Gottes Neue Offenbarungen

The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans

Literal Standard Version :: World English Bible Catholic

- Kapitel 8 -

(Ezekiel 36:16–38; Galatians 5:16–26)
1
There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit;
2
for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus set me free from the law of sin and of death;
3
for what the Law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh,
4
that the righteousness of the Law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
5
For those who are according to the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit;
6
for the mind of the flesh [is] death, and the mind of the Spiritlife and peace;
7
because the mind of the flesh [is] enmity to God, for to the Law of God it does not subject itself,
8
for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.
9
And you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you; and if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christthis one is not His;
10
and if Christ [is] in you, the body, indeed, [is] dead because of sin, and the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness,
11
and if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus out of the dead dwells in you, He who raised up the Christ out of the dead will also quicken your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you.

Heirs with Christ

12
So, then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh;
13
for if according to the flesh you live, you are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body you put to death, you will live;
14
for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God;
15
for you did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but you received [the] Spirit of adoption in which we cry, “Abba! Father!”
16
[This] Onethe Spirittestifies with our spirit, that we are children of God;
17
and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christif, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.

Future Glory

(2 Corinthians 5:1–10)
18
For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory about to be revealed in us;
19
for the earnest looking out of the creation expects the revelation of the sons of God;
20
for to vanity was the creation made subjectnot of its will, but because of Him who subjected [it]—in hope,
21
that also the creation itself will be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God;
22
for we have known that all the creation groans together, and travails in pain together until now.
23
And not only [so], but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves groan in ourselves, expecting adoptionthe redemption of our body;
24
for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what anyone beholds, why does he also hope for [it]?
25
And if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect [it].
26
And in like manner also, the Spirit helps our weaknesses; for what we may pray for, as it is necessary, we have not known, but [this] Onethe Spirit—makes intercession for us with unutterable groanings,
27
and He who is searching the hearts has known what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because according to God He intercedes for holy ones.

God Works in All Things

(Ephesians 1:3–14)
28
And we have known that to those loving God all things work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;
29
because whom He foreknew, He also foreordained, conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be firstborn among many brothers;
30
and whom He foreordained, these also He called; and whom He called, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He glorified.
31
What, then, will we say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [is] against us?
32
He who indeed did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him grant to us all things?
33
Who will lay a charge against the chosen ones of God? God [is] He that is declaring righteous;
34
who [is] he that is condemning? Christ [is] He that died, indeed, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of Godwho also interceded for us.

More than Conquerors

(Psalm 44:1–26)
35
Who will separate us from the love of the Christ? Tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36
According as it has been written: “For Your sake we are put to death all the day long; we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter.”
37
But in all these we more than conquer, through Him who loved us;
38
for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,
39
nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God that [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Ezekiel 36:16–38; Galatians 5:16–26)
1
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.(a)
2
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
3
For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,
4
that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
5
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
For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;
7
because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward God, for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.
8
Those who are in the flesh cant please God.
9
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.
10
If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
11
But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

Heirs with Christ

12
So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13
For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.
15
For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba!(b) Father!”
16
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;
17
and if children, then heirsheirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

Future Glory

(2 Corinthians 5:1–10)
18
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.
19
For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
20
For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope
21
that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
22
For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
23
Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.
24
For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?
25
But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.
26
In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cant be uttered.
27
He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.

God Works in All Things

(Ephesians 1:3–14)
28
We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.
29
For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.(c)
30
Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.
31
What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32
He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?
33
Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies.
34
Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

More than Conquerors

(Psalm 44:1–26)
35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36
Even as it is written,For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”(d)
37
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
38
For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor 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 Gods love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
