Romans 8:1-21 ▼

1 Now then there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Iesus, which walke not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the Lawe of the Spirite of life, which is in Christ Iesus, hath freed mee from the lawe of sinne and of death.

3 For (that that was impossible to ye Lawe, in as much as it was weake, because of ye flesh) God sending his owne Sonne, in ye similitude of sinful flesh, & for sinne, condened sinne in the flesh,

4 That that righteousnes of the Law might be fulfilled in vs, which walke not after ye flesh, but after the Spirit.

5 For they that are after the flesh, sauour the things of the flesh: but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

6 For the wisedome of the flesh is death: but the wisedome of the Spirit is life and peace,

7 Because the wisedome of the flesh is enimitie against God: for it is not subiect to the Lawe of God, neither in deede can be.

8 So then they that are in the flesh, can not please God.

9 Now ye are not in the flesh, but in ye Spirit, because ye spirit of God dwelleth in you: but if any man hath not ye Spirit of Christ, ye same is not his.

10 And if Christ bee in you, the body is dead, because of sinne: but the Spirite is life for righteousnesse sake.

11 But if the Spirit of him that raised vp Iesus from the dead, dwell in you, he that raised vp Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortall bodies, by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

12 Therefore brethren, wee are detters not to the flesh, to liue after the flesh:

13 For if ye liue after the flesh, ye shall die: but if yee mortifie the deedes of the body by the Spirit, ye shall liue.

14 For as many as are ledde by the Spirit of God, they are the sonnes of God.

15 For ye haue not receiued the Spirit of bodage, to feare againe: but ye haue receiued the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, Father.

16 The same Spirit beareth witnesse with our spirit, that we are the children of God.

17 If we be children, we are also heires, euen the heires of God, and heires annexed with Christ: if so be that we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

18 For I count that the afflictions of this present time are not worthy of the glory, which shalbe shewed vnto vs.

19 For the feruent desire of the creature waiteth when the sonnes of God shalbe reueiled,

20 Because the creature is subiect to vanitie, not of it owne will, but by reason of him, which hath subdued it vnder hope,

21 Because the creature also shall be deliuered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious libertie of the sonnes of God.
