Romans 8 — WMB
8Verse 1There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Messiah Yeshua, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.+Verse 2For the law of the Spirit of life in Messiah Yeshua made me free from the law of sin and of death.Verse 3For what the law couldn’t 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,Verse 4that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.Verse 5For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.Verse 6For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;Verse 7because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward God, for it is not subject to God’s Torah, neither indeed can it be.Verse 8Those who are in the flesh can’t please God.Verse 9But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Messiah, he is not his.Verse 10If Messiah is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.Verse 11But if the Spirit of him who raised up Yeshua from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Messiah Yeshua from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.Verse 12So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.Verse 13For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.Verse 14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.Verse 15For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba!+Father!”Verse 16The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;Verse 17and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Messiah, if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.Verse 18For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.Verse 19For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.Verse 20For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hopeVerse 21that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.Verse 22For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.Verse 23Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.Verse 24For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?Verse 25But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.Verse 26In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.Verse 27He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the holy ones according to God.Verse 28We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.Verse 29For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.+Verse 30Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.Verse 31What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?Verse 32He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?Verse 33Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies.Verse 34Who is he who condemns? It is Messiah who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.Verse 35Who shall separate us from the love of Messiah? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?Verse 36Even as it is written,“For your sake we are killed all day long.We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”Verse 37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.Verse 38For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,Verse 39nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God’s love which is in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
