Romans 8 Line Form

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

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

3 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:

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

5 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.

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

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

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

9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

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

17 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.

18 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.

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

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

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

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

23 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.

24 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?

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

26 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.

27 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.

28 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.

29 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.

30 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.

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

32 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?

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

34 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.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Paragraph Form Romans 8

[1] [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. [2] For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. [3] 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: [4] That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Why Is Romans 8 the Most Powerful Chapter in the Bible? 

This a youtube link to a good Video on Chapter 8 - https://youtu.be/-aO1ajXKePc The Bible Stories. The imagine are all AI generated. The voice maybe also. But as loong as its a literal translation, it is a good tool to understand where we stand with Jesus Christ. So Romans 7 Present the problem Paul is facing and Roman 8 in the Solution. I have serval other good sources with supporting sermons. At this link there are other sources https://beingberean.com/index.php/romans-8

Why is Romans 8 often called the most powerful chapter in the Bible? Because it speaks directly to the deepest fears, struggles, and questions every believer faces. Romans chapter 8 begins with one of the most life changing truths in Scripture: there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. From that moment on, the chapter unfolds into a breathtaking message of freedom, identity, hope, and the unbreakable love of God. In this video, we explore why Romans 8 has such incredible power, from victory over sin and the battle of the mind, to the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, adoption into God’s family, strength in suffering, and the promise that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. If you have ever struggled with guilt, fear, weakness, pain, or uncertainty about your future, this chapter speaks directly to your soul.

The Conflict of Two Natures Romans 7:14-25 then the solution in Romans 8

[14] For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. [15] For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. [16] If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that [it is] good. [17] Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. [18] For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but [how] to perform that which is good I find not. [19] For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. [20] Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. [21] I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. [22] For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: [23] But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. [24] O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? [25] I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. [Rom 7:14-25 KJV]

Why Paul? | Rightly Dividing with David Reid

wrong video link https://youtu.be/udT2rv7ndRo

 

AI from Google! Remember, be a good berean and Using KJB see if this correct. With AI always verify!

The correct video, titled "Why Paul? | Rightly Dividing with David Reid," focuses on understanding the specific purpose and uniqueness of the Apostle Paul's ministry. Rather than focusing on why Paul preferred a specific translation like the King James Bible, the sermon uses KJB verses to establish why God called Paul and how his ministry differs from the other apostles (0:00).

The speaker breaks this down into two central points using King James Bible verses:

1. Paul Has a Different Apostleship and Gospel

The video outlines that mainstream Christianity often assumes Paul taught the exact same message as Peter and the 12 apostles (0:19). Using several comparative verses, the speaker argues they actually had distinct missions (5:09):

• Different Gospels: Galatians 2:7 distinguishes between the "gospel of the uncircumcision" (committed to Paul) and the "gospel of the circumcision" (committed to Peter) (0:34).
• Different Audiences: In Matthew 10:5-6, Jesus explicitly commands the 12 apostles not to go to the Gentiles, but to focus on the "lost sheep of the house of Israel." (5:47) Conversely, in Romans 11:13, Paul declares himself "the apostle of the Gentiles." (6:19)
• Different Relationship to the Law: Acts 21:20 notes that the early Jewish believers under Peter's ministry were "all zealous of the law." (19:10) In contrast, Paul states in Romans 6:14 that believers today are "not under the law, but under grace." (14:27)

Pray for our Government

Today more than ever, we can see how Satan has misguided so many people in Government. Everyday a new scandal pops up.  I pray that our nation would be close to God in wisdom and Faith. We as Christians, need be in his word and declaring the wisdom of God! 

“Be a Berean”

Today, “being Berean” is a common encouragement in Christian circles. It means:

• Don’t accept every teaching, sermon, book, or idea at face value — even from respected leaders.
• Test everything against the Bible with an open but discerning heart.
• Study Scripture regularly and eagerly for yourself.
• Approach God’s Word with humility, expecting it to shape your beliefs.

When is mystery used in KJB?

In Paul's epistles (KJV), "the Body of Christ" is a major doctrinal truth revealed as part of the Mystery. It refers to the Church — all true believers in Jesus Christ, regardless of Jew or Gentile, who are spiritually united to Christ as members of one organism, with Christ Himself as the Head.

Key Definition & Passages

1. Christ is the Head; the Church is His Body

   Ephesians 1:22-23 "And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all."

   Colossians 1:18 "And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence."

   • The Body of Christ = the universal Church (not a building, denomination, or local assembly alone, but every born-again believer from Pentecost onward).

2. One Body — Jews and Gentiles Made One

   Ephesians 2:15-16 "Having abolished in his flesh the enmity... to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross..."

   Ephesians 3:6 (part of the Mystery) "That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel."

   This was hidden in past ages (the Mystery) — God is now forming one new spiritual body where believing Jews and Gentiles are equal members.

3. Many Members, One Body

   1 Corinthians 12:12-13, 27 "For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles... Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular."

   Romans 12:4-5 "For as we have many members in one body... So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another."

   • Every believer is a member (like a hand, foot, eye, etc.) with different gifts and functions, but all joined together under Christ the Head.
   • The Holy Spirit baptizes us into this Body at the moment of salvation.

4. How the Body Grows & Functions

   Ephesians 4:15-16 "But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth... maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love."

   Colossians 2:19 "And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God."

Summary of Paul's Teaching

• The Body of Christ is the Church, the new spiritual organism created at Pentecost and continuing today.
• It is not Israel (Paul distinguishes the two).
• Christ is the Head — He directs, nourishes, and has authority over it.
• Believers are members joined to Christ and to one another.
• This truth is central to the Mystery Paul received: Gentiles as full fellow-heirs in one Body (Ephesians 3).
• It is connected to the current dispensation of the grace of God — Paul’s stewardship to reveal and build up this Body.

This is one of the highest privileges of the believer: to be “in Christ” as part of His very Body.

In Paul's epistles (KJV), "dispensation" translates the Greek word oikonomia, meaning stewardship, administration, management, or a plan/commission to dispense or carry out something. It refers to how God arranges or entrusts His purposes—often a specific responsibility or era in God's dealings with humanity.

Paul uses the word in these key places:

1. "The dispensation of the grace of God" (Ephesians 3:2)

"If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward..."

• Meaning: This is the primary "this dispensation" likely referred to. It is the special stewardship or commission God gave Paul to administer/preach the gospel of grace to the Gentiles.
• Paul received this by revelation as part of the mystery (the Church age truths hidden in past ages—Gentiles as fellowheirs in one body with Jews in Christ). It connects directly to the previous discussion on mysteries.
• Paul is a "steward" dispensing God's grace (the unsearchable riches of Christ) to the Ephesians and other Gentiles.

2. "The dispensation of the fulness of times" (Ephesians 1:9-10)

"Having made known unto us the mystery of his will... That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him."

• Meaning: This refers to God's future administrative plan or period when He will sum up/head up all things under Christ's rule (a coming time of universal reconciliation and fulfillment). It is broader than the current age and points to the ultimate goal of God's purposes.

3. "The dispensation of God" (Colossians 1:25)

"Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God."

• Meaning: Again, Paul's God-given stewardship to minister the gospel (especially the mystery of "Christ in you, the hope of glory" to the Gentiles) to complete God's revelation.

Summary in context: In Paul's writings, "this dispensation" most often points to the current administration of God's grace through the gospel—specifically Paul's apostolic role in revealing and dispensing truths about the Church (the body of Christ) that were previously hidden. It is not primarily a long "age" or era (though dispensational theology builds on this idea), but a divine entrustment or management of God's program.

Paul contrasts this with prior ages (law, prophets, etc.), emphasizing that this is a new stewardship of grace for the Church until the "fullness of times."

In Romans 16:25 and a Caution from Peter 3:15-16

" Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began

2 Peter 3:15-16  And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;  As also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

In other words, get your out of the sand. This is a fact Jack!

In the King James Bible (KJB), the Apostle Paul uses the term "mystery" (from the Greek mystērion, meaning a secret or hidden truth now revealed by God) several times across his epistles. These refer to divine truths that were hidden in past ages but revealed through Paul (and sometimes other apostles/prophets) for the Church age.

Paul does not provide a single numbered list, but the key mysteries he explicitly names or describes are as follows, with direct KJV verses:

1. The mystery of the Gospel / the mystery of Christ (often central to Paul's message)
   • Romans 16:25-26: "Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest..."
   • Ephesians 6:19: "...to make known the mystery of the gospel."
   • Colossians 4:3-4: "...to speak the mystery of Christ..."
   • Colossians 2:2: "...the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ."
   • Colossians 1:26-27: "...the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: ... which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." This encompasses the full revelation of salvation through Christ's death and resurrection, including Christ indwelling believers.
2. The mystery of His will (God's plan to unite all things under Christ)
   • Ephesians 1:9-10: "Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ..."
3. The mystery of the Gentiles' inclusion / the fellowship of the mystery (Gentiles as fellow heirs with Jews in one body, the Church)
   • Ephesians 3:3-6: "...by revelation he made known unto me the mystery... Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel..."
   • Ephesians 3:9: "...to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God..."
4. The mystery of godliness (the incarnation and work of Christ)
   • 1 Timothy 3:16: "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."
5. The mystery of the partial blindness/hardening of Israel (until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in)
   • Romans 11:25: "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in."
6. The mystery of the Rapture / the change at Christ's coming (believers' bodies transformed)
   • 1 Corinthians 15:51: "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed..."
7. The mystery of lawlessness / iniquity (already at work, leading to the man of sin)
   • 2 Thessalonians 2:7: "For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way."
8. The mystery of marriage / Christ and the Church (as a profound union, illustrated by husband and wife)
   • Ephesians 5:31-32: "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church."

Paul also refers generally to "mysteries of God" (1 Corinthians 4:1: "Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God") and "the wisdom of God in a mystery" (1 Corinthians 2:7).

Many interpreters (especially in dispensational teaching) view these as interconnected aspects of one overarching "mystery" revealed uniquely to Paul—the gospel of grace, the Church as Christ's body, and related truths hidden from prior generations. The core emphasis is that these were not fully revealed in the Old Testament or earlier New Testament writings but made known through Paul for the Church.

What I have to say is that if you don't understand the mysteries that Paul teaches for us in this dispensation. then Gods word will be confusing in your reading of any other part of Gods Word.

I went to another AI which I won't use again. These mysteries are not accepted. This is what mans religion does to the Word of God when they don't like what it says. The Bible is all the Word of God. Paul is the apostle to the Gentiles, US!

Prophecies fulfilled by Christ

In being a berean these prophecies were used to analysis Paul's teaching. Here is a clear, organized list of major Old Testament prophecies from the King James Bible that were fulfilled by Jesus Christ, along with their New Testament fulfillments.

The New Testament writers frequently point these out to demonstrate that Jesus is the promised Messiah. While scholars identify hundreds of prophecies and typological references fulfilled in Christ (some counts exceed 300 when including broader themes), the following are among the most direct and widely recognized. I have quoted key verses directly from the King James Version (KJV).

Prophecies of His Birth and Early Life

1. Born of a virgin Prophecy (Isaiah 7:14): “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Fulfillment: Matthew 1:22-23 (the virgin birth of Jesus; note the spelling “Emmanuel” in the NT quotation).
