There is nothing damnable in those who are of Christ Jesus.
-The literal English translation of Romans 8:1 from the German lyric in Bach's Cantata BWV 74, Wer mich liebet, der wird mein Wort halten II.
I like that translation. Compared to "there is now no condemnation," which is probably too familiar to me, this translation has a lot of punch.
There is nothing damnable in [your name here] for you are of Christ Jesus.
I like the sound of that.
