¹¹ But if the Spirit of Him who ^(A)raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, ^(B)He who raised ^(C)Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies ^[a]through His Spirit who dwells in you.

¹² So then, brothers, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— ¹³ for ^(D)if you are living according to the flesh, you ^[b]must die, but if by the Spirit you are ^(E)putting to death the ^(F)practices of the body, you will live. ¹⁴ For as many as are ^(G)being led by the Spirit of God, these are ^(H)sons of God. ¹⁵ For you ^(I)have not received a spirit of slavery ^[c]leading to fear again, but you ^(J)have received the Spirit of adoption as sons by whom we cry out, “^(K)Abba! Father!” ¹⁶ The Spirit Himself ^(L)testifies with our spirit that we are ^(M)children of God, ¹⁷ and if children, also ^(N)heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, ^(O)if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

Present Suffering and Future Glory

¹⁸ For I consider that the sufferings of this present time ^(P)are not worthy to be compared with the ^(Q)glory that is to be revealed to us. ¹⁹ For the ^(R)anxious longing of the creation eagerly waits for ^(S)the revealing of the ^(T)sons of God. ²⁰ For the creation ^(U)was subjected to ^(V)futility, not willingly, but ^(W)because of Him who subjected it, in hope ^21 [d]that ^(X)the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. ²² For we know that the whole creation ^(Y)groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. ^23 (Z)And not only this, but also we ourselves, having ^(AA)the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves ^(AB)groan within ourselves, ^(AC)eagerly waiting for our adoption as sons, ^(AD)the redemption of our body. ²⁴ For ^(AE)in hope we were saved, but ^(AF)hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what he already sees? ²⁵ But ^(AG)if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we eagerly wait for it.

²⁶ And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness, for ^(AH)we do not know how to pray as we should, but ^(AI)the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; ²⁷ and ^(AJ)He who searches the hearts knows what ^(AK)the mind of the Spirit is, because He ^(AL)intercedes for the ^[e]saints according to the will of God.

²⁸ And we know that for those who love God ^[f](AM)all things work together for good, for those who are ^(AN)called according to His purpose. ²⁹ Because those whom He ^(AO)foreknew, He also ^(AP)predestined to become ^(AQ)conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the ^(AR)firstborn among many brothers; ³⁰ and those whom He ^(AS)predestined, He also ^(AT)called; and those whom He called, He also ^(AU)justified; and those whom He justified, He also ^(AV)glorified.

God Is for Us

^31 (AW)What then shall we say to these things? ^(AX)If God is for us, who is against us? ³² He who indeed ^(AY)did not spare His own Son, but ^(AZ)delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him graciously give us all things? ³³ Who will bring a charge against ^(BA)God’s elect? ^(BB)God is the one who justifies; ³⁴ who is the one who ^(BC)condemns? Christ Jesus is He who ^(BD)died, yes, rather who was ^[g](BE)raised, who is ^(BF)at the right hand of God, who also ^(BG)intercedes for us. ³⁵ Who will separate us from ^(BH)the love of ^[h]Christ? Will ^(BI)affliction, or turmoil, or ^(BJ)persecution, or ^(BK)famine, or ^(BL)nakedness, or ^(BM)peril, or sword? ³⁶ Just as it is written,

³⁷ But in all these things we overwhelmingly ^(BO)conquer through ^(BP)Him who loved us. ³⁸ For I am convinced that neither ^(BQ)death, nor life, nor ^(BR)angels, nor rulers, nor ^(BS)things present, nor things to come, nor powers, ³⁹ nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from ^(BT)the love of God, which is ^(BU)in Christ Jesus our Lord.
