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

For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

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.

So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.

For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live.

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

because if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body,  you will live.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

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.

With the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah, that fateful dilemma is resolved. Those who enter into Christ’s being-here-for-us no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud. A new power is in operation. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death.

So don’t you see that we don’t owe this old do-it-yourself life one red cent. There’s nothing in it for us, nothing at all. The best thing to do is give it a decent burial and get on with your new life. God’s Spirit beckons. There are things to do and places to go!

Therefore there is now no condemnation at all for those who are in Christ Jesus.

for if you are living in accord with the flesh, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

Therefore there is now no condemnation [no guilty verdict, no punishment] for those who are in Christ Jesus [who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior]. [John 3:18]

for if you are living according to the [impulses of the] flesh, you are going to die. But if [you are living] by the [power of the Holy] Spirit you are habitually putting to death the sinful deeds of the body, you will [really] live forever.

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

(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.
