\v 2 God's Spirit causes you to live in a new way because you are joined to Christ Jesus, and he has set you free from sin and death.
\s5
\v 3 We tried to obey God's law in order to live with God, but it was useless to think that we could—we could not stop sinning. So God helped us instead: He sent his own Son into the world so that his Son might atone for our sin. His Son came having a body that was like the body of us who sin. His Son came to offer himself as a sacrifice for our sin. When he did this, he also showed that our sins are truly wicked and that anyone who sins deserves to be punished.
\v 3 What we could not do through the law, God did. We could not stop sinning by following the law because of our human nature. But God sent his own Son, who became human like us except he never sinned. He was punished for our sin like an offering for sin, and in that way he broke the power of sin in our lives.
\v 4 So we can now fulfill all that God required in his law. We do this, not by our acting the way our old evil attitude desires, but instead by living as God's Spirit desires us to live.
\v 5 People who live by their evil attitudes think about those attitudes. But people who live by what God's Spirit wants think about the things of the Spirit instead.
