Romans:8:11-34
Seeker Overlay ON
*
If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you ,
he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit which dwells in you .
*
So then ,
brethren ,
we are debtors ,
not to the flesh ,
to live according to the flesh --
*
for if you live according to the flesh you will die ,
but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live .
*
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God .
*
For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear ,
but you have received the spirit of sonship .
When we cry , "
Abba !
Father !"
*
it is the Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God ,
*
and if children ,
then heirs ,
heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ ,
provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him .
*
I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us .
*
For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God ;
*
for the creation was subjected to futility ,
not of its own will but by the will of him who subjected it in hope ;
*
because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God .
*
We know that the whole creation has been groaning in travail together until now ;
*
and not only the creation ,
but we ourselves ,
who have the first fruits of the Spirit ,
groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons ,
the redemption of our bodies .
*
For in this hope we were saved .
Now hope that is seen is not hope .
For who hopes for what he sees ?
*
But if we hope for what we do not see ,
we wait for it with patience .
*
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness ;
for we do not know how to pray as we ought ,
but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words .
*
And he who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit ,
because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God .
*
We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him ,
who are called according to his purpose .
*
For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son ,
in order that he might be the first-born among many brethren .
*
And those whom he predestined he also called ;
and those whom he called he also justified ;
and those whom he justified he also glorified .
*
What then shall we say to this ?
If God is for us ,
who is against us ?
*
He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all ,
will he not also give us all things with him ?
*
Who shall bring any charge against God '
s elect ?
It is God who justifies ;
*
who is to condemn ?
Is it Christ Jesus ,
who died ,
yes ,
who was raised from the dead ,
who is at the right hand of God ,
who indeed intercedes for us ?
