Free from Indwelling Sin
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, awho do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2 For athe law of bthe Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from cthe law of sin and death.
3 For awhat the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, bGod did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,
4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who ado not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5 For athose who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, bthe things of the Spirit.
6 For ato be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because athe carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, bnor indeed can be.
8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of aHim who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, bHe who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies1 through His Spirit who dwells in you.
Sonship Through the Spirit
12 aTherefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
13 For aif you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you bput to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14 For aas many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
15 For ayou did not receive the spirit of bondage again bto fear, but you received the cSpirit of adoption by whom we cry out, d“Abba, Father.”
16 aThe Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
17 and if children, then aheirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, bif indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
From Suffering to Glory
18 For I consider that athe sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For athe earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
20 For athe creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;
