Roman’s 8-1-39
NKJV
Free from Indwelling Sin
8 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus,
a -
1-do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2 For
bthe law of
cthe Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from
dthe law of sin and death.
3 For
ewhat the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh,
fGod did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,
4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who
gdo not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5 For
hthose who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit,
ithe things of the Spirit
. 6 For
jto be
2carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because
kthe
3carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God,
lnor indeed can be
. 8 So then, 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. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of
mHim who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,
nHe who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies
4through His Spirit who dwells in you.
Sonship Through the Spirit
12
oTherefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
13 For
pif you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you
qput to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14 For
ras many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
15 For
syou did not receive the spirit of bondage again
tto fear, but you received the
uSpirit of adoption by whom we cry out,
v“Abba,
5Father.”
16
wThe Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
17 and if children, then
xheirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,
yif indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
From Suffering to Glory
18 For I consider that
zthe sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For
athe earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
20 For
bthe creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;
21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of
6corruption into the glorious
cliberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation
dgroans and labors with birth pangs together until now.
23 Not only that, but we also who have
ethe firstfruits of the Spirit,
feven we ourselves groan
gwithin ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the
hredemption of our body.
24 For we were saved in this hope, but
ihope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?
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 weaknesses. For
jwe do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but
kthe Spirit Himself makes intercession
7for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now
lHe who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints
maccording to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those
nwho are the called according to Hispurpose.
29 For whom
oHe foreknew,
pHe also predestined
qto be conformed to the image of His Son,
rthat He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also
scalled; whom He called, these He also
tjustified; and whom He justified, these He also
uglorified.
God’s Everlasting Love
31 What then shall we say to these things?
vIf God is for us, who can beagainst us?
32
wHe who did not spare His own Son, but
xdelivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect?
yIt is God who justifies.
34
zWho is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen,
awho is even at the right hand of God,
bwho also makes 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:
c“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
37
dYet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor
eprincipalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,
39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
A beautiful thing to see
