For I do not do the good I want, but I do the very evil I do not want!

For I delight in the law of God in my inner being.

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

For the law of the life-giving Spirit in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.

For God achieved what the law could not do because it was weakened through the flesh. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,

For those who live according to the flesh have their outlook shaped by the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit have their outlook shaped by the things of the Spirit.

For the outlook of the flesh is death, but the outlook of the Spirit is life and peace,

because the outlook of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor is it able to do so.

(for if you live according to the flesh, you will die), but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God.

For you did not receive the spirit of slavery leading again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba, Father."

For I consider that our present sufferings cannot even be compared to the coming glory that will be revealed to us.

For the creation eagerly waits for the revelation of the sons of God.

For the creation was subjected to futility—not willingly but because of God who subjected it—in hope

For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers together until now.

For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees?

But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with endurance.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how we should pray, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.

And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose,

What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
