New Testament in a Year

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.
