< Romans 8 >

1 Now then, there is no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit,
[There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 because the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of the sin and the death.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 Further, what the law could not do, in that it was weak due to the flesh, God has done by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned the sin in the flesh,
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 so that the righteous requirement 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 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, the things of the Spirit.
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 Further, the mindset of the flesh yields death, but the mindset of the Spirit yields life and peace;
For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace.
7 because the mindset of the flesh represents enmity against God, since it does not submit to God's law, nor indeed can it.
Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So, those who are ‘in flesh’ cannot please God.
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 You, however, are not ‘in flesh’ but ‘in Spirit’, if indeed God's Spirit dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
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 But if Christ is in you, the body is dead through sin, but the Spirit is life through righteousness.
And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.
11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, then He who raised the Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who dwells in you.
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 So then, brothers, we have no obligation to the flesh, to live according to it;
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 because if you live according to the flesh, you are about to die; but if you put to death the practices of the body, by the Spirit, you will live.
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 Because as many as are led by God's Spirit, these are God's sons
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 —you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fear all over again, but you did receive the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “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 That Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are God's children
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 —if children, also heirs: heirs of God and coheirs 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 joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified together.
18 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is going to be revealed in us.
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 You see, the creation waits with eager anticipation for the revelation of God's sons;
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 because without choice the creation was subjected to futility, due to the One who did the subjecting, based on the hope
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope,
21 that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage to decay into the freedom of the glory of God's children.
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 Yes, we know that the whole creation has been groaning and in labor pains until now.
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 Not only that, we ourselves also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we groan within ourselves, eagerly awaiting adoption, the redemption of our body.
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 Yes, we were saved in the hope, but a hope that is seen is not hope—why would anyone hope for what he sees?
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 what we do not see, we eagerly await it with endurance.
But if we hope for that we see not, [then] do we with patience wait for [it].
26 Likewise also the Spirit comes to the aid of the hope in our weaknesses, since we do not know what we need to pray for. Indeed the Spirit Himself intercedes on our behalf with inexpressible groanings,
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 while He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit's mind, since He prays for the saints in accordance with God.
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 Further, we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to purpose.
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 Because whom He 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 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 Further, whom He predestined, these He also called; and whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
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 then shall we say to these things? Since God is for us, who is against us?
What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who [can be] against us?
32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up on behalf of us all, how shall He not with Him also graciously give us all things?
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 will bring a charge against God's chosen ones? God is He who justifies.
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? [It is] God that justifieth.
34 Who is he who condemns? Christ is He who died, but even more, was indeed raised, who indeed is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes on our behalf.
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? Will it be affliction or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?
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 your sake we are being put to death all day long; we are accounted as sheep for slaughter.”)
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 prevail completely through Him who loved us.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 Because I am persuaded that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities nor powers, neither things present nor things to come,
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 neither height nor depth nor any other created thing will have the power 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.
