SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:1–17: Believers live by the Holy Spirit

In this section Paul reminded the believers in Rome that God does not condemn them, because the Holy Spirit has set them free from sin and death. Jesus became like an Old Testament sin offering to remove the consequences of our sin. The laws of Moses demanded a righteous life, and in the Holy Spirit we can live that way.

The people who live according to the sinful nature seek to do things that are in accord with that nature. Also, they cannot please God, cannot follow his laws, are hostile to him, and will be punished with death forever. The people who live according to the Holy Spirit seek to do things that are in accord with his desire.

Christians allow the Holy Spirit to work in them. When they do that, they are as if dead to sin and God will give them life. Those without the Holy Spirit do not belong to Jesus Christ.

We put to death the deeds of the sinful nature. We do that by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are God’s children and can do as he does (again, by the power of the Holy Spirit). If we suffer as Jesus suffered, God will give to us his promised inheritance in heaven.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

We must live according to the Holy Spirit, not according to sinfulness

Be Ruled by the Spirit (NCV)

Living by the Power of God’s Spirit (CEV)

8:8

Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God.

The Greek begins with a word that is often translated “and” or “but.” Here it indicates that the topic from 8:7 continues and there is new information about pleasing God. For example, the NJB begins this verse with:

and (NJB)

Those controlled by the flesh: The phrase by the flesh indicates that these people’s whole life is oriented toward the needs and wants that govern their physical lives. They think and behave only according to it, and think it normal to think and behave that way. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

Those who obey their human nature (GNT)

those who live according to the needs and desires of the body

whoever has the desires of the body rule their lives

See how you translated the phrase “according to the flesh” in 7:5.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οἱ & ἐν σαρκὶ ὄντες

the_‹ones› & in (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ Δέ ἐν σαρκί ὄντες Θεῷ ἀρέσαι οὒ δύνανται)

See how you translated this phrase in [7:5](../07/05.md).
