There is now no condemnation,
For those who are in Jesus Christ;
Considering the salvation;
Rewards you for being enticed.
Because the Law of the Spirit,
Of life has set you to be free;
Giving the chance to inherit,
The wisdom and insight to see.
Free from the Law of death through sin,
For God has done about the Law;
Weakened by flesh corrupts within,
Could not do because of the flaw.
By sending His begotten Son,
In the likeness of sinful man;
He condemned of what sin has done,
Allowing to unfold His plan.
For the righteous requirement,
So that the Law might be fulfilled;
Allowing the acquirement,
The Holy Spirit has instilled.
For those who live setting their mind,
On the things the flesh desires;
Not as spiritually aligned,
As to what Heaven requires.
Setting the mind on flesh is death,
But on the Spirit meaning life;
The Spirit gives you a new breath,
Guiding you as you cope with strife.
The carnal mind despises God,
And does not submit to His Law;
Refusing to honor and laud,
And is continuing to flaw.
They are unable to please God,
Instead, you are in the Spirit;
You proceed to honor and laud,
And are blest within your merit.
If someone has not the Spirit,
To him Jesus does not belong;
And unable to inherit,
Not be spiritually strong.
For in sin the body is dead,
But in the Spirit, you’re alive;
The body and blood have been fed,
Through your baptism to revive.
