Romans:8:1-17
Seeker Overlay ON
*
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus ,
who don '
t walk according to the flesh ,
but according to the Spirit . {
NU omits "
who don '
t walk according to the flesh ,
but according to the Spirit "}
*
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death .
*
For what the law couldn '
t do ,
in that it was weak through the flesh ,
God did ,
sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin ,
he condemned sin in the flesh ;
*
that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us ,
who walk not after the flesh ,
but after the Spirit .
*
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh ,
but those who live according to the Spirit ,
the things of the Spirit .
*
For the mind of the flesh is death ,
but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace ;
*
because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God ;
for it is not subject to God '
s law ,
neither indeed can it be .
*
Those who are in the flesh can '
t please God .
*
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit ,
if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you .
But if any man doesn '
t have the Spirit of Christ ,
he is not his .
*
If Christ is in you ,
the body is dead because of sin ,
but the spirit is alive because of righteousness .
*
But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you ,
he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you .
*
So then ,
brothers ,
we are debtors ,
not to the flesh ,
to live after the flesh .
*
For if you live after the flesh ,
you must die ;
but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body ,
you will live .
*
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God ,
these are children of God .
*
For you didn '
t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear ,
but you received the Spirit of adoption ,
by whom we cry , "
Abba {
Abba is an Aramaic word for father or daddy ,
often used affectionately and respectfully in prayer to our Father in heaven .}!
Father !"
*
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God ;
*
and if children ,
then heirs ;
heirs of God ,
and joint heirs with Christ ;
if indeed we suffer with him ,
that we may also be glorified with him .
