Romans 8:9-39

9HoweverG1161, you are not 1in the fleshG4561 but in the SpiritG4151, ifG1512 indeedG1512 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 2dwellsG3611 in you. But 3ifG1487 anyoneG5100 does not haveG2192 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547, he does not belongG1510 to Him. 104IfG1487 ChristG5547 is in you, thoughG3303 the bodyG4983 is deadG3498 becauseG1223 of sinG266, yetG1161 the spiritG4151 is 5aliveG2222 becauseG1223 of righteousnessG1343. 11But ifG1487 the SpiritG4151 of Him who 6raisedG1453 JesusG2424 from the deadG3498 dwellsG3611 in you, 7He who raisedG1453 8ChristG5547 JesusG2424 from the deadG3498 will alsoG2532 giveG2227 lifeG2227 to your mortalG2349 bodiesG4983 9throughG1223 His SpiritG4151 who dwellsG3611 in you.

12SoG686 thenG686, brethrenG80, we are underG3781 obligationG3781, not to the fleshG4561, to liveG2198 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561-- 13for 10ifG1487 you are livingG2198 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561, you 11mustG3195 dieG599; but ifG1487 by the SpiritG4151 you are 12puttingG2289 to deathG2289 the deedsG4234 of the bodyG4983, you will liveG2198. 14For allG3745 whoG3745 are 13being ledG71 by the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, theseG3778 are 14sonsG5207 of GodG2316. 15For you 15have not receivedG2983 a spiritG4151 of slaveryG1397 16leadingG1519 to fearG5401 againG3825, but you 17have receivedG2983 18a spiritG4151 of adoptionG5206 as sonsG5206 by whichG3739 we cryG2896 out, “19AbbaG5! FatherG3962!” 16The SpiritG4151 HimselfG846 20testifiesG4828 with our spiritG4151 that we are 21childrenG5043 of GodG2316, 17and ifG1487 childrenG5043, 22heirsG2818 alsoG2532, heirsG2818 of GodG2316 and fellowG4789 heirsG4789 with ChristG5547, 23ifG1512 indeedG1512 we sufferG4841 with Him soG2443 that we may alsoG2532 be glorifiedG4888 with Him.

18For I considerG3049 that the sufferingsG3804 of thisG3588 presentG3568 timeG2540 24are not worthyG514 to be compared with the 25gloryG1391 that is to be revealedG601 to us. 19For the 26anxiousG603 longingG603 of the creationG2937 waitsG553 eagerlyG553 for 27the revealingG602 of the 28sonsG5207 of GodG2316. 20For the creationG2937 29was subjectedG5293 to 30futilityG3153, not willinglyG1635, but 31becauseG1223 of Him who subjectedG5293 it, 32in hopeG1680 21that 33the 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 34groansG4959 and suffersG4944 the painsG4944 of childbirthG4944 togetherG4959G4944 untilG891 nowG3568. 2335And not onlyG3440 this, but alsoG2532 we ourselvesG846, havingG2192 36the firstG536 fruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 we ourselvesG846 37groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, 38waitingG553 eagerlyG553 for our adoptionG5206 as sonsG5206, 39the redemptionG629 of our bodyG4983. 24For 40in hopeG1680 we have been savedG4982, but 41hopeG1680 that is seenG991 is not hopeG1680; for whoG5100 hopesG1680 for whatG3739 he already seesG991? 25But 42ifG1487 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 43we do not knowG3609 howG5101 to prayG4336 as we shouldG1163, but 44the SpiritG4151 HimselfG846 intercedesG5241 for us with groaningsG4726 tooG215 deepG215 for wordsG215; 27and 45He who searchesG2045 the heartsG2588 knowsG3609 whatG5101 46the mindG5427 of the SpiritG4151 is, becauseG3754 He 47intercedesG1793 for the 48saintsG40 accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316.

28And we knowG3609 that 49GodG2316 causesG4903 50allG3956 thingsG3956 to workG4903 togetherG4903 for goodG18 to thoseG3588 who loveG25 GodG2316, to thoseG3588 who are 51calledG2822 accordingG2596 to His purposeG4286. 29For thoseG3739 whomG3739 He 52foreknewG4267, He alsoG2532 53predestinedG4309 to become 54conformedG4832 to the imageG1504 of His SonG5207, soG1519 that He would be the 55firstbornG4416 amongG1722 manyG4183 brethrenG80; 30and theseG3778 whomG3739 He 56predestinedG4309, He alsoG2532 57calledG2564; and theseG3778 whomG3739 He calledG2564, He alsoG2532 58justifiedG1344; and theseG3778 whomG3739 He justifiedG1344, He alsoG2532 59glorifiedG1392.

3160WhatG5101 thenG3767 shall we sayG3004 to theseG3778 thingsG3778? 61IfG1487 GodG2316 is for us, whoG5101 is againstG2596 us? 32He whoG3739 62did not spareG5339 His ownG2398 SonG5207, but 63deliveredG3860 Him over for us allG3956, howG4459 will He not alsoG2532 with Him freelyG5483 giveG5483 us allG3956 thingsG3956? 33WhoG5101 will bringG1458 a chargeG1458 againstG2596 64God’sG2316 electG1588? 65GodG2316 is the one who justifiesG1344; 34whoG5101 is the one who 66condemnsG2632? ChristG5547 JesusG2424 is He who 67diedG599, yesG1161, ratherG3123 who was 6869raisedG1453, whoG3739 is 70at the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316, whoG3739 alsoG2532 71intercedesG1793 for us. 35WhoG5101 will separateG5563 us from 72the loveG26 of 73ChristG5547? Will 74tribulationG2347, orG2228 distressG4730, orG2228 75persecutionG1375, orG2228 76famineG3042, orG2228 77nakednessG1132, orG2228 78perilG2794, orG2228 swordG3162? 36JustG2531 as it is writtenG1125, “79For 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 80conquerG5245 throughG1223 81Him who lovedG25 us. 38For I am convincedG3982 that neitherG3777 82deathG2288, norG3777 lifeG2222, norG3777 83angelsG32, norG3777 principalitiesG746, norG3777 84thingsG1764 presentG1764, norG3777 thingsG3195 to comeG3195, norG3777 powersG1411, 39norG3777 heightG5313, norG3777 depthG899, norG3777 anyG5100 otherG2087 createdG2937 thingG2937, will be ableG1410 to separateG5563 us from 85the loveG26 of GodG2316, which is 86in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962.
