< Romans 8 >

1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
[There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law was unable to do because it was weak through the flesh, God did. He sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be an offering for sin, and he condemned 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 He did this in order that the requirements of the law might be fulfilled in us, we who walk not 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 pay attention to the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit pay attention to 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 For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace.
For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace.
7 The mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God, for it is not subject to God's law, nor is it able to do so.
Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is true that God's Spirit lives in you. But if someone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.
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 If Christ is in you, the body is dead with respect to sin, but the spirit is alive with respect to righteousness.
And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.
11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives 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 are debtors, but not to the flesh to live according to the flesh.
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if you live according to the flesh, you are about to die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the body's actions, 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 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 You did not receive a spirit that makes you slaves, so that you live in fear again; but you received the Spirit of adoption, by which 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 bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 If we are children, then we are also heirs, heirs of God. And we are joint 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 joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed to 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 For the eager expectation of the creation waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in the certain 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 be delivered from slavery to decay, and that it will be brought into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors in pain together even now.
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 Not only that, but even we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit—even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our 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 For in this certain hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he can see?
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 have certain hope about what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
But if we hope for that we see not, [then] do we with patience wait for [it].
26 In the same way, the Spirit also helps in our weakness. For we do not know how we should pray, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groans.
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 He who searches the hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes on behalf of the saints according to the will of 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 We know that for those who love God, he works all things together for good, for those who are called according to his 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 those whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might 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 Those whom he predestined, these he also called. Those whom he called, these he also justified. Those 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 about these things? If 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 will he not also 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 also freely give us all things?
33 Who will bring any accusation against God's chosen ones? God is the one who justifies.
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? [It is] God that justifieth.
34 Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, and who also is interceding for us.
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 will separate us from the love of Christ? Tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or hunger, or nakedness, or danger, 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 Just as it is written, “For your benefit we are killed all day long. We were considered as sheep for the slaughter.”
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 In all these things we are more than conquerors through the one who loved us.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I have been convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor governments, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which 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.
