Romans 8

CHAPTER 8 The Law of the Spirit

1 In nothing then is there now condemnation to the ones in Christ Jesus, not [²according to ³the flesh ¹walking], but according to spirit. 2 For the law of the spirit of the life in Christ Jesus freed me from the law of the sin and of death. 3 For the powerlessness of the law in which it was weak through the flesh, God [²his own ³son ¹sent forth] in the likeness of flesh of sin, and concerning sin condemned the sin in the flesh, 4 that the ordinance of the law should be fulfilled in us, to the ones not [²according to ³flesh ¹walking], but according to spirit. 5 For the ones [²according to ³flesh ¹being] [²the things ³of the ⁴flesh ¹think]; but the ones according to spirit think the things of the spirit. 6 For the thought of the flesh is death, but the thought of the spirit is life and peace. 7 Because the thought of the flesh is hatred to God; for to the law of God it does not submit, for neither is it able; 8 and the ones [²in ³flesh ¹being ⁷God ⁶to please ⁴are not ⁵able]. 9 But you are not in flesh, but in spirit, if indeed spirit of God lives in you. But if anyone [³spirit ⁴of Christ ¹does not ²have], this one is not of him. 10 But if Christ is in you, indeed the body is dead on account of sin, but the spirit is life through righteousness. 11 And if the spirit of the one raising Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one having raised the Christ from the dead shall restore to life also [²mortal ³bodies ¹your] on account of [³dwelling ¹his ²spirit] in you. 12 It is so then, brethren, [³debtors ¹we are ²not] to the flesh, [²according to ³flesh ¹to live]. 13 For if [²according to ³flesh ¹you live] you are about to die. But if in spirit [²the ³actions ⁴of the ⁵body ¹you put to death] you shall live. 14 For as many as [²in spirit ³of God ¹are led], these are sons of God. 15 [³not ¹For ²you received] a spirit of slavery again unto fear, but you received a spirit of adoption, in which we cry out, Abba, Father. 16 [³itself ¹The ²spirit] bears witness together to our spirit, that we are children of God. 17 And if children, also heirs; heirs indeed of God, but joint-heirs of Christ; if indeed we suffer together, that also we should be glorified together.

The Sufferings of the Present Time

18 For I consider that [⁶are not ⁷worthy to be compared ¹the ²sufferings ³of the ⁴present ⁵time] to the [²about to be ¹glory] uncovered unto us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation [²the ³uncovering ⁴of the ⁵sons ⁶of God ¹awaits]. 20 For to vanity the creation was submitted, not willingly, but through the one submitting it, upon hope; 21 that even [³itself ¹the ²creation] shall be freed from the slavery of corruption, unto the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that all the creation groans together, and suffers distress together, as far as the present. 23 [²not ³only that ¹And], but also ourselves [²the ³first-fruit ⁴of the ⁵spirit ¹having], even we ourselves in ourselves moan, [²adoption ¹awaiting] -- the release by ransom of our body. 24 For in the hope we were delivered. But hope being seen is not hope; for what anyone sees, why also does he hope? 25 But if [²for what ³we do not ⁴see ¹we hope], [²by ³endurance ¹we await]. 26 And likewise also the spirit aids in our weaknesses. For the thing -- what we pray for according to necessity, we do not know; but [³itself ¹the ²spirit] intercedes for us [²moanings ¹with unutterable]. 27 But the one searching the hearts knows what the thought of the spirit is, for according to God it intercedes for the holy ones. 28 But we know that to the ones loving God all things work together for good, to the ones [³according to ⁴purpose ²called ¹being]. 29 For of whom he foreknew, also he predefined conformable to the image of his son, for him to be first-born among many brethren. 30 But the ones whom he predefined, these also he called. And whom he called, these also he justified. And whom he justified, these also he glorified.

God's Everlasting Love

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 The one who indeed [²his own ³son ¹spared not], but [²for ³us ⁴all ¹delivered him up], how [²not ³also ⁷with ⁸him ⁵all things ⁶to us ¹shall he ⁴grant]? 33 Who accuses against the chosen of God? God is the one justifying. 34 Who is the one condemning? Christ is the one having died, and more also being arisen, who also is at the right of God, who also intercedes for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? affliction, or straits, or persecution, or hunger, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it has been written, that, Because of you we are put to death the entire day; we are considered as sheep for slaughter. 37 But in all these things we are completely victorious through the one having loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor sovereignties, nor powers, nor things present, nor things about to be, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any [²creation ¹other], shall be able to separate us from the love of God, of the one in Christ Jesus our Lord.
