1 ¶ 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.

Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

2 F or the law of the Spirit of life in Christ, Jesus, has made me free from the law of sin and death.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

3 F or 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

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,

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

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.

5 F or 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.

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.

6 F or the prudence of the flesh is death, but the prudence of the Spirit, life and peace,

For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,

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

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,

8 S o then, those that are carnal cannot please God.

and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 B ut 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.

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.

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

If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

11 A nd 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.

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.

12 T herefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh—

13 F or 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.

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.

14 F or all that are led by the Spirit of God, the same are sons of God.

For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

15 F or 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.

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!”

16 F or the same Spirit bears witness unto our spirit that we are sons of God,

The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,

17 ¶ 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.

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.

18 F or 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.

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.

19 F or the earnest hope of the creatures waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.

For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.

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

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

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

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.

22 F or we now know that all the creatures groan together and travail in pain together until now.

For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.

23 A nd 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.

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.

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

For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees?

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

But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. Our Victory in Christ

26 ¶ 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.

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;

27 B ut 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.

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.

28 A nd 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.

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.

29 ¶ 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.

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;

30 A nd 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.

and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.

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

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

32 H e 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?

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?

33 W ho shall accuse the chosen of God’s? God is he that justifies them.

Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies;

34 W ho 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.

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.

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

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will 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.)

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.”

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

But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.

38 T herefore I am certain that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor things to come

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

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

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.
