1 | [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus , who walk not after the flesh , but after the Spirit . |
2 | For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death . |
3 | For what the law could not do , in that it was weak through the flesh , God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh , and for sin , condemned sin in the flesh : |
4 | That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us , who walk not after the flesh , but after the Spirit . |
5 | For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh ; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit . |
6 | For to be carnally minded [is] death ; but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace . |
7 | Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God : for it is not subject to the law of God , neither indeed can be . |
8 | So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God . |
9 | But ye are not in the flesh , but in the Spirit , if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you . Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ , he is none of his . |
10 | And if Christ [be] in you , the body [is] dead because of sin ; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness . |
11 | But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you , he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you . |
12 | Therefore , brethren , we are debtors , not to the flesh , to live after the flesh . |
13 | For if ye live after the flesh , ye shall die : but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body , ye shall live . |
14 | For as many as are led by the Spirit of God , they are the sons of God . |
15 | For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear ; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption , whereby we cry , Abba , Father . |
16 | The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit , that we are the children of God : |
17 | And if children , then heirs ; heirs of God , and joint-heirs with Christ ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified together . |
18 | For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us . |
19 | For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God . |
20 | For the creature was made subject to vanity , not willingly , but by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope , |
21 | Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God . |
22 | For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now . |
23 | And not only [they], but ourselves also , which have the firstfruits of the Spirit , even we ourselves groan within ourselves , waiting for the adoption , [to wit], the redemption of our body . |
24 | For we are saved by hope : but hope that is seen is not hope : for what a man seeth , why doth he yet hope for ? |
25 | But if we hope for that we see not , [then] do we with patience wait for [it]. |
26 | Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities : for we know not what we should pray for as we ought : but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered . |
27 | And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit , because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God . |
28 | And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God , to them who are the called according to [his] purpose . |
29 | For whom he did foreknow , he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son , that he might be the firstborn among many brethren . |
30 | Moreover whom he did predestinate , them he also called : and whom he called , them he also justified : and whom he justified , them he also glorified . |
31 | What shall we then say to these things ? If God [be] for us , who [can be] against us ? |
32 | He that spared not his own Son , but delivered him up for us all , how shall he not with him also freely give us all things ? |
33 | Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect ? [It is] God that justifieth . |
34 | Who [is] he that condemneth ? [It is] Christ that died , yea rather , that is risen again , who is even at the right hand of God , who also maketh intercession for us . |
35 | Who shall separate us from the love of Christ ? [shall] tribulation , or distress , or persecution , or famine , or nakedness , or peril , or sword ? |
36 | As it is written , For thy sake we are killed all the day long ; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter . |
37 | Nay , in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us . |
38 | For I am persuaded , that neither death , nor life , nor angels , nor principalities , nor powers , nor things present , nor things to come , |
39 | Nor height , nor depth , nor any other creature , shall be able to separate us from the love of God , which is in Christ Jesus our Lord . |
