Deliverance from Bondage

Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

1

No Condemnation in Christ

[There is] then now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus.

2

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

2

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

3

For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,

3

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, having sent his own Son, in likeness of flesh of sin, and for sin, has condemned sin in the flesh,

4

so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

4

in order that the righteous requirement of the law should be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to flesh but according to Spirit.

5

For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

5

For they that are according to flesh mind the things of the flesh; and they that are according to Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

6

For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,

6

For the mind of the flesh [is] death; but the mind of the Spirit life and peace.

7

because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so,

7

Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God; for neither indeed can it be:

8

and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

8

and they that are in flesh cannot please God.

9

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.

9

Control by the Spirit

But *ye* are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed God's Spirit dwell in you; but if any one has not [the] Spirit of Christ *he* is not of him:

10

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

10

but if Christ be in you, the body is dead on account of sin, but the Spirit life on account of righteousness.

11

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.

11

But if the Spirit of him that has raised up Jesus from among [the] dead dwell in you, he that has raised up Christ from among [the] dead shall quicken your mortal bodies also on account of his Spirit which dwells in you.

12

So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh —

12

Heirs with Christ

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

13

for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

13

for if ye live according to flesh, ye are about to die; but if, by the Spirit, ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live:

14

For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

14

for as many as are led by [the] Spirit of God, *these* are sons of God.

15

For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!”

15

For ye have not received a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye have received a spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

16

The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,

16

The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God.

17

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.

17

And if children, heirs also: heirs of God, and Christ's joint heirs; if indeed we suffer with [him], that we may also be glorified with [him].

18

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

18

Future Glory

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy [to be compared] with the coming glory to be revealed to us.

19

For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.

19

For the anxious looking out of the creature expects the revelation of the sons of God:

20

For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope

20

for the creature has been made subject to vanity, not of its will, but by reason of him who has subjected [the same], in hope

21

that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

21

that the creature itself also shall be set free from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

22

For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.

22

For we know that the whole creation groans together and travails in pain together until now.

23

And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.

23

And not only [that], but even *we* ourselves, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, we also ourselves groan in ourselves, awaiting adoption, [that is] the redemption of our body.

24

For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees?

24

For we have been saved in hope; but hope seen is not hope; for what any one sees, why does he also hope?

25

But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

25

But if what we see not we hope, we expect in patience.

26

Our Victory in Christ

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

26

And in like manner the Spirit joins also its help to our weakness; for we do not know what we should pray for as is fitting, but the Spirit itself makes intercession with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27

and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

27

But he who searches the hearts knows what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for saints according to God.

28

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

28

God Works In All Things

But we *do* know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to purpose.

29

For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;

29

Because whom he has foreknown, he has also predestinated [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, so that he should be [the] firstborn among many brethren.

30

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

30

But whom he has predestinated, these also he has called; and whom he has called, these also he has justified; but whom he has justified, these also he has glorified.

31

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

31

What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who against us?

32

He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

32

He who, yea, has not spared his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him grant us all things?

33

Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies;

33

Who shall bring an accusation against God's elect? [It is] God who justifies:

34

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

34

who is he that condemns? [It is] Christ who has died, but rather has been [also] raised up; who is also at the right hand of God; who also intercedes for us.

35

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

35

More than Conquerors

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? tribulation or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

36

Just as it is written,
“FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG;
WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED.”

36

According as it is written, For thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we have been reckoned as sheep for slaughter.

37

But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.

37

But in all these things we more than conquer through him that has loved us.

38

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

38

For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

39

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

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.
