Romans 8

1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

2 For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.

3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh,

4 so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

5 Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

6 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 hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.

8 Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God.

9 You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.

10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.

11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.

12 Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation, but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.

13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption to sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

17 And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.

18 I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us.

19 The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God.

20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope

21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time.

23 Not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

24 For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Why would one hope for what he can already see?

25 But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently.

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weaknesses. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words.

27 And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

28 And we know that all things work together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.

29 For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.

30 And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.

31 What then shall we say in response 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 for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things?

33 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.

34 Who is there to condemn us? For Christ, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God—and He is interceding for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

36 As it is written: “For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities nor powers, neither the present nor the future,

39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 ¶ [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and 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 righteousness 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 do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

10 ¶ And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.

11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the 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 together.

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope,

21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

23 And not only [they], but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body.

24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

25 But if we hope for that we see not, [then] do we with patience wait for [it].

26 ¶ Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.

29 ¶ For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

31 ¶ What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who [can be] against us?

32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? [It is] God that justifieth.

34 Who [is] he that condemneth? [It is] Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? [shall] tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

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.

1 There is therefore nothing condemnable in them which are in Christ JEsu, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit which quickeneth in Christ JEsu hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

3 For that which was impossible for the law (because it was weakened by the flesh) God did, and sent his Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and condemned sin in the flesh by sin,

4 That the righteousness required by the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

5 For they that are carnal are carnally minded: but they that are spiritual are spiritual minded.

6 But to be carnally minded is death, and to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 For to be carnally minded is enmity against God, because it is not subject to the law of God; neither is it able.

8 But they that are carnal may not please God.

9 But ye are not carnal, but spiritual; otherwise the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But he that hath not the Spirit of Christ is not his.

10 But if Christ be in you, the body is dead indeed because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

11 If therefore the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he also that raised up Christ from the dead shall quicken your mortal bodies, because his Spirit dwelleth in you.

12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye kill business by the spirit of the flesh, ye shall live.

14 For whom the Spirit of God causeth to walk, they are the children of God.

15 For ye have not received a servile spirit, that ye should fear again; but ye have received a childlike spirit, by which we cry: Abba, dear Father!

16 The same Spirit bears witness to our spirit that we are the children of God.

17 If we then be children, we are heirs also, heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if we suffer otherwise, that we may also be exalted with them unto glory.

18 For I consider that this time of suffering is not worthy of the glory that shall be revealed in us.

19 For the anxious waiting of the creature awaits the revelation of the children of God,

20 Because the creature is subjected to vanity not of his own will, but of him that subjected it unto hope.

21 For the creature also shall be set free from the service of corruptible things unto the glorious liberty of the children of GOD.

22 For we know that every creature longs with us, and is still in anguish.

23 And not only they, but we also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves long to be born children, waiting for the redemption of our bodies.

24 For we are saved, but in hope. But the hope that is seen is not hope: for how can a man hope for that which is seen?

25 But if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it by patience.

26 Likewise also the Spirit helpeth our weakness. For we know not what we ought to pray for, as it is fitting: but the Spirit himself filleth for us in the best manner, with groanings that cannot be uttered.

27 But he that searcheth the hearts knoweth the mind of the Spirit: for he representeth the saints according to that which is pleasing in the sight of God.

28 But we know that to those who love GOD all things are for the best, who are called according to the purpose.

29 For whom he did provide before, he also ordained that they should be conformed to the image of his Son, that he should be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 And whom he hath ordained, them hath he also called: whom he hath called, them hath he also justified: whom he hath justified, them hath he also glorified.

31 What shall we say to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

32 Who spared not his own Son, but gave him up for us all: how shall he not with him give us all things?

33 Who will accuse the elect of God? God is here, who makes righteous.

34 Who shall condemn? Christ is here, who died; yea, rather, who also was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, representing us.

35 Who will separate us from the love of God? Tribulation or fear or persecution or hunger or nakedness or peril or sword?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are slain all the day long: we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 But in all these things we overcome far because of him that loved us.

38 For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Neither high nor low, nor any other creature, shall separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ our Lord.
