Romans 8:5-39

5For thoseG3588 who are accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561 setG5426 their mindsG5426 on 1the things of the fleshG4561, but thoseG3588 who are accordingG2596 to the SpiritG4151, 2the things of the SpiritG4151. 63For the mindG5427 setG5427 on the fleshG4561 is 4deathG2288, but the mindG5427 setG5427 on the SpiritG4151 is lifeG2222 and peaceG1515, 7becauseG1360 the mindG5427 setG5427 on the fleshG4561 is 5hostileG2189 towardG1519 GodG2316; for it does not subjectG5293 itself to the lawG3551 of GodG2316, for it is not evenG3761 ableG1410 to do so, 8and thoseG3588 who are 6in the fleshG4561 cannotG1410G3756 pleaseG700 GodG2316.

9HoweverG1161, you are not 7in the fleshG4561 but in the SpiritG4151, ifG1512 indeedG1512 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 8dwellsG3611 in you. But 9ifG1487 anyoneG5100 does not haveG2192 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547, he does not belongG1510 to Him. 1010IfG1487 ChristG5547 is in you, thoughG3303 the bodyG4983 is deadG3498 becauseG1223 of sinG266, yetG1161 the spiritG4151 is 11aliveG2222 becauseG1223 of righteousnessG1343. 11But ifG1487 the SpiritG4151 of Him who 12raisedG1453 JesusG2424 from the deadG3498 dwellsG3611 in you, 13He who raisedG1453 14ChristG5547 JesusG2424 from the deadG3498 will alsoG2532 giveG2227 lifeG2227 to your mortalG2349 bodiesG4983 15throughG1223 His SpiritG4151 who dwellsG3611 in you.

12SoG686 thenG686, brethrenG80, we are underG3781 obligationG3781, not to the fleshG4561, to liveG2198 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561-- 13for 16ifG1487 you are livingG2198 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561, you 17mustG3195 dieG599; but ifG1487 by the SpiritG4151 you are 18puttingG2289 to deathG2289 the deedsG4234 of the bodyG4983, you will liveG2198. 14For allG3745 whoG3745 are 19being ledG71 by the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, theseG3778 are 20sonsG5207 of GodG2316. 15For you 21have not receivedG2983 a spiritG4151 of slaveryG1397 22leadingG1519 to fearG5401 againG3825, but you 23have receivedG2983 24a spiritG4151 of adoptionG5206 as sonsG5206 by whichG3739 we cryG2896 out, “25AbbaG5! FatherG3962!” 16The SpiritG4151 HimselfG846 26testifiesG4828 with our spiritG4151 that we are 27childrenG5043 of GodG2316, 17and ifG1487 childrenG5043, 28heirsG2818 alsoG2532, heirsG2818 of GodG2316 and fellowG4789 heirsG4789 with ChristG5547, 29ifG1512 indeedG1512 we sufferG4841 with Him soG2443 that we may alsoG2532 be glorifiedG4888 with Him.

18For I considerG3049 that the sufferingsG3804 of thisG3588 presentG3568 timeG2540 30are not worthyG514 to be compared with the 31gloryG1391 that is to be revealedG601 to us. 19For the 32anxiousG603 longingG603 of the creationG2937 waitsG553 eagerlyG553 for 33the revealingG602 of the 34sonsG5207 of GodG2316. 20For the creationG2937 35was subjectedG5293 to 36futilityG3153, not willinglyG1635, but 37becauseG1223 of Him who subjectedG5293 it, 38in hopeG1680 21that 39the 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 40groansG4959 and suffersG4944 the painsG4944 of childbirthG4944 togetherG4959G4944 untilG891 nowG3568. 2341And not onlyG3440 this, but alsoG2532 we ourselvesG846, havingG2192 42the firstG536 fruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 we ourselvesG846 43groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, 44waitingG553 eagerlyG553 for our adoptionG5206 as sonsG5206, 45the redemptionG629 of our bodyG4983. 24For 46in hopeG1680 we have been savedG4982, but 47hopeG1680 that is seenG991 is not hopeG1680; for whoG5100 hopesG1680 for whatG3739 he already seesG991? 25But 48ifG1487 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 49we do not knowG3609 howG5101 to prayG4336 as we shouldG1163, but 50the SpiritG4151 HimselfG846 intercedesG5241 for us with groaningsG4726 tooG215 deepG215 for wordsG215; 27and 51He who searchesG2045 the heartsG2588 knowsG3609 whatG5101 52the mindG5427 of the SpiritG4151 is, becauseG3754 He 53intercedesG1793 for the 54saintsG40 accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316.

28And we knowG3609 that 55GodG2316 causesG4903 56allG3956 thingsG3956 to workG4903 togetherG4903 for goodG18 to thoseG3588 who loveG25 GodG2316, to thoseG3588 who are 57calledG2822 accordingG2596 to His purposeG4286. 29For thoseG3739 whomG3739 He 58foreknewG4267, He alsoG2532 59predestinedG4309 to become 60conformedG4832 to the imageG1504 of His SonG5207, soG1519 that He would be the 61firstbornG4416 amongG1722 manyG4183 brethrenG80; 30and theseG3778 whomG3739 He 62predestinedG4309, He alsoG2532 63calledG2564; and theseG3778 whomG3739 He calledG2564, He alsoG2532 64justifiedG1344; and theseG3778 whomG3739 He justifiedG1344, He alsoG2532 65glorifiedG1392.

3166WhatG5101 thenG3767 shall we sayG3004 to theseG3778 thingsG3778? 67IfG1487 GodG2316 is for us, whoG5101 is againstG2596 us? 32He whoG3739 68did not spareG5339 His ownG2398 SonG5207, but 69deliveredG3860 Him over for us allG3956, howG4459 will He not alsoG2532 with Him freelyG5483 giveG5483 us allG3956 thingsG3956? 33WhoG5101 will bringG1458 a chargeG1458 againstG2596 70God’sG2316 electG1588? 71GodG2316 is the one who justifiesG1344; 34whoG5101 is the one who 72condemnsG2632? ChristG5547 JesusG2424 is He who 73diedG599, yesG1161, ratherG3123 who was 7475raisedG1453, whoG3739 is 76at the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316, whoG3739 alsoG2532 77intercedesG1793 for us. 35WhoG5101 will separateG5563 us from 78the loveG26 of 79ChristG5547? Will 80tribulationG2347, orG2228 distressG4730, orG2228 81persecutionG1375, orG2228 82famineG3042, orG2228 83nakednessG1132, orG2228 84perilG2794, orG2228 swordG3162? 36JustG2531 as it is writtenG1125, “85For 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 86conquerG5245 throughG1223 87Him who lovedG25 us. 38For I am convincedG3982 that neitherG3777 88deathG2288, norG3777 lifeG2222, norG3777 89angelsG32, norG3777 principalitiesG746, norG3777 90thingsG1764 presentG1764, norG3777 thingsG3195 to comeG3195, norG3777 powersG1411, 39norG3777 heightG5313, norG3777 depthG899, norG3777 anyG5100 otherG2087 createdG2937 thingG2937, will be ableG1410 to separateG5563 us from 91the loveG26 of GodG2316, which is 92in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962.
