Romans 8

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus who ^awalk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. ²For the law of ^bthe Spirit of life in Christ Jesus ^chath made me free from ^dthe law of sin and death. ³For ^ewhat the law could not do, in that ^fit was weak through the flesh, ^gGod sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: ⁴that ^hthe righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, ^awho walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. ⁵For ⁱthey that are after the flesh do ^jmind ^kthe things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit ^lthe things of the Spirit. ⁶For to be carnally minded is ^mdeath; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. ⁷Because the carnal mind is ⁿenmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, ^oneither indeed can be. ⁸So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. ⁹But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, ^pif so be that ^qthe Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not ^qthe Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. ¹⁰And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but ^rthe Spirit is life because of righteousness. ¹¹But if the Spirit of ^shim that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, ^the that raised up Christ from the dead ^ushall also quicken your mortal bodies ^xby his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

¹²Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, ^ynot to the flesh, to live after the flesh. ¹³For ^zif ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do ^amortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. ¹⁴For as many as ^bare led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. ¹⁵For ^cye have not received ^dthe spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of ^eadoption, whereby we cry, ^fAbba, Father. ^16gThe Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are ^hthe children of God: ¹⁷and if children, then ⁱheirs; ⁱheirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; ^kif so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. ¹⁸For I ^lreckon that ^mthe sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with ⁿthe glory which shall be revealed in us. ¹⁹For the ^oearnest expectation of the creature ^pwaiteth for ^ppthe manifestation of the sons of God. ²⁰For ^qthe creature was made subject to ^rvanity, not willingly, but ^sby reason of him who hath subjected the same, in hope, ²¹because the creature itself also shall be ^tdelivered from the bondage of ^ucorruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. ²²For we know that the ^vwhole creation ^wgroaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. ²³And ^xnot only they, but ourselves also, ^gwhich have ^ythe firstfruits of the Spirit, ^zeven we ourselves groan within ourselves, ^awaiting for ^bthe adoption, to wit, the ^credemption of our body. ²⁴For we are saved by hope: but ^dhope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? ²⁵But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience ^await for it. ²⁶Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for ^ewe know not what we should pray for as we ought: but ^fthe Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. ²⁷And ^ghe that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is ^hthe mind of the Spirit, because ⁱhe maketh intercession for the saints ^jaccording to the will of God. ²⁸And we know that ^kall things work together ^lfor good to them that love God, to them ^mwho are the called according to his ⁿpurpose. ²⁹For whom he did ^oforeknow, he also did ^ppredestinate to be ^qconformed to ^rthe image of his Son, that he might be ^sthe firstborn amongst many ^tbrethren. ³⁰Moreover whom he did ^ppredestinate, them he also ^ucalled: and whom he called, them he also ^xjustified: and whom he justified, them he also ^yglorified. ³¹What shall we then say to these things? ^zIf God be for us, who can be against us? ³²He that ^aspared not his own Son, but ^bdelivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also ^cfreely give us ^dall things? ³³Who shall ^elay any thing to the charge of ^fGod’s elect? ^gIt is God that justifieth: ^34ghwho is he that condemneth? It is Christ that ^bidied, yea rather, that is risen again, ^jwho is even at the right hand of God, who also ^kmaketh intercession for us. ^35lWho shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall ^mtribulation, or ^mdistress, or ^mmpersecution, or famine, or ⁿnakedness, or peril, or sword? ³⁶As it is written, ⁿⁿFor thy sake ^owe are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. ³⁷Nay, in all these things ^pwe are more than conquerors through ^qhim that loved us. ³⁸For I am persuaded, that neither ^ldeath, nor life, nor ^rangels, nor ^sprincipalities, nor ^stpowers, nor things ^uwpresent, nor things ^uto come, ³⁹nor ^xheight, nor ^xdepth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from ^ythe love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
