Romans Chapter 8 (ESV)
undefined
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
undefined
For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
undefined
For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,
undefined
in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
undefined
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 set their minds on the things of the Spirit.
undefined
For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.
undefined
For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.
undefined
Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
undefined
You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
undefined
But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
undefined
If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
undefined
So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
undefined
For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
undefined
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
undefined
For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
undefined
The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
undefined
and if children, then heirs — heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.
undefined
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
undefined
For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.
undefined
For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope
undefined
that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
undefined
For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.
undefined
And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
undefined
For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?
undefined
But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
undefined
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
undefined
And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
undefined
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
undefined
For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
undefined
And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.
undefined
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
undefined
He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?
undefined
Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.
undefined
Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died — more than that, who was raised — who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.
undefined
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
undefined
As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
undefined
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
undefined
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,
undefined
nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
