Romans 8:18-39

18For I considerG3049 that the sufferingsG3804 of thisG3588 presentG3568 timeG2540 1are not worthyG514 to be comparedG4314 withG4314 the 2gloryG1391 that is to be revealedG601 to us. 19For the 3eagerlyG603 awaitingG603 creationG2937 waitsG553 for 4the revealingG602 of the 5sonsG5207 and daughters 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 theG4944 painsG4944 ofG4944 childbirthG4944 togetherG4959G4944 untilG891 nowG3568. 2312And not onlyG3440 that, but alsoG2532 we ourselvesG846, havingG2192 13the firstG536 fruitsG536 of the SpiritG4151, evenG2532 we ourselvesG846 14groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, 15waitingG553 eagerlyG553 for our adoptionG5206 asG5206 sonsG5206 and daughters, 16the redemptionG629 of our bodyG4983. 24For 17in hopeG1680 we have been savedG4982, but 18hopeG1680 that is seenG991 is not hopeG1680; for whoG5101 hopesG1680 for whatG3739 he already seesG991? 25But 19ifG1487 we hopeG1679 for whatG3739 we do not seeG991, throughG1223 perseveranceG5281 we waitG553 eagerlyG553 for it.

26NowG1161 in the sameG5615 wayG5615 the SpiritG4151 alsoG2532 helpsG4878 our weaknessG769; for 20we do not knowG3609 whatG5101 to prayG4336 for as we shouldG1163, but 21the SpiritG4151 HimselfG846 intercedesG5241 for us with 22groaningsG4726 tooG215 deepG215 forG215 wordsG215; 27and 23He who searchesG2038 the heartsG2588 knowsG3609 whatG5101 24the mindG5427 of the SpiritG4151 is, becauseG3754 He 25intercedesG1793 for the 26saintsG40 accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316.

28And we knowG3609 that 27GodG2316 28causesG4903 29allG3956 thingsG3956 toG4903 workG4903 togetherG4903 for goodG18 to thoseG3588 who loveG25 GodG2316, to thoseG3588 who are 30calledG2822 accordingG2596 to His purposeG4286. 29For thoseG3739 whomG3739 He 31foreknewG4267, He alsoG2532 32predestinedG4309 to become 33conformedG4832 to the imageG1504 of His SonG5207, soG1519 thatG1519 He would be the 34firstbornG4416 amongG1722 manyG4183 brothersG80 and sisters; 30and theseG3778 whomG3739 He 35predestinedG4309, He alsoG2532 36calledG2564; and theseG3778 whomG3739 He calledG2564, He alsoG2532 37justifiedG1344; and theseG3778 whomG3739 He justifiedG1344, He alsoG2532 38glorifiedG1392.

3139WhatG5101 thenG3767 shall we sayG3004 to theseG3778 thingsG3778? 40IfG1487 GodG2316 is for us, whoG5101 is againstG2596 us? 32He whoG3739 41did not spareG5339 His ownG2398 SonG5207, but 42deliveredG3860 Him overG3860 for us allG3956, howG4459 will He not alsoG2532 with Him freelyG5483 giveG5483 us allG3956 thingsG3956? 33WhoG5101 will bringG1458 chargesG1458 againstG2596 43God’sG2316 electG1588? 44GodG2316 is the one who justifiesG1344; 34whoG5101 is the one who 45condemnsG2632? ChristG5547 JesusG2424 is He who 46diedG599, but ratherG3123, was 4748raisedG1453, whoG3739 is 49at the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316, whoG3739 alsoG2532 50intercedesG1793 for us. 35WhoG5101 will separateG5563 us from 51the loveG26 of 52ChristG5547? Will 53tribulationG2347, orG2228 troubleG4730, orG2228 54persecutionG1375, orG2228 55famineG3042, orG2228 56nakednessG1132, orG2228 57dangerG2794, orG2228 swordG3162? 36JustG2531 asG2531 it is writtenG1125: “58For Your sakeG1752 we are killedG2289 allG3650 dayG2250 long; We were regardedG3049 as sheepG4263 to be slaughteredG4967.” 37But in allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 we overwhelminglyG5245 59conquerG5245 throughG1223 60Him who lovedG25 us. 38For I am convincedG3982 that neitherG3777 61deathG2288, norG3777 lifeG2222, norG3777 62angelsG32, norG3777 principalitiesG746, norG3777 63thingsG1764 presentG1764, norG3777 thingsG3195 toG3195 comeG3195, norG3777 powersG1411, 39norG3777 heightG5313, norG3777 depthG899, norG3777 anyG5100 otherG2087 createdG2937 thingG2937 will be ableG1410 to separateG5563 us from 64the loveG26 of GodG2316 that is 65in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962.
