free from the law of sin and death.

　　3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,In contexts like this, the Greek word for "flesh" ("sarx" ) refers to the sinful state of human beings, often presented as a power in opposition to the Spirit; also in verses 4-13. God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.Or "flesh, for sin" And so he condemned sin in the flesh,

　　4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

　　5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
