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 don’t 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 made me free from the law of sin and of 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 couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for 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 ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after 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 the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit 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 mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.

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

Those who are in the flesh can’t 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 it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t 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.

If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive 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 up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

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

So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after 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 after the flesh, you must 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 children 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 didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

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

The Spirit himself testifies 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 with him.

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 will be revealed toward us.

19 F or the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons 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 travails in pain 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 so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for 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 hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which 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 that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.

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;

In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.

For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

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.

Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.

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

What then shall we say about 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?

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

Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? 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, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, 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.”

Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

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

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