Mounce Reverse Interlinear New Testament
8 There is therefore ara now nyn no oudeis condemnation katakrima for those ho who are in en Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous. 2 For gar the ho law nomos of the ho Spirit pneuma of ho life zōē in en Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous has set you sy free eleutheroō from apo the ho law nomos of ho sin hamartia and kai of ho death thanatos. 3 For gar what ho the ho law nomos could not do adynatos, weak astheneō as it was through dia the ho flesh sarx, · ho God theos, by sending pempō · ho his heautou own Son hyios in en the likeness homoiōma of sinful hamartia flesh sarx and kai as peri a sin hamartia offering , condemned katakrinō · ho sin hamartia in en the ho flesh sarx, 4 so hina that the ho righteous dikaiōma requirement of the ho law nomos might be fulfilled plēroō in en us hēmeis, who ho do peripateō not mē walk peripateō according kata to the flesh sarx but alla according kata to the Spirit pneuma. 5 For gar those ho who live eimi according kata to the flesh sarx have set their minds phroneō on the ho things of the ho flesh sarx, but de those ho who live according kata to the Spirit pneuma have set their minds on the ho things of the ho Spirit pneuma. 6 To set the ho mind phronēma on the ho flesh sarx leads to death thanatos, but to set the ho · de mind phronēma on the ho Spirit pneuma brings life zōē and kai peace eirēnē, 7 because dioti the ho mind phronēma set on the ho flesh sarx is hostile echthra to eis God theos; it does hypotassō not ou submit hypotassō to the ho law nomos of ho God theos; in fact gar, it is not oude even able dynamai to do so. 8 Those ho · de controlled eimi by en the flesh sarx are dynamai not ou able dynamai to please areskō God theos. 9 You hymeis, however de, are eimi not ou controlled by en the flesh sarx but alla by en the Spirit pneuma, if eiper indeed the Spirit pneuma of God theos lives oikeō in en you hymeis. · de Whoever tis does echō not ou have echō the Spirit pneuma of Christ Christos does not ou belong eimi to him autos. 10 But de if ei Christ Christos is in en you hymeis, although men the ho body sōma is dead nekros because dia of sin hamartia, the ho · de Spirit pneuma is life zōē because dia of righteousness dikaiosynē. 11 But de if ei the ho Spirit pneuma of ho him who raised egeirō · ho Jesus Iēsous from ek the dead nekros lives oikeō in en you hymeis, the ho one who raised egeirō Christ Christos Jesus from ek the dead nekros will also kai give zōiopoieō life to · ho your hymeis mortal thnētos bodies sōma through dia his autos Spirit pneuma who ho lives enoikeō in en you hymeis. 12 So ara then oun, brethren adelphos, we are eimi debtors opheiletēs, not ou to the ho flesh sarx, to live zaō according kata to the flesh sarx, 13 for gar if ei you live zaō according kata to the flesh sarx, you will certainly mellō die apothnēskō; but de if ei by the Spirit pneuma you put to death thanatoō the ho deeds praxis of the ho body sōma, you will live zaō. 14 For gar it is those hosos who are led agō by the Spirit pneuma of God theos who houtos are eimi the sons hyios of God theos. 15 For gar you did not ou receive lambanō the spirit pneuma of slavery douleia leading back palin to eis fear phobos, but alla you received lambanō the Spirit pneuma of adoption hyiothesia. By en him hos we cry out krazō, “ Abba abba! · ho Father patēr!” 16 The ho Spirit pneuma himself autos bears symmartyreō witness with · ho our hēmeis spirit pneuma that hoti we are eimi children teknon of God theos, 17 and de if ei children teknon, then kai heirs klēronomos, heirs klēronomos of God theos and de fellow heirs synklēronomos with Christ Christos, provided eiper we suffer sympaschō with him so hina that we may also kai be glorified syndoxazō with him.
18 For gar I consider logizomai that hoti the ho sufferings pathēma of this ho present nyn time kairos are not ou worth axios comparing with pros the ho glory doxa that will mellō be revealed apokalyptō to eis us hēmeis. 19 · ho For gar the ho creation ktisis eagerly apokaradokia waits apekdechomai for the ho revealing apokalypsis of the ho sons hyios of ho God theos. 20 For gar the ho creation ktisis was subjected hypotassō to ho futility mataiotēs, not ou of its own choosing hekōn, but alla because dia of him ho who subjected hypotassō it, in epi hope elpis 21 that hoti · kai the ho creation ktisis itself autos will be set eleutheroō free from apo its ho bondage douleia to ho decay phthora into eis the ho glorious doxa freedom eleutheria · ho of the ho children teknon of ho God theos. 22 For gar we know oida that hoti the ho entire pas creation ktisis has been groaning systenazō and kai suffering synōdinō together up achri to the ho present nyn hour. 23 And de not ou only monon this, but alla · kai we stenazō ourselves autos, who have echō the ho first aparchē fruits of the ho Spirit pneuma, groan stenazō inwardly en as we hēmeis · kai eagerly await apekdechomai our adoption hyiothesia, the ho redemption apolytrōsis of ho our hēmeis bodies sōma. 24 For gar in this ho hope elpis we were saved sōzō. Now de hope elpis that is seen blepō is eimi not ou hope elpis, for gar who tis hopes for elpizō what hos he sees blepō? 25 But de if ei we hope for elpizō what hos we do not ou see blepō, we wait for apekdechomai it with dia patience hypomonē. 26 In the same hōsautōs way , · de · kai the ho Spirit pneuma helps synantilambanomai us in ho our hēmeis weakness astheneia; · ho for gar we do oida not ou know oida how tis to pray proseuchomai as katho we ought dei, but alla the ho Spirit pneuma himself autos intercedes hyperentynchanō for us with groanings stenagmos too deep for words alalētos. 27 · ho And de God, who searches eraunaō our ho hearts kardia, knows oida the ho desire phronēma of the ho Spirit pneuma, because hoti the Spirit intercedes entynchanō for hyper the saints hagios according kata to the will of God theos. 28 And de we know oida that hoti all things pas work together synergeō for eis good agathos for those ho who love agapaō · ho God theos, for those ho who are eimi called klētos according kata to his purpose prothesis, 29 because hoti those hos he foreknew proginōskō he also kai predestined proorizō to become conformed symmorphos to the ho image eikōn of ho his autos Son hyios, that eis he autos might be eimi the firstborn prōtotokos among en many polys brethren adelphos. 30 And de those hos he predestined proorizō, these houtos he also kai called kaleō; and kai those hos he called kaleō, these houtos he also kai justified dikaioō; and de those hos he justified dikaioō, these houtos he also kai glorified doxazō.
31 What tis then oun shall we say legō in response to pros these houtos things ? If ei · ho God theos is for hyper us hēmeis, who tis can be against kata us hēmeis? 32 He pheidomai who hos did pheidomai not ou spare pheidomai · ho his idios own Son hyios, but alla delivered paradidōmi him autos up paradidōmi for hyper us hēmeis all pas, how pōs will he charizomai not ouchi also kai, along with syn him autos, graciously give charizomai us hēmeis · ho all pas things ? 33 Who tis will bring a charge enkaleō against kata God’ s theos elect eklektos? It is God theos who ho justifies dikaioō. 34 Who tis is it that ho condemns katakrinō? Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous is the ho one who died apothnēskō— and de more mallon than that, he was raised egeirō— who hos · kai is eimi at en the right dexios hand of ho God theos, who hos also kai is interceding entynchanō for hyper us hēmeis. 35 Who tis can separate chōrizō us hēmeis from apo the ho love agapē of ho Christ Christos?

God’s Spirit Makes Us His Children
8 So those who are believers in Christ Yeshua can no longer be condemned. 2 The standards of the Spirit, who gives life through Christ Yeshua, have set you free from the standards of sin and death. 3 It is impossible to do what God’s standards demand because of the weakness our human nature has. But God sent his Son to have a human nature as sinners have and to pay for sin. That way God condemned sin in our corrupt nature. 4 Therefore, we, who do not live by our corrupt nature but by our spiritual nature, are able to meet God’s standards in Moses’ Teachings.
5 Those who live by the corrupt nature have the corrupt nature’s attitude. But those who live by the spiritual nature have the spiritual nature’s attitude. 6 The corrupt nature’s attitude leads to death. But the spiritual nature’s attitude leads to life and peace. 7 This is so because the corrupt nature has a hostile attitude toward God. It refuses to place itself under the authority of God’s standards because it can’t. 8 Those who are under the control of the corrupt nature can’t please God. 9 But if God’s Spirit lives in you, you are under the control of your spiritual nature, not your corrupt nature.
Whoever doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ doesn’t belong to him. 10 However, if Christ lives in you, your bodies are dead because of sin, but your spirits are alive because you have God’s approval. 11 Does the Spirit of the one who brought Yeshua back to life live in you? Then the one who brought Christ back to life will also make your mortal bodies alive by his Spirit who lives in you.
12 So, brothers and sisters, we have no obligation to live the way our corrupt nature wants us to live. 13 If you live by your corrupt nature, you are going to die. But if you use your spiritual nature to put to death the evil activities of the body, you will live. 14 Certainly, all who are guided by God’s Spirit are God’s children. 15 You haven’t received the spirit of slaves that leads you into fear again. Instead, you have received the spirit of God’s adopted children by which we call out, “Abba![a] Father!” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 If we are his children, we are also God’s heirs. If we share in Christ’s suffering in order to share his glory, we are heirs together with him.
God’s Spirit Helps Us
18 I consider our present sufferings insignificant compared to the glory that will soon be revealed to us. 19 All creation is eagerly waiting for God to reveal who his children are. 20 Creation was subjected to frustration but not by its own choice. The one who subjected it to frustration did so in the hope 21 that it would also be set free from slavery to decay in order to share the glorious freedom that the children of God will have. 22 We know that all creation has been groaning with the pains of childbirth up to the present time.
23 However, not only creation groans. We, who have the Spirit as the first of God’s gifts, also groan inwardly. We groan as we eagerly wait for our adoption, the freeing of our bodies from sin. 24 We were saved with this hope in mind. If we hope for something we already see, it’s not really hope. Who hopes for what can be seen? 25 But if we hope for what we don’t see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
26 At the same time the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, because we don’t know how to pray for what we need. But the Spirit intercedes along with our groans that cannot be expressed in words. 27 The one who searches our hearts knows what the Spirit has in mind. The Spirit intercedes for God’s people the way God wants him to.
Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love
28 We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God—those whom he has called according to his plan. 29 This is true because he already knew his people and had already appointed them to have the same form as the image of his Son. Therefore, his Son is the firstborn among many children. 30 He also called those whom he had already appointed. He approved of those whom he had called, and he gave glory to those whom he had approved of.
31 What can we say about all of this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 God didn’t spare his own Son but handed him over to death for all of us. So he will also give us everything along with him. 33 Who will accuse those whom God has chosen? God has approved of them. 34 Who will condemn them? Christ has died, and more importantly, he was brought back to life. Christ has the highest position in heaven. Christ also intercedes for us. 35 What will separate us from the love Christ has for us? Can trouble, distress, persecution, hunger, nakedness, danger, or violent death separate us from his love? 36 As Scripture says:
“We are being killed all day long because of you.
We are thought of as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37 The one who loves us gives us an overwhelming victory in all these difficulties. 38 I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love which Christ Yeshua our Lord shows us.[b] We can’t be separated by death or life, by angels or rulers, by anything in the present or anything in the future, by forces 39 or powers in the world above or in the world below, or by anything else in creation.

Romans 8
21st Century King James Version
8 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh,
4 that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
5 For those who are according to the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace,
7 because the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so it be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth 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 ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, “Abba! Father!”
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God;
17 and if children, then heirs — heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if so it be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth 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, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope; but hope that is seen is not hope, for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for it?
25 But if we hope for that which we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities; for we know not what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
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.
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.
30 Moreover, whom He predestined, those He also called; and whom He called, those He also justified; and whom He justified, those He also glorified.
31 What then shall we say of these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay anything to the charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ who died, yea rather, who is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written: “For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
