  1. ↑ The second half of the Romans 8:1 is often omitted by those who teach "freedom in Christ" as being rooted in a fundamental antinomianism. The second half of the verse is a phrase that makes freedom conditional, based on morality and spirituality: "who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit". Compare Galatians 5:13-25 which clarifies the meaning of "walk by the Spirit/walk in the Spirit".
