15 What then? The law does not rule over us now. Gods loving kindness rules over us. So, shall we do wrong things? No, never!
25 But there is a law that is all right. It sets people free from their old ways. Anyone who looks into that law and remembers it, is happy because he obeys the law. He does not just listen to the law and forget it, but he obeys what the law says.

1 Christ has made us really free. So, stay free! Do not let yourselves be made slaves again.

16 Respect all men. Love your Christian brothers. Fear God. Respect the king.

1 So now those who belong to Christ Jesus will not be judged.
2 The Spirit gives life in Christ Jesus. And the law of the Spirit has set me free from the law of wrong things, and the law of death.
31 Jesus said to the Jews who believed in him, If you obey my word, you are truly my disciples.
32 And you will understand the truth and the truth will make you free.

18 The Spirit of the Lord is on me because he chose me to tell the good news to poor people. He has sent me to tell the prisoners they can go free, and to tell the blind people they can see. He has sent me to set free those who have been wrongly held down,

21 So now God has shown how people can be put right with him without the law. The law and the prophets said he would do it.
22 God puts people right with himself when they believe in Jesus Christ. He does this for all who believe. They are all alike.
23 All have done wrong and all are far from being as good as God.
24 But God is kind and makes them right with himself. It is a gift. He does it because Christ Jesus paid the price to set them free.
38 Men and brothers, understand this. It is because of this Jesus that we tell you your wrong ways will be forgiven you.
39 The law of Moses could not make you free. But this man makes you free. You will not be judged if you believe in him.

17 Now the Lord is the Spirit. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, people are set free.

36 So if the Son makes you free, you will be truly free.

1 I am the real fruit tree. My Father is the One who takes care of the tree.
2 He takes away from me every branch that does not bear fruit. And he cleans every branch that bears fruit so that it will bear more fruit.
3 What I said to you has made you clean already.
4 But you must be in me and I will be in you. The branch cannot bear fruit by itself. It must be joined to the tree. And you cannot do any good thing if you are not joined to me.
5 I am the fruit tree and you are the branches. I will be in the person who is in me. That person will have a fruitful life. But you can do nothing without me.
6 If any person is not in me, he is cut off like a branch and dies. People gather the dry branches and throw them into the fire to be burned.
7 If you are in me and obey me, you may ask me for anything you want and I will give it to you.
8 If you do much good and become my disciples, you will make my Fathers name great.
22 But now you have been made free from wrong ways and you have been made Gods slaves. You are made good and you will live for ever.

13 You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not take that to mean that you can do as you please. But work for each other because you love each other.

21 At one time you were far away from God. You hated him in your hearts and you did wrong things.
20 The world was spoiled. It did not want to be spoiled, but God allowed it.
21 And it hoped to be free like Gods children when they are made great.
12 In Christ we are not to be afraid to come to God. We are sure we can come because we believe in Christ.
1 So now those who belong to Christ Jesus will not be judged.
2 The Spirit gives life in Christ Jesus. And the law of the Spirit has set me free from the law of wrong things, and the law of death.
3 God has done what the law could not do. The things people did made the law weak. God sent his own Son in a body of man. His body was like the bodies which others use to do wrong things. He sent him because people have done wrong things. And he judged the wrong things people have done in their bodies.
4 He did this so that we might be good people as the law said we should be. We are good people if we live the way the Spirit wants us to live, not the way our bodies want to live.
12 I am free to do anything I want, but some things are not good for me to do. I am free to do anything, but I will not become a slave of anything.
