Romans 8

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

There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after 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 hath 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,

For that which was impossible for the law to do, and in which it was weak through the corruption of the flesh, God by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sacrifice for sin, hath done; that is, hath 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 walk not after the flesh but after 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 they who are after the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; but they who are led by the Spirit, do mind spiritual things.

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

Now to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded 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 carnal mind is an enemy to God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be:

8 Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God.

and they who are carnal, 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.

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if the Spirit of God dwelleth in you: but if any one hath 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 because of sin, but the 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 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 that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwelleth in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead, will also restore your mortal bodies to life, by his Spirit that now dwelleth in you.

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

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors not to the flesh, to live after 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 ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if by the Spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall 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 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 Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

So that the Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the 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 of God, and co-heirs with Christ: if so be we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified with Him.

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

And I account the sufferings of this present time not worthy to be set against the glory that shall be revealed to us.

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

For the earnest expectation of the world 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 world was subjected to vanity, not willingly, but through him who made it subject: )

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.

in hope that they also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty 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 know that the whole world groaneth, and doth as it were travail in pain together even to this day.

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 others, but those also who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit 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 we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen, is not hope; for what any one sees, how doth he yet hope for?

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

but if we hope for what we see not, then we wait for it with patience.

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 the Spirit likewise helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for, as we ought: but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with unutterable groans.

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 that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit; for he intercedeth for the saints according to the will of God.

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 know that all things co-operate for good to them that love God, to them that 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 those whom he foreknew, He also predetermined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that He might be as the first-born among many brethren: and whom He before ordained, these He also called;

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

and whom He called, these he also justified; and whom He justified, these 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? if God be 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 that spared not his own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him freely give us all things?

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

Who shall lay any accusation against the elect of God? will God, who justifieth us?

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 condemneth? Is it Christ, that died for us? yea rather, that is risen again, who is also at the right hand of God, and who maketh 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 shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall 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, "for thy sake we are killed 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.

but in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that 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 angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things 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.

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.
