Roma 8:2-4

8:2 For the law of the life-giving Spirit ¹  in Christ Jesus has set you ²  free from the law of sin and death. 8:3 For God achieved what the law could not do because ³  it was weakened through the flesh. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 8:4 so that the righteous requirement of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

Roma 8:6

8:6 For the outlook ⁴  of the flesh is death, but the outlook of the Spirit is life and peace,

Roma 8:12-14

8:12 So then, ⁵  brothers and sisters, ⁶  we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh 8:13 (for if you live according to the flesh, you will ⁷  die), ⁸  but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live. 8:14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are ⁹  the sons of God.

[8:2]  ¹ tn Grk “for the law of the Spirit of life.”

[8:2]  ² tc Most mss read the first person singular pronoun με (me) here (A D 1739^c 1881 Ï lat sa). The second person singular pronoun σε (se) is superior because of external support (א B {F which reads σαι} G 1506* 1739*) and internal support (it is the harder reading since ch. 7 was narrated in the first person). At the same time, it could have arisen via dittography from the final syllable of the verb preceding it (ἠλευθέρωσεν, hleuqerwsen; “has set free”). But for this to happen in such early and diverse witnesses is unlikely, especially as it depends on various scribes repeatedly overlooking either the nu or the nu-bar at the end of the verb.

[8:3]  ³ tn Grk “in that.”

[8:6]  ⁴ tn Or “mindset,” “way of thinking” (twice in this verse and once in v. 7). The Greek term φρόνημα does not refer to one’s mind, but to one’s outlook or mindset.

[8:12]  ⁵ tn There is a double connective here that cannot be easily preserved in English: “consequently therefore,” emphasizing the conclusion of what he has been arguing.

[8:12]  ⁶ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:13.

[8:13]  ⁷ tn Grk “are about to, are certainly going to.”

[8:13]  ⁸ sn This remark is parenthetical to Paul’s argument.

[8:14]  ⁹ tn Grk “For as many as are being led by the Spirit of God, these are.”
