1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus freed me from the law of sin and of death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did: sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,
4 that the righteous ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5 For those who are according to the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;
7 because the mind of the flesh is enmity toward God; for it is not subject to the law of God, for neither can it be;
8 and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.
10 And if Christ is in you, the body indeed is dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh;
13 for if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
15 For you did not receive a spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father."
16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God;
17 and if children, also heirs: heirs indeed of God, and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed to us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
20 For the creation was subjected to vanity, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope,
21 because the creation itself also will be freed from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
23 And not only so, but we ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
24 For in hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does anyone still hope for what he sees?
25 But if we hope for what we do not see, through endurance we await it.
26 And likewise the Spirit also helps us in our weaknesses; for we do not know what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings that cannot be uttered.
27 And he who searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because according to God he intercedes for the saints.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers;
30 and whom he predestined, these he also called; and whom he called, these he also justified; and whom he justified, these he also glorified.
31 What, then, shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
32 He who did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how will he not also with him freely give us all things?
33 Who will bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who justifies;
34 Who is the one who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was also raised, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 Even as it is written: "For your sake we are put to death all day long; we were reckoned as sheep for slaughter."
37 But in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,
39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
