Romans 8:11-39

11But ifG1487 the SpiritG4151 of Him who 1raisedG1453 JesusG2424 from the deadG3498 dwellsG3611 in you, 2He who raisedG1453 3ChristG5547 JesusG2424 from the deadG3498 will alsoG2532 giveG2227 lifeG2227 to your mortalG2349 bodiesG4983 4throughG1223 His SpiritG4151 who dwellsG3611 in you.

12SoG686 thenG686, brethrenG80, we are underG3781 obligationG3781, not to the fleshG4561, to liveG2198 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561-- 13for 5ifG1487 you are livingG2198 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561, you 6mustG3195 dieG599; but ifG1487 by the SpiritG4151 you are 7puttingG2289 to deathG2289 the deedsG4234 of the bodyG4983, you will liveG2198. 14For allG3745 whoG3745 are 8being ledG71 by the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, theseG3778 are 9sonsG5207 of GodG2316. 15For you 10have not receivedG2983 a spiritG4151 of slaveryG1397 11leadingG1519 to fearG5401 againG3825, but you 12have receivedG2983 13a spiritG4151 of adoptionG5206 as sonsG5206 by whichG3739 we cryG2896 out, “14AbbaG5! FatherG3962!” 16The SpiritG4151 HimselfG846 15testifiesG4828 with our spiritG4151 that we are 16childrenG5043 of GodG2316, 17and ifG1487 childrenG5043, 17heirsG2818 alsoG2532, heirsG2818 of GodG2316 and fellowG4789 heirsG4789 with ChristG5547, 18ifG1512 indeedG1512 we sufferG4841 with Him soG2443 that we may alsoG2532 be glorifiedG4888 with Him.

18For I considerG3049 that the sufferingsG3804 of thisG3588 presentG3568 timeG2540 19are not worthyG514 to be compared with the 20gloryG1391 that is to be revealedG601 to us. 19For the 21anxiousG603 longingG603 of the creationG2937 waitsG553 eagerlyG553 for 22the revealingG602 of the 23sonsG5207 of GodG2316. 20For the creationG2937 24was subjectedG5293 to 25futilityG3153, not willinglyG1635, but 26becauseG1223 of Him who subjectedG5293 it, 27in hopeG1680 21that 28the creationG2937 itselfG846 alsoG2532 will be setG1659 freeG1659 from its slaveryG1397 to corruptionG5356 into the freedomG1657 of the gloryG1391 of the childrenG5043 of GodG2316. 22For we knowG3609 that the wholeG3956 creationG2937 29groansG4959 and suffersG4944 the painsG4944 of childbirthG4944 togetherG4959G4944 untilG891 nowG3568. 2330And not onlyG3440 this, but alsoG2532 we ourselvesG846, havingG2192 31the firstG536 fruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 we ourselvesG846 32groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, 33waitingG553 eagerlyG553 for our adoptionG5206 as sonsG5206, 34the redemptionG629 of our bodyG4983. 24For 35in hopeG1680 we have been savedG4982, but 36hopeG1680 that is seenG991 is not hopeG1680; for whoG5100 hopesG1680 for whatG3739 he already seesG991? 25But 37ifG1487 we hopeG1679 for whatG3739 we do not seeG991, with perseveranceG5281 we waitG553 eagerlyG553 for it.

26In the sameG5615 wayG5615 the SpiritG4151 alsoG2532 helpsG4878 our weaknessG769; for 38we do not knowG3609 howG5101 to prayG4336 as we shouldG1163, but 39the SpiritG4151 HimselfG846 intercedesG5241 for us with groaningsG4726 tooG215 deepG215 for wordsG215; 27and 40He who searchesG2045 the heartsG2588 knowsG3609 whatG5101 41the mindG5427 of the SpiritG4151 is, becauseG3754 He 42intercedesG1793 for the 43saintsG40 accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316.

28And we knowG3609 that 44GodG2316 causesG4903 45allG3956 thingsG3956 to workG4903 togetherG4903 for goodG18 to thoseG3588 who loveG25 GodG2316, to thoseG3588 who are 46calledG2822 accordingG2596 to His purposeG4286. 29For thoseG3739 whomG3739 He 47foreknewG4267, He alsoG2532 48predestinedG4309 to become 49conformedG4832 to the imageG1504 of His SonG5207, soG1519 that He would be the 50firstbornG4416 amongG1722 manyG4183 brethrenG80; 30and theseG3778 whomG3739 He 51predestinedG4309, He alsoG2532 52calledG2564; and theseG3778 whomG3739 He calledG2564, He alsoG2532 53justifiedG1344; and theseG3778 whomG3739 He justifiedG1344, He alsoG2532 54glorifiedG1392.

3155WhatG5101 thenG3767 shall we sayG3004 to theseG3778 thingsG3778? 56IfG1487 GodG2316 is for us, whoG5101 is againstG2596 us? 32He whoG3739 57did not spareG5339 His ownG2398 SonG5207, but 58deliveredG3860 Him over for us allG3956, howG4459 will He not alsoG2532 with Him freelyG5483 giveG5483 us allG3956 thingsG3956? 33WhoG5101 will bringG1458 a chargeG1458 againstG2596 59God’sG2316 electG1588? 60GodG2316 is the one who justifiesG1344; 34whoG5101 is the one who 61condemnsG2632? ChristG5547 JesusG2424 is He who 62diedG599, yesG1161, ratherG3123 who was 6364raisedG1453, whoG3739 is 65at the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316, whoG3739 alsoG2532 66intercedesG1793 for us. 35WhoG5101 will separateG5563 us from 67the loveG26 of 68ChristG5547? Will 69tribulationG2347, orG2228 distressG4730, orG2228 70persecutionG1375, orG2228 71famineG3042, orG2228 72nakednessG1132, orG2228 73perilG2794, orG2228 swordG3162? 36JustG2531 as it is writtenG1125, “74For Your sakeG1752 we are being putG2289 to deathG2289 allG3650 dayG2250 long; We were consideredG3049 as sheepG4263 to be slaughteredG4967.” 37But in allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 we overwhelminglyG5245 75conquerG5245 throughG1223 76Him who lovedG25 us. 38For I am convincedG3982 that neitherG3777 77deathG2288, norG3777 lifeG2222, norG3777 78angelsG32, norG3777 principalitiesG746, norG3777 79thingsG1764 presentG1764, norG3777 thingsG3195 to comeG3195, norG3777 powersG1411, 39norG3777 heightG5313, norG3777 depthG899, norG3777 anyG5100 otherG2087 createdG2937 thingG2937, will be ableG1410 to separateG5563 us from 80the loveG26 of GodG2316, which is 81in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962.
