   Day 332, 28 November 2025 - 6th Day of Advent   
      
   1) Romans 8, Romans 9, Romans 10   
      
   Romans 8   
      
   Life in the Spirit   
      
   1 (1Co 1:30; 2Co 5:17) There is therefore now no condemnation for those   
   who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according   
   to the Spirit.   
   2 (1Co 15:45; Ro 6:18; Jn 8:32) For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ   
   Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.   
   3 (Ac 13:39; 2Co 5:21) For what the law could not do, in that it was weak   
   through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful   
   flesh, and concerning sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,   
   4 (Gal 5:16) in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be   
   fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh   
   but according to the Spirit.   
   5 (1Co 2:14; Gal 5:19-25) For those who live according to the flesh set   
   their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according   
   to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.   
   6 (Ro 6:21; 8:13) To be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually   
   minded is life and peace,   
   7 (Jas 4:4; 1Co 2:14) for the carnal mind is hostile toward God,   
   for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can it be,   
   8 (Ro 7:5) and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.   
   9 (Gal 4:6; 1Co 6:19; 3:16) You, however, are not in the flesh   
   but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you.   
   Now if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong   
   to Him.   
   10 (Eph 3:17; Col 1:27) And if Christ is in you, though the body is dead   
   because of sin, the Spirit is alive because of righteousness.   
   11 (Ac 2:24; Ro 8:2) But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus   
   from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ from the dead   
   will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit   
   that lives in you.   
   12 Therefore, brothers, we are debtors not to the flesh, to live   
   according to the flesh.   
   13 (Gal 6:8) For if you live according to the flesh, you will die,   
   but if through the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body,   
   you will live.   
   14 (Gal 5:18; Rev 21:7) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,   
   these are the sons of God.   
   15 (Mk 14:36; 1Co 2:12) For you have not received the spirit of slavery   
   again to fear. But you have received the Spirit of adoption, by whom   
   we cry, “Abba, Father.”   
   16 (Eph 1:13; 2Co 1:22) The Spirit Himself bears witness   
   with our spirits that we are the children of God,   
   17 (Gal 4:7; 3:29) and if children, then heirs: heirs of God   
   and joint-heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him,   
   that we may also be glorified with Him.   
      
   [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.   
      
   The Glory That Is to Be   
      
   18 (1Pe 4:13; Col 3:4) For I consider that the sufferings of this present   
   time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed   
   to us.   
   19 (1Jn 3:2; Php 1:20) The eager expectation of the creation waits for   
   the appearance of the sons of God.   
   20 (Ge 3:17-19; 5:29) For the creation was subjected to futility,   
   not willingly, but by the will of Him who subjected it, in hope   
   21 (2Pe 3:13; Ac 3:21) that the creation itself also will be set free   
   from its slavery to corruption into the glorious freedom of the children   
   of God.   
   22 (Jer 12:11; 12:4) We know that the whole creation groans   
   and travails in pain together until now.   
   23 (Ro 7:24; 8:19) Not only that, but we also, who have the first fruits   
   of the Spirit, groan within ourselves while eagerly waiting for adoption,   
   the redemption of our bodies.   
   24 (1Th 5:8; Heb 11:1) For we are saved through hope, but hope that is   
   seen is not hope, for why does a man still hope for what he sees?   
   25 (1Th 1:3) But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it   
   with patience.   
   26 (Eph 6:18; Mt 20:22; Zec 12:10) Likewise, the Spirit helps us   
   in our weaknesses, for we do not know what to pray for as we ought,   
   but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.   
   27 (Ro 8:34; Rev 2:23) He who searches the hearts knows what the mind   
   of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according   
   to the will of God.   
   28 (Gal 1:15; Ge 50:20) We know that all things work together for good   
   to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.   
   29 (Ro 11:2; 1Co 15:49; Eph 1:11) For those whom He foreknew, He   
   predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son,   
   so that He might be the firstborn among many brothers.   
   30 (1Co 6:11; Heb 9:15) And those whom He predestined, He also called;   
   and those whom He called, He also justified; and those whom He justified,   
   He also glorified.   
      
   [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.
