1 Now then there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Iesus, which walke not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
2 For the Lawe of the Spirite of life, which is in Christ Iesus, hath freed mee from the lawe of sinne and of death. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
3 For (that that was impossible to ye Lawe, in as much as it was weake, because of ye flesh) God sending his owne Sonne, in ye similitude of sinful flesh, & for sinne, condened sinne in the flesh, 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, For 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 That that righteousnes of the Law might be fulfilled in vs, which walke not after ye flesh, but after the Spirit. 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 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 For they that are after the flesh, sauour the things of the flesh: but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 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. Those 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 For the wisedome of the flesh is death: but the wisedome of the Spirit is life and peace, For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
7 Because the wisedome of the flesh is enimitie against God: for it is not subiect to the Lawe of God, neither in deede can be. 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. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.
8 So then they that are in the flesh, can not please God. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
9 Now ye are not in the flesh, but in ye Spirit, because ye spirit of God dwelleth in you: but if any man hath not ye Spirit of Christ, ye same is not his. 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 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 And if Christ bee in you, the body is dead, because of sinne: but the Spirite is life for righteousnesse sake. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But 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 But if the Spirit of him that raised vp Iesus from the dead, dwell in you, he that raised vp Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortall bodies, by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 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 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 Therefore brethren, wee are detters not to the flesh, to liue after the flesh: So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.
13 For if ye liue after the flesh, ye shall die: but if yee mortifie the deedes of the body by the Spirit, ye shall liue. 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 will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.
14 For as many as are ledde by the Spirit of God, they are the sonnes of God. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.
15 For ye haue not receiued the Spirit of bodage, to feare againe: but ye haue receiued the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, Father. 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!” The 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 The same Spirit beareth witnesse with our spirit, that we are the children of God. The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
17 If we be children, we are also heires, euen the heires of God, and heires annexed with Christ: if so be that we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him. 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. Now 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 For I count that the afflictions of this present time are not worthy of the glory, which shalbe shewed vnto vs. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
19 For the feruent desire of the creature waiteth when the sonnes of God shalbe reueiled, For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
20 Because the creature is subiect to vanitie, not of it owne will, but by reason of him, which hath subdued it vnder hope, For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope
21 Because the creature also shall be deliuered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious libertie of the sonnes of God. 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 be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.
22 For we knowe that euery creature groneth with vs also, and trauaileth in paine together vnto this present. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
23 And not onely the creature, but we also which haue the first fruites of the Spirit, euen we doe sigh in our selues, waiting for the adoption, euen the redemption of our body. 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. Not 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 For we are saued by hope: but hope that is seene, is not hope: for how can a man hope for that which he seeth? For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, we doe with patience abide for it. 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 yet have, we wait for it patiently.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we knowe not what to pray as wee ought: but the Spirit it selfe maketh request for vs with sighs, which cannot be expressed. 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 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 But he that searcheth the heartes, knoweth what is the meaning of the Spirit: for he maketh request for ye Saints, according to the wil of God. 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 our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
28 Also we knowe that all thinges worke together for the best vnto them that loue God, euen to them that are called of his purpose. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. And 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 For those which hee knewe before, he also predestinate to bee made like to the image of his Sonne, that hee might be the first borne among many brethren. 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 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 Moreouer whom he predestinate, them also he called, & whom he called, them also he iustified, & whom he iustified, them he also glorified. 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; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
31 What shall we then say to these thinges? If God be on our side, who can be against vs? What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 Who spared not his owne Sonne, but gaue him for vs all to death, how shall he not with him giue vs all things also? 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 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 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods chosen? it is God that iustifieth, Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.
34 Who shall condemne? it is Christ which is dead, yea, or rather, which is risen againe, who is also at the right hand of God, and maketh request also for vs. 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 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 Who shall separate vs from the loue of Christ? shall tribulation or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakednesse, or perill, or sworde? Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake are we killed all day long: we are counted as sheepe for the slaughter. 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: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37 Neuerthelesse, in all these thinges we are more then coquerours through him that loued vs. No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
38 For I am perswaded that neither death, nor life, nor Angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 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 convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shalbe able to separate vs from the loue of God, which is in Christ Iesus our Lord. 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. neither 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.
