Romans (The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the )

[There is] therefore now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to flesh, but according to Spirit.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus set me free from the law of sin and of death.

For the law [being] powerless, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in [the] likeness of sinful flesh, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,

So that the righteous demand of the law might be fulfilled in us, those not walking according to flesh, but according to Spirit.

For the ones that are according to flesh mind the things of the flesh. And the ones according to Spirit [mind] the things of the Spirit.

For the mind of the flesh [is] death, but the mind of the Spirit [is] life and peace;

because the mind of the flesh [is] enmity towards God; for it is not subject to the law of God, for neither can [it be].

And those being in the flesh are not able to please God.

But you are not in flesh, but in Spirit, since [the] Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone has not [the] Spirit of Christ, this one is not His.

But if Christ [is] in you, the body indeed [is] dead because of sin, but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.

But if the Spirit of the [One] having raised Jesus from [the] dead dwells in you, the [One] having raised the Christ from [the] dead will also make your mortal bodies live through the indwelling of His Spirit in you.

So, then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to flesh,

for if you live according to flesh, you are going to die. But if by [the] Spirit you put to death the practices of the body, you will live.

For as many as are led by [the] Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God.

And if children, also heirs; truly heirs of God, and joint-heirs of Christ, if indeed we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.

For I calculate that the sufferings of the present time [are] not worthy [to compare to] the coming glory to be revealed in us.

For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly awaits the revelation of the sons of God.

For the creation was not willingly subjected to vanity, but through Him subjecting [it], on hope;

that also the creation will be freed from the slavery of corruption to the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

For we know that all the creation groans together and travails together until now.

And not only [so], but also we ourselves having the firstfruit of the Spirit, also we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly expecting adoption, the redemption of our body;

for we were saved by hope, but hope being seen is not hope; for what anyone sees, why does he also hope?

But if we hope for what we do not see, through patience we wait eagerly.

And likewise the Spirit also joins in to help our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray as we ought, but the Spirit Himself pleads our case for us with groanings that cannot be uttered.

But the [One] searching the hearts knows what [is the] mind of the Spirit, because He intercedes for the saints according to God.

But we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to purpose;

because whom He foreknew, He also predestinated [to be] conformed to the image of His Son, for Him to be [the] First-born among many brothers.

But whom He predestinated, these He also called; and whom He called, these He also justified; but whom He justified, these He also glorified.

What then shall we say to these things? If God [be] for us, who [can be] against us?

Truly [He] who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not freely give us all things with Him?

Who will bring any charge against God's elect? God [is] the [One] justifying!

Who [is he] condemning? [It is] Christ who has died, but rather also [is] raised, who also is at [the] right [hand] of God, who also intercedes for us.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? [Shall] tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

Even as it has been written, "For Your sake we are killed all the day; we are counted as sheep of slaughter."

But in all these things we more than conquer through Him loving us.

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

nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus, our Lord.
