Romans 8:1-4 CEV
If you belong to Christ Jesus, you won't be punished. (2) The Holy Spirit will give you life that comes from Christ Jesus and will set you free from sin and death. (3) The Law of Moses cannot do this, because our selfish desires make the Law weak. But God set you free [of the Law Code] when he sent his own Son to be like us sinners and to be a sacrifice for our sin. God used Christ's body to condemn sin. (4) He did this, so that we would do what the Law commands [do the intent of the Law] by obeying the Spirit instead of our own desires.
Romans 8:1-4 GNB
(1) There is no condemnation now for those who live in union with Christ Jesus.
(2) For the law of the Spirit, which brings us life in union with Christ Jesus, has set me free from the law of sin and death.
(3) What the Law could not do, because human nature was weak, God did. He condemned sin in human nature by sending his own Son, who came with a nature like our sinful nature, to do away with sin.
(4) God did this so that the righteous demands of the Law might be fully satisfied in us who live according to the Spirit, and not according to human nature.
Romans 8:1-4 NWT
8 Therefore those in union with Christ Jesus have no condemnation. 2 For the law of that spirit which gives life in union with Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. 3 For, there being an incapability on the part of the Law, while it was weak through the flesh, God, by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us who walk, not in accord with the flesh, but in accord with the spirit.
Romans 8:1-4 ALT
(1) Consequently, [there is] now no condemnation to the [ones] in Christ Jesus, [who] do not walk about [fig., conduct themselves] according to flesh, _but_ according to [the] Spirit [or, to spirit, and possibly elsewhere in 8:2-15].
(2) For the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus set me free from the law of sin and of death.
(3) For the [thing] impossible [for] the Law [to do] in that it was weak through the flesh, God [did], having sent His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,
(4) so that the righteousness requirement of the Law should be fulfilled in us, the [ones] not walking about [fig., conducting ourselves] according to flesh, _but_ according to [the] Spirit.
Romans 8:1-4 BBE
(1) For this cause those who are in Christ Jesus will not be judged as sinners.
(2) For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
(3) For what the law was not able to do because it was feeble through the flesh, God, sending his Son in the image of the evil flesh, and as an offering for sin, gave his decision against sin in the flesh:
(4) So that what was ordered by the law might be done in us, who are living, not in the way of the flesh, but in the way of the Spirit.

Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
