Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:2 - For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:3 - For what the law was not able to do because it was feeble through the flesh, God, sending his Son in the image of the evil flesh, and as an offering for sin, gave his decision against sin in the flesh:
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:4 - So that what was ordered by the law might be done in us, who are living, not in the way of the flesh, but in the way of the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:5 - For those who are living in the way of the flesh give their minds to the things of the flesh, but those who go in the way of the Spirit, to the things of the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:6 - For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:7 - Because the mind of the flesh is opposite to God; it is not under the law of God, and is not able to be:
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:8 - So that those who are in the flesh are not able to give pleasure to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:9 - You are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God is in you. But if any man has not the Spirit of Christ he is not one of his.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:10 - And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:11 - But if the Spirit of him who made Jesus come again from the dead is in you, he who made Christ Jesus come again from the dead will in the same way, through his Spirit which is in you, give life to your bodies which now are under the power of death.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:12 - So then, my brothers, we are in debt, not to the flesh to be living in the way of the flesh:
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:13 - For if you go in the way of the flesh, death will come on you; but if by the Spirit you put to death the works of the body, you will have life.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:14 - And all those who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:15 - For you did not get the spirit of servants again to put you in fear, but the spirit of sons was given to you, by which we say, Abba, Father.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:16 - The Spirit is witness with our spirit that we are children of God:
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:17 - And if we are children, we have a right to a part in the heritage; a part in the things of God, together with Christ; so that if we have a part in his pain, we will in the same way have a part in his glory.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:18 - I am of the opinion that there is no comparison between the pain of this present time and the glory which we will see in the future.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:19 - For the strong desire of every living thing is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:20 - For every living thing was put under the power of change, not by its desire, but by him who made it so, in hope
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:21 - That all living things will be made free from the power of death and will have a part with the free children of God in glory.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:22 - For we are conscious that all living things are weeping and sorrowing in pain together till now.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:23 - And not only so, but we who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we have sorrow in our minds, waiting for the time when we will take our place as sons, that is, the salvation of our bodies.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:24 - For our salvation is by hope: but hope which is seen is not hope: for who is hoping for what he sees?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:25 - But if we have hope for that which we see not, then we will be able to go on waiting for it.

Our Victory in Christ

Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:26 - And in the same way the Spirit is a help to our feeble hearts: for we are not able to make prayer to God in the right way; but the Spirit puts our desires into words which are not in our power to say;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:27 - And he who is the searcher of hearts has knowledge of the mind of the Spirit, because he is making prayers for the saints in agreement with the mind of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:28 - And we are conscious that all things are working together for good to those who have love for God, and have been marked out by his purpose.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:29 - Because those of whom he had knowledge before they came into existence, were marked out by him to be made like his Son, so that he might be the first among a band of brothers:
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:30 - And those who were marked out by him were named; and those who were named were given righteousness; and to those to whom he gave righteousness, in the same way he gave glory.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:31 - What may we say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:32 - He who did not keep back his only Son, but gave him up for us all, will he not with him freely give us all things?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:33 - Who will say anything against the saints of God? It is God who makes us clear from evil;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:34 - Who will give a decision against us? It is Christ Jesus who not only was put to death, but came again from the dead, who is now at the right hand of God, taking our part.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:35 - Who will come between us and the love of Christ? Will trouble, or pain, or cruel acts, or the need of food or of clothing, or danger, or the sword?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:36 - As it is said in the holy Writings, Because of you we are put to death every day; we are like sheep ready for destruction.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:37 - But we are able to overcome all these things and more through his love.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:38 - For I am certain that not death, or life, or angels, or rulers, or things present, or things to come, or powers,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:39 - Or things on high, or things under the earth, or anything which is made, will be able to come between us and the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
