Romans 8:1-21 ▼

1 Therefore now no condemnation to them in Christ Jesus, walking not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus freed me from the law of sin and death.

3 For the impossibility of the law, in that it was weak by the flesh, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of the flesh of sin, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

4 That the justification of the law be filled up in us, not walking according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

5 For they being according to the flesh mind things of the flesh; and they according to the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

6 For the thought of the flesh, death; and the thought of the Spirit, life and peace.

7 Wherefore the thought of the flesh enmity to God: for it is not subject to the law of God, for it cannot be.

8 And they being in the flesh cannot please God.

9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwell in you. And if any have not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

10 And if Christ in you, truly the body dead by sin; and the Spirit life by justice.

11 And if the Spirit of him having raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he having raised up Christ from the dead will make alive also your mortal bodies by his Spirit dwelling in you.

12 Therefore, brethren, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

13 For if ye live according to the flesh, ye shall die: and if by the Spirit ye kill the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.

15 For ye have not received the Spirit of servitude again for fear; but have received the Spirit of adoption as a son, in which we cry, Abba, Father.

16 The Spirit itself testifies with our spirit, that we are children of God:

17 And if children, also heirs; truly heirs of God, and coheirs of Christ; if indeed we suffer together, that we may be also glorified together.

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of the time now not worthy of the glory about to be revealed in us.

19 For the anxious expectation of the creation awaits the revelation of the sons of God.

20 For the creation was subject to vanity, not voluntarily, but by him having subjected in hope,

21 That also the creation itself be freed from servitude of corruption to the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
