Chapter 8

Life Through the Spirit

1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,Some later manuscripts Jesus, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit,2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.3For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature,Or the flesh; also in verses 4, 5, 8, 9, 12 and 13 God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering.Or man, for sin And so he condemned sin in sinful man,Or in the flesh4in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.

5Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.6The mind of sinful manOr mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace;7the sinful mindOr the mind set on the flesh is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.8Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.

9You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.10But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.

11And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.

12Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation–but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it.13For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live,14because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.15For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.Or adoption And by him we cry, “Abba,Aramaic for Father Father.”16The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.17Now if we are children, then we are heirs–heirs of God and co–heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

We are healed by the Spirit of God which dwells in us.

We have new life in the Spirit even in the midst of the presence of sin within our frail bodies, and yet this is not how it will always be. When Christ returns and the dead are raised, all of sin's effects will be finally reversed and we will be with the Lord. Then we receive our inheritance -- a new body and a new home in God's presence, an unshakeable kingdom and a glorious, powerful bodily life (see 1 Corinthians 15). This is the hope of the Christian and a crucial part of the Gospel that we cannot neglect to proclaim. In the midst of death's reign, there is no real hope apart from resurrection -- simply making life better for people now does not answer humanity's deepest problem. And yet we have hope that we will be raised just as Christ was raised on the third day, by the power of the Holy Spirit within us who also raised our Lord. This is our hope and the greatest encouragement to run the race well and receive the crown of glory that awaits the faithful (Heb. 2:9,14-15).
