Romans 8:18-39

18For I considerG3049 that the sufferingsG3804 of thisG3588 presentG3568 timeG2540 1are not worthyG514 to be compared with the 2gloryG1391 that is to be revealedG601 to us. 19For the 3anxiousG603 longingG603 of the creationG2937 waitsG553 eagerlyG553 for 4the revealingG602 of the 5sonsG5207 of GodG2316. 20For the creationG2937 6was subjectedG5293 to 7futilityG3153, not willinglyG1635, but 8becauseG1223 of Him who subjectedG5293 it, 9in hopeG1680 21that 10the 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 11groansG4959 and suffersG4944 the painsG4944 of childbirthG4944 togetherG4959G4944 untilG891 nowG3568. 2312And not onlyG3440 this, but alsoG2532 we ourselvesG846, havingG2192 13the firstG536 fruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 we ourselvesG846 14groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, 15waitingG553 eagerlyG553 for our adoptionG5206 as sonsG5206, 16the redemptionG629 of our bodyG4983. 24For 17in hopeG1680 we have been savedG4982, but 18hopeG1680 that is seenG991 is not hopeG1680; for whoG5100 hopesG1680 for whatG3739 he already seesG991? 25But 19ifG1487 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 20we do not knowG3609 howG5101 to prayG4336 as we shouldG1163, but 21the SpiritG4151 HimselfG846 intercedesG5241 for us with groaningsG4726 tooG215 deepG215 for wordsG215; 27and 22He who searchesG2045 the heartsG2588 knowsG3609 whatG5101 23the mindG5427 of the SpiritG4151 is, becauseG3754 He 24intercedesG1793 for the 25saintsG40 accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316.

28And we knowG3609 that 26GodG2316 causesG4903 27allG3956 thingsG3956 to workG4903 togetherG4903 for goodG18 to thoseG3588 who loveG25 GodG2316, to thoseG3588 who are 28calledG2822 accordingG2596 to His purposeG4286. 29For thoseG3739 whomG3739 He 29foreknewG4267, He alsoG2532 30predestinedG4309 to become 31conformedG4832 to the imageG1504 of His SonG5207, soG1519 that He would be the 32firstbornG4416 amongG1722 manyG4183 brethrenG80; 30and theseG3778 whomG3739 He 33predestinedG4309, He alsoG2532 34calledG2564; and theseG3778 whomG3739 He calledG2564, He alsoG2532 35justifiedG1344; and theseG3778 whomG3739 He justifiedG1344, He alsoG2532 36glorifiedG1392.

3137WhatG5101 thenG3767 shall we sayG3004 to theseG3778 thingsG3778? 38IfG1487 GodG2316 is for us, whoG5101 is againstG2596 us? 32He whoG3739 39did not spareG5339 His ownG2398 SonG5207, but 40deliveredG3860 Him over for us allG3956, howG4459 will He not alsoG2532 with Him freelyG5483 giveG5483 us allG3956 thingsG3956? 33WhoG5101 will bringG1458 a chargeG1458 againstG2596 41God’sG2316 electG1588? 42GodG2316 is the one who justifiesG1344; 34whoG5101 is the one who 43condemnsG2632? ChristG5547 JesusG2424 is He who 44diedG599, yesG1161, ratherG3123 who was 4546raisedG1453, whoG3739 is 47at the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316, whoG3739 alsoG2532 48intercedesG1793 for us. 35WhoG5101 will separateG5563 us from 49the loveG26 of 50ChristG5547? Will 51tribulationG2347, orG2228 distressG4730, orG2228 52persecutionG1375, orG2228 53famineG3042, orG2228 54nakednessG1132, orG2228 55perilG2794, orG2228 swordG3162? 36JustG2531 as it is writtenG1125, “56For 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 57conquerG5245 throughG1223 58Him who lovedG25 us. 38For I am convincedG3982 that neitherG3777 59deathG2288, norG3777 lifeG2222, norG3777 60angelsG32, norG3777 principalitiesG746, norG3777 61thingsG1764 presentG1764, norG3777 thingsG3195 to comeG3195, norG3777 powersG1411, 39norG3777 heightG5313, norG3777 depthG899, norG3777 anyG5100 otherG2087 createdG2937 thingG2937, will be ableG1410 to separateG5563 us from 62the loveG26 of GodG2316, which is 63in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962.
