LO - Romans - 8

8:1  There is, then, no condemnation, now, to those who are in Christ Jesus.

8:2  For the law of the Spirit of Life by Christ Jesus, has freed me from the law of sin, and of death.

8:3  For what the law could not accomplish in that it was weak through the flesh; God sending his own Son, in the likeness of sinful flesh, accomplished ; and by an offering for sin, condemned sin in the flesh.

8:4  That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled by us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

8:5  Now, they who live according to the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; and they who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

8:6  But the mind of the flesh is death; and the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:

8:7  because the mind of the flesh is enmity toward God: for, to the law of God it is not subject; neither, indeed, can be.

8:8  Those, then, who are in the flesh, can not please God.

8:9  Now, you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit; because the Spirit of God dwells in you. But, if any one have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

8:10  And if Christ be in you, the body, indeed, is dead, with respect to sin; but the Spirit is life, with respect to righteousness.

8:11  For, if the Spirit of him, who raised up Jesus from the dead, dwell in you; he who raised up Christ from the dead, will make even your mortal bodies alive, through his Spirit, who dwells in you.

8:12  Well, then, brethren, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

8:13  Wherefore, if you live according to the flesh, you shall die; but if, through the Spirit, you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live.

8:14  Because, as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.

8:15  For you have not received the spirit of bondage, again, to fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father.

8:16  Also this spirit bears witness, together with our spirit, that we are children of God.

8:17  And if children, then heirs; heirs, indeed, of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if, indeed, we suffer with him, that with him also we may be glorified.

8:18  However, I esteem not the sufferings of the present time, as worthy of comparison with the glory, which is hereafter to be revealed in us.

8:19  For the earnest expectation of the creature, is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God.

8:20  For the creature was subjected to frailty, (not of its own choice, but by him who has subjected it,) in hope,

8:21  that it may be liberated, from the bondage of a perishing state, and brought into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.

8:22  Besides, we know, that the whole creation sigh together, and travail in anguish till the present time.

8:23  And not only they, but ourselves also, who have the first fruit of the Spirit; even we ourselves, groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption; namely, the redemption of our body.

8:24  For even we are saved by hope. Now, hope that is attained, is not hope; for who can hope for that which he enjoys?

8:25  But if we hope for that which we do not enjoy, then, with patience, we wait for it.

8:26  In like manner, also, the Spirit helps our infirmities; for we know not what we should pray for, as we ought; however, the Spirit himself intercedes for us, in sighs, which can not be uttered.

8:27  But he who searches the hearts, knows the mind of the Spirit; that, according to the will of God, he makes intercession for the saints.

8:28  Besides, we know, that all things work together for good, to them who love God; to them, who are called according to his purpose.

8:29  For, whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be conformed to the image of his Son; that he might be the first born among many brethren.

8:30  Moreover, whom he predestinated, them he also called; and whom he called, them he also justified; and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

8:31  What shall we say, then, to these things? Since God is for us, who can be against us?

8:32  He, certainly, who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all; how will he not, with him, also, graciously give us all things?

8:33  Who will bring an accusation against the elect of God? Is it God who justifies them?

8:34  Who is he, who condemns them? It is Christ, who died; or rather, who has risen: who also, is at the right hand of God; and who makes intercession for us?

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

8:36  As it is written, "Truly, for thy sake, we are put to death all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."

8:37  Nay, in all these things, we do more than overcome, through him who has loved us.

8:38  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life; neither angels, nor principalities; nor powers; neither things present, nor to come;

8:39  neither hight, nor depth; nor any created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
