NASB | Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has set you free from the law of sin and of death. |
Bible Question:
Romans 7:14 says, "For I know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin." Romans 7:22 says, "For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man." Romans 8:2 says, "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death." My question involves capitalization of Spirit for Romans 8:2. Does the law of the *Spirit set us free from the law of sin and of death? Or, (my personal choice) does, the *spirit of life in Christ Jesus set us free from the law of sin and of death? What is your personal choice and why? |
Bible Answer: Um... I think it was referring "life in Christ Jesus" and "sin and death" as two systems of judging/law. Hence, Jesus' law (which is that if you confess the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, and other related promises about Jesus' death and ressurection) sets us free from the law of sin and death. I guess the "Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus" refers to the new covenant and the promises we have in Christ Jesus. I'm not too clear on your question, so sorry if I'm totally off tangent. |
