Romans 8:11-25

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹¹ And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised up the Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.

¹² Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

¹³ For if ye live according to the flesh, ye shall die; but if through the Spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

¹⁴ For all that are led by the Spirit of God, the same are sons of God.

¹⁵ For ye have not received the spirit of slavery to be in fear again, but ye have received the Spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

¹⁶ For the same Spirit bears witness unto our spirit that we are sons of God,

¹⁷ ¶ and if sons, also heirs certainly of God and joint-heirs with Christ, if so be that we suffer with him that we may be also glorified together with him.

¹⁸ For I know with certainty that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the coming glory which shall be manifested in us.

¹⁹ For the earnest hope of the creatures waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.

²⁰ For the creatures were subjected to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who has subjected them,

²¹ with the hope that the same creatures shall be delivered from the slavery of corruption into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.

²² For we now know that all the creatures groan together and travail in pain together until now.

²³ And not only they, but ourselves also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, that is to say, the redemption of our body.

²⁴ For in hope we are saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for what a man sees, he does not wait for.

²⁵ But if we wait for that which we do not see, with patience we wait for it.
