   Romans Chapter 8   
      
   1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ   
   Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.   
      
   2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free   
   from the law of sin and death.   
      
   3 For 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:   
      
   4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk   
   not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.   
      
   5 For 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.   
      
   6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is   
   life and peace.   
      
   7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject   
   to the law of God, neither indeed can be.   
      
   8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.   
      
   9 But 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.   
      
   10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the   
   Spirit is life because of righteousness.   
      
   11 But 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.   
      
   12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after   
   the flesh.   
      
   13 For 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.   
      
   14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.   
      
   15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye   
   have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.   
      
   16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the   
   children of God:   
      
   17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with   
   Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified   
   together.   
      
   18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy   
   to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.   
      
   19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the   
   manifestation of the sons of God.   
      
   20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by   
   reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,   
      
   21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage   
   of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.   
      
   22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain   
   together until now.   
      
   23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of   
   the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the   
   adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.   
      
   24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what   
   a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?   
      
   25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.   
      
   26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not   
   what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh   
   intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.   
      
   27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the   
   Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the   
   will of God.   
      
   28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love   
   God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.   
      
   29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to   
   the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.   
      
   30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he   
   called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also   
   glorified.   
      
   31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be   
   against us?   
      
   32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how   
   shall he not with him also freely give us all things?   
      
   33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that   
   justifieth.   
      
   34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that   
   is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh   
   intercession for us.   
      
   35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or   
   distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?   
      
   36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are   
   accounted as sheep for the slaughter.   
      
   37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that   
   loved us.   
      
   38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor   
   principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,   
      
   39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to   
   separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.   
      
   Romans Chapter 9   
      
   1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me   
   witness in the Holy Ghost,   
      
   2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.   
      
   3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my   
   brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:   
      
   4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory,   
   and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God,   
   and the promises;   
      
   5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ   
   came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.   
      
   6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not   
   all Israel, which are of Israel:   
      
   7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children:   
   but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.   
      
   8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the   
   children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.   
      
   9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara   
   shall have a son.   
      
   10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even   
   by our father Isaac;   
      
   11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or   
   evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of   
   works, but of him that calleth;)   
      
   12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.   
      
   13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.   
      
   14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.   
      
   15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy,   
   and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.   
      
   16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but   
   of God that sheweth mercy.   
      
   17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have   
   I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name   
   might be declared throughout all the earth.
