Romans 8

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Hence, now there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.	1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who are not walking according to the flesh.
2 For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed you from the law of sin and death.	2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed me from the law of sin and death.
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,	3 For though this was impossible under the law, because it was weakened by the flesh, God sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and because of sin, in order to condemn sin in the flesh,
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.	4 so that the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us. For we are not walking according to the flesh, but according to 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.	5 For those who are in agreement with the flesh are mindful of the things of the flesh. But those who are in agreement with the spirit are mindful of the things of the spirit.
6 The concern of the flesh is death, but the concern of the spirit is life and peace.	6 For the prudence of the flesh is death. But the prudence of the spirit is life and peace.
7 For the concern of the flesh is hostility toward God; it does not submit to the law of God, nor can it;	7 And the wisdom of the flesh is inimical to God. For it is not subject to the law of God, nor can it be.
8 and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.	8 So those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.
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.	9 And you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if it is true that the Spirit of God lives within you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.
10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is alive because of righteousness.	10 But if Christ is within you, then the body is indeed dead, concerning sin, but the spirit truly lives, because of justification.
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.	11 But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead lives within you, then he who raised up Jesus Christ from the dead shall also enliven your mortal bodies, by means of his Spirit living within you.
12 Consequently, brothers, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.	12 Therefore, brothers, we are not debtors to the flesh, so as to live according to the flesh.
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.	13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die. But if, by the Spirit, you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live.
14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.	14 For all those who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God.
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!"	15 And you have not received, again, a spirit of servitude in fear, but you have received the Spirit of the adoption of sons, in whom we cry out: “Abba, Father!”
16 The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,	16 For the Spirit himself renders testimony to our spirit that we are the sons of God.
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.	17 But if we are sons, then we are also heirs: certainly heirs of God, but also co-heirs with Christ, yet in such a way that, if we suffer with him, we shall also be glorified with him.
18 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us.	18 For I consider that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with that future glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For creation awaits with eager expectation the revelation of the children of God;	19 For the anticipation of the creature anticipates the revelation of the sons of God.
20 for creation was made subject to futility, not of its own accord but because of the one who subjected it, in hope	20 For the creature was made subject to emptiness, not willingly, but for the sake of the One who made it subject, unto hope.
21 that creation itself would be set free from slavery to corruption and share in the glorious freedom of the children of God.	21 For the creature itself shall also be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the sons of God.
22 We know that all creation is groaning in labor pains even until now;	22 For we know that every creature groans inwardly, as if giving birth, even until now;
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.	23 and not only these, but also ourselves, since we hold the first-fruits of the Spirit. For we also groan within ourselves, anticipating our adoption as the sons of God, and the redemption of our body.
24 For in hope we were saved. Now hope that sees for itself is not hope. For who hopes for what one sees?	24 For we have been saved by hope. But a hope which is seen is not hope. For when a man sees something, why would he hope?
25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait with endurance.	25 But since we hope for what we do not see, we wait with patience.
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.	26 And similarly, the Spirit also helps our weakness. For we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself asks on our behalf with ineffable sighing.
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.	27 And he who examines hearts knows what the Spirit seeks, because he asks on behalf of the saints in accordance with God.
28 We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.	28 And we know that, for those who love God, all things work together unto good, for those who, in accordance with his purpose, are called to be saints.
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.	29 For those whom he foreknew, he also predestinated, in conformity with the image of his Son, so that he might be the Firstborn among many brothers.
30 And those he predestined he also called; and those he called he also justified; and those he justified he also glorified.	30 And those whom he predestinated, he also called. And those whom he called, he also justified. And those whom he justified, he also glorified.
31 What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?	31 So, what should we say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
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?	32 He who did not spare even his own Son, but handed him over for the sake of us all, how could he not also, with him, have given us all things?
33 Who will bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who acquits us.	33 Who will make an accusation against the elect of God? God is the One who justifies;
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.	34 who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus who has died, and who has indeed also risen again, is at the right hand of God, and even now he intercedes for us.
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?	35 Then who will separate us from the love of Christ? Tribulation? Or anguish? Or famine? Or nakedness? Or peril? Or persecution? Or the sword?
36 As it is written: "For your sake we are being slain all the day; we are looked upon as sheep to be slaughtered."	36 For it is as it has been written: “For your sake, we are being put to death all day long. We are being treated like sheep for the slaughter.”
37 No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us.	37 But in all these things we overcome, because of him who has loved us.
38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers,	38 For I am certain that neither death, nor life, nor Angels, nor Principalities, nor Powers, nor the present things, nor the future things, nor strength,
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.	39 nor the heights, nor the depths, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
