< Romans 8 >

1 There is, therefore, now no condemnation for those who are in union with Christ Jesus;
No therefore now condemnation to those in Christ Jesus (not according to flesh walk but according to spirit. *K)
2 for through your union with Christ Jesus, the Law of the life-giving Spirit has set you free from the Law of sin and death.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set free (you *N+KO) from the law of sin and of death.
3 What Law could not do, in so far as our earthly nature weakened its action, God did, by sending his own Son, with a nature resembling our sinful nature, to atone for sin. He condemned sin in that earthly nature,
For powerless [being] the law, in that it was weak through the flesh, God His own Son having sent in likeness of flesh of sin and for sin condemned sin in the flesh,
4 so that the requirements of the Law might be satisfied in us who live now in obedience, not to our earthly nature, but to the Spirit.
so that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us not according to [the] flesh walking but according to [the] Spirit.
5 They who follow their earthly nature are earthly-minded, while they who follow the Spirit are spiritually minded.
Those for according to flesh being the [things] of the flesh mind those however according to Spirit the [things] of the Spirit.
6 To be earthly-minded means death, to be spiritually minded means life and peace;
The for mind of the flesh [is] death, the but mind of the Spirit life and peace.
7 because to be earthly-minded is to be an enemy to God, for such a mind does not submit to the Law of God, nor indeed can it do so.
because the mind of the flesh [is] hostility toward God; for the law of God not it is subject, nor even for can it [be];
8 They who are earthly cannot please God.
Those now in flesh being God to please not are able;
9 You, however, are not earthly but spiritual, since the Spirit of God lives within you. Unless a person has the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ;
You yourselves now not are in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed if indeed Spirit of God dwells in you. if however anyone [the] Spirit of Christ not has, he not is of Him.
10 but, if Christ is within you, then, though the body is dead as a consequence of sin, the spirit is life as a consequence of righteousness.
If now Christ [is] in you, the indeed body [is] dead on account of sin the however Spirit [is] life on account of righteousness.
11 And, if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives within you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give life even to your mortal bodies, through his Spirit living within you.
If now the Spirit of the [One] having raised up Jesus out from [the] dead dwells in you, the [One] having raised up Christ out from [the] dead (Jesus *O) will give life also to the mortal bodies of you on account of (the dwelling *N+kO) of His (Spirit *N+kO) in you.
12 So then, friends, we owe nothing to our earthly nature, that we should live in obedience to it.
So then, brothers, debtors we are not to the flesh according to flesh to live;
13 If you live in obedience to your earthly nature, you will inevitably die; but if, by the power of the Spirit, you put an end to the evil habits of the body, you will live.
If for according to flesh you live, you are about to die; if however by [the] Spirit the deeds of the body you put to death, you will live.
14 All who are guided by the Spirit of God are children of God.
As many as for by [the] Spirit of God are led, these sons of God are.
15 For you did not receive the spirit of a slave, to fill you once more with fear, but the spirit of a child by adoption, which leads us to cry “Abba, our Father.”
Not for you have received a spirit of bondage again to fear, but you have received [the] Spirit of divine adoption as sons by whom we cry; Abba O Father!
16 The Spirit himself unites with our spirits in bearing witness to our being God’s children,
Himself the Spirit bears witness with the spirit of us that we are children of God.
17 and if children, then heirs – heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ, since we share Christ’s sufferings in order that we may also share his glory.
If now children, also heirs; heirs indeed of God joint-heirs however of Christ; if indeed if indeed we suffer with [Him] so that also we shall be glorified together.
18 I do not count the sufferings of our present life worthy of mention when compared with the glory that is to be revealed and bestowed on us.
I reckon for that not comparable the sufferings of the present time [are] to the coming glory to be revealed to us.
19 All nature awaits with eager expectation the appearing of the sons of God.
The for earnest expectation of the creation the revelation of the sons of God awaits;
20 For nature was made subject to imperfection – not by its own choice, but owing to him who made it so –
To the for futility the creation was subjected, not willingly but because of the [One] having subjected [it], in hope
21 yet not without the hope that some day nature, also, will be set free from enslavement to decay, and will attain to the freedom which will mark the glory of the children of God.
for also itself the creation will be set free from the bondage of decay into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
22 We know, indeed, that all nature alike has been groaning in the pains of labour to this very hour.
We know for that all the creation groans together and it travails together until now;
23 And not nature only; but we ourselves also, though we have already a first gift of the Spirit – we ourselves are inwardly groaning, while we eagerly await our full adoption as sons – the redemption of our bodies.
Not only [so] now, but even ourselves the firstfruit of the Spirit having we ourselves also ourselves in ourselves groan divine adoption as sons awaiting, the redemption of the body of us.
24 By our hope we were saved. But the thing hoped for is no longer an object of hope when it is before our eyes; for who hopes for what is before his eyes?
In this for hope we were saved; hope however being seen not is hope; what for sees any (why also *KO) does he hope for [it]?
25 But when we hope for what is not before our eyes, then we wait for it with patience.
If however what not we see we hope for, in patience we await.
26 So, also, the Spirit supports us in our weakness. We do not even know how to pray as we should; but the Spirit himself pleads for us in sighs that can find no utterance.
Likewise now also the Spirit joins to help (the *N+kO) (weakness *N+KO) of us; the for things which (we may pray for *NK+o) as it behooves not we know, but Himself the Spirit makes intercession (for *k) (of us *K) with groanings inexpressible;
27 Yet he who searches all our hearts knows what the Spirit’s meaning is, because the pleadings of the Spirit for Christ’s people are in accordance with his will.
The [One] now searching hearts knows what [is] the mindset of the Spirit, because according to God He intercedes for [the] saints.
28 But we do know that God causes all things to work together for the good of those who love him – those who have received the call in accordance with his purpose.
We know now that to those loving God all things works together (God *O) for good, to those according to [His] purpose called being.
29 For those whom God chose from the first he also destined from the first to be transformed into likeness to his Son, so that his Son might be the eldest among many brothers and sisters.
For those whom He foreknew, also He predestined [to be] conformed to the image of the Son of Him for to be Him firstborn among many brothers;
30 And those whom God destined for this he also called; and those whom he called he also pronounced righteous; and those whom he pronounced righteous he also brought to glory.
Those whom then He predestined, these also He called; and whom He called, these also He justified; whom then He justified, these also He glorified.
31 What are we to say, then, in the light of all this? If God is on our side, who can there be against us?
What then will we say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [can be] against us?
32 God did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up on behalf of us all; will he not, then, with him, freely give us all things?
He who indeed [his] own Son not spared, but for us all gave up Him, how surely also with Him the [things] all us will He grant?
33 Who will bring a charge against any of God’s people? He who pronounces them righteous is God!
Who will bring an accusation against [the] elect of God? God [is] who is justifying;
34 Who is there to condemn them? He who died for us is Christ Jesus! – or, rather, it was he who was raised from the dead, and who is now at God’s right hand and is even pleading on our behalf!
Who [is] the [one] condemning? [For it is] Christ (Jesus *NO) the [one] having died rather now (also *k) having been raised up (from dead *O) who also is at [the] right hand of God, who and is interceding for us.
35 Who is there to separate us from the love of the Christ? Will trouble, or difficulty, or persecution, or hunger, or nakedness, or danger, or the sword?
Who us will separate from the love of Christ? Tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
36 Scripture says – “For your sake we are being killed all the day long, We are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
Even as it has been written that For the sake of you we face death all the day, we were regarded as sheep of slaughter.
37 Yet amid all these things we more than conquer through him who loved us!
But in these things all we more than conquer through the [One who] having loved us;
38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor archangels, nor the present, nor the future, nor any powers,
I have been persuaded for that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor things being present nor things to come nor powers
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God revealed in Christ Jesus, our Lord!
nor height nor depth nor any created thing other will be able us to separate from the love of God in Christ Jesus the Lord of us.
