Romanos 8
1 Nihil ergo nunc damnationis est iis, qui sunt in Christo Iesu: qui non secundum carnem ambulant.
[There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 Lex enim spiritus vitae in Christo Iesu liberavit me a lege peccati et mortis.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 Nam quod impossibile erat legi, in quo infirmabatur per carnem: Deus filium suum mittens in similitudinem carnis peccati, et de peccato damnavit peccatum in carne,
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 ut iustificatio legis impleretur in nobis, qui non secundum carnem ambulamus, sed secundum spiritum.
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 Qui enim secundum carnem sunt: quae carnis sunt, sapiunt. qui vero secundum spiritum sunt: quae sunt spiritus, sentiunt.
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 Nam prudentia carnis, mors est: prudentia autem spiritus, vita et pax.
For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace.
7 quoniam sapientia carnis inimica est Deo: legi enim Dei non est subiecta: nec enim potest.
Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 Qui autem in carne sunt, Deo placere non possunt.
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 Vos autem in carne non estis, sed in spiritu: si tamen spiritus Dei habitat in vobis. Siquis autem Spiritum Christi non habet: hic non est eius.
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 Si autem Christus in vobis est: corpus quidem mortuum est propter peccatum, spiritus vero vivit propter iustificationem.
And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.
11 Quod si Spiritus eius, qui suscitavit Iesum a mortuis, habitat in vobis: qui suscitavit Iesum Christum a mortuis, vivificabit et mortalia corpora vestra, propter inhabitantem Spiritum eius in vobis.
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Ergo fratres debitores sumus non carni, ut secundum carnem vivamus.
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 Si enim secundum carnem vixeritis, moriemini: si autem spiritu facta carnis mortificaveritis, vivetis.
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 Quicumque enim spiritu Dei aguntur, ii sunt filii Dei.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 Non enim accepistis spiritum servitutis iterum in timore, sed accepistis spiritum adoptionis filiorum, in quo clamamus: Abba (Pater).
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 Ipse enim Spiritus testimonium reddit spiritui nostro quod sumus filii Dei.
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 Si autem filii, et heredes: heredes quidem Dei, coheredes autem Christi: si tamen compatimur, ut et conglorificemur.
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified together.
18 Existimo enim quod non sunt condignae passiones huius temporis ad futuram gloriam, quae revelabitur in nobis.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 Nam expectatio creaturae, revelationem filiorum Dei expectat.
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 Vanitati enim creatura subiecta est non volens, sed propter eum, qui subiecit eam in spe:
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope,
21 quia et ipsa creatura liberabitur a servitute corruptionis in libertatem gloriae filiorum Dei.
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 Scimus enim quod omnis creatura ingemiscit, et parturit usque adhuc.
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 Non solum autem illa, sed et nos ipsi primitias spiritus habentes: et ipsi intra nos gemimus adoptionem filiorum Dei expectantes, redemptionem corporis nostri.
And not only [they], but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body.
24 Spe enim salvi facti sumus. Spes autem, quae videtur, non est spes: nam quod videt quis, quid sperat?
For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 Si autem quod non videmus, speramus: per patientiam expectamus.
But if we hope for that we see not, [then] do we with patience wait for [it].
26 Similiter autem et Spiritus adiuvat infirmitatem nostram: nam quid oremus, sicut oportet, nescimus: sed ipse Spiritus postulat pro nobis gemitibus inenarrabilibus.
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 Qui autem scrutatur corda, scit quid desideret Spiritus: quia secundum Deum postulat pro sanctis.
And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.
28 Scimus autem quoniam diligentibus Deum omnia cooperantur in bonum, iis, qui secundum propositum vocati sunt sancti.
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.
29 Nam quos praescivit, et praedestinavit conformes fieri imaginis Filii sui, ut sit ipse primogenitus in multis fratribus.
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Quos autem praedestinavit, hos et vocavit: et quos vocavit, hos et iustificavit: quos autem iustificavit, illos et magnificavit.
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 Quid ergo dicemus ad haec? si Deus pro nobis, qui contra nos?
What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who [can be] against us?
32 Qui etiam proprio Filio suo non pepercit, sed pro nobis omnibus tradidit illum: quo modo non etiam cum illo omnia nobis donavit.
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Quis accusabit adversus electos Dei? Deus qui iustificat,
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? [It is] God that justifieth.
34 quis est qui condemnet? Christus Iesus, qui mortuus est, immo qui et resurrexit, qui est ad dexteram Dei, qui etiam interpellat pro nobis.
Who [is] he that condemneth? [It is] Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Quis ergo nos separabit a charitate Christi? tribulatio? an angustia? an fames? an nuditas? an periculum? an persecutio? an gladius?
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? [shall] tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 (sicut scriptum est: Quia propter te mortificamur tota die: aestimati sumus sicut oves occisionis.)
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Sed in his omnibus superamus propter eum, qui dilexit nos.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 Certus sum enim quia neque mors, neque vita, neque angeli, neque principatus, neque virtutes, neque instantia, neque futura, neque fortitudo,
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 neque altitudo, neque profundum, neque creatura alia poterit nos separare a charitate Dei, quae est in Christo Iesu Domino nostro.
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
