Romans 8

King James Version (KJV)

Default
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.

Bible Study

Coming Home to Grace

For the recovering legalist. For the person wounded by weaponized theology. For anyone who walked away because the people who claimed to represent God were the cruelest people they knew. There is a way back. And it doesn't start with trying harder.

Bible Study

The Weaponized Bible

When Scripture becomes a club instead of a mirror, something has gone deeply wrong. This study examines the difference between conviction and condemnation, and how legalism doesn't just damage faith — it destroys families.

Bible Study

"No Condemnation" — The Five Words That Should Make You Weep (Romans 8:1)

Romans 8 opens with the most staggering legal verdict in history. Five words that erase the case against you — permanently. But most Christians read them too fast to feel what they actually mean.

Bible Study

Nothing Can Separate You — The Promise That Ends Every Argument (Romans 8:31-39)

Paul has built his case across 30 verses. Now he drops the mic. Five unanswerable questions. A roll call of humanity's worst nightmares. And a declaration so total, so final, so breathtakingly certain that death itself has to sit down and shut up.

Bible Study

How Do You Know the Holy Spirit Actually Lives in You? (Romans 8:5-17)

You've been told the Spirit lives inside you. But do you feel it? Do you sense it? What if the evidence isn't a feeling at all — but something Paul describes that will either terrify you or set you free?

Bible Study

The Spirit Prays When You Can't Find the Words — And God Turns Everything into a Plan (Romans 8:26-30)

You've had those nights — face on the floor, chest tight, and you can't even form a sentence. Paul says that's exactly when the Holy Spirit does His most intimate work. And what comes next might be the most misunderstood verse in the Bible.

Bible Study

Why All of Creation Is Groaning — And What It's Waiting For (Romans 8:18-25)

Something is wrong with the world and you can feel it. The ache in your bones, the news that never gets better, the beauty that always fades. Paul says the entire universe feels it too — and he tells you exactly what it's all waiting for.

Devotional

The Freedom No One Knows What to Do With

Paul opens Galatians 5 with the most explosive statement in the New Testament: Christ set you free. But free for what? Not lawlessness. Not legalism. Something nobody expected — and most Christians still haven't figured out.

Devotional

Being vs. Trying — Why Walking by the Spirit Isn't What You Think

Every Christian knows they should 'walk by the Spirit.' Almost nobody knows what that actually means on a Tuesday morning. Paul lays out the difference between white-knuckling holiness and organic transformation — and it changes everything.

Devotional

Full Circle — The Vine and the Fruit (And Why You Were Never Meant to Do This Alone)

The vine of John 15 produces the fruit of Galatians 5. Two passages, one truth. In this final part, we connect the threads — because the life Jesus described and the life Paul described are the same life. And it's waiting for every branch willing to stay connected.

Devotional

One Fruit, Nine Flavors — What Actually Grows When You're Connected to the Vine

Galatians 5:22-23 might be the most famous list in the New Testament. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. But here's what almost everyone misses: it's fruit — singular. Not nine achievements. One life, expressed nine ways.

Devotional

The Branch That Withers — The Hardest Verse in John 15 (And Why We Can't Look Away)

John 15:6 is the verse people skip, explain away, or weaponize. A branch that doesn't remain gets thrown into the fire. What does that mean for believers? We sit with the tension — honestly, carefully, and without easy answers.
