Romans 8
1 Because [God has erased the record of our sins because we trust in what Christ has done for us], now [God will] not condemn and punish those/us who have a relationship with (OR, are united to) Christ Jesus.
Portanto, agora não há condenação para aqueles que estão em Cristo Jesus, que não andam segundo a carne, mas segundo o Espírito.
2 [God’s] Spirit causes us to live [in a new way] [PRS] as a result of what Christ Jesus [did for us]. And he has set up a way by which he frees [each of] us from continually being forced to sin (OR, to obey our self-directed natures) and from being separated from God.
Pois a lei do Espírito da vida em Cristo Jesus me libertou da lei do pecado e da morte.
3 What [we] could not do [by trying to obey] the laws [of God] [PRS], because our self-directed nature was too weak [to obey them], God did. He sent his own Son [into the world in order that his Son might atone] for our sin. His Son came having a body (OR, human nature) that was like [the body] (OR, the [human nature]) of us people who sin. [By sending his Son in this way], he condemned and punished [his Son, who never sinned, instead of punishing us, who] sinned [MTY]. He did that [by making his Son’s] body [a sacrifice] (OR, [by causing his Son’s] body [to suffer/die]) for [all our] sin.
Pelo que a lei não podia fazer, pois era fraca pela carne, Deus fez, enviando seu próprio Filho à semelhança da carne pecaminosa e pelo pecado, condenou o pecado na carne,
4 So we can [now] fulfill all that God required in his laws. We do this, not by our acting the way our sinful human nature [desires], but instead by living as [God’s] Spirit [desires us to live].
para que a ordenança da lei se cumprisse em nós que não andamos segundo a carne, mas segundo o Espírito.
5 People who live according to what their self-directed nature [desires] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires]. But people who [live] according to what [God’s] Spirit [desires think about and are concerned about] what [God’s] Spirit [desires].
Para aqueles que vivem segundo a carne, fixam suas mentes nas coisas da carne, mas aqueles que vivem segundo o Espírito, as coisas do Espírito.
6 Those people who [PRS] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires] will not live eternally (OR, will be separated from God). But those people who think about and are concerned about what [God’s] Spirit [desires] will live [eternally] and have [inner] peace.
Pois a mente da carne é morte, mas a mente do Espírito é vida e paz;
7 Let me explain this. [To the extent that] people [PRS] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires], they are acting contrary to God. They do not obey the laws of God. In fact, they are not even able [to obey his laws].
porque a mente da carne é hostil para com Deus, pois não está sujeita à lei de Deus, nem pode estar.
8 The people who let their self-directed nature [control them] cannot do what pleases God.
Aqueles que estão na carne não podem agradar a Deus.
9 But we do not have to let our self-directed nature [control us]. Instead, we can [let] God’s Spirit [control us], because he lives within us. If people do not have [living in them] the Spirit [who comes from] Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
Mas você não está na carne, mas no Espírito, se é para que o Espírito de Deus habite em você. Mas se algum homem não tem o Espírito de Cristo, ele não é dele.
10 But since Christ [is living in you/us by his Spirit, although] your/our bodies [are certain to] die because you/we sin, your/our spirits are alive because God has erased the record of your/our sins.
Se Cristo está em vós, o corpo está morto por causa do pecado, mas o espírito está vivo por causa da justiça.
11 [God] caused Jesus to live again after he died. And because his Spirit lives in you/us, [God] will also make your/our bodies, which [now] are sure to die, live [again after you/we die]. God, who caused Christ to live again after he died, will make you/us live again by [causing] his Spirit, who lives within you/us, [to do it].
Mas se o Espírito daquele que ressuscitou Jesus dos mortos habita em você, aquele que ressuscitou Jesus Cristo dos mortos também dará vida a seus corpos mortais através de seu Espírito que habita em você.
12 Therefore, my fellow believers, we must [live as the Spirit directs us]. What we do not have to do is to live as our self-directed nature [guides us].
Portanto, irmãos, somos devedores, não à carne, de viver depois da carne.
13 If you live the way your self-directed nature [directs], you will surely not live [eternally] (OR, will surely be eternally separated from God). But if by [the power of God’s] Spirit you quit doing the [sinful] things that your bodies [desire] [MET], you will live eternally.
Pois se viverdes depois da carne, deveis morrer; mas se, pelo Espírito, matardes as obras do corpo, vivereis.
14 We who are guided by the Spirit of God {allow the Spirit of God to guide us} are God’s children.
Pois todos os que são guiados pelo Espírito de Deus, estes são filhos de Deus.
15 [You have showed that this is true], because you received [from God] a Spirit that is not one that makes you fear [God] again. You are not like slaves who [fear their masters] [MET]. On the contrary, we have received a Spirit by whose [work in our hearts God] has adopted us. The Spirit now enables us to cry out [to God], “[You(sg) are my] Father [DOU]!”
Pois não recebestes novamente o espírito de escravidão para temer, mas recebestes o Espírito de adoção, pelo qual gritamos: “Abba! Pai!”.
16 The Spirit himself confirms what our spirits [say], that we are God’s children.
O próprio Espírito testemunha com nosso espírito que somos filhos de Deus;
17 Because we are [God’s] children, we also will some day receive/inherit [eternal blessings/privileges]. We will receive/inherit them from God, and we will [also] receive/inherit [them] just like Christ has [inherited them]. But we must suffer [for doing good] as Christ did, in order to receive splendor as he did.
e se filhos, então herdeiros de Deus e co-herdeiros com Cristo, se de fato sofremos com Ele, que também podemos ser glorificados com Ele.
18 I consider that what we suffer during the present time is not worth [paying attention to, because] the future splendor/glory that will be revealed {that [God] will reveal} to us [is so great].
Pois eu considero que os sofrimentos deste tempo presente não são dignos de serem comparados com a glória que será revelada para nós.
19 The [things that God has] created are very eagerly waiting for [the time] [PRS, DOU] when God will reveal who his [true] children are.
Pois a criação espera com ardente expectativa que os filhos de Deus sejam revelados.
20 [God] caused the things that he created to be unable to achieve [what he had purposed. That was] not because they wanted to [be unable to do that]. On the contrary, [God] made them that way because he wanted them to keep confidently expecting
Pois a criação foi submetida à vaidade, não por sua própria vontade, mas por causa daquele que a submeteu, na esperança
21 that the things that [he] created will be freed {that [he] will free the things that [he] created} from their sure decay [MET]. [He] will free them in order that [he can give them] the same glory that belongs to his children.
de que a própria criação também será libertada da escravidão da decadência para a liberdade da glória dos filhos de Deus.
22 We know that until now [it is as though] all [things] that God created have been groaning together, [and they long for that glory, just like a mother having the pains before bearing a child] groans [and longs for her baby’s birth] [MET].
Pois sabemos que toda a criação geme e sofre juntas até agora.
23 Not only [do those things groan], but we ourselves also groan inwardly. We who have [God’s] Spirit, who is like a partial gift [MET] we have received as we wait for [the future glory, groan inwardly]. We groan while we wait eagerly for the time when we will receive our [full] rights as God’s adopted children. That [will include] his freeing our bodies [from the things that hinder us on earth. He will do this by giving us new bodies].
Não só assim, mas também nós mesmos, que temos as primícias do Espírito, até mesmo nós mesmos gememos dentro de nós mesmos, esperando a adoção, a redenção de nosso corpo.
24 Ever since we were saved {since [God] saved us}, we have continued to confidently expect [that future glory]. If we had what we waited for, we would not [need to] wait for it any longer, because those who have something, certainly do not continue to wait for it! [RHQ]
Pois fomos salvos na esperança, mas a esperança que se vê não é esperança. Pois quem espera aquilo que ele vê?
25 But because we keep waiting expectantly to receive what we do not yet have, we wait for it eagerly and patiently/perseveringly.
Mas se esperamos por aquilo que não vemos, esperamos por aquilo com paciência.
26 Similarly, in addition to our continuing to wait for what God will give us, God’s Spirit helps us when our spirits feel weak. We do not know what is proper/necessary for us to pray. But God’s Spirit knows, and he prays for us when we groan (OR, he groans) in a way that cannot be expressed in words (OR, prays with us, groaning in a way that cannot be expressed in words).
Da mesma forma, o Espírito também ajuda nossas fraquezas, pois não sabemos como orar como deveríamos. Mas o próprio Espírito intercede por nós com gemidos que não podem ser pronunciados.
27 God, who examines our inner feelings, understands what his Spirit desires. What God understands is that his Spirit prays for us who belong to God exactly as God wants him to pray.
Aquele que busca os corações sabe o que está na mente do Espírito, porque ele intercede pelos santos segundo Deus.
28 And we know that to those/us who love God, he works out all things that happen [to them/us] in a way that produces good [spiritual] benefits [for us]. He does these things for those/us whom he has chosen, because that was (OR, was according to) what he planned to do.
Sabemos que todas as coisas funcionam juntas para o bem daqueles que amam a Deus, para aqueles que são chamados de acordo com seu propósito.
29 God knew previously [that we would believe] in him (OR, [would be saved]). We are those who God also decided previously would develop a character like his Son’s character. The result of that is that [Christ is like] a firstborn/highest-ranking [son], and [those/we who are God’s children] [MET] are [like] [MET] many [younger] brothers [of Jesus].
Para quem ele antepassou, ele também predestinou a ser conforme a imagem de seu Filho, para que ele pudesse ser o primogênito entre muitos irmãos.
30 And us who God decided previously [that we would become like his Son], he also summoned. And for us whom he summoned, he also erased the record of our sins. And for us whose record of sins he has erased, he also will surely give future splendor.
Para quem ele predestinou, aqueles que ele também chamou. A quem ele chamou, aqueles que ele também justificou. A quem ele justificou, aqueles que ele também glorificou.
31 So (I will tell you what we must conclude from [all] these things [that God does for us]./what shall we conclude from [all] these things [that God does for us]?) [RHQ] Because God [is acting] on our behalf, (no one can win against us!/can anyone defeat us? (OR, it does not matter if anyone opposes us)!) [RHQ]
O que diremos então sobre estas coisas? Se Deus é a nosso favor, quem pode estar contra nós?
32 God did not spare even his very own Son. Instead, he turned him over [to others to cruelly kill him] in order that all we [who believe in him] may benefit [from his dying for us. Therefore, because God did that], (he will also certainly give us freely everything [that we need to live for him], in addition to [giving us] Christ./will he not also certainly give us freely everything [that we need to live for him], in addition to [giving us] Christ?) [RHQ]
Aquele que não poupou seu próprio Filho, mas o entregou por todos nós, como não nos daria também com Ele todas as coisas de graça?
33 It is God himself who erases the record of our sins. So (no one who accuses us [before God will win against us] (OR, [it does not matter] if anyone tries to accuse us) whom God has chosen./is it possible that anyone who accuses us [before God] will win against us (OR, does it matter if anyone tries to accuse us) whom God has chosen?) [RHQ]
Quem poderia apresentar uma acusação contra os escolhidos de Deus? É Deus quem justifica.
34 It is Christ Jesus himself who pleads [with God] for us, so (no one can condemn us (OR, say that we are still guilty for our sin)./can anyone condemn us (OR, say that we are still guilty for our sin)?) [RHQ] Christ died [for us], but he was also brought back to life {[God] also raised him from the dead}, and he is now at the place of honor [ruling] with God [MTY].
Quem é aquele que condena? É Cristo que morreu, sim, que ressuscitou dos mortos, que está à direita de Deus, que também intercede por nós.
35 Absolutely no one and nothing can cause Christ to stop loving us! [RHQ] That could not [RHQ] happen [because someone] caused us to have trouble [DOU], or [because someone did things to] harm us, or [because we did] not have anything to eat, or [because we did] not have enough clothes, or [because we lived in a] dangerous situation, or [because someone killed us with] a sword [MTY] (OR, murdered us).
Quem nos separará do amor de Cristo? A opressão, ou angústia, ou perseguição, ou fome, ou nudez, ou perigo, ou espada?
36 [Such things may happen to us, just like] it is written {[as David] wrote} [that David said to God], “Because we are your [(sg)] people, [other people repeatedly attempt to] kill us. They consider that we are [only people to be killed], [like a butcher considers] that sheep are [only] animals to be slaughtered [MET].”
Even, como está escrito, “Para seu bem, somos mortos o dia inteiro. Fomos contabilizados como ovelhas para o abate”.
37 But even though all these bad things [may happen to us], we win a great victory/triumph [over these things because Christ], who loves us, [helps us].
Não, em todas estas coisas somos mais do que conquistadores através dele que nos amou.
38 I am absolutely certain that neither being dead (OR, being killed), nor [what happens to us while] we live, nor angels, nor demons, nor present events, nor future events, nor powerful [beings/forces],
Pois estou convencido de que nem a morte, nem a vida, nem os anjos, nem os principados, nem as coisas presentes, nem as coisas futuras, nem os poderes,
39 nor [powerful beings] above [the horizon] or below [the horizon] [MTY], nor anything else that [God has] created can cause God to stop loving us. [God showed us that he loves us by sending] Jesus Christ our Lord [to die for us].
nem a altura, nem a profundidade, nem qualquer outra coisa criada será capaz de nos separar do amor de Deus que está em Cristo Jesus nosso Senhor.
