| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation--but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died--more than that, who was raised to life--is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. |
