Romans 8:1-8

"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the
law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and
of death."

"For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending
His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned
sin in the flesh, in order that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in
us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit."

"For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh,
but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit."

"For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life
and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does
not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so and those
who are in the flesh cannot please God." Romans 8:1-8 (NAS)

Easy-to-Read Version:

"So now people that are in Christ Jesus are not judged guilty. Why am I not judged
guilty? Because in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit that brings life made me free.
It made me free from the law that brings sin and death."

"So when we were baptized, we were buried with Christ and shared his death. We were
buried with Christ so that we could live a new life. This happened the same as Christ
was raised from death by the wonderful power of the Father. Christ died, and we
have been joined with Christ by dying too. So we will also be joined with him by
rising from death like Christ rose from death. We know that our old life died with
Christ on the cross. This happened so that our sinful selves would have no power
over us. And then we would not be slaves to sin. Any person that has died is made
free from sin's control (power)."

"People that live following their sinful selves think only about things that their
sinful selves want. But those people that live following the Spirit are thinking
about the things that the Spirit wants them to do."

"If a person's thinking is controlled by his sinful self, then there is spiritual
death. But if a person's thinking is controlled by the Spirit, then there is life
and peace. Why is this true? Because if a person's thinking is controlled by his
sinful self, then that person is against God. That person refuses to obey God's
law. And really that person is not able to obey God's law. Those people that are
ruled by their sinful selves cannot please God." Romans 8:1-8 (ERV)
