Romans 8

1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

Thus there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus;

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and of death.

3 For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,

For God has done what the Law could not do, weakened as it was by flesh. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and on account of sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;

4 that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

in order that the Law might be fulfilled in us who order our lives not after the flesh, but after the spirit.

5 For 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 who live after the flesh, give their attention to the things of the flesh; But they who live after the spirit, give their attention to spiritual things.

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

To be earthly minded means death; To be spiritually minded means life and peace.

7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward God, for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.

For to be earthly minded is enmity against God; For such a mind is not subject to the Law of God, Nor can it be;

8 Those who are in the flesh can’t please God.

And they who are earthly minded cannot please God.

9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

But you are not earthly, but spiritual, if indeed the Spirit of God is really dwelling in you. If any one does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

10 If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

But if Christ is in you, though your bodily self is dead because of sin, your spirit is full of life because of righteousness.

11 But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

But if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from dead is dwelling in you, He who raised up Jesus from the dead is dwelling in you, He who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also make your dying bodily self live by his indwelling Spirit in your lives.

12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

Therefore, brothers, we are debtors - but not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh;

13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

for if you go on living according to the flesh, you are on the road to die; but if by the Spirit you keep putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.

For only those are sons of God who are led by God’s Spirit.

15 For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

For you have not received a spirit of slavery in order that you should once more be afraid; but you have received a spirit of adoption, in which we cry out, "My Father, my dear Father!"

16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;

For his Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God;

17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ; but to share his glory, we must now be sharing his sufferings.

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.

For I count as nothing what we now suffer, in comparison with the glory which will soon be unveiled to us.

19 For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

All nature even is waiting with eager longing for the unveiling of the vision of God’s sons.

20 For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

For nature was subjected to imperfection, not by its own will, but by the will of Him who thus made it subject -

21 that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

yet not without the hope that some day nature itself also will be freed from the thraldom of decay, into the freedom which belongs to the glory of the children of God.

22 For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.

For we know that all nature has been groaning and travailing together until this hour.

23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

And not only that, we ourselves, although we are grasping the first- fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves are inwardly groaning, while we are waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

24 For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

For by hope we are saved; but hope which is clearly seen is no longer hope.

25 But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.

Who hopes for what he clearly sees? But if we hope for something that we do not see, we then patiently wait for it.

26 In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.

In the same way the Spirit also takes hold with us in our weakness; for we know knot how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27 He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.

And the Searcher of Hearts knows what the Sprit’s meaning is, because his intercessions for the saints are according to the will of God.

28 We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Now we know that all things continually work together for good to to those who love God, to those who have been the called according to his purpose.

29 For 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 foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, so that he might be the eldest of a great brotherhood;

30 Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.

and whom he foreordained, those he also called; and whom he called, those he also justified; and whom he justified, those he also glorified.

31 What then shall we say about 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 didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

He that spared not his own Son, But freely delivered him up for us all, How shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

33 Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies.

Who shall accuse God’s elect? God acquits them;

34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

Who is there to condemn them? Will Christ who died? Yes, and who rose from the dead, The Christ who is also at the right hand of God, And is interceding for us?

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

What shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall anguish, or calamity, or persecution, or famine? Shall nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

Even 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.

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors Through Him who loved us.

38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

For I am fully persuaded that neither death nor life, Neither angels nor principalities, nor powers, Neither the present world nor the world to come, Nor the powers of Nature,

39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God’s love 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.
