- Romans 8:1–13Rank 9 from verse 3
1THERE is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3For 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:
4That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5For 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.
6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9But 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.
10And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11But 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.
12Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13For 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.
1¶ There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Iesus, who walke not after the flesh, but after the spirit.
2For the law of the spirit of life, in Christ Iesus, hath made me free from the law of sinne and death.
3For what the law could not doe, in that it was weake through the flesh, God sending his owne Sonne, in the likenesse of sinnefull flesh, and ‖for sinne condemned sinne in the flesh:
4That the righteousnesse of the law might be fulfilled in vs, who walke not after the flesh, but after the spirit.
5For they that are after the flesh, doe minde the things of the flesh: but they that are after the spirit, the things of the spirit.
6For to †be carnally minded, is death: but †to be spiritually minded, is life and peace:
7Because †the carnall minde is enmitie against God: for it is not subiect to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8So then they that are in the flesh, cannot please God.
9But 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 haue not the spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sinne: but the spirit is life, because of righteousnesse.
11But 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.
12Therfore brethren, we are detters, not to the flesh, to liue after the flesh.
13For if ye liue after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the spirit doe mortifie the deeds of the body, ye shall liue.
