(
(Romans 8 KJV) "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which
are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
{2} For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free
from the law of sin and death. {3} 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: {4}
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not
after the flesh, but after the Spirit. {5} 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. {6} For to be carnally minded is death;
but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. {7} Because the carnal
mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God,
neither indeed can be. {8} So then they that are in the flesh cannot
please God. {9} 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. {10} And if Christ be in you, the body is
dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
{11} 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. {12} Therefore,
brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
{13} 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. {14} For as many
as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. {15} 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. {16} The
Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children
of God: {17} 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.
{18} 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. {19} For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth
for the manifestation of the sons of God. {20} For the creature was made
subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath
subjected the same in hope, {21} Because the creature itself also
shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious
liberty of the children of God. {22} For we know that the whole
creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. {23} 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. {24} 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? {25} But if we hope for that we see not, then do we
with patience wait for it. {26} 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. {27} 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. {28} And we know that all things work
together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called
according to his purpose. {29} For whom he did foreknow, he also did
predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be
the firstborn among many brethren. {30} Moreover whom he did
predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also
justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. {31} What
shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against
us? {32} He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us
all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? {33} Who
shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that
justifieth. {34} Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea
rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who
also maketh intercession for us. {35} Who shall separate us from the
love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or
famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? {36} As it is written, For thy
sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the
slaughter. {37} Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through him that loved us. {38} For I am persuaded, that neither death,
nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things
present, nor things to come, {39} Nor height, nor depth, nor any other
creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in
Christ Jesus our Lord."
