No condemnation for those in Christ bec law of S set you
free from law of sin & death; what law powerless to do bec it weakened by
flesh, God did by sending Son in likeness of sinful flesh to be sin offering;
He condemned sin in flesh that righteous requirement of law be fully met in
us who live according to S.

Those who live according to flesh have minds set on flesh
desires, those who live according to Spirit have mind set on Spirit desires;

You not in realm of flesh, but in realm of Spirit if
Spirit of G lives in you, if anyone not have Spirit of Christ, they not
belong to Christ; if Christ in you, even though your body=subject to death
bec of sin, Spirit gives life bec of righteousness; if Spirit of Him Who
raised J is in you, He Who raised J will give life to your bodies bec of
Spirit.

Therefore we have obligation, not to live according to
flesh; if you live according to flesh you die; if by Spirit you put to death
misdeeds of body, you live; those led by Spirit of G are children of G;
Spirit does not make you slaves, rather Spirit brought your adoption, by Him
we cry Abba Father.

children, we heirs of G & co-heirs w/Christ if we share in His sufferings

I consider our sufferings not worth comparing w/glory that
will be revealed in us; for creation waits in eager expectation for children
of G to be revealed, for creation subjected to frustration in hope that
creation be liberated from bondage to decay & brought into freedom &
glory of children of G.

We know whole creation groaning as in pains of childbirth
up to present; we who have firstfruits of S groan inwardly as we wait eagerly
for adoption, redemption of our bodies; in this hope we’re saved, hope that’s
seen is no hope at all, who hopes for what they have; if we hope for what not
have, we wait patiently; in same way, S helps us in weakness, we don’t know
what to pray for but S intercedes thru wordless groans & He Who searches
our hearts knows mind of S bec S intercedes in acc w/will of G.

In all things G works for good of those who love Him/have

Who will bring charge vs. those G has chosen, G justifies;
who condemns? No one, J who died –
more than that, was raised – is @ rt hand of G interceding for us.

Who shall separate us from love of Christ? Trouble,
hardship, persecution, famine, nakedness, danger, sword? As written: for your
sake we face death all day, we considered as sheep to be slaughtered; No, we
more than conquerors thru Him who loved us; I’m convinced neither death nor
life, angels nor demons, present or future, nor any powers, height nor depth,
nor anything else in creation able to separate us from love of G in Christ.
