The Spirit of God Dwells in You

8 Therefore there is now no ^(A)condemnation for those who are ^(B)in ^(C)Christ Jesus. ² For ^(D)the law of the Spirit of life ^[a]in ^(E)Christ Jesus ^(F)has set you free from the law of sin and of death. ³ For ^(G)what the Law could not do, ^[b](H)weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in ^(I)the likeness of ^[c]sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, ⁴ so that the ^(J)righteous requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who ^(K)do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. ⁵ For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on ^(L)the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, ^(M)the things of the Spirit. ^6 (N)For the mind set on the flesh is ^(O)death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, ⁷ because the mind set on the flesh is at ^(P)enmity 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 ^(Q)in the flesh are not able to please God.

⁹ However, you are not ^(R)in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God ^(S)dwells in you. But ^(T)if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. ^10 (U)But if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is ^[d]alive because of righteousness. ¹¹ But if the Spirit of Him who ^(V)raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, ^(W)He who raised ^(X)Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies ^[e]through His Spirit who dwells in you.

¹² So then, brothers, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— ¹³ for ^(Y)if you are living according to the flesh, you ^[f]must die, but if by the Spirit you are ^(Z)putting to death the ^(AA)practices of the body, you will live. ¹⁴ For as many as are ^(AB)being led by the Spirit of God, these are ^(AC)sons of God. ¹⁵ For you ^(AD)have not received a spirit of slavery ^[g]leading to fear again, but you ^(AE)have received the Spirit of adoption as sons by whom we cry out, “^(AF)Abba! Father!” ¹⁶ The Spirit Himself ^(AG)testifies with our spirit that we are ^(AH)children of God, ¹⁷ and if children, also ^(AI)heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, ^(AJ)if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

Present Suffering and Future Glory

¹⁸ For I consider that the sufferings of this present time ^(AK)are not worthy to be compared with the ^(AL)glory that is to be revealed to us. ¹⁹ For the ^(AM)anxious longing of the creation eagerly waits for ^(AN)the revealing of the ^(AO)sons of God. ²⁰ For the creation ^(AP)was subjected to ^(AQ)futility, not willingly, but ^(AR)because of Him who subjected it, in hope ^21 [h]that ^(AS)the 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 ^(AT)groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. ^23 (AU)And not only this, but also we ourselves, having ^(AV)the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves ^(AW)groan within ourselves, ^(AX)eagerly waiting for our adoption as sons, ^(AY)the redemption of our body. ²⁴ For ^(AZ)in hope we were saved, but ^(BA)hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what he already sees? ²⁵ But ^(BB)if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we eagerly wait for it.

²⁶ And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness, for ^(BC)we do not know how to pray as we should, but ^(BD)the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; ²⁷ and ^(BE)He who searches the hearts knows what ^(BF)the mind of the Spirit is, because He ^(BG)intercedes for the ^[i]saints according to the will of God.

²⁸ And we know that for those who love God ^[j](BH)all things work together for good, for those who are ^(BI)called according to His purpose. ²⁹ Because those whom He ^(BJ)foreknew, He also ^(BK)predestined to become ^(BL)conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the ^(BM)firstborn among many brothers; ³⁰ and those whom He ^(BN)predestined, He also ^(BO)called; and those whom He called, He also ^(BP)justified; and those whom He justified, He also ^(BQ)glorified.

God Is for Us

^31 (BR)What then shall we say to these things? ^(BS)If God is for us, who is against us? ³² He who indeed ^(BT)did not spare His own Son, but ^(BU)delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him graciously give us all things? ³³ Who will bring a charge against ^(BV)God’s elect? ^(BW)God is the one who justifies; ³⁴ who is the one who ^(BX)condemns? Christ Jesus is He who ^(BY)died, yes, rather who was ^[k](BZ)raised, who is ^(CA)at the right hand of God, who also ^(CB)intercedes for us. ³⁵ Who will separate us from ^(CC)the love of ^[l]Christ? Will ^(CD)affliction, or turmoil, or ^(CE)persecution, or ^(CF)famine, or ^(CG)nakedness, or ^(CH)peril, or sword? ³⁶ Just as it is written,

³⁷ But in all these things we overwhelmingly ^(CJ)conquer through ^(CK)Him who loved us. ³⁸ For I am convinced that neither ^(CL)death, nor life, nor ^(CM)angels, nor rulers, nor ^(CN)things present, nor things to come, nor powers, ³⁹ nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from ^(CO)the love of God, which is ^(CP)in Christ Jesus our Lord.
