1 T here is, then, now no condemnation to those 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 the life in Christ Jesus did set me free from the law of the sin and of the 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 what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the 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 may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk 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 who are according to the flesh, the things of the flesh do mind; and those according to the Spirit, the things 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 mind of the flesh death, and the mind 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 mind of the flesh enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself,

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 f or neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.

and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 A nd ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God doth dwell in you; and if any one hath not the Spirit of Christ -- this one is not His;

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 a nd if Christ in you, the body, indeed, dead because of sin, and the Spirit life 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 who did raise up Jesus out of the dead doth dwell in you, He who did raise up the Christ out of the dead shall quicken also your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling 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 S o, then, 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 according to the flesh ye do live, ye are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body ye put to death, 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 as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God;

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

15 f or ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which 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 T he Spirit himself doth testify 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, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ -- if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.

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 reckon that the sufferings of the present time not worthy with the glory about to be revealed 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 looking out of the creation doth expect the revelation 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 to vanity was the creation made subject -- not of its will, but because of Him who did subject -- in hope,

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

21 t hat also the creation itself shall be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children 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 have known that all the creation doth groan together, and doth travail in pain together till now.

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

23 A nd not only, but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves in ourselves do groan, adoption expecting -- 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 were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what any one doth behold, why also doth he hope 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 a nd if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect.

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

26 A nd, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth, we have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession for us with groanings unutterable,

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 a nd He who is searching the hearts hath known what the mind of the Spirit, because according to God he doth intercede for 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 have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;

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 b ecause whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born 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 whom He did fore-appoint, these also He did call; and whom He did call, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He did glorify.

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 W hat, then, shall we say unto these things? if God for us, who against us?

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

32 H e who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us?

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 lay a charge against the choice ones of God? God He that is declaring righteous,

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

34 w ho he that is condemning? Christ He that died, yea, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of God -- who also doth intercede 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 love of the Christ? 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 ( according as it hath been written -- `For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long, we were reckoned as sheep of 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 b ut in all these we more than conquer, through him who loved us;

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

38 f or I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,

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 things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, that 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.
