¹Therefore now no condemnation to those in the Anointed One Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the spirit.

²For the law of the Spirit of life in the Anointed One Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

³For the law being powerless, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, having sent His own Son in the likeness of the flesh of sin and for sin, condemned the sin in the flesh,

⁴so that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

⁵For those who are according to the flesh mind the things of the flesh, but those according to the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

⁶For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and wholeness.

⁷Because the mind of the flesh is hostility toward God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor even can it be;

⁸now those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.

⁹Now you yourselves are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone has not the Spirit of the Anointed One, he is not his.

¹⁰Now if the Anointed One is in you, the body indeed is dead on account of sin, but the Spirit is life on account of righteousness.

¹¹Now if the Spirit of the One who raised up Jesus out from the dead dwells in you, the One who raised up the Anointed One Jesus out from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies on account of the dwelling of His Spirit in you.

¹²So then, brothers, we are debtors not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh;

¹³for if you live according to the flesh, you are about to die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

¹⁴For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

¹⁵For you have not received a spirit of bondage again to fear, but you have received the Spirit of divine adoption as sons, by whom we cry, Abba, O Father!

¹⁶The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.

¹⁷Now if children, also heirs; heirs indeed of God, joint-heirs of the Anointed One; if indeed we suffer with Him, so that also we shall be glorified together.

¹⁸For I reckon that the sufferings of the present appointed-time are not comparable to the glory about to be revealed to us.

¹⁹For the earnest expectation of the creation awaits the revelation of the sons of God;

²⁰for the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly but because of the One who subjected it, in hope

²¹that also the creation itself will be set free from the bondage of decay into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

²²For we know that all the creation groans together and travails together until now;

²³and not only so, but even ourselves, having the firstfruit of the Spirit, we ourselves also groan in ourselves, awaiting the divine adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.

²⁴For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does anyone also hope for what he sees?

²⁵But if we hope for what we do not see, in patience we await it.

²⁶Now in the same way the Spirit also joins in to help our weakness; for we do not know what we should pray for as is needful, but the Spirit itself intercedes on our behalf with inexpressible groanings;

²⁷and the One searching the hearts knows what is the mindset of the Spirit, because according to God He intercedes for the holy ones.

²⁸Now we know that to those who love God, God works all things together for good, to those being called according to His purpose.

²⁹For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, for Him to be firstborn among many brothers;

³⁰then those whom He predestined, these He also called; and whom He called, these He also justified; then whom He justified, these He also glorified.

³¹What then will we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

³²He who indeed did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how surely also will He grant us all things with Him?

³³Who will bring an accusation against the chosen of God? God is the one who justifies;

³⁴Who is the one who condemns? It is the Anointed One Jesus, the one who died, and more than that, was raised from the dead, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

³⁵Who will separate us from the love of the Anointed One? Tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

³⁶Even as it has been written: For your sake we are being put to death all day long, we were regarded as sheep of slaughter.

³⁷But in all these things we more than conquer through the One who loved us;

³⁸for I have been persuaded that neither death nor life nor messengers nor principalities nor things present nor things to come nor powers

³⁹nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in the Anointed One Jesus our Lord.
