\v 13 Could we say then that the law that God gave Moses, which is good, drove us away from God? Certainly it did not do that! But instead, the law, which is good, made me want to sin. I knew that I was far away from God, but the more I learned what God had commanded me to do, the more I learned that what I was doing was sinful.
\v 13 Did God's good law separate me from God forever because I couldn't obey it? Not at all! It was not the law but my sin that caused my spiritual death—the separation from God— and ultimately, the law convicted me of my sin and it carried the punishment of death. The law, which is a good thing, showed my sin for what it truly is. By those commandments in the law, the commandments show how terrible my sin is.

\v 14 We know that the law came from God and changes our attitude. But I am a person whose attitude tends toward sin. It is as though I had been forced to become a slave of my desire to sin—had to do whatever my desires told me to do.

\v 1 So God will not condemn and punish those who are joined to Christ Jesus.
\v 2 God's Spirit causes us to live in a new way because we are joined to Christ Jesus. In this way, I no longer have to sin when I think about sinning, and I will no more be separated from God.
\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.

\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.
