1
ASV
There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.
2
ASV
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
3
ASV
For 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:
4
ASV
that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5
ASV
For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6
ASV
For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:
7
ASV
because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be:
8
ASV
and they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9
ASV
But 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.
10
ASV
And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness.
11
ASV
But 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.
12
ASV
So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh:
13
ASV
for 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.
14
ASV
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
15
ASV
For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16
ASV
The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:
17
ASV
and 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].
18
ASV
For 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.
19
ASV
For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God.
20
ASV
For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope
21
ASV
that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
22
ASV
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23
ASV
And 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.
24
ASV
For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth?
25
ASV
But if we hope for that which we see not, [then] do we with patience wait for it.
26
ASV
And 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;
27
ASV
and 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.
28
ASV
And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, [even] to them that are called according to [his] purpose.
29
ASV
For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:
30
ASV
and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31
ASV
What then shall we say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [is] against us?
32
ASV
He 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?
33
ASV
Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth;
34
ASV
who 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.
35
ASV
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36
ASV
Even as it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37
ASV
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38
ASV
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39
ASV
nor 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.
