Therefore there is now
no
acondemnation
for those
who are bin cChrist
Jesus
.
For athe law of the Spirit
of life
1in bChrist
Jesus
chas set
you free
from the law
of sin
and of death
.
For awhat the Law
could
not do, 1 bweak
as it was through
the flesh
, God
did: sending
His own
Son
in cthe likeness
of 2sinful
flesh
and as an offering for sin
, He condemned
sin
in the flesh
,
so that the arequirement
of the Law
might be fulfilled
in us, who bdo not walk
according
to the flesh
but according
to the Spirit
.
For those who are according
to the flesh
set
their minds
on athe things of the flesh
, but those
who are according
to the Spirit
, bthe things of the Spirit
.
aFor the mind set
on the flesh
is bdeath
, but the mind
set
on the Spirit
is life
and peace
,
because the mind
set
on the flesh
is ahostile
toward
God
; for it does not subject
itself to the law
of God
, for it is not even
able
to do so,
and those who are ain the flesh
cannot
please
God
.
However, you are not ain the flesh
but in the Spirit
, if
indeed
the Spirit
of God
bdwells
in you. But cif
anyone
does not have
the Spirit
of Christ
, he does not belong
to Him.
aIf Christ
is in you, though
the body
is dead
because
of sin
, yet
the spirit
is 1alive
because
of righteousness
.
But if the Spirit
of Him who araised
Jesus
from the dead
dwells
in you, bHe who raised
cChrist
Jesus
from the dead
will also
give
life
to your mortal
bodies
1through
His Spirit
who dwells
in you.
So then
, brethren
, we are under
obligation
, not to the flesh
, to live
according
to the flesh
--
for aif you are living
according
to the flesh
, you 1must
die
; but if
by the Spirit
you are bputting
to death
the deeds
of the body
, you will live
.
For all who
are abeing led
by the Spirit
of God
, these
are bsons
of God
.
For you ahave not received a spirit
of slavery
1leading
to fear
again
, but you bhave received
2a spirit
of adoption
as sons
by which
we cry
out, " cAbba
! Father
!"
The Spirit Himself
atestifies
with our spirit
that we are bchildren
of God
,
and if children
, aheirs
also
, heirs
of God
and fellow
heirs
with Christ
, bif
indeed
we suffer
with Him so
that we may also
be glorified
with Him.
For I consider that the sufferings
of this
present
time
aare not worthy
to be compared with the bglory
that is to be revealed
to us.
For the aanxious longing
of the creation
waits
eagerly
for bthe revealing
of the csons
of God
.
For the creation awas subjected
to bfutility
, not willingly
, but cbecause
of Him who subjected
it, 1in hope
that athe creation itself
also
will be set
free
from its slavery
to corruption
into the freedom
of the glory
of the children
of God
.
For we know that the whole
creation
agroans
and suffers
the pains
of childbirth
together
until
now
.
aAnd not only this, but also
we ourselves
, having
bthe first
fruits
of the Spirit
, even
we ourselves
cgroan
within
ourselves
, dwaiting
eagerly
for our adoption
as sons
, ethe redemption
of our body
.
For ain hope we have been saved
, but bhope
that is seen
is not hope
; for who
hopes
for what
he already sees
?
But aif we hope
for what
we do not see
, with perseverance
we wait
eagerly
for it.
In the same way
the Spirit
also
helps
our weakness
; for awe do not know
how
to pray
as we should
, but bthe Spirit
Himself
intercedes
for us with groanings
too
deep
for words
;
and aHe who searches the hearts
knows
what
bthe mind
of the Spirit
is, because
He cintercedes
for the 1saints
according
to the will of God
.
And we know that 1God
causes
aall
things
to work
together
for good
to those
who love
God
, to those
who are bcalled
according
to His purpose
.
For those whom
He aforeknew
, He also
bpredestined
to become cconformed
to the image
of His Son
, so
that He would be the dfirstborn
among
many
brethren
;
and these whom
He apredestined
, He also
bcalled
; and these
whom
He called
, He also
cjustified
; and these
whom
He justified
, He also
dglorified
.
aWhat then
shall we say
to these
things
? bIf
God
is for us, who
is against
us?
He who adid not spare
His own
Son
, but bdelivered
Him over for us all
, how
will He not also
with Him freely
give
us all
things
?
Who will bring
a charge
against
aGod's
elect
? bGod
is the one who justifies
;
who is the one who acondemns
? Christ
Jesus
is He who bdied
, yes
, rather
who was 1 craised
, who
is dat the right
hand
of God
, who
also
eintercedes
for us.
Who will separate
us from athe love
of 1Christ
? Will btribulation
, or
distress
, or
cpersecution
, or
cfamine
, or
cnakedness
, or
cperil
, or
sword
?
Just as it is written
, " aFOR YOUR SAKE
WE ARE BEING PUT
TO DEATH
ALL
DAY
LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED
AS SHEEP
TO BE SLAUGHTERED
."
But in all these
things
we overwhelmingly
aconquer
through
bHim who loved
us.
For I am convinced that neither
adeath
, nor
life
, nor
bangels
, nor
principalities
, nor
athings
present
, nor
things
to come
, nor
powers
,
nor height
, nor
depth
, nor
any
other
created
thing
, will be able
to separate
us from athe love
of God
, which is bin Christ
Jesus
our Lord
.
