ULT ROM Chapter 8

◄ ROM 8 ► ║ ═ ©

8 There is therefore now no condemnation at all for the ones in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus set you free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was unable to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, having sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for the sake of sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 so that the righteous deeds of the law might be fulfilled in us, those walking not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 5 For those existing according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those according to the Spirit, on 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 hostility toward God, for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not able to do so. 8 But those existing in the flesh are not able to be pleasing to God. 9 However, you yourselves are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, since indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. But if someone 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 If indeed the Spirit of the one having raised Jesus from dead ones lives in you, the one having raised Christ Jesus from dead ones will also make alive your mortal bodies through his Spirit living 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 going to die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the practices of the body, you will live. 14 For as many as are being led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God. 15 For you did not receive again a spirit of slavery leading to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by which we cry out, “Abba, Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. 17 Now if children, then also heirs: both heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer together with him so that we may also be glorified together with him.

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is going to be revealed to us. 19 For the eager expectation of the creation is eagerly expecting the revelation of the sons of God. 20 For to the futility the creation was subjected, not willingly, but because of the one having subjected it, on the basis of hope 21 that also the creation itself will be freed from the slavery of the decay into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that all the creation groans and labors in pain together until now. 23 Not only that, but also we, having the firstfruits of the Spirit—even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly expecting our adoption, the redemption of our body. 24 For in this hope we were saved. Now hope being seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, with endurance we are eagerly expecting it.

26 Now in the same way, the Spirit also helps in our weakness. For the thing for which we should pray as we ought, we do not know, but the Spirit himself intercedes with inexpressible groans. 27 But the one searching the hearts knows what is the mindset of the Spirit, because he intercedes on behalf of the saints in accordance with God. 28 And we know that for the ones loving God, God works all things together for good,[fn] for the ones being called according to his purpose. 29 Because those whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be a similar form to the image of his Son so that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 Now those whom he predestined, these he also called. And those whom he called, these he also justified. And those whom he justified, these he also glorified.

31 What then will we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who indeed did not spare his own Son, but gave him up on behalf of us all, how will he not also with him freely give us all things? 33 Who will bring an accusation against God’s elect? God is the one justifying. 34 Who is the one condemning? Christ Jesus is the one having died—but more than that, having been raised[fn], who also is at the right hand of God—the one also interceding on our behalf. 35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ?[fn] Tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or hunger, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 Just as it is written,

“For your sake we are being put to death the whole day long.

We were considered as sheep for slaughter.”

37 But in all these things we are more than conquerors through the one having loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor governments, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
