1There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus . 2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death . 3For 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 : 4that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us , who walk not after the flesh , but after the Spirit . 5For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh ; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit . 6For the mind of the flesh is death ; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace : 7because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God ; for it is not subject to the law of God , neither indeed can it be : 8and they that are in the flesh cannot please God . 9But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit , if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you . But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ , he is none of his . 10And if Christ is in you , the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness . 11But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you , he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you . 12So then , brethren , we are debtors , not to the flesh , to live after the flesh : 13for if ye live after the flesh , ye must die ; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body , ye shall live . 14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God , these are sons of God . 15For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear ; but ye received the spirit of adoption , whereby we cry , Abba, Father . 16The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit , that we are children of God : 17and 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 with him .
The Future Glory
18For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward. 19For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God . 20For the creation was subjected to vanity , not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it , in hope 21that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God . 22For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now . 23And not only so , but ourselves also , who have the first-fruits of the Spirit , even we ourselves groan within ourselves , waiting for our adoption , to wit , the redemption of our body . 24For in hope were we saved : but hope that is seen is not hope : for who hopeth for that which he seeth? 25But if we hope for that which we see not , then do we with patience wait for it . 26And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought ; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered; 27and 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 . 28And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good , even to them that are called according to his purpose . 29For whom he foreknew , he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son , that he might be the firstborn among many brethren : 30and whom he foreordained, them he also called : and whom he called , them he also justified : and whom he justified , them he also glorified .
God's Unfailing Love
31What then shall we say to these things ? If God is for us , who is against us ? 32He that spared not his own Son , but delivered him up for us all , how shall he not also with him freely give us all things ? 33Who shall lay anything to the charge of God ’s elect ? It is God that justifieth ; 34who is he that condemneth ? It is Christ Jesus that died , yea rather , that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God , who also maketh intercession for us . 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ ? shall tribulation , or anguish , or persecution , or famine , or nakedness , or peril , or sword ? 36Even as it is written , For thy sake we are killed all the day long ; We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter . 37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us . 38For I am persuaded , that neither death , nor life , nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present , nor things to come , nor powers , 39nor 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 .
