1 Therefore there is now no ARom 5:16; 8:34condemnation for those who are BRom 8:9fin CRom 8:2, 11, 39; 16:3Christ Jesus. 2 For A1 Cor 15:45the law of the Spirit of life 1Or has set you free in Christ Jesusin BRom 8:1, 11, 39; 16:3Christ Jesus CJohn 8:32, 36; Rom 6:14, 18; 7:4has set you free from the law of sin and of death. 3 For AActs 13:39; Heb 10:1ffwhat the Law could not do, 1Lit in which it was weakBRom 7:18f; Heb 7:18weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in CPhil 2:7; Heb 2:14, 17; 4:15the likeness of 2Lit flesh of sinsinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 so that the ALuke 1:6; Rom 2:26requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who BGal 5:16, 25do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on AGal 5:19-21the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, BGal 5:22-25the things of the Spirit. 6 AGal 6:8For the mind set on the flesh is BRom 6:21; 8:13death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, 7 because the mind set on the flesh is AJames 4:4hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, 8 and those who are ARom 7:5in the flesh cannot please God.

9 However, you are not ARom 7:5in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God BJohn 14:23; Rom 8:11; 1 Cor 3:16; 6:19; 2 Cor 6:16; Gal 4:6; Phil 1:19; 2 Tim 1:14; 1 John 4:13dwells in you. But CJohn 14:17if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. 10 AJohn 17:23; Gal 2:20; Eph 3:17; Col 1:27If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is 1Lit lifealive because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of Him who AActs 2:24; Rom 6:4raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, BJohn 5:21He who raised CRom 8:1, 2, 39; 16:3Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies 1One early ms reads because ofthrough His Spirit who dwells in you.

12 So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— 13 for ARom 8:6if you are living according to the flesh, you 1Or are going tomust die; but if by the Spirit you are BCol 3:5putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are AGal 5:18being led by the Spirit of God, these are BHos 1:10; Matt 5:9; John 1:12; Rom 8:16, 19; 9:8, 26; 2 Cor 6:18; Gal 3:26; 1 John 3:1; Rev 21:7sons of God. 15 For you A2 Tim 1:7; Heb 2:15have not received a spirit of slavery 1Lit for fear againleading to fear again, but you BRom 8:23; Gal 4:5fhave received 2Or the Spirita spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “CMark 14:36; Gal 4:6Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit Himself AActs 5:32testifies with our spirit that we are BHos 1:10; Matt 5:9; John 1:12; Rom 8:14, 19; 9:8, 26; 2 Cor 6:18; Gal 3:26; 1 John 3:1; Rev 21:7children of God, 17 and if children, AActs 20:32; Gal 3:29; 4:7; Eph 3:6; Titus 3:7; Heb 1:14; Rev 21:7heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, B2 Cor 1:5, 7; Phil 3:10; Col 1:24; 2 Tim 2:12; 1 Pet 4:13if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time A2 Cor 4:17; 1 Pet 4:13are not worthy to be compared with the BCol 3:4; Titus 2:13; 1 Pet 1:5; 5:1glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the APhil 1:20anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for BRom 8:18; 1 Cor 1:7f; Col 3:4; 1 Pet 1:7, 13; 1 John 3:2the revealing of the CHos 1:10; Matt 5:9; John 1:12; Rom 8:14, 16; 9:8, 26; 2 Cor 6:18; Gal 3:26; 1 John 3:1; Rev 21:7sons of God. 20 For the creation AGen 3:17-19was subjected to BPs 39:5f; Eccl 1:2futility, not willingly, but CGen 3:17; 5:29because of Him who subjected it, 1Or in hope; because the creationin hope 21 that AActs 3:21; 2 Pet 3:13; Rev 21:1the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation AJer 12:4, 11groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. 23 ARom 5:3And not only this, but also we ourselves, having BRom 8:16; 2 Cor 1:22the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves C2 Cor 5:2, 4groan within ourselves, DRom 8:15, 19, 25; Gal 5:5waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, ERom 7:24the redemption of our body. 24 For ARom 8:20; 1 Thess 5:8; Titus 3:7in hope we have been saved, but BRom 4:18; 2 Cor 5:7; Heb 11:1hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? 25 But A1 Thess 1:3if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for AMatt 20:22; 2 Cor 12:8we do not know how to pray as we should, but BJohn 14:16; Rom 8:15f; Eph 6:18the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; 27 and APs 139:1f; Luke 16:15; Acts 1:24; Rev 2:23He who searches the hearts knows what BRom 8:6the mind of the Spirit is, because He CRom 8:34intercedes for the 1Or holy onessaints according to the will of God.

28 And we know that 1One early ms reads all things work together for goodGod causes ARom 8:32all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are BRom 8:30; 9:24; 11:29; 1 Cor 1:9; Gal 1:6, 15; 5:8; Eph 1:11; 3:11; 2 Thess 2:14; Heb 9:15; 1 Pet 2:9; 3:9called according to His purpose. 29 For those whom He ARom 11:2; 1 Cor 8:3; 2 Tim 1:9; 1 Pet 1:2, 20foreknew, He also BRom 9:23; 1 Cor 2:7; Eph 1:5, 11predestined to become C1 Cor 15:49; Phil 3:21conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the DCol 1:18; Heb 1:6firstborn among many brethren; 30 and these whom He ARom 9:23; 11:29; 1 Cor 2:7; Eph 1:5, 11predestined, He also BRom 8:28; 9:24; 1 Cor 1:9; Gal 1:6, 15; 5:8; Eph 1:11; 3:11; 2 Thess 2:14; Heb 9:15; 1 Pet 2:9; 3:9called; and these whom He called, He also C1 Cor 6:11justified; and these whom He justified, He also DJohn 17:22; Rom 8:21; 9:23glorified.

31 ARom 3:5; 4:1What then shall we say to these things? BPs 118:6; Matt 1:23If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who AJohn 3:16; Rom 5:8did not spare His own Son, but BRom 4:25delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? 33 Who will bring a charge against ALuke 18:7God’s elect? BIs 50:8fGod is the one who justifies; 34 who is the one who ARom 8:1condemns? Christ Jesus is He who BRom 5:6fdied, yes, rather who was 1One early ms reads raised from the deadCActs 2:24raised, who is DMark 16:19at the right hand of God, who also ERom 8:27; Heb 7:25intercedes for us. 35 Who will separate us from ARom 8:37fthe love of 1Two early mss read GodChrist? Will BRom 2:9; 2 Cor 4:8tribulation, or distress, or C1 Cor 4:11; 2 Cor 11:26fpersecution, or C1 Cor 4:11; 2 Cor 11:26ffamine, or C1 Cor 4:11; 2 Cor 11:26fnakedness, or C1 Cor 4:11; 2 Cor 11:26fperil, or sword? 36 Just as it is written,
