For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.
who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.
But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life.
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.
So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb
Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith.
But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.
