Romans 8:1-18

1Therefore there is now no 1condemnation for those who are 2in 3Christ Jesus. 2For 4the law of the Spirit of life 5in 6Christ Jesus 7has set you free from the law of sin and of death. 3For 8what the Law could not do, 910weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in 11the likeness of 12sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, 4so that the 13requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who 14do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on 15the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, 16the things of the Spirit. 617For the mind set on the flesh is 18death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, 7because the mind set on the flesh is 19hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, 8and those who are 20in the flesh cannot please God.

9However, you are not 21in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God 22dwells in you. But 23if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. 1024If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is 25alive because of righteousness. 11But if the Spirit of Him who 26raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, 27He who raised 28Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies 29through His Spirit who dwells in you.

12So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh-- 13for 30if you are living according to the flesh, you 31must die; but if by the Spirit you are 32putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14For all who are 33being led by the Spirit of God, these are 34sons of God. 15For you 35have not received a spirit of slavery 36leading to fear again, but you 37have received 38a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “39Abba! Father!” 16The Spirit Himself 40testifies with our spirit that we are 41children of God, 17and if children, 42heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, 43if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

18For I consider that the sufferings of this present time 44are not worthy to be compared with the 45glory that is to be revealed to us.
