Romans 8: 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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
258
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
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.
258
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.
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.
258
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.
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.
