Joel 2:28-32

New American Standard Bible

The Promise of the Spirit

²⁸“^[a]^(A)It will come about after this
That I will ^(B)pour out My Spirit on all ^[b]^(C)mankind;
And your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
Your old men will have dreams,
Your young men will see visions.
²⁹And even on the ^(D)male and female servants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days.

The Day of the Lord

³⁰I will ^[c]^(E)display wonders in the sky and on the earth,
Blood, fire, and columns of smoke.
³¹The ^(F)sun will be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the ^(G)great and awesome day of the Lord comes.
³²And it will come about that ^(H)everyone who calls on the name of the Lord
Will ^[d]be saved;
For ^(I)on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
There will be those who ^(J)escape,
Just as the Lord has said,
Even among the ^(K)survivors whom the Lord calls.

Deliverance from Bondage

8 Therefore there is now no ^(A)condemnation at all for those who are ^(B)in ^(C)Christ Jesus. ²For ^(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. ³For ^(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, ⁴so that the ^(J)requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us who ^(K)do not walk ^[d]according to the flesh but ^[e]according to the Spirit. ⁵For those who are in accord with the flesh set their minds on ^(L)the things of the flesh, but those who are in accord with the Spirit, ^(M)the things of the Spirit. ⁶^(N)For the mind ^[f]set on the flesh is ^(O)death, but the mind ^[g]set on the Spirit is life and peace, ⁷because the mind ^[h]set on the flesh is ^(P)hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, ⁸and those who are ^(Q)in the flesh cannot please God.

⁹However, 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)If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is ^[i]alive because of righteousness. ¹¹But 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 ^[j]through His Spirit who dwells in you.

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