The arguments _against_ such translation are overwhelming. That is
why only a very very few translations adopt it. Cransfield writes:

Some. . . . have understandably felt that, while 8:1 does not seem a
ery natural sequel to 7:25a, 8:2 is just the sort of sequel which seems
to be reqired, since it can be taken as a statement of the ground for
the thanksgiving, and so have proceeded either to transpose 8:1 and 8:2
or to excise 8:1 as a gloss. But 8:1 makes perfect sense where it
stands, provided we recognize that it connects neither with 7:25a nor
7:25b but with 7:6. It draws out the significance (ara) of the
paragraph 7:1-6 in which Paul took up and elucidated the statement he
had made in 6:14b , ou gar este upo nomon. We saw that that statement
was to be understood in a strictly limited sense -"for you are not
under the law as condemning you"- and that interpeation of 6:14b is now
confirmed by the content of 8:1. For those who are in Christ Jesus
(cf. 6:2-11; 7:4) there is no divine condemnation, since the
condemnation which they deserve has already been fully borne for them
by Him. THe reference of the nuv is not to some moment of conversion
thought of as having occurred between v. 24 and v. 25a but to the
gospel events themselves: 'now' -that is, since Christ has died and
been raised from the dead. [International Critical Commentary, Romans,
Vol 1 p. 373]

Streamer, don't cow tow to Matt's arrangement of the text. It is by
far the minority opinion amoungst the scholars. The entire clause "who
walk not according to the flesh" is omitted in the jagority of the
uncial MSS and by the great body of modern critics. The latter clause
only is omitted in MSS. A>D> in the Bulgate and by Chrysostom. The
clause naturally occurs in verse 4 where it actually relates to James'
contention that those who are governed by the Spirit provide evidence
to themselves and to others of their being "in Christ." 1 Cor 2:14-16
states that the normal Christian life is to be under the leading, to be
under the government of the Spirit. The Spirit is the principle of
life in the believer based upon the fact that the believer has been
placed "in Christ".

Rom. 5:1 Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with
God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Rom. 5:2 through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith
into this
