Romans 8

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.	1 Hence, now there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.	2 For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed you from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:	3 For what the law, weakened by the flesh, was powerless to do, this God has done: by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for the sake of sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.	4 so that the righteous decree of the law might be fulfilled in us, who live not according to the flesh but according to the spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.	5 For those who live according to the flesh are concerned with the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the spirit with the things of the spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.	6 The concern of the flesh is death, but the concern of the spirit is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.	7 For the concern of the flesh is hostility toward God; it does not submit to the law of God, nor can it;
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.	8 and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.	9 But you are not in the flesh; on the contrary, you are in the spirit, if only the Spirit of God dwells in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.	10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.	11 If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.	12 Consequently, brothers, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.	13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.	14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.	15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a spirit of adoption, through which we cry, "Abba, Father!"
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:	16 The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
17 And 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 together.	17 and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.	18 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.	19 For creation awaits with eager expectation the revelation of the children of God;
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,	20 for creation was made subject to futility, not of its own accord but because of the one who subjected it, in hope
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.	21 that creation itself would be set free from slavery to corruption and share in the glorious freedom of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.	22 We know that all creation is groaning in labor pains even until now;
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.	23 and not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, we also groan within ourselves as we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?	24 For in hope we were saved. Now hope that sees for itself is not hope. For who hopes for what one sees?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.	25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait with endurance.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.	26 In the same way, the Spirit too comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes with inexpressible groanings.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.	27 And the one who searches hearts knows what is the intention of the Spirit, because it intercedes for the holy ones according to God's will.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.	28 We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.	29 For those he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.	30 And those he predestined he also called; and those he called he also justified; and those he justified he also glorified.
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?	31 What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?	32 He who did not spare his own Son but handed him over for us all, how will he not also give us everything else along with him?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.	33 Who will bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who acquits us.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.	34 Who will condemn? It is Christ (Jesus) who died, rather, was raised, who also is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?	35 What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.	36 As it is written: "For your sake we are being slain all the day; we are looked upon as sheep to be slaughtered."
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.	37 No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,	38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.	39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
