1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus , who walk not after the flesh , but after the Spirit .
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death .
3 For what the law could not do , in that it was weak through the flesh , God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh , and for sin , condemned sin in the flesh :
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us , who walk not after the flesh , but after the Spirit .
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh ; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit .
6 For to be carnally minded is death ; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace .
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God : for it is not subject to the law of God , neither indeed can be .
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God .
9 But ye are not in the flesh , but in the Spirit , if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you . Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ , he is none of his .
10 And if Christ be in you , the body is dead because of sin ; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness .
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you , he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you .
12 Therefore , brethren , we are debtors , not to the flesh , to live after the flesh .
13 For if ye live after the flesh , ye shall die : but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body , ye shall live .
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God , they are the sons of God .
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear ; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption , whereby we cry , Abba , Father .
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit , that we are the children of God :
17 And if children , then heirs ; heirs of God , and joint-heirs with Christ ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together .
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us .
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God .
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity , not willingly , but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope ,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God .
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now .
23 And not only they, but ourselves also , which have the firstfruits of the Spirit , even we ourselves groan within ourselves , waiting for the adoption , to wit, the redemption of our body .
24 For we are saved by hope : but hope that is seen is not hope : for what a man seeth , why doth he yet hope for ?
25 But if we hope for that we see not , then do we with patience wait for it.
26 G1161 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities : for we know not what we should pray for as we ought : but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered .
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit , because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God .
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God , to them who are the called according to his purpose .
29 For whom he did foreknow , he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son , that he might be the firstborn among many brethren .
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate , them he also called : and whom he called , them he also justified : and whom he justified , them he also glorified .
31 What shall we then say to these things ? If God be for us , who can be against us ?
32 He that spared not his own Son , but delivered him up for us all , how shall he not with him also freely give us all things ?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect ? It is God that justifieth .
34 Who is he that condemneth ? It is Christ that died , yea rather , that is risen again , who is even at the right hand of God , who also maketh intercession for us .
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ ? shall tribulation , or distress , or persecution , or famine , or nakedness , or peril , or sword ?
36 As it is written , For thy sake we are killed all the day long ; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter .
37 Nay , in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us .
38 For I am persuaded , that neither death , nor life , nor angels , nor principalities , nor powers , nor things present , nor things to come ,
39 Nor height , nor depth , nor any other creature , shall be able to separate us from the love of God , which is in Christ Jesus our Lord .
