¹So there is now no condemnation of those in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the spirit. ²For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed me from the law of sin and death. ³For what was impossible with the law, in that it was weak as a result of the flesh, God did, having sent his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and concerning sin he condemned sin in the flesh, ⁴in order that the righteous decree of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not according to the flesh but according to the spirit. ⁵For those who are according to the flesh concentrate on the interests of the flesh, but those who are according to the spirit concentrate on the interests of the spirit. ⁶For the mindset of the flesh is on a par with death, but the mindset of the spirit is on a par with life and peace. ⁷For the mindset of the flesh is hostile to God, for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can it be, ⁸and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. ⁹But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, assuming the spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the spirit of Christ, he is not one of his. ¹⁰But if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because of righteousness. ¹¹And if the spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies on account of his spirit which dwells in you. ¹²So then, brothers, we are debtors, but not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh, ¹³for if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if you mortify the deeds of the body through the spirit, you will live. ¹⁴For those who are led by the spirit of God are the sons of God. ¹⁵For you have not received the spirit of bondage again, leading to fear, but you have received the spirit of adoption, by which we cry, “Abba, father.” ¹⁶The spirit itself bears joint witness with our spirit that we are children of God. ¹⁷And if children, then also heirs, God's heirs at that, and Christ's joint heirs, if indeed we jointly suffer, in order also for us to be jointly glorified. ¹⁸For I do not consider the sufferings of the present time worthy compared to the coming glory which is to be revealed to us. ¹⁹For the eager expectation of creation awaits the revelation of the sons of God. ²⁰For creation was subject to futility, not willingly, but on account of him who did the subjecting, but in hope ²¹that also creation itself will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the glorious freedom of the children of God. ²²For we know that the whole of creation has been groaning and suffering labour pains together up to now. ²³And not only that, but also those who have the firstfruit of the spirit, and we ourselves also groan inwardly while awaiting the adoption – the redemption of our body. ²⁴For we have been saved by hope. Now hope which is seen is not hope. For what someone sees, in what way does he also hope for it? ²⁵But if we hope for that which we do not see, we await it with patience. ²⁶And likewise, the spirit also helps counter our weaknesses. For we do not know in what way we shall pray – as we ought to – but the spirit itself intercedes for us with unutterable sighings. ²⁷And he who searches hearts knows what the mindset of the spirit is, because it intercedes for the saints in God's way. ²⁸And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose, ²⁹that those whom he knew beforehand, he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his son, so that he should be the firstborn among many brothers; ³⁰and those whom he predestined, he also called; and those whom he called, he also justified; and those whom he justified, he also glorified. ³¹What, then, shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? ³²He who for his part did not spare his own son but delivered him up for all of us, how will he not with him also make a gift of all things to us? ³³Who can bring a charge against God's chosen ones? God is the one who justifies. ³⁴Who is the accuser? Christ is the one who died, or rather, who was also raised, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. ³⁵Who can separate us from the love of Christ? Can tribulation or anguish or persecution or famine or destitution or danger or the sword? ³⁶As it stands written: ³⁷But in all these things we do more than conquer through him who loved us. ³⁸For I have been persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor dominions nor powers, nor things present or future, ³⁹nor height nor depth, nor any other creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
