For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

Our Victory in Christ

Now in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;

who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, but rather, was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or trouble, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Deep Concern for Israel

I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying; my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit,

For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my countrymen, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.

For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

But the righteousness based on faith speaks as follows: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will go up into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down),

or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).”

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually parts of one another.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.

For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

For if because of food your brother or sister is hurt, you are no longer walking in accordance with love. Do not destroy with your choice of food that person for whom Christ died.

For the one who serves Christ in this way is acceptable to God and approved by other people.

For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: “The taunts of those who taunt You have fallen on Me.”

Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another, according to Christ Jesus,

so that with one purpose and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us, for the glory of God.
