Set Free From The Law Of Sin And Death
1 Consequently nothing is condemnation now to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to flesh but according to Spirit.
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in union with the Messiah Jesus.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus freed me from the law of sin and of death.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
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.
2 because the Spirit’s law of life(D) in Christ Jesus has set you(b) free from the law of sin and of death.(E)
2 For the Spirit's law of life in the Messiah Jesus has set me free from the Law of sin and death.
3 For the impotence of the law, in that it was weak because of the flesh, God, having sent his own Son in a form of flesh of sin, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,
3 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:
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,
3 What the law could not do(F) since it was limited(c) by the flesh,(G) God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending His own Son in flesh like ours(H) under sin’s domain,(d) and as a sin offering,(I)
3 For what the Law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did. By sending his own Son in the form of humanity, he condemned sin by being incarnate,
4 so that the justice of the law might be fulfilled in us, those who walk not according to flesh, but according to Spirit.
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
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.
4 in order that the law’s requirement would be accomplished(J) in us who do not walk according to the flesh(K) but according to the Spirit.
4 so that the righteous requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not live according to human nature but according to the Spirit.
5 For those who are according to flesh think about the things of the flesh, but those according to Spirit the things of the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
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.
5 For those who live(e) according to the flesh think about the things of the flesh,(L) but those who live(f) according to the Spirit, about the things of the Spirit.
5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.
7 Because the mentality of the flesh is enmity against God, for it is not submissive to the law of God, for neither is it able.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
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,
7 For the mind-set of the flesh is hostile(O) to God because it does not submit itself to God’s law, for it is unable to do so.
7 That is why the mind that focuses on human nature is hostile toward God. It refuses to submit to the authority of God's Law because it is powerless to do so.
9 But ye are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, this man is not of him.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
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.
9 You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, since(g) the Spirit of God lives in you.(Q) But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,(R) he does not belong to Him.
9 You, however, are not under the control of the human nature but under the control of the Spirit, since God's Spirit lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of the Messiah, he does not belong to him.
10 And if Christ is in you, the body is indeed dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
10 (U)If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is (d)alive because of righteousness.
10 Now if Christ is in you,(S) the body is dead(h) because of sin, but the Spirit(i) is life because of righteousness.
10 But if the Messiah is in you, your bodies are dead due to sin, but the spirit is alive due to righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up the Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwells in you.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
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.
11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead(T) lives in you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through(j) His Spirit who lives in you.
11 And if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, then the one who raised the Messiah from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive by his Spirit who lives in you.
The Holy Spirit's Ministries
12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh to live according to flesh.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
12 So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh—
12 So then, brothers, we are not obligated to the flesh to live according to the flesh,
12 Consequently, brothers, we are not with respect to human nature, that is under an obligation to live according to human nature.
13 For if ye live according to flesh, ye are going to die, but if in spirit ye kill the deeds of the body, ye will live.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
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.
13 for if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body,(U) you will live.
13 For if you live according to human nature, you are going to die, but if by the Spirit you continuously put to death the activities of the body, you will live.
The Yeast Of The Pharisees And Herod
15 For ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye received a spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
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!”
15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear,(X) but you received the Spirit of adoption,(Y) by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!”(Z)
15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery that leads you into fear again. Instead, you have received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba! Father!"
17 And if children, also heirs, heirs indeed of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer jointly, so that we may also be glorified jointly.
17 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 together.
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.
17 and if children, also heirs(AB)—heirs of God and coheirs with Christ—seeing that(k) we suffer with Him(AC) so that we may also be glorified with Him.
17 Now if we are children, we are heirs heirs of God and co-heirs with the Messiah if, in fact, we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
The Glory That Is To Be Revealed

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
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.
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing(AD) with the glory(AE) that is going to be revealed to us.
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to us.
19 For the eager expectation of the creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
19 For the (AL)anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for (AM)the revealing of the (AN)sons of God.
19 For the creation is eagerly awaiting the revelation of God's children,
20 For the creation was made subject to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it in hope.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
20 For the creation (AO)was subjected to (AP)futility, not willingly, but (AQ)because of Him who subjected it, (i)in hope
20 For the creation was subjected(AH) to futility(AI)—not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it(AJ)—in the hope
20 because the creation has become subject to futility, though not by anything it did. The one who subjected it did so in the certainty
21 Because the creation itself will also be freed from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
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.
21 that the creation itself(AK) will also be set free from the bondage of corruption into the glorious freedom of God’s children.
21 that the creation itself would also be set free from corrupting bondage in order to share the glorious freedom of God's children.
A Two-Stage Healing
22 For we know that the whole creation is groaning and travailing together until now.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
22 For we know that the whole creation (AS)groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.
22 For we know that all the rest of creation has been groaning with the pains of childbirth up to the present time.
23 And not only so, but also ourselves who have the first fruit of the Spirit. And we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
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.
23 And not only that,(AM) but we ourselves who have the Spirit as the firstfruits(AN)—we also groan within ourselves,(AO) eagerly waiting for adoption,(AP) the redemption of our bodies.(AQ)
23 However, not only the creation, but we who have the first fruits of the Spirit also groan inwardly as we eagerly await our adoption, the redemption of our bodies.
24 For we were saved to hope. But hope that is seen is not hope. For what is seen, why also hope for that?
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
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?
24 Now in this hope(AR) we were saved, yet hope(AS) that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees?
24 For we were saved with this hope in mind. Now a hope that can be observed is not really hope, for who hopes for what can be seen?
26 And likewise also the Spirit helps our weaknesses, for we know not what we would pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
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;
26 In the same way the Spirit also joins to help in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should,(AU) but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us(l)(AV) with unspoken groanings.
26 In the same way, the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, since we do not know how to pray as we should. But the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words,
27 And he who searches the hearts knows what is the mentality of the Spirit, because he appeals to God for the sanctified.
27 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.
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.
27 And He who searches the hearts(AW) knows the Spirit’s mind-set, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
