Romanos 8
1 Nihil ergo nunc damnationis est iis, qui sunt in Christo Iesu: qui non secundum carnem ambulant.
There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit;
2 Lex enim spiritus vitae in Christo Iesu liberavit me a lege peccati et mortis.
for the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus did set me free from the law of the sin and of the 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 was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the 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 may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
5 Qui enim secundum carnem sunt: quae carnis sunt, sapiunt. qui vero secundum spiritum sunt: quae sunt spiritus, sentiunt.
For those who are according to the flesh, the things of the flesh do mind; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit;
6 Nam prudentia carnis, mors est: prudentia autem spiritus, vita et pax.
for the mind of the flesh [is] death, and the mind of the Spirit — life and peace;
7 quoniam sapientia carnis inimica est Deo: legi enim Dei non est subiecta: nec enim potest.
because the mind of the flesh [is] enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself,
8 Qui autem in carne sunt, Deo placere non possunt.
for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to 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.
And ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God doth dwell in you; and if any one hath not the Spirit of Christ — this one is not His;
10 Si autem Christus in vobis est: corpus quidem mortuum est propter peccatum, spiritus vero vivit propter iustificationem.
and if Christ [is] in you, the body, indeed, [is] dead because of sin, and 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.
and if the Spirit of Him who did raise up Jesus out of the dead doth dwell in you, He who did raise up the Christ out of the dead shall quicken also your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you.
12 Ergo fratres debitores sumus non carni, ut secundum carnem vivamus.
So, then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh;
13 Si enim secundum carnem vixeritis, moriemini: si autem spiritu facta carnis mortificaveritis, vivetis.
for if according to the flesh ye do live, ye are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body ye put to death, ye shall live;
14 Quicumque enim spiritu Dei aguntur, ii sunt filii Dei.
for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these 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 did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, 'Abba — Father.'
16 Ipse enim Spiritus testimonium reddit spiritui nostro quod sumus filii Dei.
The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God;
17 Si autem filii, et heredes: heredes quidem Dei, coheredes autem Christi: si tamen compatimur, ut et conglorificemur.
and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ — if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be 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 the present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory about to be revealed in us;
19 Nam expectatio creaturae, revelationem filiorum Dei expectat.
for the earnest looking out of the creation doth expect the revelation of the sons of God;
20 Vanitati enim creatura subiecta est non volens, sed propter eum, qui subiecit eam in spe:
for to vanity was the creation made subject — not of its will, but because of Him who did subject [it] — in hope,
21 quia et ipsa creatura liberabitur a servitute corruptionis in libertatem gloriae filiorum Dei.
that also the creation itself shall be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God;
22 Scimus enim quod omnis creatura ingemiscit, et parturit usque adhuc.
for we have known that all the creation doth groan together, and doth travail in pain together till 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 [so], but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves in ourselves do groan, adoption expecting — 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 in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what any one doth behold, why also doth he hope for [it]?
25 Si autem quod non videmus, speramus: per patientiam expectamus.
and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect [it].
26 Similiter autem et Spiritus adiuvat infirmitatem nostram: nam quid oremus, sicut oportet, nescimus: sed ipse Spiritus postulat pro nobis gemitibus inenarrabilibus.
And, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth [us], we have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession for us with groanings unutterable,
27 Qui autem scrutatur corda, scit quid desideret Spiritus: quia secundum Deum postulat pro sanctis.
and He who is searching the hearts hath known what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because according to God he doth intercede for saints.
28 Scimus autem quoniam diligentibus Deum omnia cooperantur in bonum, iis, qui secundum propositum vocati sunt sancti.
And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;
29 Nam quos praescivit, et praedestinavit conformes fieri imaginis Filii sui, ut sit ipse primogenitus in multis fratribus.
because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren;
30 Quos autem praedestinavit, hos et vocavit: et quos vocavit, hos et iustificavit: quos autem iustificavit, illos et magnificavit.
and whom He did fore-appoint, these also He did call; and whom He did call, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He did glorify.
31 Quid ergo dicemus ad haec? si Deus pro nobis, qui contra nos?
What, then, shall we say unto 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.
He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us?
33 Quis accusabit adversus electos Dei? Deus qui iustificat,
Who shall lay a charge against the choice ones of God? God [is] He that is declaring righteous,
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 is condemning? Christ [is] He that died, yea, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of God — who also doth intercede 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 the Christ? 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.)
(according as it hath been written — 'For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long, we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter,')
37 Sed in his omnibus superamus propter eum, qui dilexit nos.
but in all these we more than conquer, through 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 messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,
39 neque altitudo, neque profundum, neque creatura alia poterit nos separare a charitate Dei, quae est in Christo Iesu Domino nostro.
nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of god, that [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord.
