* 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 . * For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us . * For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed . * For the creation was subjected to vanity , not of its own will , but because of him who subjected it , in hope * that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God . * For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now . * Not only so , but ourselves also , who have the first fruits of the Spirit , even we ourselves groan within ourselves , waiting for adoption , the redemption of our body . * For we were saved in hope , but hope that is seen is not hope . For who hopes for that which he sees ? * But if we hope for that which we don 't see , we wait for it with patience . * In the same way , the Spirit also helps our weaknesses , for we don 't know how to pray as we ought . But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can 't be uttered . * He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit 's mind , because he makes intercession for the saints according to God . * We know that all things work together for good for those who love God , to those who are called according to his purpose . * For whom he foreknew , he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son , that he might be the firstborn among many brothers . {The word for "brothers " here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters " or "siblings ."} * Whom he predestined , those he also called . Whom he called , those he also justified . Whom he justified , those he also glorified . * What then shall we say about these things ? If God is for us , who can be against us ? * He who didn 't spare his own Son , but delivered him up for us all , how would he not also with him freely give us all things ? * Who could bring a charge against God 's chosen ones ? It is God who justifies . * Who is he who condemns ? It is Christ who died , yes rather , who was raised from the dead , who is at the right hand of God , who also makes intercession for us . * Who shall separate us from the love of Christ ? Could oppression , or anguish , or persecution , or famine , or nakedness , or peril , or sword ? * Even as it is written , "For your sake we are killed all day long . We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter ." {Psalm strkjv @44:22 } * No , in all these things , we are more than conquerors through him who loved us . * For I am persuaded , that neither death , nor life , nor angels , nor principalities , nor things present , nor things to come , nor powers , * nor height , nor depth , nor any other created thing , will be able to separate us from the love of God , which is in Christ Jesus our Lord .
