Romans 8

NASB

Romans 8

Deliverance from Bondage

^{Tools
1} Therefore there is now no ^(A)condemnation for those who are ^(B)in ^(C)Christ Jesus. ^{Tools
2} For ^(D)the law of the Spirit of life ^(a)in ^(E)Christ Jesus ^(F)has set you free from the law of sin and of death. ^{Tools
3} For ^(G)what the Law could not do, ^(b)^(H)weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in ^(I)the likeness of ^(c)sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, ^{Tools
4} so that the ^(J)requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who ^(K)do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. ^{Tools
5} For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on ^(L)the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, ^(M)the things of the Spirit. ^{Tools
6} ^(N)For the mind set on the flesh is ^(O)death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, ^{Tools
7} because the mind set on the flesh is ^(P)hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, ^{Tools
8} and those who are ^(Q)in the flesh cannot please God.

^{Tools
9} However, you are not ^(R)in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God ^(S)dwells in you. But ^(T)if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. ^{Tools
10} ^(U)If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is ^(d)alive because of righteousness. ^{Tools
11} But if the Spirit of Him who ^(V)raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, ^(W)He who raised ^(X)Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies ^(e)through His Spirit who dwells in you.

^{Tools
12} So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— ^{Tools
13} for ^(Y)if you are living according to the flesh, you ^(f)must die; but if by the Spirit you are ^(Z)putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. ^{Tools
14} For all who are ^(AA)being led by the Spirit of God, these are ^(AB)sons of God. ^{Tools
15} For you ^(AC)have not received a spirit of slavery ^(g)leading to fear again, but you ^(AD)have received ^(h)a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “^(AE)Abba! Father!” ^{Tools
16} The Spirit Himself ^(AF)testifies with our spirit that we are ^(AG)children of God, ^{Tools
17} and if children, ^(AH)heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, ^(AI)if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

^{Tools
18} For I consider that the sufferings of this present time ^(AJ)are not worthy to be compared with the ^(AK)glory that is to be revealed to us. ^{Tools
19} For the ^(AL)anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for ^(AM)the revealing of the ^(AN)sons of God. ^{Tools
20} For the creation ^(AO)was subjected to ^(AP)futility, not willingly, but ^(AQ)because of Him who subjected it, ⁽ⁱ⁾in hope ^{Tools
21} that ^(AR)the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. ^{Tools
22} For we know that the whole creation ^(AS)groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. ^{Tools
23} ^(AT)And not only this, but also we ourselves, having ^(AU)the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves ^(AV)groan within ourselves, ^(AW)waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, ^(AX)the redemption of our body. ^{Tools
24} For ^(AY)in hope we have been saved, but ^(AZ)hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? ^{Tools
25} But ^(BA)if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

Our Victory in Christ

^{Tools
26} In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for ^(BB)we do not know how to pray as we should, but ^(BC)the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; ^{Tools
27} and ^(BD)He who searches the hearts knows what ^(BE)the mind of the Spirit is, because He ^(BF)intercedes for the ^(j)saints according to the will of God.

^{Tools
28} And we know that ^(k)God causes ^(BG)all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are ^(BH)called according to His purpose. ^{Tools
29} For those whom He ^(BI)foreknew, He also ^(BJ)predestined to become ^(BK)conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the ^(BL)firstborn among many brethren; ^{Tools
30} and these whom He ^(BM)predestined, He also ^(BN)called; and these whom He called, He also ^(BO)justified; and these whom He justified, He also ^(BP)glorified.

^{Tools
31} ^(BQ)What then shall we say to these things? ^(BR)If God is for us, who is against us? ^{Tools
32} He who ^(BS)did not spare His own Son, but ^(BT)delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? ^{Tools
33} Who will bring a charge against ^(BU)God’s elect? ^(BV)God is the one who justifies; ^{Tools
34} who is the one who ^(BW)condemns? Christ Jesus is He who ^(BX)died, yes, rather who was ^(l)^(BY)raised, who is ^(BZ)at the right hand of God, who also ^(CA)intercedes for us. ^{Tools
35} Who will separate us from ^(CB)the love of ^(m)Christ? Will ^(CC)tribulation, or distress, or ^(CD)persecution, or ^(CE)famine, or ^(CF)nakedness, or ^(CG)peril, or sword? ^{Tools
36} Just as it is written,

“^(CH)For Your sake we are being put to death all day long;
We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

^{Tools
37} But in all these things we overwhelmingly ^(CI)conquer through ^(CJ)Him who loved us. ^{Tools
38} For I am convinced that neither ^(CK)death, nor life, nor ^(CL)angels, nor principalities, nor ^(CM)things present, nor things to come, nor powers, ^{Tools
39} nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from ^(CN)the love of God, which is ^(CO)in Christ Jesus our Lord.
