Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
Book of Romans Chapter 8 - Read Chapter 8:3 - [In Context ]The law F61 was without power because the law was made weak by our sinful selves. But God did what the law could not do. God sent his own Son to earth with the same human life that other people use for sin. God sent his Son to be an offering to pay for sin. So God used a human life to condemn (destroy) sin.
8:4 - [In Context ]God did this so that we could be right like the law said we must be. Now we don't live following our sinful selves. We live following the Spirit.
FOOTNOTES: F61: law God's law. It is represented in the law of Moses.
