Free from Indwelling Sin
Salvation from Sin, Death, and Suffering
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:1 - There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus,[fn] who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
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 could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:4 - that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:5 - For 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:6 - For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:7 - Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:8 - So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:9 - But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not 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 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.
Sonship Through the Spirit
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:12 - Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:13 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:14 - For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:15 - For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:16 - The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:17 - and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
From Suffering to Glory
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:18 - For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:19 - For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:20 - For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:21 - because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:22 - For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:23 - Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:24 - For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:25 - But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:26 - Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us[fn] with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:27 - Now 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:29 - For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:30 - Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
God’s Everlasting Love
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:31 - What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:32 - He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:33 - Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:34 - Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:35 - Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:36 - As it is written:

“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:37 - Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:38 - For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 8:39 - nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
