There is therefore[G686]now[G3568]no[G3762]condemnation[G2631] to them which are in[G1722]Christ[G5547]Jesus[G2424], who walk[G4043]not[G3361]after[G2596] the flesh[G4561], but[G235]after[G2596] the Spirit[G4151].
2For[G1063] the law[G3551] of the Spirit[G4151] of life[G2222]in[G1722]Christ[G5547]Jesus[G2424] hath made[G1659]me[G3165]free[G1659]from[G575] the law[G3551] of sin[G266]and[G2532]death[G2288].
3For[G1063] what the law[G3551] could not do[G102], in[G1722]that[G3739] it was weak[G770]through[G1223] the flesh[G4561], God[G2316]sending[G3992] his own[G1438]Son[G5207]in[G1722] the likeness[G3667] of sinful[G266]flesh[G4561], and[G2532]for[G4012]sin[G266], condemned[G2632]sin[G266]in[G1722] the flesh[G4561]:
4That[G2443] the righteousness[G1345] of the law[G3551] might be fulfilled[G4137]in[G1722]us[G2254], who walk[G4043]not[G3361]after[G2596] the flesh[G4561], but[G235]after[G2596] the Spirit[G4151].
5For[G1063] they that are[G5607]after[G2596] the flesh[G4561] do mind[G5426] the things[G3588] of the flesh[G4561]; but[G1161] they that are[G5607]after[G2596] the Spirit[G4151] the things[G3588] of the Spirit[G4151].
6For[G1063] to be[G5427]carnally[G4561]minded[G5427] is death[G2288]; but[G1161] to be[G5427]spiritually[G4151]minded[G5427] is life[G2222]and[G2532]peace[G1515].
7Because[G1360] the carnal[G4561]mind[G5427]is[G5293]enmity[G2189]against[G1519]God[G2316]: for[G1063] it is[G5293]not[G3756]subject[G5293] to the law[G3551] of God[G2316], neither[G3761]indeed[G1063] can be[G1410].
8
So then[G1161] they that are[G5607]in[G1722] the flesh[G4561]cannot[G3756]please[G700]God[G2316].
9But[G1161]ye[G5210]are[G2075]not[G3756]in[G1722] the flesh[G4561], but[G235]in[G1722] the Spirit[G4151], if so be[G1512] that the Spirit[G4151] of God[G2316]dwell[G3611]in[G1722]you[G5213]. Now[G1161] if any man[G1536]have[G2192]not[G3756] the Spirit[G4151] of Christ[G5547], he[G3778]is[G2076]none[G3756] of his[G846].
10And[G1161]if[G1487]Christ[G5547] be in[G1722]you[G5213], the body[G4983] is dead[G3498]because[G1223] of sin[G266]; but[G1161] the Spirit[G4151] is life[G2222]because[G1223] of righteousness[G1343].
11But[G1161]if[G1487] the Spirit[G4151] of him that raised up[G1453]Jesus[G2424]from[G1537] the dead[G3498]dwell[G3611]in[G1722]you[G5213], he that raised up[G1453]Christ[G5547]from[G1537] the dead[G3498]shall[G2227]also[G2532]quicken[G2227]your[G5216]mortal[G2349]bodies[G4983]by[G1223]his[G846]Spirit[G4151] that dwelleth[G1774]in[G1722]you[G5213].
12Therefore[G686], brethren[G80], we are[G2070]debtors[G3781], not[G3756] to the flesh[G4561], to live[G2198]after[G2596] the flesh[G4561].
13For[G1063]if[G1487]ye[G2289]live[G2198]after[G2596] the flesh[G4561], ye[G2289]shall[G3195]die[G599]: but[G1161]if[G1487]ye[G2289] through the Spirit[G4151] do mortify[G2289] the deeds[G4234] of the body[G4983], ye[G2289]shall[G3195]live[G2198].
14For[G1063]as[G3745] many as[G3745]are[G1526]led[G71] by the Spirit[G4151] of God[G2316], they[G3778]are[G1526] the sons[G5207] of God[G2316].
15For[G1063] ye have[G2983]not[G3756]received[G2983] the spirit[G4151] of bondage[G1397]again[G3825]to[G1519]fear[G5401]; but[G235] ye have[G2983]received[G2983] the Spirit[G4151] of adoption[G5206], whereby[G1722] we cry[G2896], Abba[G5], Father[G3962].
16
The Spirit[G4151]itself[G846] beareth witness[G4828] with our[G2257]spirit[G4151], that[G3754] we are[G2070] the children[G5043] of God[G2316]:
17And[G1161]if[G1487]children[G5043], then[G2532]heirs[G2818]; heirs[G2818] of God[G3303], and[G1161]joint-heirs[G4789]with[G4841]Christ[G5547]; if[G1487] so be[G1512]that[G2443] we suffer with[G4841] him, that[G2443] we may be[G4888]also[G2532] glorified together[G4888].
18For[G1063] I reckon[G3049]that[G3754] the sufferings[G3804] of this present[G3568]time[G2540] are not[G3756]worthy[G514] to be compared with[G4314] the glory[G1391] which shall[G3195] be revealed[G601]in[G1519]us[G2248].
19For[G1063] the earnest expectation[G603] of the creature[G2937]waiteth[G553]for[G1063] the manifestation[G602] of the sons[G5207] of God[G2316].
20For[G1063] the creature[G2937] was made subject[G5293] to vanity[G3153], not[G3756]willingly[G1635], but[G235] by reason[G1223] of him who hath subjected[G5293] the same in[G1909]hope[G1680],
21Because[G3754] the creature[G2937]itself[G846]also[G2532] shall be delivered[G1659]from[G575] the bondage[G1397] of corruption[G5356]into[G1519] the glorious[G1391]liberty[G1657] of the children[G5043] of God[G2316].
22For[G1063] we know[G1492]that[G3754] the whole[G3956]creation[G2937]groaneth[G4959]and[G2532] travaileth in pain together[G4944]until[G891]now[G3568].
23And[G1161]not[G3756]only[G3440] they, but[G235]ourselves[G846]also[G2532], which have[G2192] the firstfruits[G536] of the Spirit[G4151], even[G2532]we[G2249]ourselves[G1438]groan[G4727]within[G1722]ourselves[G1438], waiting[G553] for the adoption[G5206], to wit, the redemption[G629] of our[G2257]body[G4983].
24For[G1063] we are saved[G4982] by hope[G1680]: but[G1161]hope[G1680] that is[G2076]seen[G991]is[G2076]not[G3756]hope[G1680]: for[G1679]what[G3739] a man[G5100]seeth[G991], why[G5101] doth he[G1679]yet[G2532]hope[G1680]for?[G1679]
25But[G1161]if[G1487]we[G553]hope[G1679]for[G553]that[G3739]we[G553]see[G991]not[G3756], then do we[G553]with[G1223]patience[G5281] wait for[G553] it.
26Likewise[G5615] the Spirit[G4151]also[G2532]helpeth[G4878]our[G2257]infirmities[G769]: for[G1063] we know[G1492]not[G3756]what[G5101] we should pray for[G4336]as[G2526] we ought[G1163]: but[G235] the Spirit[G4151]itself[G846] maketh intercession[G5241]for[G5228]us[G2257] with groanings[G4726] which cannot be uttered[G215].
27And[G1161] he that searcheth[G2045] the hearts[G2588]knoweth[G1492]what[G5101] is the mind[G5427] of the Spirit[G4151], because[G3754] he maketh intercession[G1793]for[G5228] the saints[G40]according[G2596] to the will of God[G2316].
28And[G1161] we know[G1492]that[G3754] all things[G3956] work together[G4903]for[G1519]good[G18] to them that[G3754]love[G25]God[G2316], to them who are[G5607] the called[G2822]according[G2596] to his purpose[G4286].
29For[G3754]whom[G3739]he[G4309] did foreknow[G4267], he[G846]also[G2532] did predestinate[G4309] to be[G1511]conformed[G4832] to the image[G1504] of his[G846]Son[G5207], that[G1519]he[G846] might be[G1511] the firstborn[G4416]among[G1722]many[G4183]brethren[G80].
30Moreover[G1161]whom[G3739]he[G2564] did predestinate[G4309], them[G5128]he[G1344]also[G2532]called[G2564]: and[G2532]whom[G3739]he[G1392]called[G2564], them[G5128]he[G1392]also[G2532]justified[G1344]: and[G1161]whom[G3739]he[G1392]justified[G1344], them[G5128]he[G1392]also[G2532]glorified[G1392].
31What[G5101] shall we[G2046]then[G3767]say[G2046]to[G4314] these things?[G5023]If[G1487]God[G2316] be for[G5228]us[G2257], who[G5101] can be against[G2596]us?[G2257]
32He[G5483]that[G3739]spared[G5339]not[G3756] his own[G2398]Son[G5207], but[G235]delivered[G3860]him[G846]up[G3860]for[G5228]us[G2257]all[G3956], how[G4459] shall he[G5483]not[G3780]with[G4862]him[G846]also[G2532] freely give[G5483]us[G2254]all[G3956]things?[G3956]
33Who[G5101] shall lay any thing[G1458] to the charge[G2596] of God[G2316]'s elect?[G1588] It is God[G2316] that justifieth[G1344].
34Who[G5101]is[G2076] he that condemneth?[G2632] It is[G2076]Christ[G5547] that died[G599], yea[G1161]rather[G3123], that is[G2076] risen again[G1453], who[G3739]is[G2076]even[G2532]at[G1722] the right hand[G1188] of God[G2316], who[G3739]also[G2532] maketh intercession[G1793]for[G5228]us[G2257].
35Who[G5101] shall separate[G5563]us[G2248]from[G575] the love[G26] of Christ?[G5547] shall tribulation[G2347], or[G2228]distress[G4730], or[G2228]persecution[G1375], or[G2228]famine[G3042], or[G2228]nakedness[G1132], or[G2228]peril[G2794], or[G2228]sword?[G3162]
36As[G2531] it is written[G1125], For thy[G4675]sake[G1752] we are killed[G2289]all[G3650] the day long[G2250]; we are accounted[G3049]as[G5613]sheep[G4263] for the slaughter[G4967].
37Nay[G235], in[G1722]all[G3956] these things[G5125] we are more than conquerors[G5245]through[G1223] him that loved[G25]us[G2248].
38For[G1063] I am persuaded[G3982], that[G3754]neither[G3777]death[G2288], nor[G3777]life[G2222], nor[G3777]angels[G32], nor[G3777]principalities[G746], nor[G3777]powers[G1411], nor[G3777] things present[G1764], nor[G3777] things to come[G3195],
39Nor[G3777]height[G5313], nor[G3777]depth[G899], nor[G3777]any[G5100]other[G2087]creature[G2937], shall be able[G1410] to separate[G5563]us[G2248]from[G575] the love[G26] of God[G2316], which is in[G1722]Christ[G5547]Jesus[G2424]our[G2257]Lord[G2962].
