Rom 8
1
[There is] therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do
not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of
sin and of death.
3
For what [was] impossible [for] the law to do in that it was weak through the flesh,
God [did] by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and concerning sin,
He condemned sin in the flesh,
4
so that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk
according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5
For those who are fleshly set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those [who
live] according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
6
For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and
peace.
7
Because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not submit to
the law of God, nor indeed can it.
8
And those that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells
in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
10
But if Christ is in you, the body indeed is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is
alive because of righteousness.
11
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised
Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit
indwelling in you.
12
Therefore, brothers, we are debtors-not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
13
For if you live according to the flesh you shall die; but if by [the] Spirit you put
to death the practices of the body, you will live.
14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
15
For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again unto fear, but you received the
Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."
16
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.
17
And if children, then heirs-heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we
suffer together, so that we may also be glorified together.
18
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy [to be compared]
with the coming glory to be revealed in us.
19
For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly awaits the unveiling of the sons
of God.
20
For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but on account of Him who
subjected it in hope;
21
because even the creation itself shall be freed from the slavery of corruption into
the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
22
For we know that all the creation groans together and labors in birth together until
now.
23
And not only that, but also [we ]ourselves having the firstfruits of the Spirit, even
we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting adoption, the redemption of our
body.
24
For by this hope we were saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one
still hope for what he[ ]sees?
25
But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly await it with endurance.
26
Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should
pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with inexpressible
groanings.
27
But He that searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes
on behalf of the saints according to [the will] [of] God.
28
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those
who are called according to [His ]purpose.
29
Because whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His
Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30
Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; and whom He called, these He also
justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
31
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who [can be] against us?
32
He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up on behalf of us all, how shall He
not with Him also freely give us all things?
33
Who shall bring an accusation against God's elect? It is God who justifies.
34
Who is he that condemns? Christ is the [One] having died, but rather also having been
raised, who is even at [the] right [hand] of God, who also intercedes on our behalf.
35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
36
Just as it is written: "For Your sake we are put to death the whole day long; we are
accounted as sheep for slaughter."
37
But in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
38
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor
powers, nor things present nor things to come,
39
nor height nor depth, nor anything else in creation, shall be able to separate us
from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
