Rom 8
1
There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.
2
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin
and of death.
3
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending
his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4
that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh,
but after the Spirit.
5
For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are
after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6
For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:
7
because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the
law of God, neither indeed can it be:
8
and they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwells
in you. But if any man has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10
And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because
of righteousness.
11
But if the Spirit of him whom raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who
raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through
his Spirit that dwells in you.
12
So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh:
13
for if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death
the deeds of the body, you shall live.
14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
15
For you received not the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you received the spirit
of adoption, whereby we cry, 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 so be that
we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified with [him].
18
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared
with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward.
19
For the earn expectation of the creation waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
20
For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him
who subjected it, in hope
21
that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into
the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
22
For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
23
And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even
we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for [our] adoption, [to wit], the redemption
of our body.
24
For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopes for that
which he sees?
25
But if we hope for that which we see not, [then] do we with patience wait for it.
26
And in like manner the Spirit also helps our infirmity: for we know not how to pray
as we ought; but the Spirit himself makes intercession for [us] with groanings which
cannot be uttered;
27
and he who searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes
intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.
28
And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, [even] to
them that are called according to [his] purpose.
29
For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained [to be] conformed to the image of his Son,
that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:
30
and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified:
and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31
What then shall we say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [is] against us?
32
He who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also
with him freely give us all things?
33
Who shall lay anything to the charge of God`s elect? It is God that justifies;
34
who is he who condemns? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised
from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution,
or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36
Even as it is written, For your sake we are killed all the day long; We were accounted
as sheep for the slaughter.
37
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him whom loved us.
38
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities,
nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39
nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the
love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
