Romans 8
1 There is, therefore, now no condemnation for those who are in union with Christ Jesus;
ουδεν αρα νυν κατακριμα τοις εν χριστω ιησου
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.
ο γαρ νομος του πνευματος της ζωης εν χριστω ιησου ηλευθερωσεν σε απο του νομου της αμαρτιας και του θανατου
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,
το γαρ αδυνατον του νομου εν ω ησθενει δια της σαρκος ο θεος τον εαυτου υιον πεμψας εν ομοιωματι σαρκος αμαρτιας και περι αμαρτιας κατεκρινεν την αμαρτιαν εν τη σαρκι
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.
ινα το δικαιωμα του νομου πληρωθη εν ημιν τοις μη κατα σαρκα περιπατουσιν αλλα κατα πνευμα
5 They who follow their earthly nature are earthly-minded, while they who follow the Spirit are spiritually minded.
οι γαρ κατα σαρκα οντες τα της σαρκος φρονουσιν οι δε κατα πνευμα τα του πνευματος
6 To be earthly-minded means death, to be spiritually minded means life and peace;
το γαρ φρονημα της σαρκος θανατος το δε φρονημα του πνευματος ζωη και ειρηνη
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.
διοτι το φρονημα της σαρκος εχθρα εις θεον τω γαρ νομω του θεου ουχ υποτασσεται ουδε γαρ δυναται
8 They who are earthly cannot please God.
οι δε εν σαρκι οντες θεω αρεσαι ου δυνανται
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;
υμεις δε ουκ εστε εν σαρκι αλλα εν πνευματι ειπερ πνευμα θεου οικει εν υμιν ει δε τις πνευμα χριστου ουκ εχει ουτος ουκ εστιν αυτου
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.
ει δε χριστος εν υμιν το μεν σωμα νεκρον δια αμαρτιαν το δε πνευμα ζωη δια δικαιοσυνην
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.
ει δε το πνευμα του εγειραντος τον ιησουν εκ νεκρων οικει εν υμιν ο εγειρας {VAR1: εκ νεκρων χριστον ιησουν ζωοποιησει [και] } {VAR2: χριστον εκ νεκρων ζωοποιησει και } τα θνητα σωματα υμων δια του ενοικουντος αυτου πνευματος εν υμιν
12 So then, friends, we owe nothing to our earthly nature, that we should live in obedience to it.
αρα ουν αδελφοι οφειλεται εσμεν ου τη σαρκι του κατα σαρκα ζην
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.
ει γαρ κατα σαρκα ζητε μελλετε αποθνησκειν ει δε πνευματι τας πραξεις του σωματος θανατουτε ζησεσθε
14 All who are guided by the Spirit of God are children of God.
οσοι γαρ πνευματι θεου αγονται ουτοι υιοι θεου εισιν
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.”
ου γαρ ελαβετε πνευμα δουλειας παλιν εις φοβον αλλα ελαβετε πνευμα υιοθεσιας εν ω κραζομεν αββα ο πατηρ
16 The Spirit himself unites with our spirits in bearing witness to our being God’s children,
αυτο το πνευμα συμμαρτυρει τω πνευματι ημων οτι εσμεν τεκνα θεου
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.
ει δε τεκνα και κληρονομοι κληρονομοι μεν θεου συγκληρονομοι δε χριστου ειπερ συμπασχομεν ινα και συνδοξασθωμεν
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.
λογιζομαι γαρ οτι ουκ αξια τα παθηματα του νυν καιρου προς την μελλουσαν δοξαν αποκαλυφθηναι εις ημας
19 All nature awaits with eager expectation the appearing of the sons of God.
η γαρ αποκαραδοκια της κτισεως την αποκαλυψιν των υιων του θεου απεκδεχεται
20 For nature was made subject to imperfection – not by its own choice, but owing to him who made it so –
τη γαρ ματαιοτητι η κτισις υπεταγη ουχ εκουσα αλλα δια τον υποταξαντα εφ ελπιδι
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.
οτι και αυτη η κτισις ελευθερωθησεται απο της δουλειας της φθορας εις την ελευθεριαν της δοξης των τεκνων του θεου
22 We know, indeed, that all nature alike has been groaning in the pains of labour to this very hour.
οιδαμεν γαρ οτι πασα η κτισις συστεναζει και συνωδινει αχρι του νυν
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.
ου μονον δε αλλα και αυτοι την απαρχην του πνευματος εχοντες {VAR1: [ημεις] } {VAR2: ημεις } και αυτοι εν εαυτοις στεναζομεν υιοθεσιαν απεκδεχομενοι την απολυτρωσιν του σωματος ημων
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?
τη γαρ ελπιδι εσωθημεν ελπις δε βλεπομενη ουκ εστιν ελπις ο γαρ βλεπει τις ελπιζει
25 But when we hope for what is not before our eyes, then we wait for it with patience.
ει δε ο ου βλεπομεν ελπιζομεν δι υπομονης απεκδεχομεθα
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.
ωσαυτως δε και το πνευμα συναντιλαμβανεται τη ασθενεια ημων το γαρ τι προσευξωμεθα καθο δει ουκ οιδαμεν αλλα αυτο το πνευμα υπερεντυγχανει στεναγμοις αλαλητοις
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.
ο δε εραυνων τας καρδιας οιδεν τι το φρονημα του πνευματος οτι κατα θεον εντυγχανει υπερ αγιων
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.
οιδαμεν δε οτι τοις αγαπωσιν τον θεον παντα συνεργει {VAR1: [ο θεος] } εις αγαθον τοις κατα προθεσιν κλητοις ουσιν
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.
οτι ους προεγνω και προωρισεν συμμορφους της εικονος του υιου αυτου εις το ειναι αυτον πρωτοτοκον εν πολλοις αδελφοις
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.
ους δε προωρισεν τουτους και εκαλεσεν και ους εκαλεσεν τουτους και εδικαιωσεν ους δε εδικαιωσεν τουτους και εδοξασεν
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?
τι ουν ερουμεν προς ταυτα ει ο θεος υπερ ημων τις καθ ημων
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?
ος γε του ιδιου υιου ουκ εφεισατο αλλα υπερ ημων παντων παρεδωκεν αυτον πως ουχι και συν αυτω τα παντα ημιν χαρισεται
33 Who will bring a charge against any of God’s people? He who pronounces them righteous is God!
τις εγκαλεσει κατα εκλεκτων θεου θεος ο δικαιων
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!
τις ο κατακρινων χριστος [ιησους] ο αποθανων μαλλον δε εγερθεις {VAR1: [εκ νεκρων] ος } {VAR2: ος και } εστιν εν δεξια του θεου ος και εντυγχανει υπερ ημων
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?
τις ημας χωρισει απο της αγαπης του χριστου θλιψις η στενοχωρια η διωγμος η λιμος η γυμνοτης η κινδυνος η μαχαιρα
36 Scripture says – “For your sake we are being killed all the day long, We are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
καθως γεγραπται οτι ενεκεν σου θανατουμεθα ολην την ημεραν ελογισθημεν ως προβατα σφαγης
37 Yet amid all these things we more than conquer through him who loved us!
αλλ εν τουτοις πασιν υπερνικωμεν δια του αγαπησαντος ημας
38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor archangels, nor the present, nor the future, nor any powers,
πεπεισμαι γαρ οτι ουτε θανατος ουτε ζωη ουτε αγγελοι ουτε αρχαι ουτε ενεστωτα ουτε μελλοντα ουτε δυναμεις
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!
ουτε υψωμα ουτε βαθος ουτε τις κτισις ετερα δυνησεται ημας χωρισαι απο της αγαπης του θεου της εν χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων
