Freedom in the Spirit by the indwelling Christ
8:1-13
1.
The law of the Spirit of life
vv. 1-6
Rom. 8
:1
8:1
There is
1now then no
2condemnation to those who are
3in Christ Jesus.
Rom. 8
:2
8:2
For the
1law of the
2Spirit of
3life has
4freed 5me in Christ Jesus from the
6alaw of sin and of death.
Rom. 8
:3
8:3
For that which the
1law could
2not do, in that it was
aweak through the flesh, God, sending His own Son in the
3likeness of the flesh of sin and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,
Rom. 8
:4
8:4
That the righteous requirement of the law might be
1fulfilled in us, who do not
2awalk according to the flesh but according to the
3spirit.
Rom. 8
:5
8:5
For those who are according to the flesh mind the
1things of the flesh; but those who are
2according to the spirit, the
3things of the Spirit.
Rom. 8
:6
8:6
For 1the mind set on the flesh is
2death, but
3the mind set on the spirit is
2alife and
bpeace.
2.
The indwelling Christ
vv. 7-13
Rom. 8
:7
8:7
Because the mind set on the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, for neither can it be.
Rom. 8
:8
8:8
And 1those who are
2in the flesh cannot please God.
Rom. 8
:9
8:9
But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if indeed the
1Spirit of God
2dwells in you. Yet
3if anyone does not have the
4aSpirit of Christ, he is not
5of Him.
Rom. 8
:10
8:10
But if
1aChrist is
2in you, though the
3body is
4dead because of sin, the
5spirit is
6life because of
7righteousness.
Rom. 8
:11
8:11
And if the
1Spirit of
2the One who raised Jesus from the dead
3adwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also
4bgive life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who indwells you.
Rom. 8
:12
8:12
So then, brothers, we are debtors not to the flesh to
1live according to the flesh;
Rom. 8
:13
8:13
For if you live according to the flesh, you must
1die, but if by the Spirit you
2aput to death the
3practices of the body, you will live.
V.
Glorification
8:14-39
A.
Heirs of glory
vv. 14-27
Rom. 8
:14
8:14
For as many as are
1led by the
2Spirit of God, these are
3asons of God.
Rom. 8
:15
8:15
For you have not received a spirit of slavery
bringing you into fear again, but you have received a
1aspirit of sonship in which we
bcry,
2Abba, Father!
Rom. 8
:16
8:16
The Spirit Himself
awitnesses 1with 2our bspirit that
3we are
cchildren of God.
Rom. 8
:17
8:17
And if children,
aheirs also; on the one hand, heirs of God; on the other, joint heirs with Christ,
1if indeed we
bsuffer with
Him that we may also be
cglorified with
Him.
Rom. 8
:18
8:18
For I
1consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the coming
aglory to be revealed
2upon us.
Rom. 8
:19
8:19
For the
1anxious watching of the creation eagerly awaits the
2revelation of the sons of God.
Rom. 8
:20
8:20
For the creation was made subject to
avanity, not of its own will, but because of Him who subjected
it,
Rom. 8
:21
8:21
In hope that the creation itself will also be
1freed from the slavery of corruption into the freedom of the
aglory of the children of God.
Rom. 8
:22
8:22
For we know that the whole creation groans together and travails in pain together until now.
Rom. 8
:23
8:23
And not only
so, but we ourselves also, who have
1the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves
2groan in ourselves, eagerly awaiting
3asonship, the
bredemption of our body.
Rom. 8
:24
8:24
For we were saved in hope. But a
ahope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what he sees?
Rom. 8
:25
8:25
But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly await
it through endurance.
Rom. 8
:26
8:26
Moreover,
1in like manner the Spirit also joins in to help
us in our
2weakness, for we do not know for what we should pray as is fitting, but the Spirit Himself
aintercedes for
us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Rom. 8
:27
8:27
But He who searches the hearts knows what the
1mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints
2according to God.
B.
Heirs conformed
vv. 28-30
Rom. 8
:28
8:28
And we know that
1all things
2work together for
3good to those who
4love God, to those who are
acalled according to
His 5purpose.
Rom. 8
:29
8:29
Because those whom He
1foreknew, He also
2apredestinated to be 3conformed to the
bimage of His Son, that He might be the
4cFirstborn among
5many dbrothers;
Rom. 8
:30
8:30
And those whom He predestinated, these He also called; and those whom He called, these He also
1ajustified; and those whom He justified, these He also
2bglorified.
C.
Heirs inseparable from God's love
vv. 31-39
Rom. 8
:31
8:31
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who
can be against us?
Rom. 8
:32
8:32
Indeed, He who did not spare His own Son, but
adelivered Him up for us all, how shall He not also with Him freely give us
ball things?
Rom. 8
:33
8:33
Who shall bring a
acharge against God's chosen ones?
1It is God who
bjustifies.
Rom. 8
:34
8:34
Who is he who condemns?
1It is Christ Jesus who
adied and, rather, who
bwas raised, who is also
2cat the right hand of God, who also
3dintercedes for us.
Rom. 8
:35
8:35
Who shall separate us from the
alove of Christ? Shall tribulation or anguish or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?
Rom. 8
:36
8:36
As it is written,
a"For Your sake we are being
bput to death all day long; we have been accounted as sheep for slaughter.''
Rom. 8
:37
8:37
But in all these things we
1more than conquer through Him who loved us.
Rom. 8
:38
8:38
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor things present nor things to come nor powers
Rom. 8
:39
8:39
Nor height nor depth nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the
1alove of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
