1 T here is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.

¶ So that now, there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ, Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

2 F or 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 made me free from the law of sin and death.

3 F or 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:

For that which was impossible to the law, 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 t hat the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

5 F or they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

For those that are according to the flesh know the things that are of the flesh; but those that are according to the Spirit, the things that are of the Spirit.

6 F or 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, life and peace,

7 b ecause the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be:

because the prudence of the flesh is enmity against God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, neither indeed can it.

8 a nd they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

So then, those that are carnal cannot please God.

9 B ut ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, because the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, that person is not of him.

10 A nd if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness.

¶ But if Christ is in you, the body is truly dead because of sin, but the Spirit is alive because of righteousness.

11 B ut if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised up the Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.

12 S o then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh:

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

13 f or if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

For if ye live according to the flesh, ye shall die; but if through the Spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

14 F or as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

For all that are led by the Spirit of God, the same are sons of God.

15 F or ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

For ye have not received the spirit of slavery to be in fear again, but ye have received the Spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

16 T he Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:

For the same Spirit bears witness unto our spirit that we are sons of God,

17 a nd 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 with him.

¶ and if sons, also heirs certainly of God and joint-heirs with Christ, if so be that we suffer with him that we may be also glorified together with him.

18 F or I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward.

For I know with certainty that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the coming glory which shall be manifested in us.

19 F or the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God.

For the earnest hope of the creatures waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.

20 F or the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope

For the creatures were subjected to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who has subjected them,

21 t hat the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

with the hope that the same creatures shall be delivered from the slavery of corruption into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.

22 F or we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

For we now know that all the creatures groan together and travail in pain together until now.

23 A nd not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

And not only they, but ourselves also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, that is to say, the redemption of our body.

24 F or in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth?

For in hope we are saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for what a man sees, he does not wait for.

25 B ut if we hope for that which we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

But if we wait for that which we do not see, with patience we wait for it.

26 A nd in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered;

¶ And likewise also the Spirit helps our weakness; for we know not how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit itself makes entreaty for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27 a nd 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.

But he that searches the hearts knows what is the desire of the Spirit, that according to the will of God, he makes entreaty for the saints.

28 A nd we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose.

And we now know that unto those who love God, all things help them unto good, to those who according to the purpose are called to be saints.

29 F or whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:

¶ For unto those whom he knew beforehand, he also marked out beforehand the way that they might be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 a nd whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

And unto those whom he did mark out beforehand the way, to these he also called; and to whom he called, these he also justified; and to whom he justified, these he also glorified.

31 W hat then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

¶ What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who shall be against us?

32 H e that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?

He that did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also give us all things with him?

33 W ho shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth;

Who shall accuse the chosen of God’s? God is he that justifies them.

34 w ho is he that condemneth? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Who is he that condemns them? Christ, Jesus, is he who died and, even more, he that also rose again, who furthermore is at the right hand of God, who also makes entreaty for us.

35 W ho shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Who shall separate us from the charity of Christ? shall tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?

36 E ven as it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

(As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.)

37 N ay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Nevertheless, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 F or I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

Therefore I am certain that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor things to come

39 n or 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.

nor height nor depth nor any creature shall be able to separate us from the charity of God, which is in Christ, Jesus our Lord.
