Romans 8:5-25

⁵For they that are according to the flesh, do mind the things of the flesh: but they that are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

⁶For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace:

⁷Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

⁸So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

⁹But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. Now if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is not 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 Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised Christ from the dead will also revive your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

¹²Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

¹³For if ye live according to the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

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

¹⁵For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father.

¹⁶The Spirit itself testifieth with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

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

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

¹⁹For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

²⁰For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope:

²¹Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption, into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

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

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

²⁴For we are saved by hope: But hope that is seen, is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

²⁵But if we hope for what we see not, then with patience we wait for it .
