Context: Romans 8
1There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Commentary
Romans 8 is a powerful chapter that speaks to the power of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. Paul begins by reminding us that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. He then goes on to explain that the Spirit of God has set us free from the law of sin and death. This freedom is a result of the Spirit of God living in us and leading us in the way of righteousness.
