Romans 8

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

There is, then, no condemnation, now, to those who are in Christ Jesus.

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 by Christ Jesus, has freed me 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 could not accomplish in that it was weak through the flesh; God sending his own Son, in the likeness of sinful flesh, accomplished; and by an offering 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 might be fulfilled by us, who walk not 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.

Now, they who live according to the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; and they who live 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,

But the mind of the flesh is death; and 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.

because the mind of the flesh is enmity toward God: for, to the law of God it is not subject; neither, indeed, can be.

8 Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God.

Those, then, who are in the flesh, can not 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.

Now, you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit; because the Spirit of God dwells in you. But, if any one have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of 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 be in you, the body, indeed, is dead, with respect to sin; but the Spirit is life, with respect to 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.

For, if the Spirit of him, who raised up Jesus from the dead, dwell in you; he who raised up Christ from the dead, will make even your mortal bodies alive, through his Spirit, who dwells in you.

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

Well, then, brethren, we are not debtors 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.

Wherefore, if you live according to the flesh, you shall die; but if, through the Spirit, you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live.

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

Because, 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 have not received the spirit of bondage, again, to fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father.

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

Also this spirit bears witness, together 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, then heirs; heirs, indeed, of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if, indeed, we suffer with him, that with him also we may be glorified.

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

However, I esteem not the sufferings of the present time, as worthy of comparison with the glory, which is hereafter to be revealed in us.

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

For the earnest expectation of the creature, is waiting 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

For the creature was subjected to frailty, (not of its own choice, but by him who has 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 it may be liberated, from the bondage of a perishing state, and brought into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.

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

Besides, we know, that the whole creation sigh together, and travail in anguish till 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.

And not only they, but ourselves also, who have the first fruit of the Spirit; even we ourselves, groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption; namely, 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 even we are saved by hope. Now, hope that is attained, is not hope; for who can hope for that which he enjoys?

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

But if we hope for that which we do not enjoy, then, with patience, we wait for 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.

In like manner, also, the Spirit helps our infirmities; for we know not what we should pray for, as we ought; however, the Spirit himself intercedes for us, in sighs, which can not be uttered.

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.

But he who searches the hearts, knows the mind of the Spirit; that, according to the will of God, he makes intercession for the saints.

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.

Besides, we know, that all things work together for good, to them who love God; to them, 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.

For, whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be conformed to the image of his Son; that he might be the first born among many brethren.

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

Moreover, whom he predestinated, 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 in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

What shall we say, then, to these things? Since 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?

He, certainly, who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all; how will he not, with him, also, graciously give us all things?

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

Who will bring an accusation against the elect of God? Is it God who justifies them?

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, who condemns them? It is Christ, who died; or rather, who has risen: who also, is at the right hand of God; and who makes intercession 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 Christ? Will affliction, 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.”

As it is written, "Truly, for thy sake, we are put to death all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."

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

Nay, in all these things, we do more than overcome, through him who has 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; neither angels, nor principalities; nor powers; neither things present, nor to come;

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.

neither hight, nor depth; nor any created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
