Romans 8
39;
39 neither height nor depth, nor
anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the Love of God
that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (3)
138
35 Who
shall separate us from the Love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or
persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? (8)
36 As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as Sheep to be slaughtered.”
37 No,
in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who Loved us.
147
26 In
the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought
to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
(8)
27 And He who searches our hearts knows the
mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit
intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
28 And we know that in
all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
147
17 Now
if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if
indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. (8)
Present Suffering
and Future Glory
18 I consider that our
present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory
that will be revealed in us.
19 For the creation
waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
147
8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. (8)
9 You, however, are
not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the
Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
10 But if Christ is in
you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives Life because of Righteousness.
147
32 He
who did not spare His Own Son, but gave Him up for us all—how will He not also,
along with Him, Graciously give us all things? (5)
33 Who will bring any
charge against those whom God
has chosen? It is God who
justifies.
34 Who then is the One
who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was Raised to Life—is at the right hand of God and is also
interceding for us.
147
23 Not
only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan
inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our
bodies.
(5)
24 For in this hope we
were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already
have?
25 But
if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
147
14 For
those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. (5)
15 The Spirit you
received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the
Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”
16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that
we are God’s children.
147
5 Those
who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires;
but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what
the Spirit desires. (5)
6 The mind governed
by the flesh is death, but
the mind governed by the Spirit is
Life and Peace.
7 The mind governed
by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.
147
38 For
I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither
the present nor the future, nor any powers, (2)
258
29 For
those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son,
that He might be the Firstborn among many brothers and sisters. (2)
30 And those He Predestined, He also Called; those He Called, He also Justified; those He Justified, He also Glorified.
More Than
Conquerors
31 What, then, shall we
say in response to these things? If
God is for us, who can be against us?
147
20 For
the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the
will of the one who subjected it, in hope
(2)
21 that the
creation itself will be liberated
from its bondage to decay and brought into the Freedom and Glory of the children of God.
22 We know that the
whole creation has been groaning
as in the pains of childbirth
right up to the present time.
147
11 And if the Spirit of Him who Raised
Jesus from the dead is Living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will
also give Life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who Lives
in you. (2)
12 Therefore, brothers
and sisters, we have an obligation—but
it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.
13 For if you live
according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the
body,
you will live.
147
Life Through the
Spirit
8 Therefore, there is now no
condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
2 because through Christ Jesus
the Law of the Spirit who gives Life has set you free from the Law of Sin and Death. (2)
3 For what the law was powerless
to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His Own Son in the Likeness of sinful flesh to be a Sin Offering. And so He Condemned Sin in the flesh,
4 in order that the righteous
requirement of the Law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to
the flesh but according to the Spirit.
