1	There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.	Therefore, no condemnation now exists for those in Christ Jesus,	There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.	Therefore there is now no condemnation at all for those who are in Christ Jesus.
2	For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.	because the Spirit’s law of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.	For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.	For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.
3	For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,	What the law could not do since it was limited by the flesh, God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending His own Son in flesh like ours under sin’s domain, and as a sin offering,	For what the law could not do, 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:	For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,
4	in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.	in order that the law’s requirement would be accomplished in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.	That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.	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 live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.	For those who live according to the flesh think about the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, about the things of the Spirit.	For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.	For those who are in accord with the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are in accord with the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
6	For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.	For the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set of the Spirit is life and peace.	For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.	For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,
7	For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot.	For the mind-set of the flesh is hostile to God because it does not submit itself to God’s law, for it is unable to do so.	Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.	because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so,
8	Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.	Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.	So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.	and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9	You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.	You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God lives in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.	But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.	However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.
10	But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness.	Now if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.	And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.	If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
11	If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.	And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through His Spirit who lives in you.	But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.	But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
12	So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.	So then, brothers, we are not obligated to the flesh to live according to the flesh,	Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.	So then, brothers and sisters, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh—
13	For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.	for if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.	For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.	for if you are living in accord with the flesh, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14	For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.	All those led by God’s Spirit are God’s sons.	For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.	For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons and daughters of God.
15	For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”	For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!”	For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.	For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons and daughters by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!”
16	The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,	The Spirit Himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God’s children,	The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:	The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,
17	and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.	and if children, also heirs—heirs of God and coheirs with Christ—seeing that we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.	And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.	and if children, heirs also, 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 worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.	For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is going to be revealed to us.	For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.	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 creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.	For the creation eagerly waits with anticipation for God’s sons to be revealed.	For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.	For the eagerly awaiting creation waits for the revealing of the sons and daughters of God.
20	For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope	For the creation was subjected to futility—not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it—in the hope	For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,	For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope
21	that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.	that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage of corruption into the glorious freedom of God’s children.	Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.	that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
22	For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.	For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together with labor pains until now.	For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.	For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.
23	And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.	And not only that, but we ourselves who have the Spirit as the firstfruits—we also groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for adoption, the redemption of our bodies.	And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.	And not only that, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons and daughters, the redemption of our body.
24	For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?	Now in this hope we were saved, yet hope that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees?	For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?	For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees?
25	But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.	But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with patience.	But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.	But if we hope for what we do not see, through perseverance we wait eagerly for it.
26	Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.	In the same way the Spirit also joins to help in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with unspoken groanings.	Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.	Now in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;
27	And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.	And He who searches the hearts knows the Spirit’s mind-set, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.	And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.	and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
28	And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.	We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.	And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.	And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to 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, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.	For those He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.	For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.	For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters;
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.	And those He predestined, He also called; and those He called, He also justified; and those He justified, He also glorified.	Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.	and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these 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?	What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?	What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?	What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
32	He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?	He did not even spare His own Son but offered Him up for us all; how will He not also with Him grant us everything?	He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?	He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?
33	Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.	Who can bring an accusation against God’s elect? God is the One who justifies.	Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.	Who will bring charges against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies;
34	Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.	Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is the One who died, but even more, has been raised; He also is at the right hand of God and intercedes for us.	Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.	who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, but rather, was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
35	Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?	Who can separate us from the love of Christ? Can affliction or anguish or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?	Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?	Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or trouble, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
36	As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”	As it is written: Because of You we are being put to death all day long; we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.	As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.	Just as it is written: “FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE KILLED ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE REGARDED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED.”
37	No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.	No, in all these things we are more than victorious through Him who loved us.	Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.	But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.
38	For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,	For I am persuaded that not even death or life, angels or rulers, things present or things to come, hostile powers,	For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,	For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39	nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.	height or depth, or any other created thing will have the power to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!	Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.	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.
