Romans 8 has no characters and no narrative. The story is the structure. From no condemnation to no separation, with the Spirit of adoption crying Abba in us.

In this letter

- Katakrima (G2631) — the legal verdict of condemnation

- The flesh and the Spirit (vv. 5-13)

- Huiothesia (G5206) — adoption as a son, the Roman legal concept

- Abba — the Aramaic word Jesus prayed in Gethsemane

- The three groanings — creation, us, the Spirit

- Stenazo (G4727) — to groan deeply

- All things work together in context — not a bumper sticker

- The chain of vv. 29-30 — foreknew, predestined, called, justified, glorified

Scripture

- Romans 8:1-30

- Mark 14:36 (*Abba* in Gethsemane)
