^{1 Ref} There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.

^{2 Ref} For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

^{3 Ref} 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:

^{4 Ref} that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

^{5 Ref} For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

^{6 Ref} For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:

^{7 Ref} because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be:

^{8 Ref} and they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

^{9 Ref} But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

^{10 Ref} And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness.

^{11 Ref} But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

^{12 Ref} So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh:

^{13 Ref} for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

^{14 Ref} For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

^{15 Ref} For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

^{16 Ref} The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:

^{17 Ref} 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 with `him'.

^{18 Ref} For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward.

^{19 Ref} For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God.

^{20 Ref} For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope

^{21 Ref} that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

^{22 Ref} For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

^{23 Ref} And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for `our' adoption, `to wit', the redemption of our body.

^{24 Ref} For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth?

^{25 Ref} But if we hope for that which we see not, `then' do we with patience wait for it.

^{26 Ref} And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for `us' with groanings which cannot be uttered;

^{27 Ref} 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.

^{28 Ref} And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, `even' to them that are called according to `his' purpose.

^{29 Ref} For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained `to be' conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:

^{30 Ref} and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

^{31 Ref} What then shall we say to these things? If God `is' for us, who `is' against us?

^{32 Ref} He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?

^{33 Ref} Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth;

^{34 Ref} who is he that condemneth? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

^{35 Ref} Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

^{36 Ref} Even as it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

^{37 Ref} Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

^{38 Ref} For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

^{39 Ref} 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.

^{1 Ref} There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

^{2 Ref} For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

^{3 Ref} For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;

^{4 Ref} that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

^{5 Ref} 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, the things of the Spirit.

^{6 Ref} For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

^{7 Ref} because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

^{8 Ref} Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

^{9 Ref} But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

^{10 Ref} If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

^{11 Ref} But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

^{12 Ref} So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

^{13 Ref} For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

^{14 Ref} For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.

^{15 Ref} For you didn't receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba{Abba is a Chaldee word for father or daddy, often used affectionately and respectfully in prayer to our Father in heaven.}! Father!"

^{16 Ref} The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;

^{17 Ref} and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

^{18 Ref} For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.

^{19 Ref} For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

^{20 Ref} For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

^{21 Ref} that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

^{22 Ref} For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.

^{23 Ref} Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

^{24 Ref} For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

^{25 Ref} But if we hope for that which we don't see, we wait for it with patience.

^{26 Ref} In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don't know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can't be uttered.

^{27 Ref} He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit's mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.

^{28 Ref} We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.

^{29 Ref} For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."}

^{30 Ref} Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.

^{31 Ref} What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

^{32 Ref} He who didn't spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

^{33 Ref} Who could bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who justifies.

^{34 Ref} Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

^{35 Ref} Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

^{36 Ref} Even as it is written, "For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter."

^{37 Ref} No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

^{38 Ref} For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

^{39 Ref} nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
