Romans 8:1-17 - Set Free From The Law Of Sin And Death
1 Hence there is now, no, condemnation unto them who are in Christ Jesus; 2 For, the-law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus, hath set thee free from the law of sin and of death; - 3 For, what was impossible by the law in that it was weak through the flesh, God, by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh, 4 In order that, the righteous requirement of the law, might be fulfilled in us - who, not according to flesh, do walk, but according to spirit; 5 For, they who according to flesh have their being, the things of the flesh do prefer, but, they according to the spirit, the things of the spirit; 6 For, what is preferred by the flesh, is death, whereas, what is preferred by the spirit, is life and peace; - 7 Inasmuch as, what is preferred by the flesh, is hostile towards God, for, unto the law of God, it doth not submit itself, neither in fact can it. - 8 They, moreover, who in flesh have their being, cannot please, God. 9 But, ye, have not your being in flesh, but in spirit, - if at least, God's Spirit, dwelleth in you; and, if anyone hath not Christ's Spirit, the same, is not his; - 10 But, if Christ is in you, the body, indeed, is dead by reason of sin, whereas, the spirit, is life by reason of righteousness; 11 If, moreover, the Spirit of him that raised Jesus from among the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised from among the dead Christ Jesus, shall make alive evenyour death-doomed bodies, through means of his indwelling Spirit within you.
12 Hence, then, brethren - debtors, we are, not unto the flesh, that, according to flesh, we should live, - 13 For, if according to flesh ye live, ye are about to die, whereas, if in spirit, the practices of the flesh, ye are putting to death, ye shall attain unto life; 14 For, as many as by God's Spirit are being led, the same, are God's sons, - 15 For ye have not received a spirit of servitude, leading back into fear, but ye have received a spirit of sonship, whereby we are exclaiming - Abba! Oh Father! 16 The Spirit itself, beareth witness together with our spirit that we are children of God; 17 And, if children, heirs also - heirs, indeed, of God, but co-heirs with Christ, - if, at least, we are suffering together, in order that we may also be glorified together.
