Romans Chapter 8 (NASB)
undefined
Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
undefined
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.
undefined
For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God [did]: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and [as an offering] for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,
undefined
so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
undefined
For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
undefined
For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,
undefined
because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able [to do so],
undefined
and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
undefined
However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.
undefined
If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
undefined
But 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, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh--
undefined
for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
undefined
For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
undefined
For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, 'Abba! Father!'
undefined
The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,
undefined
and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with [Him] so that we may also be glorified with [Him].
undefined
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
undefined
For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly 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 also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
undefined
For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.
undefined
And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for [our] adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.
undefined
For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he [already] sees?
undefined
But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.
undefined
In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for [us] with groanings too deep for words;
undefined
and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to [the will of] God.
undefined
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to [His] purpose.
undefined
For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined [to become] conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;
undefined
and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.
undefined
What then shall we say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [is] against us?
undefined
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?
undefined
Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies;
undefined
who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
undefined
Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
undefined
Just as it is written, 'FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED.'
undefined
But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.
undefined
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
undefined
nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
