ROMANS ยท Chapter 8
8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ
Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has
made me free from the law of sin and death.
8:3 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 for
sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who
walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
8:5 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.
8:6 In order to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually
minded is life and peace.
8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject
to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
8:9 But all of 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.
8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but
the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
8:11 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
retore life in your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells
in you.
8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live
after the flesh.
8:13 For if all of you live after the flesh, all of you shall die:
but if all of you through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of
the body, all of you shall live.
8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they
are the sons of God.
8:15 For all of you have not received the spirit of bondage
again to fear; but all of you have received the Spirit of adoption,
whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
8:16 The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
8:17 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.
8:18 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.
8:19 For the earn expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation
of the sons of God.
8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but
by reason of him who has subjected the same in hope,
8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage
of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
8:22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors in pain
together until now.
8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first-fruits
of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting
for the adoption, to know, the redemption of our body.
8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for
what a man sees, why does he yet hope for?
8:25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait
for it.
8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for
we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit
itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
8:27 And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the
Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according
to the will of God.
8:28 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.
8:29 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.
8:30 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.
8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who
can be against us?
8:32 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?
8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God
that justifies.
8:34 Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that
has risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession
for us.
8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall
tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril,
or sword?
8:36 As it is written, For your sake we are killed all the day long;
we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him
that loved us.
8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels,
nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
8:39 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.
