Romans:8-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus ,
who walk (
5723 )
not after the flesh ,
but after the Spirit .
*
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free (
5656 )
from the law of sin and death .
*
For what the law could not do ,
in that it was weak (
5707 )
through the flesh ,
God sending (
5660 )
his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh ,
and for sin ,
condemned (
5656 )
sin in the flesh :
*
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled (
5686 )
in us ,
who walk (
5723 )
not after the flesh ,
but after the Spirit .
*
For they that are (
5752 )
after the flesh do mind (
5719 )
the things of the flesh ;
but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit .
*
For to be carnally minded is death ;
but to be spiritually minded is life and peace .
*
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God :
for it is not subject (
5743 )
to the law of God ,
neither indeed can be (
5736 ).
*
So then they that are (
5752 )
in the flesh cannot (
5736 )
please (
5658 )
God .
*
But ye are (
5748 )
not in the flesh ,
but in the Spirit ,
if so be that the Spirit of God dwell (
5719 )
in you .
Now if any man have (
5719 )
not the Spirit of Christ ,
he is (
5748 )
none of his .
*
And if Christ be in you ,
the body is dead because of sin ;
but the Spirit is life because of righteousness .
*
But if the Spirit of him that raised up (
5660 )
Jesus from the dead dwell (
5719 )
in you ,
he that raised up (
5660 )
Christ from the dead shall also quicken (
5692 )
your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth (
5723 ) (
5625 ) (
5723 )
in you .
*
Therefore ,
brethren ,
we are (
5748 )
debtors ,
not to the flesh ,
to live (
5721 )
after the flesh .
*
For if ye live (
5719 )
after the flesh ,
ye shall (
5719 )
die (
5721 ):
but if ye through the Spirit do mortify (
5719 )
the deeds of the body ,
ye shall live (
5695 ).
*
For as many as are led (
5743 )
by the Spirit of God ,
they are (
5748 )
the sons of God .
*
For ye have not received (
5627 )
the spirit of bondage again to fear ;
but ye have received (
5627 )
the Spirit of adoption ,
whereby we cry (
5719 ),
Abba ,
Father .
*
The Spirit itself beareth witness (
5719 )
with our spirit ,
that we are (
5748 )
the children of God :
*
And if children ,
then heirs ;
heirs of God ,
and joint-heirs with Christ ;
if so be that we suffer with (
5719 )
him ,
that we may be also glorified together (
5686 ).
*
For I reckon (
5736 )
that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall (
5723 )
be revealed (
5683 )
in us .
*
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth (
5736 )
for the manifestation of the sons of God .
*
For the creature was made subject (
5648 )
to vanity ,
not willingly ,
but by reason of him who hath subjected (
5660 )
the same in hope ,
*
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered (
5701 )
from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God .
*
For we know (
5758 )
that the whole creation groaneth (
5719 )
and travaileth in pain together (
5719 )
until now .
*
And not only they ,
but ourselves also ,
which have (
5723 )
the firstfruits of the Spirit ,
even we ourselves groan (
5719 )
within ourselves ,
waiting (
5740 )
for the adoption ,
to wit ,
the redemption of our body .
*
For we are saved (
5681 )
by hope :
but hope that is seen (
5746 )
is (
5748 )
not hope :
for what a man seeth (
5719 ),
why doth he yet hope for (
5719 )?
*
But if we hope (
5719 )
for that we see (
5719 )
not ,
then do we with patience wait for (
5736 )
it .
*
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth (
5736 )
our infirmities :
for we know (
5758 )
not what we should pray for (
5667 )
as we ought (
5748 ):
but the Spirit itself maketh intercession (
5719 )
for us with groanings which cannot be uttered .
*
And he that searcheth (
5723 )
the hearts knoweth (
5758 )
what is the mind of the Spirit ,
because he maketh intercession (
5719 )
for the saints according to the will of God .
*
And we know (
5758 )
that all things work together (
5719 )
for good to them that love (
5723 )
God ,
to them who are (
5752 )
the called according to his purpose .
*
For whom he did foreknow (
5656 ),
he also did predestinate (
5656 )
to be conformed to the image of his Son ,
that he might be (
5750 )
the firstborn among many brethren .
*
Moreover whom he did predestinate (
5656 ),
them he also called (
5656 ):
and whom he called (
5656 ),
them he also justified (
5656 ):
and whom he justified (
5656 ),
them he also glorified (
5656 ).
*
What shall we then say (
5692 )
to these things ?
If God be for us ,
who can be against us ?
*
He that spared (
5662 )
not his own Son ,
but delivered him up (
5656 )
for us all ,
how shall he not with him also freely give (
5695 )
us all things ?
*
Who shall lay any thing (
5692 )
to the charge of Gods elect ?
It is God that justifieth (
5723 ).
*
Who is he that condemneth (
5723 ) (
5694 )?
It is Christ that died (
5631 ),
yea rather ,
that is risen again (
5685 ),
who is (
5748 )
even at the right hand of God ,
who also maketh intercession (
5719 )
for us .
*
Who shall separate (
5692 )
us from the love of Christ ?
shall tribulation ,
or distress ,
or persecution ,
or famine ,
or nakedness ,
or peril ,
or sword ?
*
As it is written (
5769 ),
For thy sake we are killed (
5743 )
all the day long ;
we are accounted (
5681 )
as sheep for the slaughter .
*
Nay ,
in all these things we are more than conquerors (
5719 )
through him that loved (
5660 )
us .
*
For I am persuaded (
5769 ),
that neither death ,
nor life ,
nor angels ,
nor principalities ,
nor powers ,
nor things present (
5761 ),
nor things to come (
5723 ),
*
Nor height ,
nor depth ,
nor any other creature ,
shall be able (
5695 )
to separate (
5658 )
us from the love of God ,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord .
*
I say (
5719 )
the truth in Christ ,
I lie (
5736 )
not ,
my conscience also bearing me witness (
5723 )
in the Holy Ghost ,
*
That I have (
5748 )
great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart .
*
For I could wish (
5711 )
that myself were (
5750 )
accursed from Christ for my brethren ,
my kinsmen according to the flesh :
*
Who are (
5748 )
Israelites ;
to whom pertaineth the adoption ,
and the glory ,
and the covenants ,
and the giving of the law ,
and the service of God ,
and the promises ;
*
Whose are the fathers ,
and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came ,
who (
5752 )
is over all ,
God blessed for ever .
Amen .
*
Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect (
5758 ).
For they are not all Israel ,
which are of Israel :
*
Neither ,
because they are (
5748 )
the seed of Abraham ,
are they all children :
but ,
In Isaac shall thy seed be called (
5701 ).
*
That is (
5748 ),
They which are the children of the flesh ,
these are not the children of God :
but the children of the promise are counted (
5736 )
for the seed .
*
For this is the word of promise ,
At this time will I come (
5695 ),
and Sara shall have (
5704 )
a son .
*
And not only this ;
but when Rebecca also had conceived by one (
5723 ),
even by our father Isaac ;
* (
For the children being not yet born (
5685 ),
neither having done (
5660 )
any good or evil ,
that the purpose of God according to election might stand (
5725 ),
not of works ,
but of him that calleth (
5723 );)
*
It was said (
5681 )
unto her ,
The elder shall serve (
5692 )
the younger .
*
As it is written (
5769 ),
Jacob have I loved (
5656 ),
but Esau have I hated (
5656 ).
*
What shall we say (
5692 )
then ?
Is there unrighteousness with God ?
God forbid (
5636 ).
*
For he saith (
5719 )
to Moses ,
I will have mercy on (
5692 )
whom I will have mercy (
5725 ),
and I will have compassion (
5692 )
on whom I will have compassion (
5725 ).
*
So then it is not of him that willeth (
5723 ),
nor of him that runneth (
5723 ),
but of God that sheweth mercy (
5723 ).
*
For the scripture saith (
5719 )
unto Pharaoh ,
Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up (
5656 ),
that I might shew (
5672 )
my power in thee ,
and that my name might be declared (
5652 )
throughout all the earth .
*
Therefore hath he mercy (
5719 )
on whom he will (
5719 )
have mercy ,
and whom he will (
5719 )
he hardeneth (
5719 ).
*
Thou wilt say (
5692 )
then unto me ,
Why doth he yet find fault (
5736 )?
For who hath resisted (
5758 )
his will ?
*
Nay but ,
O man ,
who art (
5748 )
thou that repliest against (
5740 )
God ?
Shall the thing formed say (
5692 )
to him that formed (
5660 )
it ,
Why hast thou made (
5656 )
me thus ?
*
Hath (
5719 )
not the potter power over the clay ,
of the same lump to make (
5658 )
one vessel unto honour ,
and another unto dishonour ?
*
What if God ,
willing (
5723 )
to shew (
5670 )
his wrath ,
and to make his power known (
5658 ),
endured (
5656 )
with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted (
5772 )
to destruction :
*
And that he might make known (
5661 )
the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy ,
which he had afore prepared (
5656 )
unto glory ,
*
Even us ,
whom he hath called (
5656 ),
not of the Jews only ,
but also of the Gentiles ?
*
As he saith (
5719 )
also in Osee ,
I will call (
5692 )
them my people ,
which were not my people ;
and her beloved (
5772 ),
which was not beloved (
5772 ).
*
And it shall come to pass (
5704 ),
that in the place where (
5625 )
it was said (
5681 )
unto them ,
Ye are not my people ;
there shall they be called (
5701 )
the children of the living (
5723 )
God .
*
Esaias also crieth (
5719 )
concerning Israel ,
Though the number of the children of Israel be (
5753 )
as the sand of the sea ,
a remnant shall be saved (
5701 ):
*
For he will finish (
5723 )
the work ,
and cut it short (
5723 )
in righteousness :
because a short (
5772 )
work will the Lord make (
5692 )
upon the earth .
*
And as Esaias said before (
5758 ),
Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left (
5627 )
us a seed ,
we had been (
5675 )
as Sodoma ,
and been made like (
5681 )
unto Gomorrha .
*
What shall we say (
5692 )
then ?
That the Gentiles ,
which followed (
5723 )
not after righteousness ,
have attained (
5627 )
to righteousness ,
even the righteousness which is of faith .
*
But Israel ,
which followed (
5723 )
after the law of righteousness ,
hath not attained (
5656 )
to the law of righteousness .
*
Wherefore ?
Because they sought it not by faith ,
but as it were by the works of the law .
For they stumbled (
5656 )
at that stumblingstone ;
*
As it is written (
5769 ),
Behold (
5628 ),
I lay (
5719 )
in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence :
and whosoever believeth (
5723 )
on him shall not be ashamed (
5701 ).
*
Brethren ,
my hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel is (
5748 ),
that they might be saved .
*
For I bear them record (
5719 )
that they have (
5719 )
a zeal of God ,
but not according to knowledge .
*
For they being ignorant (
5723 )
of Gods righteousness ,
and going about (
5723 )
to establish (
5658 )
their own righteousness ,
have not submitted themselves (
5648 )
unto the righteousness of God .
*
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth (
5723 ).
*
For Moses describeth (
5719 )
the righteousness which is of the law ,
That the man which doeth (
5660 )
those things shall live (
5695 )
by them .
*
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh (
5719 )
on this wise ,
Say (
5632 )
not in thine heart ,
Who shall ascend (
5695 )
into heaven ? (
that is (
5748 ),
to bring Christ down (
5629 )
from above :)
*
Or ,
Who shall descend (
5695 )
into the deep ? (
that is (
5748 ),
to bring up Christ again (
5629 )
from the dead .)
*
But what saith it (
5719 )?
The word is (
5748 )
nigh thee ,
even in thy mouth ,
and in thy heart :
that is (
5748 ),
the word of faith ,
which we preach (
5719 );
*
That if thou shalt confess (
5661 )
with thy mouth the Lord Jesus ,
and shalt believe (
5661 )
in thine heart that God hath raised (
5656 )
him from the dead ,
thou shalt be saved (
5701 ).
*
For with the heart man believeth (
5743 )
unto righteousness ;
and with the mouth confession is made (
5743 )
unto salvation .
*
For the scripture saith (
5719 ),
Whosoever believeth (
5723 )
on him shall not be ashamed (
5701 ).
*
For there is (
5748 )
no difference between the Jew and the Greek :
for the same Lord over all is rich (
5723 )
unto all that call upon (
5734 )
him .
*
For whosoever shall call upon (
5672 )
the name of the Lord shall be saved (
5701 ).
*
How then shall they call on (
5698 )
him in whom they have not believed (
5656 )?
and how shall they believe in (
5692 )
him of whom they have not heard (
5656 )?
and how shall they hear (
5692 )
without a preacher (
5723 )?
*
And how shall they preach (
5692 ),
except they be sent (
5652 )?
as it is written (
5769 ),
How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel (
5734 )
of peace ,
and bring glad tidings (
5734 )
of good things !
*
But they have not all obeyed (
5656 )
the gospel .
For Esaias saith (
5719 ),
Lord ,
who hath believed (
5656 )
our report ?
*
So then faith cometh by hearing ,
and hearing by the word of God .
*
But I say (
5719 ),
Have they not heard (
5656 )?
Yes verily ,
their sound went (
5627 )
into all the earth ,
and their words unto the ends of the world .
*
But I say (
5719 ),
Did not Israel know (
5627 )?
First Moses saith (
5719 ),
I will provoke you to jealousy (
5692 )
by them that are no people ,
and by a foolish nation I will anger (
5692 )
you .
*
But Esaias is very bold (
5719 ),
and saith (
5719 ),
I was found (
5681 )
of them that sought (
5723 )
me not ;
I was made (
5633 )
manifest unto them that asked not after (
5723 )
me .
*
But to Israel he saith (
5719 ),
All day long I have stretched forth (
5656 )
my hands unto a disobedient (
5723 )
and gainsaying (
5723 )
people .
*
I say (
5719 )
then ,
Hath God cast away (
5662 )
his people ?
God forbid (
5636 ).
For I also am (
5748 )
an Israelite ,
of the seed of Abraham ,
of the tribe of Benjamin .
