Προς Ρωμαιους 8
1 ουδεν αρα νυν κατακριμα τοις εν χριστω ιησου
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
2 ο γαρ νομος του πνευματος της ζωης εν χριστω ιησου ηλευθερωσεν σε απο του νομου της αμαρτιας και του θανατου
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.
3 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
For what the law was unable to do because it was weak through the flesh, God did. He sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be an offering for sin, and he condemned sin in the flesh.
4 ινα το δικαιωμα του νομου πληρωθη εν ημιν τοις μη κατα σαρκα περιπατουσιν αλλα κατα πνευμα
He did this in order that the requirements of the law might be fulfilled in us, we who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
5 οι γαρ κατα σαρκα οντες τα της σαρκος φρονουσιν οι δε κατα πνευμα τα του πνευματος
Those who live according to the flesh pay attention to the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit pay attention to the things of the Spirit.
6 το γαρ φρονημα της σαρκος θανατος το δε φρονημα του πνευματος ζωη και ειρηνη
For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace.
7 διοτι το φρονημα της σαρκος εχθρα εις θεον τω γαρ νομω του θεου ουχ υποτασσεται ουδε γαρ δυναται
The mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God, for it is not subject to God's law, nor is it able to do so.
8 οι δε εν σαρκι οντες θεω αρεσαι ου δυνανται
Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 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
However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is true that God's Spirit lives in you. But if someone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.
10 ει δε χριστος εν υμιν το μεν σωμα νεκρον δια αμαρτιαν το δε πνευμα ζωη δια δικαιοσυνην
If Christ is in you, the body is dead with respect to sin, but the spirit is alive with respect to righteousness.
11 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
If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
12 αρα ουν αδελφοι οφειλεται εσμεν ου τη σαρκι του κατα σαρκα ζην
So then, brothers, we are debtors, but not to the flesh to live according to the flesh.
13 ει γαρ κατα σαρκα ζητε μελλετε αποθνησκειν ει δε πνευματι τας πραξεις του σωματος θανατουτε ζησεσθε
For if you live according to the flesh, you are about to die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the body's actions, you will live.
14 οσοι γαρ πνευματι θεου αγονται ουτοι υιοι θεου εισιν
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
15 ου γαρ ελαβετε πνευμα δουλειας παλιν εις φοβον αλλα ελαβετε πνευμα υιοθεσιας εν ω κραζομεν αββα ο πατηρ
You did not receive a spirit that makes you slaves, so that you live in fear again; but you received the Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, “Abba, Father!”
16 αυτο το πνευμα συμμαρτυρει τω πνευματι ημων οτι εσμεν τεκνα θεου
The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.
17 ει δε τεκνα και κληρονομοι κληρονομοι μεν θεου συγκληρονομοι δε χριστου ειπερ συμπασχομεν ινα και συνδοξασθωμεν
If we are children, then we are also heirs, heirs of God. And we are joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.
18 λογιζομαι γαρ οτι ουκ αξια τα παθηματα του νυν καιρου προς την μελλουσαν δοξαν αποκαλυφθηναι εις ημας
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed to us.
19 η γαρ αποκαραδοκια της κτισεως την αποκαλυψιν των υιων του θεου απεκδεχεται
For the eager expectation of the creation waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
20 τη γαρ ματαιοτητι η κτισις υπεταγη ουχ εκουσα αλλα δια τον υποταξαντα εφ ελπιδι
For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in the certain hope
21 οτι και αυτη η κτισις ελευθερωθησεται απο της δουλειας της φθορας εις την ελευθεριαν της δοξης των τεκνων του θεου
that the creation itself will be delivered from slavery to decay, and that it will be brought into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
22 οιδαμεν γαρ οτι πασα η κτισις συστεναζει και συνωδινει αχρι του νυν
For we know that the whole creation groans and labors in pain together even now.
23 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
Not only that, but even we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit—even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, the redemption of our body.
24 τη γαρ ελπιδι εσωθημεν ελπις δε βλεπομενη ουκ εστιν ελπις ο γαρ βλεπει τις ελπιζει
For in this certain hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he can see?
25 ει δε ο ου βλεπομεν ελπιζομεν δι υπομονης απεκδεχομεθα
But if we have certain hope about what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
26 ωσαυτως δε και το πνευμα συναντιλαμβανεται τη ασθενεια ημων το γαρ τι προσευξωμεθα καθο δει ουκ οιδαμεν αλλα αυτο το πνευμα υπερεντυγχανει στεναγμοις αλαλητοις
In the same way, the Spirit also helps in our weakness. For we do not know how we should pray, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groans.
27 ο δε εραυνων τας καρδιας οιδεν τι το φρονημα του πνευματος οτι κατα θεον εντυγχανει υπερ αγιων
He who searches the hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes on behalf of the saints according to the will of God.
28 οιδαμεν δε οτι τοις αγαπωσιν τον θεον παντα συνεργει {VAR1: [ο θεος] } εις αγαθον τοις κατα προθεσιν κλητοις ουσιν
We know that for those who love God, he works all things together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
29 οτι ους προεγνω και προωρισεν συμμορφους της εικονος του υιου αυτου εις το ειναι αυτον πρωτοτοκον εν πολλοις αδελφοις
Because those whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30 ους δε προωρισεν τουτους και εκαλεσεν και ους εκαλεσεν τουτους και εδικαιωσεν ους δε εδικαιωσεν τουτους και εδοξασεν
Those whom he predestined, these he also called. Those whom he called, these he also justified. Those whom he justified, these he also glorified.
31 τι ουν ερουμεν προς ταυτα ει ο θεος υπερ ημων τις καθ ημων
What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
32 ος γε του ιδιου υιου ουκ εφεισατο αλλα υπερ ημων παντων παρεδωκεν αυτον πως ουχι και συν αυτω τα παντα ημιν χαρισεται
He who did not spare his own Son but delivered him up on behalf of us all, how will he not also with him freely give us all things?
33 τις εγκαλεσει κατα εκλεκτων θεου θεος ο δικαιων
Who will bring any accusation against God's chosen ones? God is the one who justifies.
34 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
Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, and who also is interceding for us.
35 τις ημας χωρισει απο της αγαπης του χριστου θλιψις η στενοχωρια η διωγμος η λιμος η γυμνοτης η κινδυνος η μαχαιρα
Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or hunger, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
36 καθως γεγραπται οτι ενεκεν σου θανατουμεθα ολην την ημεραν ελογισθημεν ως προβατα σφαγης
Just as it is written, “For your benefit we are killed all day long. We were considered as sheep for the slaughter.”
37 αλλ εν τουτοις πασιν υπερνικωμεν δια του αγαπησαντος ημας
In all these things we are more than conquerors through the one who loved us.
38 πεπεισμαι γαρ οτι ουτε θανατος ουτε ζωη ουτε αγγελοι ουτε αρχαι ουτε ενεστωτα ουτε μελλοντα ουτε δυναμεις
For I have been convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor governments, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39 ουτε υψωμα ουτε βαθος ουτε τις κτισις ετερα δυνησεται ημας χωρισαι απο της αγαπης του θεου της εν χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων
nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
