“The position of a word in a sentence​​ is​​ a​​ way​​ a​​ writer would place the utmost emphasis on his point. Here, Paul is saying there is absolutely, positively, without a doubt, NO CONDEMNATION​​ for​​ those who have been united with Christ!​​”

“Now we serve God in a new way, indwelt and empowered by the Holy Spirit, rather than the old way under Law.​​”

“You should be well aware that our old man (human spirit) was crucified with Christ so that the power of sin would be made powerless, i.e., would have no more​​ authority over us. We are no longer obliged to live under sin’s reign!”

“A primary theme in this chapter centers around contrasting all mankind as they​​ once​​ were in Adam with who they can be in Christ. All mankind is born a sinner ‘in Adam’, but by faith, a person can be born again ‘in Christ’.”

“Paul continues to build his case to silence those Jews who insisted on keeping the Law. Sadly, even today well-meaning Christians hold on to all or parts of the Old Covenant Law; and in so doing, place themselves in bondage.​​”

“by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law​​ comes​​ the knowledge of sin.”
