Context of Romans 8:1

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Messiah Yeshua. 2For the law of the Spirit of life in Messiah Yeshua has set you free from the law of sin and death. 3For what was impossible for the Torah—since it was weakened on account of the flesh—God has done. Sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as a sin offering, He condemned sin in the flesh—

Commentaries on Romans 8:1

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1There is, therefore, now no condemnation - To do justice to St. Paul's reasoning, this chapter must be read in the closest connection with the preceding. There we have seen the unavailing struggles of an awakened Jew, who sought pardon and holiness from that law which he was conscious he had broken; and in which he could find no provision for pardon, and no power to sanctify. This conviction having brought him to the very brink of despair, and, being on…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1There is, therefore, now - This is connected with the closing verses of Romans 7:23-25. It is implied here that there was condemnation under the Law, and would be still, but for the intervention of the gospel. No condemnation - This does not mean that sin in believers is not to be condemned as much as any where, for the contrary is everywhere taught in the Scriptures; but it means, (1) That the gospel does not pronounce condemnation like the Law. Its…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 1The freedom of believers from condemnation. (1-9) Their privileges as being the children of God. (10-17) Their hopeful prospects under tribulations. (18-25) Their assistance from the Spirit in prayer. (26-27) Their interest in the love of God. (28-31) Their final triumph, through Christ. (32-39) Verses 1-9 Believers may be chastened of the Lord, but will not be condemned with the world. By their union with Christ through faith, they are thus secured. What…Read the comment

Paul confidently declares that people who belong to Christ Jesus do not need to fear condemnation for their sins.Read the comment
