Romans 8

1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit;

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

for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus set me free from the law of sin and of 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,

for what the Law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, 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.

that the righteousness of the Law may 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.

For those who are according to the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit;

6 The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace,

for the mind of the flesh [is] death, and the mind of the Spirit—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.

because the mind of the flesh [is] enmity to God, for to the Law of God it does not subject itself,

8 Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God.

for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to 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.

And you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you; and if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ—this one is not His;

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

and if Christ [is] in you, the body, indeed, [is] dead because of sin, and the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness,

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

and if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus out of the dead dwells in you, He who raised up the Christ out of the dead will also quicken your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you.

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

So, then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh;

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.

for if according to the flesh you live, you are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body you put to death, you will live;

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

for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God;

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

for you did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but you received [the] Spirit of adoption in which we cry, “Abba! Father!”

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

[This] One—the Spirit—testifies with our spirit, that we are children of God;

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.

and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ—if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.

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

For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory about to be revealed in us;

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

for the earnest looking out of the creation expects 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

for to vanity was the creation made subject—not of its will, but because of Him 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.

that also the creation itself will be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory 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.

for we have known that all the creation groans together, and travails in pain together until now.

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.

And not only [so], but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves groan in ourselves, expecting adoption—the redemption of our body;

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

for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what anyone beholds, why does he also hope for [it]?

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

And if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect [it].

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

And in like manner also, the Spirit helps our weaknesses; for what we may pray for, as it is necessary, we have not known, but [this] One—the Spirit—makes intercession for us with unutterable groanings,

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.

and He who is searching the hearts has known what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because according to God He intercedes for holy ones.

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

And we have known that to those loving God all things work together for good, to those who are called according to 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.

because whom He foreknew, He also foreordained, conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be firstborn among many brothers;

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

and whom He foreordained, these also He called; and whom He called, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He glorified.

31 What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

What, then, will we say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [is] 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?

He who indeed did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him grant to us all things?

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

Who will lay a charge against the chosen ones of God? God [is] He that is declaring righteous;

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

who [is] he that is condemning? Christ [is] He that died, indeed, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of God—who also interceded 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?

Who will separate us from the love of the Christ? Tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

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

According as it has been written: “For Your sake we are put to death all the day long; we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter.”

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

But in all these we more than conquer, through Him who loved us;

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

for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,

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.

nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God that [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord.
