For ^(C1)the law of the Spirit of life ^(F1)in ^(C2)Christ Jesus ^(C3)has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

For ^(C1)what the Law could not do, ^(F1)(C2)weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in ^(C3)the likeness of ^(F2)sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,

so that the ^(C1)requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us who ^(C2)do not walk ^(F1)according to the flesh but ^(F1)according to the Spirit.

However, you are not ^(C1)in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God ^(C2)dwells in you. But ^(C3)if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

For all who are ^(C1)being led by the Spirit of God, these are ^(C2)sons and daughters of God.

The Spirit Himself ^(C1)testifies with our spirit that we are ^(C2)children of God,

and if children, ^(C1)heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, ^(C2)if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time ^(C1)are not worthy to be compared with the ^(C2)glory that is to be revealed to us.

For the ^(C1)eagerly awaiting creation waits for ^(C2)the revealing of the ^(C3)sons and daughters of God.

For the creation ^(C1)was subjected to ^(C2)futility, not willingly, but ^(C3)because of Him who subjected it, ^(F1)in hope

that ^(C1)the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

For we know that the whole creation ^(C1)groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.

^(C1)And not only that, but also we ourselves, having ^(C2)the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves ^(C3)groan within ourselves, ^(C4)waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons and daughters, ^(C5)the redemption of our body.

For ^(C1)in hope we have been saved, but ^(C2)hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees?

But ^(C1)if we hope for what we do not see, through perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

Now in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for ^(C1)we do not know what to pray for as we should, but ^(C2)the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with ^(F1)groanings too deep for words;
