Evangelical Heritage Version
Romans 8:2-4
Evangelical Heritage Version
2 For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me[a] free from the law of sin and death. 3 Indeed, what the law was unable to do, because it was weakened by the flesh, God did, when he sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to deal with sin.[b] God condemned sin in his flesh, 4 so that the righteous decree of the law would be fully satisfied in us who are not walking according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.[c]
