Romans 8

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in al-Masih 'Isa, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. ²For the law of the Spirit of life in al-Masih 'Isa made me free from the law of sin and of death. ³For what the shariah of the Taurat couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, Allah did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh; ⁴that the ordinance of the shariah might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. ⁵For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. ⁶For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace; ⁷because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards Allah; for it is not subject to Allah's shariah, neither indeed can it be. ⁸Those who are in the flesh cannot please Allah. ⁹But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of Allah dwells in you. But if any man does not have the Spirit of al-Masih, he is not his. ¹⁰If al-Masih is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness. ¹¹But if the Spirit of him who raised up 'Isa from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up al-Masih 'Isa from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you. ¹²So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. ¹³For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. ¹⁴For as many as are led by the Spirit of Allah, these are children of Allah. ¹⁵For you didn't receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba[1]! Father!"

¹⁶The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of Allah; ¹⁷and if children, then heirs; heirs of Allah, and joint-heirs with al-Masih; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him. ¹⁸For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us. ¹⁹For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of Allah to be revealed. ²⁰For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope ²¹that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of Allah. ²²For we know that the whole creation groans and labours in pain together until now. ²³Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body. ²⁴For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees? ²⁵But if we hope for that which we do not see, we wait for it with patience. ²⁶In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we do not know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. ²⁷He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit's mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to Allah.

²⁸We know that all things work together for good for those who love Allah, to those who are called according to his purpose. ²⁹For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.[2] ³⁰Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.

³¹What then shall we say about these things? If Allah is for us, who can be against us? ³²He who didn't spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things? ³³Who could bring a charge against Allah's chosen ones? It is Allah who justifies. ³⁴Who is he who condemns? It is al-Masih who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of Allah, who also makes intercession for us.

³⁵Who shall separate us from the love of al-Masih? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ³⁶Even as it is written, "For your sake we are killed all day long. We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter."[3] ³⁷No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. ³⁸For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, ³⁹nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of Allah, which is in al-Masih 'Isa our Lord.
