Romans 8:5-25

⁵For they that be after the flesh, understand or savour those things that be of the flesh; but they that be after the Spirit, feel those things that be of the Spirit.

⁶For the prudence of flesh is death; but the prudence of Spirit is life and peace.

⁷For the wisdom of the flesh is enemy to God; for it is not subject to the law of God, for neither it may be subject to the law.

⁸And they that be in flesh, may not please to God.

⁹But ye be not in flesh, but in Spirit; if nevertheless the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, this is not his.

¹⁰For if Christ is in you, the body is dead for sin or from sin, but the Spirit liveth for justifying.

¹¹And if the Spirit of him that raised Jesus Christ from death dwelleth in you, he that raised Jesus Christ from death, shall quicken also your deadly bodies, for the Spirit of him that dwelleth in you.

¹²Therefore, brethren, we be debtors, not to the flesh, that we live after the flesh.

¹³For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if ye by the Spirit slay the deeds of the flesh, ye shall live.

¹⁴For whoever be led by the Spirit of God, these be the sons of God.

¹⁵For ye have not taken again the spirit of servage in dread, but ye have taken the Spirit of adoption of sons, that is, sons of God by grace, in which we cry, Abba, Father.

¹⁶And that Spirit yieldeth witnessing to our spirit, that we be the sons of God;

¹⁷if sons, and heirs, heirs forsooth of God, and heirs together with Christ; if nevertheless we suffer together, that also we be glorified together.

¹⁸And I deem, that the passions of this time be not even worthy, to the glory to coming or to come, that shall be showed in us.

¹⁹For the abiding of creature abideth the showing of the sons of God.

²⁰But the creature is subject to vanity, not willingly, but for him that made it subject in hope;

²¹for that creature shall be delivered from servage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the sons of God.

²²And we know, that each creature sorroweth, and travaileth with pain till yet.

²³And not only it, but also we us-selves, that have the first fruits of the Spirit, and we us-selves sorrow within us for the adoption of God’s sons, abiding the again-buying of our body.

²⁴But by hope we be made safe. For hope that is seen, is not hope; for who hopeth that thing, that he seeth?

²⁵And if we hope that thing that we see not, we abide by patience.
