Romans 8:1-28

1ThereG1722 is thereforeG686 nowG3568 noG3762 condemnationG2631 toG1722 themG1722 thatG1722 are inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.

2ForG1063 theG3588 lawG3551 ofG4151 theG3588 SpiritG4151 ofG4151 lifeG2222 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 made me freeG1659 fromG575 theG3588 lawG3551 ofG4151 sinG266 andG2532 ofG4151 deathG2288.

3ForG1063 whatG3739 theG3588 lawG3551 couldG102 notG3739 doG2532, inG1722 thatG3739 itG1223 was weakG770 throughG1223 theG3588 fleshG4561, GodG2316, sendingG3992 hisG4012 ownG1438 SonG5207 inG1722 theG3588 likenessG3667 ofG5207 sinfulG266 fleshG4561 andG2532 asG1722 anG2532 offering forG1063 sinG266, condemnedG2632 sinG266 inG1722 theG3588 fleshG4561:

4thatG2443 theG3588 ordinanceG1345 ofG4151 theG3588 lawG3551 mightG1473 beG3361 fulfilledG4137 inG1722 usG1722, whoG3588 walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 theG3588 fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 theG3588 spiritG4151.

5ForG1063 theyG1161 thatG1161 areG1510 afterG2596 theG3588 fleshG4561 doG1510 mindG5426 theG3588 thingsG3588 ofG4151 theG3588 fleshG4561; butG1161 theyG1161 thatG1161 areG1510 afterG2596 theG3588 spiritG4151 theG3588 thingsG3588 ofG4151 theG3588 spiritG4151.

6ForG1063 theG3588 mindG5427 ofG4151 theG3588 fleshG4561 is deathG2288; butG1161 theG3588 mindG5427 ofG4151 theG3588 spiritG4151 is lifeG2222 andG2532 peaceG1515:

7becauseG1063 theG3588 mindG5427 ofG2316 theG3588 fleshG4561 is enmity againstG1519 GodG2316; forG1063 itG1519 is notG3756 subjectG5293 toG1519 theG3588 lawG3551 ofG2316 GodG2316, neitherG3756 indeedG1063 canG1410 itG1519 beG2316:

8andG1161 theyG1161 thatG2316 areG1510 inG1722 theG3588 fleshG4561 cannotG3756 pleaseG700 GodG2316.

9ButG1161 ye areG1510 notG3756 inG1722 theG2192 fleshG4561, butG1161 inG1722 theG2192 spiritG4151, ifG1487 soG1161 beG1510 thatG3778 theG2192 SpiritG4151 ofG4151 GodG2316 dwelleth inG1722 youG5210. ButG1161 ifG1487 anyG5100 manG3778 hath notG3756 theG2192 SpiritG4151 ofG4151 ChristG5547, heG846 isG1510 noneG3756 ofG4151 hisG846.

10AndG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 is inG1722 youG5210, theG3588 bodyG4983 is deadG3498 becauseG1223 ofG4151 sinG266; butG1161 theG3588 spiritG4151 is lifeG2222 becauseG1223 ofG4151 righteousnessG1343.

11ButG1161 ifG1487 theG3588 SpiritG4151 ofG1537 himG846 thatG846 raisedG1453 upG1453 JesusG2424 fromG1537 theG3588 deadG3498 dwelleth inG1722 youG5210, heG2532 thatG846 raisedG1453 upG1453 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 fromG1537 theG3588 deadG3498 shallG2532 quicken alsoG2532 yourG1487 mortalG2349 bodiesG4983 throughG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151 thatG846 dwelleth inG1722 youG5210.

12SoG3767 thenG3767, brethrenG80, weG1510 areG1510 debtorsG3781, notG3756 toG2596 theG3588 fleshG4561, toG2596 liveG2198 afterG2596 theG3588 fleshG4561:

13forG1063 ifG1487 ye liveG2198 afterG2596 theG3588 fleshG4561, ye must dieG599; butG1161 ifG1487 byG2596 theG3588 spiritG4151 ye mortify theG3588 deedsG4234 ofG4151 theG3588 bodyG4983, ye shall liveG2198.

14ForG1063 asG3745 manyG3745 asG3745 areG1510 ledG71 byG4151 theG1510 SpiritG4151 ofG5207 GodG2316, theseG3778 areG1510 sonsG5207 ofG5207 GodG2316.

15ForG1063 ye receivedG2983 notG3756 theG3588 spiritG4151 ofG4151 bondage againG3825 unto fearG5401; butG235 ye receivedG2983 theG3588 spiritG4151 ofG4151 adoptionG5206, whereby weG3739 cryG2896, AbbaG5, FatherG3962.

16TheG3588 SpiritG4151 himselfG846 beareth witnessG4828 withG2316 ourG2316 spiritG4151, thatG3754 weG2249 areG1510 childrenG5043 ofG4151 GodG2316:

17andG2532 ifG1487 childrenG5043, thenG2532 heirsG2818; heirsG2818 ofG2316 GodG2316, andG2532 joint-heirs withG2316 ChristG5547; ifG1487 soG2443 beG2532 thatG2443 weG1487 sufferG4841 withG2316 himG2532, thatG2443 weG1487 mayG2532 beG2532 alsoG2532 glorifiedG4888 withG2316 himG2532.

18ForG1063 IG1473 reckon thatG3754 theG3588 sufferingsG3804 ofG1391 thisG3588 presentG3568 timeG2540 are notG3756 worthyG514 toG1519 beG3195 compared withG4314 theG3588 gloryG1391 whichG3748 shall beG3195 revealedG601 toG1519 us-ward.

19ForG1063 theG3588 earnestG603 expectationG603 ofG5207 theG3588 creationG2937 waiteth forG1063 theG3588 revealingG602 ofG5207 theG3588 sonsG5207 ofG5207 GodG2316.

20ForG1063 theG3588 creationG2937 was subjectedG5293 toG1909 vanityG3153, notG3756 ofG1223 itsG1223 own will, butG235 byG1223 reasonG1223 ofG1223 himG1223 whoG3588 subjectedG5293 itG1223, inG1909 hopeG1680

21thatG3748 theG3588 creationG2937 itselfG846 alsoG2532 shallG2532 beG2532 delivered fromG575 theG3588 bondage ofG575 corruptionG5356 intoG1519 theG3588 libertyG1657 ofG575 theG3588 gloryG1391 ofG575 theG3588 childrenG5043 ofG575 GodG2316.

22ForG1063 weG2532 knowG1492 thatG3754 theG3956 wholeG3956 creationG2937 groaneth andG2532 travaileth inG2532 pain togetherG2532 untilG891 nowG3568.

23AndG2532 notG3756 onlyG3440 soG2532, butG1161 ourselvesG1438 alsoG2532, whichG3588 have theG3588 firstfruits ofG4151 theG3588 SpiritG4151, evenG2532 weG2249 ourselvesG1438 groanG4727 withinG1722 ourselvesG1438, waitingG553 forG1722 ourG2532 adoptionG5206, toG2532 wit, theG3588 redemptionG629 ofG4151 ourG2532 bodyG4983.

24ForG1063 byG2532 hopeG1680 wereG1510 weG3739 savedG4982: butG1161 hopeG1680 thatG3739 isG1510 seenG991 isG1510 notG3756 hopeG1680: forG1063 whoG3739 hopeth forG1063 thatG3739 whichG3739 heG2532 seeth?

25ButG1161 ifG1487 weG3739 hopeG1679 forG1223 thatG3739 whichG3739 weG3739 seeG991 notG3756, thenG1161 doG3756 weG3739 withG1223 patienceG5281 waitG553 forG1223 itG1223.

26AndG2532 inG2532 likeG846 mannerG5615 theG3588 SpiritG4151 alsoG2532 helpeth ourG2532 infirmityG769: forG1063 weG2249 knowG1492 notG3756 howG5101 toG2532 prayG4336 asG2532 weG2249 oughtG1163; butG1161 theG3588 SpiritG4151 himselfG846 maketh intercession forG1063 us withG2532 groaningsG4726 whichG5101 cannotG3756 beG1163 uttered;

27andG1161 heG3754 thatG3754 searcheth theG3588 heartsG2588 knoweth whatG5101 is theG3588 mindG2588 ofG4151 theG3588 SpiritG4151, becauseG3754 heG3754 maketh intercessionG1793 forG3754 theG3588 saintsG40 accordingG2596 toG2596 theG3588 willG2316 ofG4151 GodG2316.

28AndG1161 weG3754 knowG1492 thatG3754 toG1519 themG25 thatG3754 loveG25 GodG2316 allG3956 thingsG3956 workG4903 togetherG4903 forG1519 goodG18, evenG1161 toG1519 themG25 thatG3754 areG1510 calledG2822 accordingG2596 toG1519 hisG3956 purposeG4286.
