Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? These are birth-pangs, the throes and anguish of a regenerated spirit....

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. It will be done. I shall be delivered. I shall be perfect. “Oh, blissful hour! oh, sweet abode!

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Some people talk about “getting out of the 7th chapter, into the 8th.” But who made this into an eighth chapter? Certainly, the Holy Spirit did not. There are no chapters in the Epistle as he inspired Paul to write it, the...

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. My hearers, we are each of us, by nature, under the condemnation of God.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. “No condemnation” — that is the first note of the chapter.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, There is no condemnation to them; that is gone, and gone for ever.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, — Observe that Paul writes “There is therefore,” for he is stating a truth which is founded upon solid argument. “There is therefore now” — at this very day, at this very moment, — “no condemnation” — none of any sort, — none that will lie in the Court of Conscience or in...

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. “No condemnation”: that is the beginning of the chapter.

For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. “Hath made me free” — that is, the real “I” of which he wrote a little while before — the true man himself: “’ The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.’ I have broken its bonds, I am a free man....

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

The law could not condemn sin so truly and so thoroughly as...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Sin and death cannot govern me — cannot condemn me — cannot destroy me. Another law has come in.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. And nothing else can do that.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
