Romans Chapter[BR] 8

1 Therefore, no condemnation now exists for those in Christ Jesus,

2 because the Spirit's law of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

3 What the law could not do since it was limited by the flesh, God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending His own Son in flesh like ours under sin's domain, and as a sin offering,

Romans Chapter[BR] 8

4 in order that the law's requirement would be accomplished in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

5 For those whose lives are according to the flesh think about the things of the flesh, but those whose lives are according to the Spirit, about the things of the Spirit.

6 For the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set of the Spirit is life and peace.

Romans Chapter[BR] 8

7 For the mind-set of the flesh is hostile to God because it does not submit itself to God's law, for it is unable to do so.

8 Those whose lives are in the flesh are unable to please God.

9 You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God lives in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

Romans Chapter[BR] 8

10 Now if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through His Spirit who lives in you.

12 So then, brothers, we are not obligated to the flesh to live according to the flesh,

Romans Chapter[BR] 8

13 for if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

14 All those led by God's Spirit are God's sons.

15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father!"

Romans Chapter[BR] 8

16 The Spirit Himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God's children,

17 and if children, also heirs-- heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ-- seeing that we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is going to be revealed to us.

Romans Chapter[BR] 8

19 For the creation eagerly waits with anticipation for God's sons to be revealed.

20 For the creation was subjected to futility-- not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it-- in the hope

21 that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage of corruption into the glorious freedom of God's children.

Romans Chapter[BR] 8

22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together with labor pains until now.

23 And not only that, but we ourselves who have the Spirit as the firstfruits-- we also groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for adoption, the redemption of our bodies.

24 Now in this hope we were saved, yet hope that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees?

Romans Chapter[BR] 8

25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with patience.

26 In the same way the Spirit also joins to help in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with unspoken groanings.

27 And He who searches the hearts knows the Spirit's mind-set, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

Romans Chapter[BR] 8

28 We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.

29 For those He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.

30 And those He predestined, He also called; and those He called, He also justified; and those He justified, He also glorified.

Romans Chapter[BR] 8

31 What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

32 He did not even spare His own Son, but offered Him up for us all; how will He not also with Him grant us everything?

33 Who can bring an accusation against God's elect? God is the One who justifies.

34 Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is the One who died, but even more, has been raised; He also is at the right hand of God and intercedes for us.

Romans Chapter[BR] 8

35 Who can separate us from the love of Christ? Can affliction or anguish or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?

36 As it is written: Because of You we are being put to death all day long; we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.

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

Romans Chapter[BR] 8

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

39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will have the power to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!
