8:1  Therefore there exists now no condemnation for those who dwell in Christ Jesus.

8:2  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

8:3  For what the Law could not do, weak as it seemed through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,

8:4  so that the requirement of the Law might receive fulfillment in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to 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 set on the flesh leads to death, but the mind set on the Spirit leads to life and peace,

8:7  because the mind set on the flesh shows hostility toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it cannot even do so,

8:8   and those who live in the flesh cannot please God.

8:9  However, you do not dwell in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

8:10   If Christ dwells in you, though the body dies because of sin, yet the spirit lives because of righteousness.

8:11  But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit which dwells in you.

8:12  So then, brethren, we have obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh--

8:13  for if you live according to 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 all who allow the Spirit of God to lead them constitute the real sons of God.

8:15  For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, " Abba! Father!"

8:16  The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that God considers us His children ,

8:17  and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also receive glorification with Him.

8:18  For I consider that the sufferings of this present time do not compare with the glory that will take place in us.

8:19  For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.

8:20  For the creation suffered subjection to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope

8:21  that the creation itself also will have liberation from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

8:22  For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.

8:23   And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.

8:24  For in hope we have received salvation, but hope that we see does not have hope; for who hopes for what he already sees?

8:25  But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

8:26  In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;

8:27  and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit desires, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

8:28  And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who have received a calling according to His purpose.

8:29  For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would become the firstborn among many brethren;

8:30  and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.

8:31  What then shall we say to these things? If God supports us, who can oppose us?

8:32  He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

8:33  Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God alone justifies;

8:34  who condemns? Christ Jesus died, yes, rather who became raised, who dwells at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

8:35  Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

8:36  Just as the scripture reads, " FOR YOUR SAKE WE SUFFER DEATH ALL DAY LONG;GOD CONSIDERED US AS SHEEP AWAITING SLAUGHTER."

8:37  But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.

8:38  For I feel convinced 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 have the capability of separating us from the love of God, which dwells in Christ Jesus our Lord.
