Romans 8:5-24

⁵For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

⁶For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:

⁷because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be:

⁸and they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

⁹But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

¹⁰And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness.

¹¹But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

¹²So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh:

¹³for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

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

¹⁵For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

¹⁶The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:

¹⁷and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.

¹⁸For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward.

¹⁹For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God.

²⁰For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope

²¹that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

²²For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

²³And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

²⁴For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth?
