Deliverance
from Bondage
1
Therefore
there is now no condemnation for those who are 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. 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, 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. 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. 6 For
the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is 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, 8 and those who are in the 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. 10 If
Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is
alive because 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.
12 So then, brethren, we are
under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the 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. 14 For
all who are being 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!” 16 The
Spirit Himself testifies 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.
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. 19 For the anxious longing of the
creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For
the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who
subjected it, 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. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and
suffers the pains of childbirth 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. 24 For in hope we have been
saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already
sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance
we wait eagerly for it.
Our
Victory in Christ
26 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; 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.
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. 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; 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.
31 What then shall we say to
these things? If God is for us, who is 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? 33 Who will bring a
charge against God’s elect? God is the one 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. 35 Who
will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, 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.”
37 But in all these things we
overwhelmingly conquer through Him who 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, 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.
