	MACE Mace New Testament	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	Sentence of death therefore shall not pass upon those christians who do not lead a vicious life.	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 christian dispensation of a spiritual life has set me free from the legal state of sin and 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	God having sent his own son invested with a body like that of sinful men, as a sacrifice for sin, thereby destroyed its power; which the law could not effect, human nature being in such a corrupted state.	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	so that the moral obligations of the law might be fulfilled by us, in living according to the spiritual, and not the carnal tenor thereof:	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 sensually affected, abandon themselves to sensuality, but the spiritual pursue their spiritual entertainments.	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	now sensual inclinations lead to death; but spiritual affections to a life of tranquillity.	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 a sensual disposition of mind is averse to God: for it is not subject to the divine law, nor indeed can it 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 that they who are in a carnal state, cannot be acceptable to the divine being, as for you,	Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.	Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
9	you are not in such a state, but in a spiritual one, provided the divine spirit dwell in you, now if any man have not the spirit of Christ, he is none of 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 be in you, tho' the body is mortal in consequence of sin; the spirit gives life by justification.	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	for if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwell in you; he that raised up Christ from the dead, shall likewise restore your mortal bodies to life, 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	You are, therefore, brethren oblig'd to oppose your sensual passions;	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 you lead a sensual life, you will be miserable: but if through the spirit you mortify the affections of corrupted nature, you will be happy.	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	as many as are actuated by the spirit of God, they are the sons 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 the spirit you have received is not servile to keep you still in fear; but it is the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, that is, 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 testifies to 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	and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; although we now 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 consider, that the sufferings of this present life are infinitely over-ballanc'd by that glory which shall hereafter be discovered to us.	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	mankind impatiently desire that the divine being would display himself to his creatures,	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	who were not, by their own choice, expos'd to this uncertain state, but by virtue of him, who subjected them thereto:	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	and therefore hope to be removed from this slavish condition of mortality to the free inheritance of divine glory.	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 know that the whole creation groans, and labours with general pain even to this day.	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 only they, but even those who have the first fruits of the spirit, even we our selves do inwardly groan for the fruit of our adoption, by the deliverance of our body from corruption.	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 saved but by hope: but hope supposes things not yet present; for how can a man hope for what he has now in possession?	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 what is yet to come, our patience does necessarily intervene.	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	The spirit likewise softens our afflictions: for being at a loss to apply for the most proper relief; the spirit it self affects us with those pious ejaculations, which we can't well express.	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	and he that penetrates into the heart approves what the spirit desires, because what he demands for the saints is agreeable to the divine will.	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	We know too, that all things co-operate for the good of those who love God, who, pursuant to his purpose, has now called them:	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 whom he before approv'd, he predispos'd to follow the example of his son, who was to conduct them all as their elder brother;	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	but whom he predispos'd, he calls: and whom he has call'd, he justifies: and whom he has justified, he glorifies.	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 conclude then from this? if God be for us, who can be against us?	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	he that spared not his own son, but delivered him up for us all, will he not with him likewise freely give us all things?	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 plead against God's elect? shall God who justifieth them?	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 condemn them? shall Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, and makes intercession for us?	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	what shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or penury, or peril, or sword?	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	for as it is written, "for thy sake we are sacrificed every day; we are counted as sheep 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	yet after all we are more than conquerors, through him that loved us.	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 fully persuaded, 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	neither the high, nor the low, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God by Christ Jesus 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.
