There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans 8:1 KJV

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

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:

Romans 8:3 KJV

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans 8:4 KJV

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.

Romans 8:5 KJV

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Romans 8:6 KJV

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Romans 8:7 KJV

So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Romans 8:8 KJV

Romans 8:15 KJV

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

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.

Romans 8:17 KJV

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.

Romans 8:18 KJV

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

Romans 8:19 KJV

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

Romans 8:20 KJV

Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Romans 8:21 KJV

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

Romans 8:22 KJV

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.

Romans 8:23 KJV

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?

Romans 8:24 KJV

But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

Romans 8:25 KJV

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.

Romans 8:26 KJV

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.

Romans 8:27 KJV

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.

Romans 8:28 KJV

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.

Romans 8:29 KJV

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.

Romans 8:30 KJV

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

Romans 8:31 KJV

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?

Romans 8:32 KJV

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.

Romans 8:33 KJV

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.

What is Romans 8 about?

Romans 8 is often called the high point of Paul's letter to the Romans. It begins, "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus," and goes on to describe life in the Holy Spirit, who makes believers children of God and helps them pray when they do not know what to say (verse 26). Paul admits that creation groans under suffering, but promises a coming glory far greater. Verse 28 says all things work together for good to those who love God. The chapter ends in triumph: "If God be for us, who can be against us?" and nothing can separate us from the love of God.

What does Romans 8 mean?

Romans 8:28

Paul writes this to encourage Christians who were suffering. The verse does not claim that everything that happens is good, because many things in this broken world are painful and wrong. It says God works all things together for good, weaving even hardship into his purposes. The promise is for those who love God and are called according to his purpose. The next verse defines that good: being shaped into the likeness of Jesus. So the goal may not be comfort or success, but something deeper. Believers can trust that nothing, not even their worst day, is wasted in God's hands.
