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.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who are not walking according to the flesh.

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 freed me from the law of sin and 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 though this was impossible under the law, because it was weakened by the flesh, God sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and because of sin, in order to condemn 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.

so that the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us. For we are not walking according to the flesh, but according to 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 those who are in agreement with the flesh are mindful of the things of the flesh. But those who are in agreement with the spirit are mindful of the things of the spirit.

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

For the prudence of the flesh is death. But the prudence of the spirit is 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.

And the wisdom of the flesh is inimical to God. For it is not subject to the law of God, nor can it be.

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

So those who are in the flesh are not able to 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.

And you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if it is true that the Spirit of God lives within you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.

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 within you, then the body is indeed dead, concerning sin, but the spirit truly lives, because of justification.

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 the dead lives within you, then he who raised up Jesus Christ from the dead shall also enliven your mortal bodies, by means of his Spirit living within you.

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

Therefore, brothers, we are not debtors to the flesh, so as 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 live according to the flesh, you will die. But if, by the Spirit, you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live.

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

For all those who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God.

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!”

And you have not received, again, a spirit of servitude in fear, but you have received the Spirit of the adoption of sons, in whom we cry out: “Abba, Father!”

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

For the Spirit himself renders testimony to our spirit that we are the sons 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.

But if we are sons, then we are also heirs: certainly heirs of God, but also co-heirs with Christ, yet in such a way that, if we suffer with him, we shall also be glorified with him.

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 consider that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with that future glory which shall be revealed in us.

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

For the anticipation of the creature anticipates the revelation of the sons of God.

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

For the creature was made subject to emptiness, not willingly, but for the sake of the One who made it subject, unto hope.

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.

For the creature itself shall also be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the sons of God.

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

For we know that every creature groans inwardly, as if giving birth, even until now;

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 these, but also ourselves, since we hold the first-fruits of the Spirit. For we also groan within ourselves, anticipating our adoption as the sons of God, and 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 we have been saved by hope. But a hope which is seen is not hope. For when a man sees something, why would he hope?

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

But since we hope for what we do not see, we wait with patience.

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.

And similarly, the Spirit also helps our weakness. For we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself asks on our behalf with ineffable sighing.

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 he who examines hearts knows what the Spirit seeks, because he asks on behalf of the saints in accordance with 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.

And we know that, for those who love God, all things work together unto good, for those who, in accordance with his purpose, are called to be saints.

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 those whom he foreknew, he also predestined, in conformity with the image of his Son, so that he might be the Firstborn among many brothers.

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

And those whom he predestined, he also called. And those whom he called, he also justified. And those whom he justified, he also glorified.

31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

So, what should we say about these things? If God is for us, who is 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 who did not spare even his own Son, but handed him over for the sake of us all, how could he not also, with him, have given us all things?

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

Who will make an accusation against the elect of God? God is the One who justifies;

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 the one who condemns? Christ Jesus who has died, and who has indeed also risen again, is at the right hand of God, and even now he intercedes 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?

Then who will separate us from the love of Christ? Tribulation? Or anguish? Or famine? Or nakedness? Or peril? Or persecution? Or the sword?

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

For it is as it has been written: “For your sake, we are being put to death all day long. We are being treated like sheep for the slaughter.”

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

But in all these things we overcome, because of him who has 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 certain that neither death, nor life, nor Angels, nor Principalities, nor Powers, nor the present things, nor the future things, nor strength,

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 the heights, nor the depths, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
