Romans 8:14-39

14For allG3745 whoG3745 are 1being ledG71 by the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, theseG3778 are 2sonsG5207 of GodG2316. 15For you 3have not receivedG2983 a spiritG4151 of slaveryG1397 4leadingG1519 to fearG5401 againG3825, but you 5have receivedG2983 6a spiritG4151 of adoptionG5206 as sonsG5206 by whichG3739 we cryG2896 out, “7AbbaG5! FatherG3962!” 16The SpiritG4151 HimselfG846 8testifiesG4828 with our spiritG4151 that we are 9childrenG5043 of GodG2316, 17and ifG1487 childrenG5043, 10heirsG2818 alsoG2532, heirsG2818 of GodG2316 and fellowG4789 heirsG4789 with ChristG5547, 11ifG1512 indeedG1512 we sufferG4841 with Him soG2443 that we may alsoG2532 be glorifiedG4888 with Him.

18For I considerG3049 that the sufferingsG3804 of thisG3588 presentG3568 timeG2540 12are not worthyG514 to be compared with the 13gloryG1391 that is to be revealedG601 to us. 19For the 14anxiousG603 longingG603 of the creationG2937 waitsG553 eagerlyG553 for 15the revealingG602 of the 16sonsG5207 of GodG2316. 20For the creationG2937 17was subjectedG5293 to 18futilityG3153, not willinglyG1635, but 19becauseG1223 of Him who subjectedG5293 it, 20in hopeG1680 21that 21the 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 22groansG4959 and suffersG4944 the painsG4944 of childbirthG4944 togetherG4959G4944 untilG891 nowG3568. 2323And not onlyG3440 this, but alsoG2532 we ourselvesG846, havingG2192 24the firstG536 fruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 we ourselvesG846 25groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, 26waitingG553 eagerlyG553 for our adoptionG5206 as sonsG5206, 27the redemptionG629 of our bodyG4983. 24For 28in hopeG1680 we have been savedG4982, but 29hopeG1680 that is seenG991 is not hopeG1680; for whoG5100 hopesG1680 for whatG3739 he already seesG991? 25But 30ifG1487 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 31we do not knowG3609 howG5101 to prayG4336 as we shouldG1163, but 32the SpiritG4151 HimselfG846 intercedesG5241 for us with groaningsG4726 tooG215 deepG215 for wordsG215; 27and 33He who searchesG2045 the heartsG2588 knowsG3609 whatG5101 34the mindG5427 of the SpiritG4151 is, becauseG3754 He 35intercedesG1793 for the 36saintsG40 accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316.

28And we knowG3609 that 37GodG2316 causesG4903 38allG3956 thingsG3956 to workG4903 togetherG4903 for goodG18 to thoseG3588 who loveG25 GodG2316, to thoseG3588 who are 39calledG2822 accordingG2596 to His purposeG4286. 29For thoseG3739 whomG3739 He 40foreknewG4267, He alsoG2532 41predestinedG4309 to become 42conformedG4832 to the imageG1504 of His SonG5207, soG1519 that He would be the 43firstbornG4416 amongG1722 manyG4183 brethrenG80; 30and theseG3778 whomG3739 He 44predestinedG4309, He alsoG2532 45calledG2564; and theseG3778 whomG3739 He calledG2564, He alsoG2532 46justifiedG1344; and theseG3778 whomG3739 He justifiedG1344, He alsoG2532 47glorifiedG1392.

3148WhatG5101 thenG3767 shall we sayG3004 to theseG3778 thingsG3778? 49IfG1487 GodG2316 is for us, whoG5101 is againstG2596 us? 32He whoG3739 50did not spareG5339 His ownG2398 SonG5207, but 51deliveredG3860 Him over for us allG3956, howG4459 will He not alsoG2532 with Him freelyG5483 giveG5483 us allG3956 thingsG3956? 33WhoG5101 will bringG1458 a chargeG1458 againstG2596 52God’sG2316 electG1588? 53GodG2316 is the one who justifiesG1344; 34whoG5101 is the one who 54condemnsG2632? ChristG5547 JesusG2424 is He who 55diedG599, yesG1161, ratherG3123 who was 5657raisedG1453, whoG3739 is 58at the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316, whoG3739 alsoG2532 59intercedesG1793 for us. 35WhoG5101 will separateG5563 us from 60the loveG26 of 61ChristG5547? Will 62tribulationG2347, orG2228 distressG4730, orG2228 63persecutionG1375, orG2228 64famineG3042, orG2228 65nakednessG1132, orG2228 66perilG2794, orG2228 swordG3162? 36JustG2531 as it is writtenG1125, “67For 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 68conquerG5245 throughG1223 69Him who lovedG25 us. 38For I am convincedG3982 that neitherG3777 70deathG2288, norG3777 lifeG2222, norG3777 71angelsG32, norG3777 principalitiesG746, norG3777 72thingsG1764 presentG1764, norG3777 thingsG3195 to comeG3195, norG3777 powersG1411, 39norG3777 heightG5313, norG3777 depthG899, norG3777 anyG5100 otherG2087 createdG2937 thingG2937, will be ableG1410 to separateG5563 us from 73the loveG26 of GodG2316, which is 74in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962.
