* There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus , who walk not after the flesh , but after the Spirit . * For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death . * 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 : * That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us , who walk not after the flesh , but after the Spirit . * 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 . * 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 to the law of God , neither indeed can be . * So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God . * 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 . * 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 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 . * Therefore , brethren , we are debtors , not to the flesh , to live after the flesh . * 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 . * For as many as are led by the Spirit of God , they are the sons of God . * 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 . * The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit , that we are the children of God : * 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 . * 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 . * For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God . * For the creature was made subject to vanity , not willingly , but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope , * Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God . * For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now . * 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 . * 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 ? * But if we hope for that we see not , then do we with patience wait for it . * 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 . * 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 .
