¹⁷ Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

² For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

⁶ And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, "Abba,{Abba is a Greek spelling for the Chaldee word for "Father" or "Daddy" used in a familiar, respectful, and loving way.} Father!"

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

¹³ For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don't use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

¹ The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is on me; because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble; he has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening [of the prison] to those who are bound;

² to proclaim the year of Yahweh's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;

¹⁵ For you didn't receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba{Abba is a Chaldee word for father or daddy, often used affectionately and respectfully in prayer to our Father in heaven.}! Father!"

¹⁶ The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;

⁷ For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

¹² Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.

⁶³ It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

¹ Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don't be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

⁶ who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

⁴⁵ So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
