Now, No Condemnation
Commentators stress that for those 'in Christ Jesus,' freedom from condemnation is an immediate and absolute reality. The word 'now' signifies that at this very moment, despite ongoing struggles with sin, there is no legal sentence of damnation. As one scholar puts it, the gospel's primary office is to pardon, contrasting with the law's office, which is to condemn. This is a complete removal of guilt and punishment.
