1 T herefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

2 F or the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you 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, 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,

For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,

4 s o that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

that the righteous 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 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.

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, the things of the Spirit.

6 F or the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,

For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 b ecause 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,

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.

8 a nd those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 H owever, 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.

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

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

And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

11 B ut 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.

But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Sonship Through the Spirit

12 S o then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh—

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

13 f or 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.

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.

14 F or all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

15 F or 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!”

For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

16 T he Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,

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

17 a nd 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.

and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. From Suffering to Glory

18 F or 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.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

19 F or the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.

For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.

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

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

21 t hat the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

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

For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.

23 A nd 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.

Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

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

For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?

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

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

26 I n 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;

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27 a nd 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.

Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

28 A nd 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.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

29 F or 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;

For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

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

Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. God’s Everlasting Love

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

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

32 H e 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?

He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

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

Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.

34 w ho 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.

Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

35 W ho will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

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

36 J ust as it is written, “ For Your sake we are being put to death all day long; We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

37 B ut in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

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

For I am persuaded 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 created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
