Romans 8
1 There is now therefore no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh.
Hence there is now, no, condemnation unto them who are in Christ Jesus;
2 For the law of the spirit of life, in Christ Jesus, hath delivered me from the law of sin and of death.
For, the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus, hath set thee 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 of sin, hath condemned sin in the flesh;
For, what was impossible by the law in that it was weak through the flesh, God, by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,
4 That the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.
In order that, the righteous requirement of the law, might be fulfilled in us—who, not according to flesh, do walk, but according to spirit;
5 For they that are according to the flesh, mind the things that are of the flesh; but they that are according to the spirit, mind the things that are of the spirit.
For, they who according to flesh have their being, the things of the flesh do prefer, but, they according to the spirit, the things of the spirit;
6 For the wisdom of the flesh is death; but the wisdom of the spirit is life and peace.
For, what is preferred by the flesh, [is] death, whereas, what is preferred by the spirit, [is] life and peace; —
7 Because the wisdom of the flesh is an enemy to God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither can it be.
Inasmuch as, what is preferred by the flesh, [is] hostile towards God, for, unto the law of God, it doth not submit itself, neither in fact can it.—
8 And they who are in the flesh, cannot please God.
They, moreover, who in flesh have their being, cannot please, God.
9 But you 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.
But, ye, have not your being in flesh, but in spirit, —if at least, God’s Spirit, dwelleth in you; and, if anyone hath not Christ’s Spirit, the same, is not his; —
10 And if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead, because of sin; but the spirit liveth, because of justification.
But, if Christ is in you, the body, indeed, is dead by reason of sin, whereas, the spirit, is life by reason of righteousness;
11 And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwell in you; he that raised up Jesus Christ from the dead, shall quicken also your mortal bodies, because of his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
If, moreover, the Spirit of him that raised Jesus from among the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised from among the dead Christ Jesus, shall make alive [even] your death-doomed bodies, through means of his indwelling Spirit within you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
Hence, then, brethren—debtors, we are, not unto the flesh, that, according to flesh, we should live, —
13 For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if by the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live.
For, if according to flesh ye live, ye are about to die, whereas, if in spirit, the practices of the flesh, ye are putting to death, ye shall attain unto life;
14 For whosoever are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
For, as many as by God’s Spirit are being led, the same, are God’s sons, —
15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry: Abba (Father).
For ye have not received a spirit of servitude, leading back into fear, but ye have received a spirit of sonship, whereby we are exclaiming—Abba! Oh Father!
16 For the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our spirit, that we are the sons of God.
The Spirit itself, beareth witness together with our spirit that we are children of God;
17 And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God, and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.
And, if children, heirs also—heirs, indeed, of God, but co-heirs with Christ, —if, at least, we are suffering together, in order that we may also be glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come, that shall be revealed in us.
For I reckon that unworthy are the sufferings of the present season to be compared with the glory about to be revealed towards us;
19 For the expectation of the creature waiteth for the revelation of the sons of God.
For, the eager outlook of creation, ardently awaiteth the revealing of the sons of God, —
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope:
For, unto vanity, hath creation been made subject—not by choice, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope
21 Because the creature also itself shall be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
That, creation itself also, shall be freed—from the bondage of the decay into the freedom of the glory of the sons of God;
22 For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now.
For we know that, all creation, is sighing together, and travailing-in-birth-throes together until the present, —
23 And not only it, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of the sons of God, the redemption of our body.
And, not only so, but, we ourselves, also, who have the first-fruit of the Spirit—[we] even ourselves, within our own selves do sigh, —sonship ardently awaiting—the redeeming 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 hope for?
For, by our hope, have we been saved, —but, hope beheld, is not hope, for, what one beholdeth, why doth he hope for?
25 But if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience.
If, however, what we do not behold we hope for, with endurance, are we ardently awaiting [it]; —
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity. For we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit himself asketh for us with unspeakable groanings.
In the selfsame way moreover, even the Spirit, helpeth together in our weakness, —for, what we should pray for as we ought, we know not, but, the Spirit itself, maketh intercession with sighings unutterable,
27 And he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what the Spirit desireth; because he asketh for the saints according to God.
And, he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what is preferred by the Spirit—that, according to God, he maketh intercession in behalf of saints;
28 And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.
We know, further, that, unto them who love God, God causeth all things to work together for good, —unto them who, according to purpose, are such as he hath called;
29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son; that he might be the firstborn amongst many brethren.
For, whom he fore-approved, he also fore-appointed to be conformed unto the image of his Son, that he might be firstborn among many brethren, —
30 And whom he predestinated, them he also called. And whom he called, them he also justified. And whom he justified, them he also glorified.
And, whom he fore-appointed, the same, he also called, and, whom he called, the same, he also declared righteous, and, whom he declared righteous, the same, he also made glorious: —
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who is against us?
What, then, shall we say to a these things? If God [is] for us, who [shall be] against us?
32 He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how hath he not also, with him, given us all things?
He, at least, who his own Son did not spare, but in behalf of us all delivered him up, how shall he not also, with him, all things upon us in favour bestow?
33 Who shall accuse against the elect of God? God that justifieth.
Who shall bring an accusation against the chosen ones of God? God, who declareth righteous?
34 Who is he that shall condemn? Christ Jesus that died, yea that is risen also again; who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Who is he that condemneth? Christ [Jesus] who died?—Nay! rather was raised [from among the dead], —who is on the right hand of God, who also is making intercession in our behalf?
35 Who then shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation? or distress? or famine? or nakedness? or danger? or persecution? or the sword?
Who shall separate us from the love of the 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 put to death all the day long. We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.)
According as it is written—For thy sake, are we being put to death all the day long, we have been reckoned as sheep for slaughter.—
37 But in all these things we overcome, because of him that hath loved us.
Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquering through him that hath 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, nor might,
For I am persuaded that—neither death nor life, nor messengers 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.
Nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
