For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
As [Paul] had just before called sin "the law of sin," so now he calls the life-giving Spirit, the law of the Spirit of life. His grace, says he, by faith in Christ has bestowed on you a double freedom: not only has it overthrown the power of sin, but also put an end to the tyranny of death.
