Romans 8

1There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Messiah Yeshua. 2For the law of the Spirit of life in Messiah Yeshua made me free from the law of sin and of death. 3For what the Torah 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: 4that the ordinance of the Torah might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 5For 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. 6For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace: 7because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the Torah of God, neither indeed can it be: 8and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man does not have the Spirit of Messiah, he is not his. 10And if Messiah is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness. 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 shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you. 12So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh: 13for if you live according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live. 14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you received the spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father. 16The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God: 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. 18For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us. 19For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope 21that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. 22For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now. 23And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, that is, the redemption of our body. 24For in hope we were saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopes for that which he sees? 25But if we hope for that which we do not see, then with patience we wait for it. 26And in like manner the Spirit also helps our weakness: for we do not know how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered; 27and he who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 28And we know that to those who love God all things work together for good, even to those who are called according to his purpose. 29For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers: 30and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32He who did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things? 33Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? It is God who justifies; 34who is he who condemns? It is Messiah Yeshua who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Messiah? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36Even as it is written, For your sake we are killed all the day long; We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
