1 There is therefore now no sentence of damnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of genuine and absolute fullness of Life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of straying from the Way that leads to Life and of death.
3 For what the Law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending His own Mature Son in the likeness of sinful flesh because of sin and condemned straying from the Way in the flesh,
4 so that the Righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us who don't walk directed by and drawn toward the flesh, but directed by and drawn toward the Spirit.
5 For those who are according to the flesh direct their minds toward the things of the flesh; but those who are according to the Spirit direct their minds toward the things of the Spirit.
6 For the flesh-controlled mind  is death, but the Spirit-controlled mind is genuine and absolute fullness of life and peace.
7 Because the flesh-controlled mind is hostile against God, for it is not subject to the Law of God neither can it be.
8 So then those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ, these are not His.
10 And, if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive with the genuine and absolute fullness of life because of Righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He Who raised up Christ from the dead shall also give life to your mortal bodies by His Spirit Who dwells in you.
12 Therefore, brothers, we don't owe a debt to the flesh to live directed by and drawn toward the flesh.
13 For if you live directed by and drawn toward the flesh, you shall die. But if you, through the Spirit, put the deeds of the body to death, you shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the mature sons of God.
15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage again into fear; but you have received the Spirit of mature sonship, by which we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit Himself bears 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 we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified together.
18 For I realize that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be unveiled into us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the unveiling of the mature sons of God.
20 For the creation was made subject to frailty, not willingly, but by reason of Him who has subjected the same in divine expectation,
21 Because the creation 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 groans and travails in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the placing of mature sons into ruling authority, which is the release from bondage of our body.
24 For we are saved by divinely inspired expectation, but divinely inspired expectation that is seen is not divinely inspired expectation, for what a person sees, why would that person yet have divinely inspired expectation for it?
25 But if we have divinely inspired expectation for what we don't see, then we wait for it with patience.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don't know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit, Himself, makes intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered.
27 And He Who searches the innermost minds knows what the Mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things are working together progressing into goodness in those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
29 For those whom He knew before, He also appointed ahead of time to be conformed to the Image of His Mature Son so that He might be the firstborn among many siblings.
30 But whom He appointed ahead of time, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified.
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 He who spared not His Own Mature 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 of God's elect? It is God Who justifies.
34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ that died, yes rather, that is risen again, Who is even at the Right Hand of God, Who also makes 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 your sake we are killed all the day long; we are understood to be sheep for the slaughter.
37 no, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him Who loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor genuine and absolute fullness of 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.
