Romans 8-10
Contemporary English Version

Living by the Power of God's Spirit

8 If you belong to Christ Jesus, you won't be punished. 2 The Holy Spirit will give you life that comes from Christ Jesus and will set you[a] free from sin and death. 3 The Law of Moses cannot do this, because our selfish desires make the Law weak. But God set you free when he sent his own Son to be like us sinners and to be a sacrifice for our sin. God used Christ's body to condemn sin. 4 He did this, so that we would do what the Law commands by obeying the Spirit instead of our own desires.

5 People who are ruled by their desires think only of themselves. Everyone who is ruled by the Holy Spirit thinks about spiritual things. 6 If our minds are ruled by our desires, we will die. But if our minds are ruled by the Spirit, we will have life and peace. 7 Our desires fight against God, because they do not and cannot obey God's laws. 8 If we follow our desires, we cannot please God.

9 You are no longer ruled by your desires, but by God's Spirit, who lives in you. People who don't have the Spirit of Christ in them don't belong to him. 10 But Christ lives in you. So you are alive because God has accepted you, even though your bodies must die because of your sins. 11 (A) Yet God raised Jesus to life! God's Spirit now lives in you, and he will raise you to life by his Spirit.

12 My dear friends, we must not live to satisfy our desires. 13 If you do, you will die. But you will live, if by the help of God's Spirit you say “No” to your desires. 14 Only those people who are led by God's Spirit are his children. 15 (B)(C) God's Spirit doesn't make us slaves who are afraid of him. Instead, we become his children and call him our Father.[b] 16 God's Spirit makes us sure that we are his children. 17 His Spirit lets us know that together with Christ we will be given what God has promised. We will also share in the glory of Christ, because we have suffered with him.

A Wonderful Future for God's People

18 (D) I am sure what we are suffering now cannot compare with the glory that will be shown to us. 19 In fact, all creation is eagerly waiting for God to show who his children are. 20 (E) Meanwhile, creation is confused, but not because it wants to be confused. God made it this way in the hope 21 that creation would be set free from decay and would share in the glorious freedom of his children. 22 We know that all creation is still groaning and is in pain, like a woman about to give birth.

23 (F) The Spirit makes us sure about what we will be in the future. But now we groan silently, while we wait for God to show that we are his children.[c] This means that our bodies will also be set free. 24 And this hope is what saves us. But if we already have what we hope for, there is no need to keep on hoping. 25 However, we hope for something we have not yet seen, and we patiently wait for it.

26 In certain ways we are weak, but the Spirit is here to help us. For example, when we don't know what to pray for, the Spirit prays for us in ways that cannot be put into words. 27 (G) All of our thoughts are known to God. He can understand what is in the mind of the Spirit, as the Spirit prays for God's people. 28 We know that God is always at work for the good of everyone who loves him.[d] They are the ones God has chosen for his purpose, 29 and he has always known who his chosen ones would be. He had decided to let them become like his own Son, so his Son would be the first of many children. 30 God then accepted the people he had already decided to choose, and he has shared his glory with them.

God's Love

31 What can we say about all this? If God is on our side, can anyone be against us? 32 God did not keep back his own Son, but he gave him for us. If God did this, won't he freely give us everything else? 33 If God says his chosen ones are acceptable to him, can anyone bring charges against them? 34 Or can anyone condemn them? No indeed! Christ died and was raised to life, and now he is at God's right side,[e] speaking to him for us. 35 Can anything separate us from the love of Christ? Can trouble, suffering, and hard times, or hunger and nakedness, or danger and death? 36 (H) It is exactly as the Scriptures say,

“For you we face death
    all day long.
We are like sheep
on their way
    to be butchered.”

37 In everything we have won more than a victory because of Christ who loves us. 38 I am sure that nothing can separate us from God's love—not life or death, not angels or spirits, not the present or the future, 39 and not powers above or powers below. Nothing in all creation can separate us from God's love for us in Christ Jesus our Lord!

God's Choice of Israel

9 I am a follower of Christ, and the Holy Spirit is a witness to my conscience. So I tell the truth and I am not lying when I say 2 my heart is broken and I am in great sorrow. 3 I would gladly be placed under God's curse and be separated from Christ for the good of my own people. 4 (I) They are the descendants of Israel, and they are also God's chosen people. God showed them his glory. He made agreements with them and gave them his Law. The temple is theirs and so are the promises that God made to them. 5 They have those famous ancestors, who were also the ancestors of the Christ.[f] I pray that God, who rules over all, will be praised forever![g] Amen.

6 It cannot be said that God broke his promise. After all, not all of the people of Israel are the true people of God. 7-8 (J) In fact, when God made the promise to Abraham, he meant only Abraham's descendants by his son Isaac. God was talking only about Isaac when he promised 9 (K) Sarah, “At this time next year I will return, and you will already have a son.”

10 Don't forget what happened to the twin sons of Isaac and Rebekah. 11-12 (L) Even before they were born or had done anything good or bad, the Lord told Rebekah that her older son would serve the younger one. The Lord said this to show he makes his own choices and it wasn't because of anything either of them had done. 13 (M) That's why the Scriptures say that the Lord liked Jacob more than Esau.

14 Are we saying God is unfair? Certainly not! 15 (N) The Lord told Moses that he has pity and mercy on anyone he wants to. 16 Everything then depends on God's mercy and not on what people want or do. 17 (O) In the Scriptures the Lord says to the king of Egypt, “I let you become king, so that I could show you my power and be praised by all people on earth.” 18 Everything depends on what God decides to do, and he can either have pity on people or make them stubborn.

God's Anger and Mercy

19 Someone may ask, “How can God blame us, if he makes us behave in the way he wants us to?” 20 (P) But, my friend, I ask, “Who do you think you are to question God? Does the clay have the right to ask the potter why he shaped it the way he did? 21 (Q) Doesn't a potter have the right to make a fancy bowl and a plain bowl out of the same lump of clay?”

22 (R) God wanted to show his anger and reveal his power against everyone who deserved to be destroyed. But instead, he patiently put up with them. 23 He did this by showing how glorious he is when he has pity on the people he has chosen to share in his glory. 24 Whether Jews or Gentiles, we are those chosen ones, 25 (S) just as the Lord says in the book of Hosea,

“Although they are not
my people,
    I will make them my people.
I will treat with love
those nations
    that have never been loved.

26 (T) “Once they were told,
    ‘You are not my people.’
But in that very place
they will be called
    children of the living God.”

27 (U) And this is what the prophet Isaiah said about the people of Israel,

“The people of Israel
    are as many
as the grains of sand
    along the beach.
But only a few who are left
    will be saved.
28 The Lord will be quick
    and sure to do on earth
what he has warned
    he will do.”

29 (V) Isaiah also said,

“If the Lord All-Powerful
had not spared some
    of our descendants,
we would have been destroyed
like the cities of Sodom
    and Gomorrah.”[h]

Israel and the Good News

30 What does all of this mean? It means that the Gentiles were not trying to be acceptable to God, but they found that he would accept them if they had faith. 31-32 It also means that the people of Israel were not acceptable to God. And why not? It was because they were trying[i] to be acceptable by obeying the Law instead of by having faith in God. The people of Israel fell over the stone that makes people stumble, 33 (W) just as God says in the Scriptures,

“Look! I am placing in Zion
a stone to make people
    stumble and fall.
But those who have faith
in that one will never
    be disappointed.”

10 Dear friends, my greatest wish and my prayer to God is for the people of Israel to be saved. 2 I know they love God, but they don't understand 3 what makes people acceptable to him. So they refuse to trust God, and they try to be acceptable by obeying the Law. 4 But Christ makes the Law no longer necessary[j] for those who become acceptable to God by faith.

Anyone Can Be Saved

5 (X) Moses said a person could become acceptable to God by obeying the Law. He did this when he wrote, “If you want to live, you must do all the Law commands.”

6 (Y) But people whose faith makes them acceptable to God will never ask, “Who will go up to heaven to bring Christ down?” 7 Neither will they ask, “Who will go down into the world of the dead to raise him to life?”

8 All who are acceptable because of their faith simply say, “The message is as near as your mouth or your heart.” And this is the same message we preach about faith. 9 So you will be saved, if you honestly say, “Jesus is Lord,” and if you believe with all your heart that God raised him from death. 10 God will accept you and save you, if you truly believe this and tell it to others.

11 (Z) The Scriptures say no one who has faith will be disappointed, 12 no matter if that person is a Jew or a Gentile. There is only one Lord, and he is generous to everyone who asks for his help. 13 (AA) All who call out to the Lord will be saved.

14 How can people have faith in the Lord and ask him to save them, if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear, unless someone tells them? 15 (AB) And how can anyone tell them without being sent by the Lord? The Scriptures say it is a beautiful sight to see even the feet of someone coming to preach the good news. 16 (AC) Yet not everyone has believed the message. For example, the prophet Isaiah asked, “Lord, has anyone believed what we said?”

17 No one can have faith without hearing the message about Christ. 18 (AD) But am I saying that the people of Israel did not hear? No, I am not! The Scriptures say,

“The message was told
    everywhere on earth.
It was announced
    all over the world.”

19 (AE) Did the people of Israel understand or not? Moses answered this question when he told that the Lord had said,

“I will make Israel jealous
    of people
who are a nation
    of nobodies.
I will make them angry
    with people
who don't understand
    a thing.”

20 (AF) Isaiah was fearless enough to tell that the Lord had said,

“I was found by people
who were not looking
    for me.
I appeared to the ones
who were not asking
    about me.”

21 (AG) And Isaiah said about the people of Israel,

“All day long the Lord
    has reached out
to people who are stubborn
    and refuse to obey.”

  8. 9.29 Sodom and Gomorrah: During the time of Abraham the Lord destroyed these two cities because their people were so sinful.
  9. 9.31,32 because they were trying: Or “while they were trying” or “even though they were trying.”

Romans 8-10
New International Version

Life Through the Spirit

8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation(A) for those who are in Christ Jesus,(B) 2 because through Christ Jesus(C) the law of the Spirit who gives life(D) has set you[a] free(E) from the law of sin(F) and death. 3 For what the law was powerless(G) to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[b](H) God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh(I) to be a sin offering.[c](J) And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement(K) of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.(L)

5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires;(M) but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.(N) 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death,(O) but the mind governed by the Spirit is life(P) and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God;(Q) it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh(R) cannot please God.

9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh(S) but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you.(T) And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,(U) they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you,(V) then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[d] because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead(W) is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies(X) because of[e] his Spirit who lives in you.

12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.(Y) 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die;(Z) but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body,(AA) you will live.(AB)

14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God(AC) are the children of God.(AD) 15 The Spirit(AE) you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again;(AF) rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[f] And by him we cry, “Abba,[g] Father.”(AG) 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit(AH) that we are God’s children.(AI) 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs(AJ)—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings(AK) in order that we may also share in his glory.(AL)

Present Suffering and Future Glory

18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.(AM) 19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God(AN) to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it,(AO) in hope 21 that[h] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay(AP) and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.(AQ)

22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning(AR) as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit,(AS) groan(AT) inwardly as we wait eagerly(AU) for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.(AV) 24 For in this hope we were saved.(AW) But hope that is seen is no hope at all.(AX) Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.(AY)

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit(AZ) himself intercedes for us(BA) through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts(BB) knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes(BC) for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good(BD) of those who love him, who[i] have been called(BE) according to his purpose.(BF) 29 For those God foreknew(BG) he also predestined(BH) to be conformed to the image of his Son,(BI) that he might be the firstborn(BJ) among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined,(BK) he also called;(BL) those he called, he also justified;(BM) those he justified, he also glorified.(BN)

More Than Conquerors

31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things?(BO) If God is for us,(BP) who can be against us?(BQ) 32 He who did not spare his own Son,(BR) but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge(BS) against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns?(BT) No one. Christ Jesus who died(BU)—more than that, who was raised to life(BV)—is at the right hand of God(BW) and is also interceding for us.(BX) 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?(BY) Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?(BZ) 36 As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;
    we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[j](CA)

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors(CB) through him who loved us.(CC) 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[k] neither the present nor the future,(CD) nor any powers,(CE) 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God(CF) that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.(CG)

Paul’s Anguish Over Israel

9 I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying,(CH) my conscience confirms(CI) it through the Holy Spirit— 2 I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. 3 For I could wish that I myself(CJ) were cursed(CK) and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people,(CL) those of my own race,(CM) 4 the people of Israel.(CN) Theirs is the adoption to sonship;(CO) theirs the divine glory,(CP) the covenants,(CQ) the receiving of the law,(CR) the temple worship(CS) and the promises.(CT) 5 Theirs are the patriarchs,(CU) and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah,(CV) who is God over all,(CW) forever praised![l](CX) Amen.

God’s Sovereign Choice

6 It is not as though God’s word(CY) had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.(CZ) 7 Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”[m](DA) 8 In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children,(DB) but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.(DC) 9 For this was how the promise was stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”[n](DD)

10 Not only that, but Rebekah’s children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac.(DE) 11 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad(DF)—in order that God’s purpose(DG) in election might stand: 12 not by works but by him who calls—she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”[o](DH) 13 Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”[p](DI)

14 What then shall we say?(DJ) Is God unjust? Not at all!(DK) 15 For he says to Moses,

“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
    and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”[q](DL)

16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.(DM) 17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”[r](DN) 18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.(DO)

19 One of you will say to me:(DP) “Then why does God still blame us?(DQ) For who is able to resist his will?”(DR) 20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God?(DS) “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it,(DT) ‘Why did you make me like this?’”[s](DU) 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?(DV)

22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience(DW) the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction?(DX) 23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory(DY) known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory(DZ)— 24 even us, whom he also called,(EA) not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?(EB) 25 As he says in Hosea:

“I will call them ‘my people’ who are not my people;
    and I will call her ‘my loved one’ who is not my loved one,”[t](EC)

26 and,

“In the very place where it was said to them,
    ‘You are not my people,’
    there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”[u](ED)

27 Isaiah cries out concerning Israel:

“Though the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea,(EE)
    only the remnant will be saved.(EF)
28 For the Lord will carry out
    his sentence on earth with speed and finality.”[v](EG)

29 It is just as Isaiah said previously:

“Unless the Lord Almighty(EH)
    had left us descendants,
we would have become like Sodom,
    we would have been like Gomorrah.”[w](EI)

Israel’s Unbelief

30 What then shall we say?(EJ) That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;(EK) 31 but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness,(EL) have not attained their goal.(EM) 32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.(EN) 33 As it is written:

“See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble
    and a rock that makes them fall,
    and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[x](EO)

10 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire(EP) and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous(EQ) for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.(ER) 4 Christ is the culmination of the law(ES) so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.(ET)

5 Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”[y](EU) 6 But the righteousness that is by faith(EV) says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’”[z](EW) (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’”[aa](EX) (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).(EY) 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”[ab](EZ) that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare(FA) with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,”(FB) and believe(FC) in your heart that God raised him from the dead,(FD) you will be saved.(FE) 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[ac](FF) 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile(FG)—the same Lord is Lord of all(FH) and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord(FI) will be saved.”[ad](FJ)

14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”[ae](FK)

16 But not all the Israelites accepted the good news.(FL) For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”[af](FM) 17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message,(FN) and the message is heard through the word about Christ.(FO) 18 But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did:

“Their voice has gone out into all the earth,
    their words to the ends of the world.”[ag](FP)

19 Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says,

“I will make you envious(FQ) by those who are not a nation;
    I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”[ah](FR)

20 And Isaiah boldly says,

“I was found by those who did not seek me;
    I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me.”[ai](FS)

21 But concerning Israel he says,

“All day long I have held out my hands
    to a disobedient and obstinate people.”[aj](FT)
