romiṇaḥ 8
1 ye janāḥ khrīṣṭaṁ yīśum āśritya śārīrikaṁ nācaranta ātmikamācaranti te'dhunā daṇḍārhā na bhavanti|
There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit;
2 jīvanadāyakasyātmano vyavasthā khrīṣṭayīśunā pāpamaraṇayo rvyavasthāto māmamocayat|
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 yasmācchārīrasya durbbalatvād vyavasthayā yat karmmāsādhyam īśvaro nijaputraṁ pāpiśarīrarūpaṁ pāpanāśakabalirūpañca preṣya tasya śarīre pāpasya daṇḍaṁ kurvvan tatkarmma sādhitavān|
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 tataḥ śārīrikaṁ nācaritvāsmābhirātmikam ācaradbhirvyavasthāgranthe nirddiṣṭāni puṇyakarmmāṇi sarvvāṇi sādhyante|
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 ye śārīrikācāriṇaste śārīrikān viṣayān bhāvayanti ye cātmikācāriṇaste ātmano viṣayān bhāvayanti|
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 śārīrikabhāvasya phalaṁ mṛtyuḥ kiñcātmikabhāvasya phale jīvanaṁ śāntiśca|
for the mind of the flesh [is] death, and the mind of the Spirit — life and peace;
7 yataḥ śārīrikabhāva īśvarasya viruddhaḥ śatrutābhāva eva sa īśvarasya vyavasthāyā adhīno na bhavati bhavituñca na śaknoti|
because the mind of the flesh [is] enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself,
8 etasmāt śārīrikācāriṣu toṣṭum īśvareṇa na śakyaṁ|
for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.
9 kintvīśvarasyātmā yadi yuṣmākaṁ madhye vasati tarhi yūyaṁ śārīrikācāriṇo na santa ātmikācāriṇo bhavathaḥ| yasmin tu khrīṣṭasyātmā na vidyate sa tatsambhavo nahi|
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 yadi khrīṣṭo yuṣmān adhitiṣṭhati tarhi pāpam uddiśya śarīraṁ mṛtaṁ kintu puṇyamuddiśyātmā jīvati|
and if Christ [is] in you, the body, indeed, [is] dead because of sin, and the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness,
11 mṛtagaṇād yīśu ryenotthāpitastasyātmā yadi yuṣmanmadhye vasati tarhi mṛtagaṇāt khrīṣṭasya sa utthāpayitā yuṣmanmadhyavāsinā svakīyātmanā yuṣmākaṁ mṛtadehānapi puna rjīvayiṣyati|
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 he bhrātṛgaṇa śarīrasya vayamadhamarṇā na bhavāmo'taḥ śārīrikācāro'smābhi rna karttavyaḥ|
So, then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh;
13 yadi yūyaṁ śarīrikācāriṇo bhaveta tarhi yuṣmābhi rmarttavyameva kintvātmanā yadi śarīrakarmmāṇi ghātayeta tarhi jīviṣyatha|
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 yato yāvanto lokā īśvarasyātmanākṛṣyante te sarvva īśvarasya santānā bhavanti|
for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God;
15 yūyaṁ punarapi bhayajanakaṁ dāsyabhāvaṁ na prāptāḥ kintu yena bhāveneśvaraṁ pitaḥ pitariti procya sambodhayatha tādṛśaṁ dattakaputratvabhāvam prāpnuta|
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 aparañca vayam īśvarasya santānā etasmin pavitra ātmā svayam asmākam ātmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ pramāṇaṁ dadāti|
The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God;
17 ataeva vayaṁ yadi santānāstarhyadhikāriṇaḥ, arthād īśvarasya svattvādhikāriṇaḥ khrīṣṭena sahādhikāriṇaśca bhavāmaḥ; aparaṁ tena sārddhaṁ yadi duḥkhabhāgino bhavāmastarhi tasya vibhavasyāpi bhāgino bhaviṣyāmaḥ|
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 kintvasmāsu yo bhāvīvibhavaḥ prakāśiṣyate tasya samīpe varttamānakālīnaṁ duḥkhamahaṁ tṛṇāya manye|
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 yataḥ prāṇigaṇa īśvarasya santānānāṁ vibhavaprāptim ākāṅkṣan nitāntam apekṣate|
for the earnest looking out of the creation doth expect the revelation of the sons of God;
20 aparañca prāṇigaṇaḥ svairam alīkatāyā vaśīkṛto nābhavat
for to vanity was the creation made subject — not of its will, but because of Him who did subject [it] — in hope,
21 kintu prāṇigaṇo'pi naśvaratādhīnatvāt muktaḥ san īśvarasya santānānāṁ paramamuktiṁ prāpsyatītyabhiprāyeṇa vaśīkartrā vaśīcakre|
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 aparañca prasūyamānāvad vyathitaḥ san idānīṁ yāvat kṛtsnaḥ prāṇigaṇa ārttasvaraṁ karotīti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
for we have known that all the creation doth groan together, and doth travail in pain together till now.
23 kevalaḥ sa iti nahi kintu prathamajātaphalasvarūpam ātmānaṁ prāptā vayamapi dattakaputratvapadaprāptim arthāt śarīrasya muktiṁ pratīkṣamāṇāstadvad antarārttarāvaṁ kurmmaḥ|
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 vayaṁ pratyāśayā trāṇam alabhāmahi kintu pratyakṣavastuno yā pratyāśā sā pratyāśā nahi, yato manuṣyo yat samīkṣate tasya pratyāśāṁ kutaḥ kariṣyati?
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 yad apratyakṣaṁ tasya pratyāśāṁ yadi vayaṁ kurvvīmahi tarhi dhairyyam avalambya pratīkṣāmahe|
and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect [it].
26 tata ātmāpi svayam asmākaṁ durbbalatāyāḥ sahāyatvaṁ karoti; yataḥ kiṁ prārthitavyaṁ tad boddhuṁ vayaṁ na śaknumaḥ, kintvaspaṣṭairārttarāvairātmā svayam asmannimittaṁ nivedayati|
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 aparam īśvarābhimatarūpeṇa pavitralokānāṁ kṛte nivedayati ya ātmā tasyābhiprāyo'ntaryyāminā jñāyate|
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 aparam īśvarīyanirūpaṇānusāreṇāhūtāḥ santo ye tasmin prīyante sarvvāṇi militvā teṣāṁ maṅgalaṁ sādhayanti, etad vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
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 yata īśvaro bahubhrātṛṇāṁ madhye svaputraṁ jyeṣṭhaṁ karttum icchan yān pūrvvaṁ lakṣyīkṛtavān tān tasya pratimūrtyāḥ sādṛśyaprāptyarthaṁ nyayuṁkta|
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 aparañca tena ye niyuktāsta āhūtā api ye ca tenāhūtāste sapuṇyīkṛtāḥ, ye ca tena sapuṇyīkṛtāste vibhavayuktāḥ|
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 ityatra vayaṁ kiṁ brūmaḥ? īśvaro yadyasmākaṁ sapakṣo bhavati tarhi ko vipakṣo'smākaṁ?
What, then, shall we say unto these things? if God [is] for us, who [is] against us?
32 ātmaputraṁ na rakṣitvā yo'smākaṁ sarvveṣāṁ kṛte taṁ pradattavān sa kiṁ tena sahāsmabhyam anyāni sarvvāṇi na dāsyati?
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 īśvarasyābhiruciteṣu kena doṣa āropayiṣyate? ya īśvarastān puṇyavata iva gaṇayati kiṁ tena?
Who shall lay a charge against the choice ones of God? God [is] He that is declaring righteous,
34 aparaṁ tebhyo daṇḍadānājñā vā kena kariṣyate? yo'smannimittaṁ prāṇān tyaktavān kevalaṁ tanna kintu mṛtagaṇamadhyād utthitavān, api ceśvarasya dakṣiṇe pārśve tiṣṭhan adyāpyasmākaṁ nimittaṁ prārthata evambhūto yaḥ khrīṣṭaḥ kiṁ tena?
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 asmābhiḥ saha khrīṣṭasya premavicchedaṁ janayituṁ kaḥ śaknoti? kleśo vyasanaṁ vā tāḍanā vā durbhikṣaṁ vā vastrahīnatvaṁ vā prāṇasaṁśayo vā khaṅgo vā kimetāni śaknuvanti?
Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 kintu likhitam āste, yathā, vayaṁ tava nimittaṁ smo mṛtyuvaktre'khilaṁ dinaṁ| balirdeyo yathā meṣo vayaṁ gaṇyāmahe tathā|
(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 aparaṁ yo'smāsu prīyate tenaitāsu vipatsu vayaṁ samyag vijayāmahe|
but in all these we more than conquer, through him who loved us;
38 yato'smākaṁ prabhunā yīśukhrīṣṭeneśvarasya yat prema tasmād asmākaṁ vicchedaṁ janayituṁ mṛtyu rjīvanaṁ vā divyadūtā vā balavanto mukhyadūtā vā varttamāno vā bhaviṣyan kālo vā uccapadaṁ vā nīcapadaṁ vāparaṁ kimapi sṛṣṭavastu
for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,
39 vaiteṣāṁ kenāpi na śakyamityasmin dṛḍhaviśvāso mamāste|
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.
