AICNT ROM Chapter 8

◄ ROM 8 ► ║ ═ ©

8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus [[who do not walk according to the flesh]][fn] [[but according to the Spirit]].[fn]

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set {you}[fn] free from the law of sin and death.

3 For what was impossible for the law, 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 so that the requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

5 For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

6 For the mindset of the flesh is death, but the mindset of the Spirit is life and peace; 7 because the mindset of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor is it able to; 8 and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this one is not of him.

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

11 And if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ [Jesus][fn] from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his spirit dwelling in you.

12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh; 13 for if you live according to the flesh, you are about to die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you received a spirit of adoption, by which we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

16 The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

19 For the eager expectation of the creation awaits the revelation of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that creation itself will also be set free from the bondage of corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

22 For we know that all creation groans together and suffers birth pains until now; 23 And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the firstfruits of the Spirit, we too groan within ourselves, awaiting adoption, the redemption of our body.

24 For in hope we have been saved; but hope that is seen is not hope; {for who hopes for what he sees}?[fn] 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

26 Likewise, the Spirit also helps in our weakness; for we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes [[for us]][fn] with inexpressible groanings; 27 and the one who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because it intercedes for the saints according to God.

28 And we know that for those who love God, {all things work}[fn] together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he would be the firstborn among many brothers; 30 and those whom he predestined, he also called; and those whom he called, he also justified; and those whom he justified, he also glorified.

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 Indeed, who did not spare his own son, but delivered him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?

33 Who will bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is the one condemning? Christ [Jesus],[fn] the one who died, rather, who was raised, who also is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes on our behalf.

35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written, “For your sake we are being put to death all day long; we were considered as sheep for slaughter.”[fn]

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor rulers, neither present nor future, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
