2. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ, Jesus, has made me free from the law of sin and death.
3. For that which was impossible to the law, 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
4. that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
5. For those that are according to the flesh know the things that are of the flesh; but those that are according to the Spirit, the things that are of the Spirit.
6. For the prudence of the flesh is death, but the prudence of the Spirit, life and peace,
7. because the prudence of the flesh is enmity against God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, neither indeed can it.

17. and if sons, also heirs certainly of God and joint-heirs with Christ, if so be that we suffer with him that we may be also glorified together with him.
18. For I know with certainty that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the coming glory which shall be manifested in us.
19. For the earnest hope of the creatures waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20. For the creatures were subjected to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who has subjected them,
