“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.”
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. — The νόμος (nomos, "law") shifts registers: no longer external commandment but internal principle of the Spirit. This πνευματικός (pneumatikos, "spiritual") law liberates from the dual servitude to sin and death (7:24-25). The genitive τοῦ πνεύματος (tou pneumatos, "of the Spirit") is specifying: the Spirit is the agent and source of freedom. Life (ζωή, zōē) is the outcome.
