![]() ![]() I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us. The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a spirit of adoption, through which we cry, "Abba, Father!" ![]() ![]() ![]() Those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more death no longer has power over him. If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. For a dead person has been absolved from sin. We know that our old self was crucified with him, so that our sinful body might be done away with, that we might no longer be in slavery to sin. The law entered in so that transgression might increase but, where sin increased, grace overflowed all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through justification for eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.Īre you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life.įor if we have grown into union with him through a death like his, we shall also be united with him in the resurrection. For just as through the disobedience of one person the many were made sinners, so through the obedience of one the many will be made righteous. In conclusion, just as through one transgression condemnation came upon all, so through one righteous act acquittal and life came to all. If, by the transgression of one person, death came to reign through that one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of justification come to reign in life through the one person Jesus Christ. Not only that, but we also boast of God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. Indeed, if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, once reconciled, will we be saved by his life. How much more then, since we are now justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath. But God proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. Indeed, only with difficulty does one die for a just person, though perhaps for a good person one might even find courage to die. For Christ, while we were still helpless, yet died at the appointed time for the ungodly. Hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
