Romanos 8
1 Nihil ergo nunc damnationis est iis, qui sunt in Christo Iesu: qui non secundum carnem ambulant.
There is therefore no condemnation, to them who, in Jesus Messiah, walk not after the flesh.
2 Lex enim spiritus vitae in Christo Iesu liberavit me a lege peccati et mortis.
For the law of the spirit of life, which is in Jesus Messiah, hath emancipated thee 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,
Inasmuch as the law was impotent, by means of the weakness of the flesh, God sent his Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin; that He might, in his flesh, condemn sin;
4 ut iustificatio legis impleretur in nobis, qui non secundum carnem ambulamus, sed secundum spiritum.
so that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us; since it is not in the flesh that we walk, but in the Spirit.
5 Qui enim secundum carnem sunt: quae carnis sunt, sapiunt. qui vero secundum spiritum sunt: quae sunt spiritus, sentiunt.
For they who are in the flesh, do mind the things of the flesh: and they who are of the Spirit, do mind the things of the Spirit.
6 Nam prudentia carnis, mors est: prudentia autem spiritus, vita et pax.
For minding the things of the flesh, is death; but minding the things of the Spirit, is life and peace.
7 quoniam sapientia carnis inimica est Deo: legi enim Dei non est subiecta: nec enim potest.
Because minding the things of the flesh, is enmity towards God: for it doth not subject itself to the law of God, because it is not possible.
8 Qui autem in carne sunt, Deo placere non possunt.
And they who 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.
Ye, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit; if the Spirit of God truly dwelleth in you. And if in any one there is not the Spirit of Messiah he is none of his.
10 Si autem Christus in vobis est: corpus quidem mortuum est propter peccatum, spiritus vero vivit propter iustificationem.
But if Messiah is in you, the body is dead, in regard to sin; and the Spirit is alive in regard to 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.
And if the Spirit of him, who raised our Lord Jesus Messiah from the dead, dwelleth in you; he who raised our Lord Jesus Messiah from the dead, will also vivify your dead bodies, because of his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Ergo fratres debitores sumus non carni, ut secundum carnem vivamus.
Now we are debtors, my Brethren, not to the flesh, that we should walk according to the flesh:
13 Si enim secundum carnem vixeritis, moriemini: si autem spiritu facta carnis mortificaveritis, vivetis.
- (For if ye live according to the flesh, ye are to die. But if, by the Spirit, ye mortify the practices of the body, ye will live.
14 Quicumque enim spiritu Dei aguntur, ii sunt filii Dei.
For they who 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, by which we cry, Father, our Father.
16 Ipse enim Spiritus testimonium reddit spiritui nostro quod sumus filii Dei.
And this Spirit testifieth to our spirit, that we are the sons of God.
17 Si autem filii, et heredes: heredes quidem Dei, coheredes autem Christi: si tamen compatimur, ut et conglorificemur.
And if sons, then heirs; heirs of God, and participators of the inheritance of Jesus Messiah: so that, if we suffer with him, we shall also be glorified with him.
18 Existimo enim quod non sunt condignae passiones huius temporis ad futuram gloriam, quae revelabitur in nobis.
For I reckon, that the sufferings of the present time, are not comparable with the glory which is to be developed in us.
19 Nam expectatio creaturae, revelationem filiorum Dei expectat.
For the whole creation is hoping and waiting for the development of the sons of God.
20 Vanitati enim creatura subiecta est non volens, sed propter eum, qui subiecit eam in spe:
For the creation was subjected to vanity, not by its own choice, but because of him who subjected it,
21 quia et ipsa creatura liberabitur a servitute corruptionis in libertatem gloriae filiorum Dei.
in the hope, that also the creation itself would be emancipated from the bondage of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the sons of God.
22 Scimus enim quod omnis creatura ingemiscit, et parturit usque adhuc.
For we know, that all the creatures are groaning and travailing in pain unto this day.
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 we also in whom are the first fruits of the Spirit, we groan within ourselves, and look anxiously for the adoption of sons, the redemption of our bodies.
24 Spe enim salvi facti sumus. Spes autem, quae videtur, non est spes: nam quod videt quis, quid sperat?
Because we live in hope. But hope that is seen, is not hope: for if we saw it, how should we hope for it?
25 Si autem quod non videmus, speramus: per patientiam expectamus.
But if we hope for that which is not seen, we are in patient waiting.
26 Similiter autem et Spiritus adiuvat infirmitatem nostram: nam quid oremus, sicut oportet, nescimus: sed ipse Spiritus postulat pro nobis gemitibus inenarrabilibus.
So also the Spirit aideth our weakness. For we know not what to pray for, in a proper manner; but the Spirit prayeth for us, with groans not expressible:
27 Qui autem scrutatur corda, scit quid desideret Spiritus: quia secundum Deum postulat pro sanctis.
and the explorer of hearts, he knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit; because he prayeth for the saints, agreeably to the good pleasure of God.
28 Scimus autem quoniam diligentibus Deum omnia cooperantur in bonum, iis, qui secundum propositum vocati sunt sancti.
And we know that he aideth him in all things, for good, who love God; them whom he predestined to be called.
29 Nam quos praescivit, et praedestinavit conformes fieri imaginis Filii sui, ut sit ipse primogenitus in multis fratribus.
And he knew them, previously; and he sealed them with the likeness of the image of his Son; that He might be the first-born of many brothers.
30 Quos autem praedestinavit, hos et vocavit: et quos vocavit, hos et iustificavit: quos autem iustificavit, illos et magnificavit.
And those whom he previously sealed, them he called: and those whom he called, them he justified: and those whom he justified, them he glorified.
31 Quid ergo dicemus ad haec? si Deus pro nobis, qui contra nos?
What then shall we say of these things? If God is for us; who is 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.
And, if he spared not his Son, but gave him up for us all, how shall he not give us all things, with him?
33 Quis accusabit adversus electos Dei? Deus qui iustificat,
Who will set himself against the chosen of God? It is God who 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 it that condemneth? Messiah died, and arose, and is on the right hand of God, and 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?
What will sever me from the love of Messiah? Will affliction? or distress? or persecution? or famine? or nakedness? or peril? or the sword?
36 (sicut scriptum est: Quia propter te mortificamur tota die: aestimati sumus sicut oves occisionis.)
As it is written: For thy sake, we die daily: and, we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Sed in his omnibus superamus propter eum, qui dilexit nos.
But in all these things we are victorious, by means of him who 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, will be able to sever me from the love of God, which is in our Lord Jesus Messiah.
