Chapter 8 of Romans—American Standard Version (ASV)

  1. ¶ There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.
  2. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
  3. For what the law could not do, [a]in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of [b]sinful flesh [c]1and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
  4. that the [d]ordinance 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 mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
  6. For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:
  7. because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be:
  8. and 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 dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
  10. And if Christ is 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 dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies [e]through his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
  12. ¶ So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh:
  13. for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the [f]deeds of the body, ye shall live.
  14. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
  15. For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
  16. The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are 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 with him.
  18. ¶ For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward.
  19. For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God.
  20. For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, [g]in hope
  21. that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
  22. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain [h]together until now.
  23. And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
  24. For [i]in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: [j]for who [k]hopeth for that which he seeth?
  25. But if we hope for that which we see not, then do we with [l]patience wait for it.
  26. ¶ And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself 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, [m]because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
  28. And we know that to them that love God [n]all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose.
  29. For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:
  30. and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
  31. ¶ What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
  32. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?
  33. Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? [o]It is God that justifieth;
  34. who is he that condemneth? [p]It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
  35. Who shall separate us from the love [q]of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
  36. Even as it is written,
    2For thy sake we are killed all the day long;
    ¶ We were 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 things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
  39. nor height, nor depth, nor any other [r]creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
