1There
is therefore
now no
condemnation
to them
which are in
Christ
Jesus, who
walk not
after the
flesh, but
after the
Spirit.
2For
the law of
the Spirit
of life in
Christ Jesus
hath made me
free from
the law of
sin and
death.
3For
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:
4That
the
righteousness
of the law
might be
fulfilled in
us, who walk
not after
the flesh,
but after
the Spirit.
5For
they that
are after
the flesh do
mind the
things of
the flesh;
but they
that are
after the
Spirit the
things of
the Spirit.
6For
to be
carnally
minded is death;
but to be
spiritually
minded is life
and peace.
7Because
the carnal
mind is enmity
against God:
for it is
not subject
to the law
of God,
neither
indeed can
be.
8So
then they
that are in
the flesh
cannot
please God.
9But
ye are not
in the
flesh, but
in the
Spirit, if
so be that
the Spirit
of God dwell
in you. Now
if any man
have not the
Spirit of
Christ, he
is none of
his.
10And
if Christ be in
you, the
body is dead
because of
sin; but the
Spirit is life
because of
righteousness.
11But
if the
Spirit of
him that
raised up
Jesus from
the dead
dwell in
you, he that
raised up
Christ from
the dead
shall also
quicken your
mortal
bodies by
his Spirit
that
dwelleth in
you.
12Therefore,
brethren, we
are debtors,
not to the
flesh, to
live after
the flesh.
13For
if ye live
after the
flesh, ye
shall die:
but if ye
through the
Spirit do
mortify the
deeds of the
body, ye
shall live.
14For
as many as
are led by
the Spirit
of God, they
are the sons
of God.
15For
ye have not
received the
spirit of
bondage
again to
fear; but ye
have
received the
Spirit of
adoption,
whereby we
cry, Abba,
Father.
16The
Spirit
itself
beareth
witness with
our spirit,
that we are
the children
of God:
17And
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
together.
18For
I reckon
that the
sufferings
of this
present
time are not
worthy to
be compared with
the glory
which shall
be revealed
in us.
19For
the earnest
expectation
of the
creature
waiteth for
the
manifestation
of the sons
of God.
20For
the creature
was made
subject to
vanity, not
willingly,
but by
reason of
him who hath
subjected the
same in
hope,
21Because
the creature
itself also
shall be
delivered
from the
bondage of
corruption
into the
glorious
liberty of
the children
of God.
22For
we know that
the whole
creation
groaneth and
travaileth
in pain
together
until now.
23And
not only they,
but
ourselves
also, which
have the
firstfruits
of the
Spirit, even
we ourselves
groan within
ourselves,
waiting for
the
adoption, to
wit,
the
redemption
of our body.
24For
we are saved
by hope: but
hope that is
seen is not
hope: for
what a man
seeth, why
doth he yet
hope for?
25But
if we hope
for that we
see not, then do
we with
patience
wait for it.
26Likewise
the Spirit
also helpeth
our
infirmities:
for we know
not what we
should pray
for as we
ought: but
the Spirit
itself
maketh
intercession
for us with
groanings
which cannot
be uttered.
27And
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.
28And
we know that
all things
work
together for
good to them
that love
God, to them
who are the
called
according
to his purpose.
29For
whom he did
foreknow, he
also did
predestinate to
be conformed
to the image
of his Son,
that he
might be the
firstborn
among many
brethren.
30Moreover
whom he did
predestinate,
them he also
called: and
whom he
called, them
he also
justified:
and whom he
justified,
them he also
glorified.
31What
shall we
then say to
these
things? If
God be for
us, who can
be against
us?
32He
that spared
not his own
Son, but
delivered
him up for
us all, how
shall he not
with him
also freely
give us all
things?
33Who
shall lay
any thing to
the charge
of God's
elect? It
is God
that
justifieth.
34Who is he
that
condemneth? It
is Christ
that died,
yea rather,
that is
risen again,
who is even
at the right
hand of God,
who also
maketh
intercession
for us.
35Who
shall
separate us
from the
love of
Christ? shall tribulation,
or distress,
or
persecution,
or famine,
or
nakedness,
or peril, or
sword?
36As
it is
written, For
thy sake we
are killed
all the day
long; we are
accounted as
sheep for
the
slaughter.
37Nay,
in all these
things we
are more
than
conquerors
through him
that loved
us.
38For
I am
persuaded,
that neither
death, nor
life, nor
angels, nor
principalities,
nor powers,
nor things
present, nor
things to
come,
39Nor
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.
