the curse of the law is the punishment it renders to the sinner.
Redemption from the bondage of the old life
the aimless conduct = the old life we received by natural birth
Redemption from the body of sin
the body of sin is the human body that was born in sin, and is therefore bent on an prone to committing sin.
It should be dead already,
