1.Because of what Jesus provides for us, now
there is no condemnation to those in Christ
Jesus, who do not continuously live their lives
as a result of the God-wannabe, but as a result
of the Spirit:
2.for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
frees me from the law of the sin and of the
death;
3.Because of the weakness of the law, which
was flawed and weak by means of the flesh
[God-wannabe], God sending His son in the
likeness of sinful flesh, and concerning sin,
convicts sin in the God-wannabe,
4.so that the righteousness (1345) of the law
may be fulfilled in us, who are not continuously
living as a result of the God-wannabe, but as a
result of the Spirit.
5.For those who exist according to the God-
wannabe continuously act out of the God-
wannabe; and those who exist according to the
Spirit continuously act out of the Spirit;
6.for the nature of the God-wannabe is death,
and the nature of the Spirit is life and peace;
7.because the nature of the God-wannabe is
enmity towards God, for the law of God it is
never being subject to,
8.for neither is it ever able to; and those
existing in the God-wannabe are never able to
please God.
9.Yet you all are not in the flesh (God-
wannabe), but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit
of God continuously dwells in you; and if any
one is not having the Spirit of Christ – this one
is not of Him.
10.Therefore if Christ is in you, the body,
indeed, is dead because of sin, yet the Spirit is
life because of righteousness (1343),
11.and if the Spirit of Him who did raise up
Jesus out of the dead continuously dwells in
you, He who did raise up the Christ out of the
dead shall also make alive all of your mortal
bodies, through His Spirit continuously
dwelling in you all.
12.Consequently, then, brethren, we are not to
be bound in our God-wannabe, to be
continuously living in accord with its nature;
13.for if according to the God-wannabe you all
are living, by the nature of things you all are to
be dying; yet if with the Spirit you all are putting
to death the functions of the mortal body, you
all shall be living.
14.for as many as are being carried with the
Spirit of God, these are sons of God;
15.for you all did not receive a spirit of
bondage again into fear, but you all did receive
a spirit of sonship in which we are crying,
“Father – Father.”
16.The Spirit Himself is testifying together with
our spirit, that we are children of God;
17.and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of
God, and joint-heirs of the inheritance of Christ
– if, indeed, we are suffering together, so that
we may also be glorified together (4888).
18.For I am continuously reckoning that the
sufferings of the present time are not of equal
value with the glory (1391) being about to be
revealed into us;
19.for the earnest expectation of the creation is
awaiting the unveiling of the sons of God;
20.for in futility was the creation being
subjected – not willingly, but because of the
one subjecting – toward the desire of good
coming about.
21.and that the creation itself shall be being
freed from the slavery of the corruption into
the liberty of the glory (1391) of the children of
God;
22.for we have known that all the creation is
groaning together, and is continuously
travailing in pain together till now
23.Yet not only so, but also we ourselves,
continuously having the first-fruit of the Spirit,
and we ourselves in ourselves are groaning
continuously, expecting sonship – the
deliverance of our bodies.
24.for in hope we were saved from the
consequences of sin, yet hope being seen with
the eye is not hope; for what any one is seeing,
why also is he hoping?
25.yet if that which we are not seeing we hope
for, through patience we are continuously
awaiting.
26.and in like manner also, the Spirit is aiding in
our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for as it
is continuously necessary, we have not known,
but the Spirit Himself is continuously making
intercession on behalf of us with unspoken
groaning.
27.and He who is continuously searching the
hearts has continuously known what is the
inclination of the Spirit, because in accord with
God he is continuously pleading for saints.
28.And we have known that to those
continuously loving God, all things are working
together for good, to those who are being
continuously called according to the plan.
29.because who He did foreknow, He also did
fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His
Son, that He might be first-born among many
brethren;
30.and whom He did fore-appoint, these also He
did call; and whom He did call, these also He
declared righteous (1344); and whom He
declared righteous (1344), these also He did
make glorious (1392).
31.What, then, shall we be saying unto these
things? If God is over us, who is against us?
32.Surely He who His own Son did not spare,
but for us all did deliver Him up, how shall He
not also together in Him pardon (5483) in us all
things in the future?
33.Who shall lay a charge against the cherished
ones of God? God is He that is continuously
justifying (1344),
34.who is the one continuously condemning?
Christ is the one dying, but rather also being
raised; who is also continuously on the right
hand of God - - who also is continuously
interceding on behalf of us.
35.Who shall separate us from the love of the
Christ? Tribulation, or distress, or persecution,
or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36.(according as it has been written – ‘For your
sake we are continuously being put to death all
the day long, we are reckoned as sheep of
slaughter,’)
37.but in all these we are continuously more
than conquering through the one loving us;
38.for I have been persuaded that neither
death, nor life, nor messengers (angels), nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things present,
nor things continuously impending,
39.nor height, nor depth, nor any other created
thing, shall be able to separate us from the
love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
there is no condemnation to those in Christ
Jesus, who do not continuously live their lives
as a result of the God-wannabe, but as a result
of the Spirit:
2.for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
frees me from the law of the sin and of the
death;
Jesus is able to free us from the
dilemma which Paul has just been
describing in verses 7:15-25 above.
3.Because of the weakness of the law, which
was flawed and weak by means of the flesh
[God-wannabe], God sending His son in the
likeness of sinful flesh, and concerning sin,
convicts sin in the God-wannabe,
- The flaw in the law was that it was
dependent on man’s willpower to fulfill it. - Jesus brings to an end the sin of trying
to be good in my own strength. He
brings to death the “bad root” and
replaces it with his life giving Spirit. We
need a legal transaction to occur in the
spiritual realm for us to be set free (see
Romans 7:3-4 above). - A major feature of this chapter is
that in Jesus, God sent the cure for
sin, rather than greater
condemnation for sin (which is
implied in most translations). He
changes our character, which then
results in us living from the Spirit in
us. What matters is who we are,
not what we do.
4.so that the righteousness (1345) of the law
may be fulfilled in us, who are not continuously
living as a result of the God-wannabe, but as a
result of the Spirit.
- The word here translated as
“righteousness” is Strong’s 1345,
dikaioma. It is a noun which is the
product, or result, of God implanting His
character in us. When we have the
“good root” in us, that “good root” will
produce “good fruit” – namely, we will
keep the laws of God by our very
nature. God in us can do nothing else!
(IWGUR page 83). See Endnote 6:7 for
more on this Greek word.
5.For those who exist according to the God-
wannabe continuously act out of the God-
wannabe; and those who exist according to the
Spirit continuously act out of the Spirit;
6.for the nature of the God-wannabe is death,
and the nature of the Spirit is life and peace;
“Bad roots” produce “bad fruit,” and
“good roots” (Jesus in us) produce
“good fruit” (IWGYR pages 40-42).
7.because the nature of the God-wannabe is
enmity towards God, for the law of God it is
never being subject to,
8.for neither is it ever able to; and those
existing in the God-wannabe are never able to
please God.
9.Yet you all are not in the flesh (God-
wannabe), but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit
of God continuously dwells in you; and if any
one is not having the Spirit of Christ – this one
is not of Him.
- Some areas of our “honeycomb” (see
note at Romans 6:11) are filled with
Jesus, and those “good roots” produce
“good fruit.” Some other areas are filled
with sin; and those “bad roots” produce
“bad fruit” (IWGYR page 40). - This verse is not saying that if we sin,
we don’t have the Spirit of Christ and
are thus eternally lost. - Remember that “the flesh” is referring to
our God-wannabe and the deposits
(bitter roots) it makes inside us. When
Jesus has replaced a “bad root” in your
“honeycomb,” your God-wannabe is
gone from that root; and Jesus
continues to live there (IWGYR page 40).
10.Therefore if Christ is in you, the body,
indeed, is dead because of sin, yet the Spirit is
life because of righteousness (1343),
Strong’s 1343 (see note at Romans 6:
7). Righteousness means the nature
and quality of God’s character.
11.and if the Spirit of Him who did raise up
Jesus out of the dead continuously dwells in
you, He who did raise up the Christ out of the
dead shall also make alive all of your mortal
bodies, through His Spirit continuously
dwelling in you all.
12.Consequently, then, brethren, we are not to
be bound in our God-wannabe, to be
continuously living in accord with its nature;
Our God-wannabe plants “bad roots.”
Jesus sets us free from continuing to be
stuck with the “bad fruit” those “bad
roots” produce (IWGYR page 52-53).
13.for if according to the God-wannabe you all
are living, by the nature of things you all are to
be dying; yet if with the Spirit you all are putting
to death the functions of the mortal body, you
all shall be living.
The functions of what Paul here refers
to as the “mortal body” are the “bad
roots” planted by our God-wannabe.
14.for as many as are being carried with the
Spirit of God, these are sons of God;
- When our “bad root” has been
transformed, the new “good root” is
Godly.
15.for you all did not receive a spirit of
bondage again into fear, but you all did receive
a spirit of sonship in which we are crying,
“Father – Father.”
16.The Spirit Himself is testifying together with
our spirit, that we are children of God;
17.and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of
God, and joint-heirs of the inheritance of Christ
– if, indeed, we are suffering together, so that
we may also be glorified together (4888).
- Strong’s #4888, sundaxazo. It is a verb
related to #1391, doxa, translated as
glory in the next verse. We are not
alone in this quest, but are meant to
walk out this process with our brothers
and sisters in Christ. See Endnote 8:17
for more.
18.For I am continuously reckoning that the
sufferings of the present time are not of equal
value with the glory (1391) being about to be
revealed into us;
- God uses our trials as a means of
changing us into the image of Jesus
(IWGYR pages 78-81).
Strong’s #1391, doxa, is a noun. Here it
means God’s splendor and holy
character. That is going to be revealed
in us in this life! Not only will we have
His character in us, this “good root” will
be evident to those around us. See
Endnote 8:17 for more.
19.for the earnest expectation of the creation is
awaiting the unveiling of the sons of God;
- Something inside us knows there is
something better than we have been
experiencing, and is looking for the
answer. - What God is wanting to do is produce a
new creature inside us (Galatians 6:15).
20.for in futility was the creation being
subjected – not willingly, but because of the
one subjecting – toward the desire of good
coming about.
- God uses our trials as means of
perfecting us - changing us into His
image (IWGYR pages 78-81).
21.and that the creation itself shall be being
freed from the slavery of the corruption into
the liberty of the glory (1391) of the children of
God;
- Strong’s #1391, here translated as
glory, is the same word as in verse 18
above.
22.for we have known that all the creation is
groaning together, and is continuously
travailing in pain together till now
23.Yet not only so, but also we ourselves,
continuously having the first-fruit of the Spirit,
and we ourselves in ourselves are groaning
continuously, expecting sonship – the
deliverance of our bodies.
- “Our bodies” refers to our “bad roots.”
(See Romans 8:13 above).
24.for in hope we were saved from the
consequences of sin, yet hope being seen with
the eye is not hope; for what any one is seeing,
why also is he hoping?
- We have to trust what we can not see
(and thus control). When Jesus
replaces the “bad root” with Himself (the
“good root”), this event is not
observable to the eye. It is only when
the new “good fruit” appears that we can
see it (IWGYR page 47). This is why it
takes trust that He is actually working
inside us when we pray as we need to,
to remove the “bad root” (IWGYR
Chapter 5).
25.yet if that which we are not seeing we hope
for, through patience we are continuously
awaiting.
26.and in like manner also, the Spirit is aiding in
our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for as it
is continuously necessary, we have not known,
but the Spirit Himself is continuously making
intercession on behalf of us with unspoken
groaning.
- The Holy Spirit inside us tells us when
we have a “bad root” inside. He sends
up a negative emotion as a signal so we
will know the “bad root” is there, and we
can then know where to apply the blood
of Jesus (IWGYR pages 174-176).
27.and He who is continuously searching the
hearts has continuously known what is the
inclination of the Spirit, because in accord with
God he is continuously pleading for saints.
- God knows our difficulty, and He wants
to set us free. (IWGYR page 84).
28.And we have known that to those
continuously loving God, all things are working
together for good, to those who are being
continuously called according to the plan.
- God is actively working out our
individual sanctification plan and is
guiding us in it by the Holy Spirit (see
verse 26 above, and IWGYR pages 87,
92).
29.because who He did foreknow, He also did
fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His
Son, that He might be first-born among many
brethren;
- I am not capable of solving the weighty
theological question of predestination.
What does seem clear in the context of
these verses is that God is the one who
initiated the plan to change us into the
image of Jesus. He made the provision
by sending Jesus, and He is now
purposefully working things together to
promote that agenda in our lives (verses
8:28 and 8:31). We are not left to
struggle through this difficult process on
our own, or to have to beg for His
reluctant help. Rather, He is out in front
of us, clearing the way and guiding us.
30.and whom He did fore-appoint, these also He
did call; and whom He did call, these also He
declared righteous (1344); and whom He
declared righteous (1344), these also He did
make glorious (1392).
- The word here translated as “righteous”
is Strong’s #1344, dikaioo. It is a verb
that means to be acquitted of guilt.
When you have been declared
righteous, it is as though you never
committed that sin! (IWGYR pages 40-
41). See Endnote 6:7 for more details.
The word here translated as “make
glorious” is Strong’s #1392, doxazo. It is
a verb that means to impart with God’s
character and attributes into the
“honeycomb,” IWGYR page 40), and
that character will then be evident
outwardly – “good fruit” from a “good
root” (IWGYR pages 34-35, 83-86).
See Endnote 8:17 for more on these
words.
31.What, then, shall we be saying unto these
things? If God is over us, who is against us?
32.Surely He who His own Son did not spare,
but for us all did deliver Him up, how shall He
not also together in Him pardon (5483) in us all
things in the future?
- Strong’s #5483 is charizomai. It is a
verb that means to pardon or remit the
penalty for sin; to graciously remit our
sins; to forgive us.
We don’t have to be afraid, or think that
we have to work out our lives on our
own. God is actively protecting and
leading, and is eager to wash us clean
with the blood of Jesus.
33.Who shall lay a charge against the cherished
ones of God? God is He that is continuously
justifying (1344),
34.who is the one continuously condemning?
Christ is the one dying, but rather also being
raised; who is also continuously on the right
hand of God - - who also is continuously
interceding on behalf of us.
35.Who shall separate us from the love of the
Christ? Tribulation, or distress, or persecution,
or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36.(according as it has been written – ‘For your
sake we are continuously being put to death all
the day long, we are reckoned as sheep of
slaughter,’)
37.but in all these we are continuously more
than conquering through the one loving us;
38.for I have been persuaded that neither
death, nor life, nor messengers (angels), nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things present,
nor things continuously impending,
39.nor height, nor depth, nor any other created
thing, shall be able to separate us from the
love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
You are secure from outside forces
because of His love for you – you don’t
have to strive or be your own protector
in order to be safe (IWGYR pages 75-
76).
- Your life is a continuous walk of being
changed into the image of Jesus. This
process will continue as long as you
walk this earth.
- “ But we all, with open face beholding as
in a glass the glory of the Lord, are
changed into the same image from glory
to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord
“(2 Corinthians 3:18, KJV).
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, and 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.
13For 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
what 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 groaning 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 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
they 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.
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, and 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.
13For 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
what 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 groaning 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 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
they 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.
Chapter 8 Endnotes
8:17: Strong’s #4888 is sundaxazo, a verb which appears in Romans 8:17. It is
related to two other words that appear in Romans, Chapter 8: #1391, doxa
(verses 18 and 21), and #1392, doxazo (verse 17). These words all involve the
glory of God, which is His glorious moral attributes, excellence, perfection, and
holiness. In other words, His character. In these scriptures In Romans 8 Paul is
not talking about God or describing Him. He is talking about Christians, and how
they can in fact have God’s divine character implanted in them. This is
astounding, and hard to believe; but Paul is describing how this can be true of us.
The fact that these three Greek words are clustered together says that Paul is
trying to make a point.
#1392 is doxazo, a verb, that means to make glorious, to bestow the divine
character and attributes.
#1391 is doxa, a noun which means the glorious moral attributes of God, the
divine nature.
#4888 is sundoxazo, a verb which means to glorify together.
