Romans

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. 16 The 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.
