Paul's Letter to the Romans, Chapter 8
{8:1} There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in
Messiah Yeshua, [1>]who don't walk according to the flesh, but
according to the Spirit.[<1] {8:2} For the law of the Spirit of life
in Messiah Yeshua made me free from the law of sin and of death. {8:3}
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; {8:4} that the ordinance of the
law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after
the Spirit. {8:5} 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. {8:6} For the mind of the flesh is
death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace; {8:7} because the
mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to
God's law, neither indeed can it be. {8:8} Those who are in the flesh
can't please God. {8:9} 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 Messiah, he is not his. {8:10} If
Messiah is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is
alive because of righteousness. {8:11} But if the Spirit of him who
raised up Yeshua from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Messiah
Yeshua from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through
his Spirit who dwells in you. {8:12} So then, brothers, we are
debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. {8:13} 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. {8:14} For as many as are
led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God. {8:15} For you
didn't receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received
the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "[2>]Abba[<2]! Father!"
{8:16} The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are
children of God; {8:17} and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and
joint heirs with Messiah; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may
also be glorified with him. {8:18} 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. {8:19} For the creation waits with
eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. {8:20} For
the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because
of him who subjected it, in hope {8:21} that the creation itself also
will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the
glory of the children of God. {8:22} For we know that the whole
creation groans and travails in pain together until now. {8:23} 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. {8:24} For we were saved in hope, but hope
that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees? {8:25}
But if we hope for that which we don't see, we wait for it with
patience. {8:26} 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. {8:27} He who searches the hearts knows what is on the
Spirit's mind, because he makes intercession for the holy ones
according to God.
{8:28} We know that all things work together for good for those who
love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. {8:29} For
whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of
his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many [3>]brothers.[<3]
{8:30} Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called,
those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.
{8:31} What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us,
who can be against us? {8:32} 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? {8:33} Who could bring a charge against God's
chosen ones? It is God who justifies. {8:34} Who is he who condemns?
It is Messiah who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who
is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
{8:35} Who shall separate us from the love of Messiah? Could
oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or
peril, or sword? {8:36} Even as it is written, "For your sake we are
killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter."[4]
{8:37} No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through
him who loved us. {8:38} For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor
life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things
to come, nor powers, {8:39} nor height, nor depth, nor any other
created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which
is in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
