Romans 8:2-8

Williams(i) 2 For the life-giving power of the Spirit through union with Christ Jesus has set us free from the power of sin and death. 3 For though the law could not do it, because it was made helpless through our lower nature, yet God, by sending His own Son in a body similar to that of our lower nature, and as a sacrifice for sin, passed sentence upon sin through His body, 4 so that the requirement of the law might be fully met in us who do not live by the standard set by our lower nature, but by the standard set by the Spirit. 5 For people who live by the standard set by their lower nature are usually thinking the things suggested by that nature, and people who live by the standard set by the Spirit are usually thinking the things suggested by the Spirit. 6 For to be thinking the things suggested by the lower nature means death, but to be thinking the things suggested by the Spirit means life and peace. 7 Because one's thinking the things suggested by the lower nature means enmity to God, for it does not subject itself to God's law, nor indeed can it. 8 The people who live on the plane of the lower nature cannot please God.
