1 There is therefore now no
condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the
flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life
in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For 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:
4 That the righteousness of the law
might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the
Spirit.
5 For 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.
6 For to be carnally minded is
death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is
enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither
indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh
cannot please God.
9 But 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.
10 And if Christ be in you,
the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life
because of righteousness.
11 But 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.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are
debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For 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.
14 For as many as are led by the
Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For 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:
17 And 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.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings
of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the
glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of
the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject
to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the
same in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also
shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious
liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole
creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And 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.
24 For we are saved by hope: but
hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope
for?
25 But if we hope for that we see
not, then do we with patience wait for it.
26 Likewise 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.
27 And 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.
28 And we know that all things work
together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called
according to his purpose.
29 For 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.
30 Moreover whom he did
predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also
justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 What shall we then say to these
things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He 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?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the
charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who 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.
35 Who shall separate us from the
love of Christ? shall 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.
37 Nay, in all these things we are
more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither
death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things
present, nor things to come,
39 Nor 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.
