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 (or experience) those things that be of the Spirit.

⁶For the prudence (or the wisdom) of (the) flesh is death; but the prudence (or the wisdom) of (the) 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, (or nor could it be subject to the law).

⁸And they that be in (the) flesh, may not please to God. (And those who be in the flesh, cannot please God.)

⁹But ye be not in (the) flesh, but in (the) 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 the body is dead from sin, but the Spirit liveth for justifying. (For if the Messiah is in you, then though the body shall die because of sin, the Spirit shall give life to you, because you have been justified.)

¹¹And if the Spirit of him that raised Jesus Christ from death dwelleth in you, (then) he that raised Jesus Christ from death, shall quicken also your deadly bodies, for the Spirit of him that dwelleth in you. +For if the Spirit of him that raised Jesus Christ from (the) dead dwelleth in you, (then) he that raised Jesus Christ from (the) dead, shall quicken also your deadly bodies, for the Spirit of him is dwelling in you. (And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus Christ from the dead liveth in you, then he who raised Jesus Christ from the dead, shall also enliven, or shall give life, to your mortal bodies, through the Spirit of him who liveth in you.)

¹²Therefore, brethren, we be debtors, not to the flesh, (so) that we live after (or according to) the flesh.

¹³For if ye live after (or according to) 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. (For ye have not received the spirit of servitude, or of slavery, in fear, but ye have received the Spirit of the adoption of sons, that is, sons of God by grace, in which we cry, Abba, or Father.)

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

¹⁷if sons, and heirs, heirs forsooth of God, and heirs together with Christ, or soothly heirs of God, truly even-heirs of Christ, (or truly heirs of God, and fellow heirs with the Messiah); if nevertheless we suffer together, (so) 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 the glory to come, that shall be showed in us. (And I judge, that the sufferings of this time be not worthy of any comparison, to the glory that is to come, that shall be showed to us, or which shall be given to us.)

¹⁹For the abiding of creature (or of all Creation) abideth the showing of the sons of God.

²⁰But the creature is subject to vanity, not willing(ly), but for him that made it subject in hope; (But all Creation is subject to emptiness and futility, not out of free will, or of its own choice, but because of him who made it so, but also with hope;)

²¹for that creature shall be delivered from servage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the sons of God. (for that Creation shall be set free from the servitude, or the slavery, of corruption into the freedom of the glory of the sons of God.)

²²And we know, that each creature (or that all Creation) 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 (or awaiting the redemption of our body).

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

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