English “which shall”  in Romans 8:18 and “things to come” in Romans 8:38 were both  translated from Greek verb 3195 mello which is a strengthened form of Greek verb 3199 melei in the sense of knowing and caring about a future event especially when God performs the action of Greek verb 3195 mello as is the case with “the world to come” in Matthew 12:32 and even more insightfully with “was for” and “shall” in Matthew 11:12-15 and Matthew 17:10-13 respectively. Greek transliterated Elias emboldened in this paragraph is Hebrew transliterated Elijah also emboldened in this paragraph. Elias is Elijah. John the Baptist fulfilled the role of Elijah [as prophesied in Luke 1:11-17] for God’s “seven thousand” “election” who receive “the spirit and power of Elias”/Elijah and of Jesus Christ during this earth age which “the rest” will receive during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day”. Matthew 11:12-15 says “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force” “ For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John” “ And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come” “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear”. Matthew 17:10-13 says ^“And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come”? “ And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things” “But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them” “Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist“. Malachi 4:5 says “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:” The “day of the Lord” of Malachi 4:5 is also “the Lord’s day” of Revelation 1:10 and the “day of the Lord Jesus” of 1Corinthians 5:5 and 2Corinthians 1:14 and “day of our Lord Jesus” of  1Corinthians 1:8 and “he hath appointed a day” in Acts 17:28-31 and the “one day” of 2Peter 3:8-10 “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day” “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up”. But beloved be not ignorant of this one thing “the Lord’s day” is the “thousand years” of 2Peter 3:8-10 which is also the “thousand years” of Revelation 20:2-7 God’s “seven thousand” “election” are the “us-ward” of 2Peter 3:8-10 “they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” which will occur between this earth age and the eternal age that follows. “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour” “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”.

English “be revealed” was translated from Greek verb 601 apokalypto meaning to take off the cover to reveal what is covered. 99 % of the time Greek verb 601 apokalypto means to take off the cover of flesh thoughts and feelings to reveal God’s intrinsic spiritual truth. In the context of Romans 8:18 Greek verb 601 apokalypto means to take off the cover of flesh covering God’s intrinsic light.

English “us” in Romans 8:18 above was translated from Greek pronoun 2248 hemas which is among the Greek pronouns that are integral to understanding God’s word. When Paul dictated the book of Romans and used the Greek pronoun 2248 hemas translated into “us” he is referring to himself, Jesus Christ and all the rest of God’s “election” who are God’s “saints” and “the sons of God” that follows in Romans 8:19. Greek pronoun 2248 hemas is among other Greek pronouns more fully explained after Romans 8:32. Greek verb 601 apokalypto means to take off the cover to reveal what is covered is the verb form of Greek noun 602 apokalypsis which was translated into English “manifestation” in Romans 8:19 which follows. Greek noun 602 apokalypsis was most often translated into English “revelation” and was translated into The “Revelation” of Jesus Christ in Revelation 1:1 which God’s “election” shall superimpose unto the rest of God’s creation during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” documented in Romans 8:21. Many of God’s “election” like Paul, have passed into heaven and God’s “light” is visible in their heavenly spiritual bodies. Romans 8:19’s “the creature” being everyone other than God’s “election” “saints” “sons of God” are in heaven waiting for the end of this earth age which will happen when seven thousand of God’s “election” complete transition from flesh thoughts and feelings to become entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways.

Romans 8:18 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.

English “glory” was translated from Greek noun 1391 doxa which is God’s light itself. Greek noun 1391 doxa was also translated into “glorious” in Romans 8:21 which shall occur between this earth age and the eternal earth age that follows.

Romans 8:17 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.

English “glorified together” was translated from Greek verb 4888 sundoxazo from a compound of Greek preposition 4862 sun denoting union and Greek verb 1392 doxazo meaning to glorify with God’s light, which was done away in flesh earthly bodies after Moses “But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away”. English “glory” in 2Corinthians 3:7 in prior bible sentence and Romans 8:18 to follow were both translated from Greek noun 1391 doxa being God’s light itself.  

Romans 8:15 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.

English “bondage” in Romans 8:15 above and in Romans 8:21 to follow were both translated from Greek noun 1397 douleia. God’s “election” who “have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear” in Romans 8:15 are segregated from those who “also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God” in Romans 8:21. 

Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.

The Apostle Paul is the “he” in “But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel” with English “chosen” being translated from Greek noun 1589 ekloge which was translated into English “election” in Romans 11:5, 7 and 28. Romans 11:5’s “Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace”  are those God said in Romans 11:4  “I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal”. Acts 9:15 identifies Paul as one of God’s “seven thousand” “election”. English “our” and “we” in Romans 8:16 identify God’s “election” as “the children of God” and “heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ” in Romans 8:17.

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

God’s “seven thousand” “election” are God’s “saints” God’s “firstfruits” “the children of God” in Romans 8:16 and “the sons of God” in Romans 8:14 above are the “our” and “we” in Romans 8:16.

English “ye shall” in Romans 8:13 “which shall”  in Romans 8:18 and “things to come” in Romans 8:38 were all translated from Greek verb 3195 mello which is a strengthened form of Greek verb 3199 melei in the sense of knowing and caring about a future event especially when God performs the action of Greek verb 3195 mello as is the case with “the world to come” in Matthew 12:32 and even more insightfully with “was for” and “shall” in Matthew 11:12-15 and Matthew 17:10-13 respectively. Greek transliterated Elias emboldened in this paragraph is Hebrew transliterated Elijah emboldened in this paragraph. Elias is Elijah. John the Baptist fulfilled the role of Elijah [as prophesied in Luke 1:11-17] for God’s “seven thousand” “election” who receive “the spirit  and  power  of Elias”/Elijah and of Jesus Christ during this earth age which “the rest” will receive during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day”. Matthew 11:12-15 says “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force” “ For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John” “ And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come” “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear”. Matthew 17:10-13 says “And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come”? “ And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things” “But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them” “Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist“. Malachi 4:5 says “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:” The “day of the Lord” of Malachi 4:5 is also “the Lord’s day” of Revelation 1:10 and the “day of the Lord Jesus” of 1Corinthians 5:5 and 2Corinthians 1:14 and “day of our Lord Jesus” of  1Corinthians 1:8 and “he hath appointed a day” in Acts 17:28-31 and the “one day” of 2Peter 3:8-10 “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day” “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up”. But beloved be not ignorant of this one thing “the Lord’s day” is the “thousand years” of 2 Peter 3:8-10 which is also the “thousand years” of Revelation 20:2-7 God’s “seven thousand” “election” are the “us-ward” of 2 Peter 3:8-10 “they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” which will occur between this earth age and the eternal age that follows. “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour” “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”.

English “mortify” was translated from Greek verb 2289 thanatoo which was translated into “killed” in Romans 8:36 and in  “As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed” and into “become dead” in “Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God”. Flesh thoughts and feelings kill spiritual life. God’s spiritual thoughts and ways displace flesh thoughts and feelings and kill the flesh while chosen human beings remain physically alive.

Romans 8:13 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.

English “after” in Romans 8:13 was translated from Greek preposition 2596 kata meaning down in the genitive case as grammatical objects are down from their grammatical subjects. Greek preposition 2596 kata was 107 times translated into English “according to” because a grammatical object’s thoughts are according to the thoughts of their grammatical subject.

Romans 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

English “debtors” was translated from Greek noun 3781 opheiletes being all God’s children, everyone ever born, relative to the price God paid in the embodiment of Jesus Christ on a Roman cross. Greek noun 5092 time is value relative to the price paid on the cross. Greek noun 5092 time was translated into “price” in Matthew 27:3-9  1Corinthians 6:20 and 1Corinthians 7:23 into “honour” in Romans 2:6-13 Romans 9:21 2Timothy 2:15-21 1Peter 1:7 and Revelation 21:22-27. If you “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” in every verse containing Greek words 3781-3786 and 5622-5624 whereby God can translate all those words for you and tell you everything you need to know to expunge your debt and most of what you need to know to bring God’s will to fruition.

The Greek preposition 2596 kata that was translated into English “after” in Romans 8:12 above and 8:13 were fully translated in prior posts. If you encounter an English emboldened word that is not defined refer to prior posts.

Romans 8:11 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.

English “quicken” was translated from Greek verb 2227 zoopoieo meaning to make spiritually alive. Greek verb 2227 zoopoieo was translated into “be made alive” in “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive” into “giveth life” in “Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life” into “have given life” in “Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law” into “quickeneth” in   “I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession” “For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will” and “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life”.

English “mortal” in Romans 8:11 above was translated from Greek adjective 2349 thnetos describing flesh mortal bodies without God’s Spirit.  Greek adjective 2349 thnetos was also translated into English “mortal” in 1Corinthians 15:53 and 54 “For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality” “So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory” and into “mortality” in “For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life”. English “clothed upon” refers to God’s Spirit which reflects God’s light/doxa/ “glory” in our “celestial bodies”. Please note that “the glory of the terrestrial” in 1Corinthians 15:40 was 410 years ago inexplicably mistranslated by a flesh human being from Greek adjective 1919 epigeios correctly translated into “earthly” in “This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish” and in “For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens”. English words “this tabernacle” above are our flesh biodegradable corruptible mortal “earthly” bodies. Judgment of the flesh translator who 410 years ago changed God’s adjective 1919 epigeios into “the glory of the terrestrial” will be left to God. God’s “election” of whom God said “I have reserved to myself” become immortal by retaining God’s spirit through this earth age thereby achieving “the first resurrection” of Revelation 20:5 & 6 while everyone other than God’s “election” are the spiritually “dead” of Revelation 20:5 and are susceptible to the spiritual “second death” of Revelation 20:6. “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed” “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed” “For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality”. Every human being ever born whose flesh body has died has “put on incorruption”. All human beings remaining alive at the seventh trump “shall be raised incorruptible” at that last trump. The verbs “put on incorruption” and “put on immortality” are different verbs performed at different times as documented in Revelation 20:4-6. God’s “election” “which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years”. English “mark” in previous bible quote was translated from Greek noun 5480 charagma which tells us what the “mark” is and subsequently who the “beast” is because English “graven” in Acts 17:29 was translated from Greek 5480 charagma which was translated into English “mark” in Revelation 13:16, 13:17, 14:9, 14:11, 15:2, 16:2, 19:20 and 20:4. If you understand none of God’s other biblical spiritual truth understand Greek 5480 charagma and understand that the “beast” in Revelation 13:16, 13:17, 14:9, 14:11, 15:2, 16:2, 19:20 and 20:4 is any grammatical subject other than God, which is every flesh human grammatical subject other than Jesus Christ. English “device” in Acts 17:29 was translated from Greek noun 1761 enthymesis being flesh thoughts while English “art” in Acts 17:29 was translated from Greek noun 5078 techne being the product of flesh thoughts and feelings which this eighth chapter of Romans tells us is all bad all the time. God’s “election” will cause the rest of creation, every other human being ever born, “to come unto the knowledge of the truth” because “they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” between the end of this earth age and the eternal earth age that follows. God’s light/doxa/glory will be visible in the “incorruptible” “immortal” “spiritual” “heavenly” bodies of God’s “election” on the first day of the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” “day of the Lord Jesus”  “the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded” “the rest” will be in “incorruptible” “mortal”  “spiritually” “dead” bodies without light/doxa/glory who on the first day of the “thousand years” will judge themselves as they judged others “Judge not, that ye be not judged” “For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again”. The credibility of God’s “election” will be greatly enhanced during the “thousand years” by the visibility of their light/doxa/glory. The crux of the bible and God’s will is this: “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour” “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”. These are two of the most accurately translated English verses in the bible. Please study every verse containing every Greek word in 2Timothy 2:15-21 and 1Timothy 2:1-6 whereby God can define each Greek word for you. If someone completes the process noted in the previous sentence and wants to ask a related question in my post  “comments” I will do my best to provide an answer in an ensuing post.     

English “life” in 2Corinthians 5:4 above was translated from Greek noun 2222 zoe being spiritual life in above context.  Greek noun 2222 zoe was translated into “life” in “For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting” “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life”. English “on” in previous bible verse John 6:47 was translated from Greek preposition 1519 eis indicating the point entered of place, time, or  purpose of thought. Greek preposition 1519 eis appears in the bible 1,774 times most often between various tenses of English “believe” and English proper nouns “Jesus” and “God”. Greek preposition 1519 eis is not a casual belief in Jesus and God.  Greek preposition 1519 eis is entering into the same place, time, and purpose of thought of Jesus and God. Flesh translators some 410 years ago mistranslated Greek preposition 1519 eis into casual English “in” and “on” are among the most egregious mistranslations in the bible and exemplifies why the bible instructs us to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”.

Romans 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

English “the body is dead” above is figurative subsequent to flesh thoughts and feelings being dead in deference to God’s spiritual thoughts and ways while we are yet in a flesh live bios/body. Please search [dead with Christ] to confirm what I say.

English “righteousness” was translated from Greek noun 1343 dikaiosune being right in union with God’s definition of right.
