Romans 8
1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Οὐδὲν ἄρα νῦν κατάκριμα τοῖς ἐν ˚Χριστῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ,
2 For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death.
ὁ γὰρ νόμος τοῦ ˚Πνεύματος τῆς ζωῆς ἐν ˚Χριστῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ, ἠλευθέρωσέν σε ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου τῆς ἁμαρτίας καὶ τοῦ θανάτου.
3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh,
Τὸ γὰρ ἀδύνατον τοῦ νόμου, ἐν ᾧ ἠσθένει διὰ τῆς σαρκός, ὁ ˚Θεὸς τὸν ἑαυτοῦ Υἱὸν πέμψας, ἐν ὁμοιώματι σαρκὸς ἁμαρτίας, καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας, κατέκρινεν τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ἐν τῇ σαρκί,
4 so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
ἵνα τὸ δικαίωμα τοῦ νόμου πληρωθῇ ἐν ἡμῖν, τοῖς μὴ κατὰ σάρκα περιπατοῦσιν, ἀλλὰ κατὰ ˚Πνεῦμα.
5 Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.
Οἱ γὰρ κατὰ σάρκα ὄντες, τὰ τῆς σαρκὸς φρονοῦσιν, οἱ δὲ κατὰ ˚Πνεῦμα, τὰ τοῦ ˚Πνεύματος.
6 The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace,
Τὸ γὰρ φρόνημα τῆς σαρκὸς θάνατος, τὸ δὲ φρόνημα τοῦ ˚Πνεύματος ζωὴ καὶ εἰρήνη.
7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.
Διότι τὸ φρόνημα τῆς σαρκὸς ἔχθρα εἰς ˚Θεόν, τῷ γὰρ νόμῳ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ οὐχ ὑποτάσσεται, οὐδὲ γὰρ δύναται.
8 Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God.
Οἱ δὲ ἐν σαρκὶ ὄντες, ˚Θεῷ ἀρέσαι οὐ δύνανται.
9 You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
Ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐκ ἐστὲ ἐν σαρκὶ, ἀλλʼ ἐν ˚Πνεύματι, εἴπερ ˚Πνεῦμα ˚Θεοῦ οἰκεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν. Εἰ δέ τις ˚Πνεῦμα ˚Χριστοῦ οὐκ ἔχει, οὗτος οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῦ.
10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.
Εἰ δὲ ˚Χριστὸς ἐν ὑμῖν, τὸ μὲν σῶμα νεκρὸν διὰ ἁμαρτίαν, τὸ δὲ ˚Πνεῦμα ζωὴ διὰ δικαιοσύνην.
11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.
Εἰ δὲ τὸ ˚Πνεῦμα τοῦ ἐγείραντος τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν ἐκ νεκρῶν οἰκεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν, ὁ ἐγείρας ἐκ νεκρῶν ˚Χριστὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν ζῳοποιήσει καὶ τὰ θνητὰ σώματα ὑμῶν, διὰ τοῦ ἐνοικοῦντος αὐτοῦ ˚Πνεύματος ἐν ὑμῖν.
12 Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation, but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.
Ἄρα οὖν, ἀδελφοί, ὀφειλέται ἐσμέν, οὐ τῇ σαρκὶ, τοῦ κατὰ σάρκα ζῆν.
13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
Εἰ γὰρ κατὰ σάρκα ζῆτε, μέλλετε ἀποθνῄσκειν, εἰ δὲ ˚Πνεύματι τὰς πράξεις τοῦ σώματος θανατοῦτε, ζήσεσθε.
14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
Ὅσοι γὰρ ˚Πνεύματι ˚Θεοῦ ἄγονται, οὗτοι υἱοὶ ˚Θεοῦ εἰσιν.
15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
Οὐ γὰρ ἐλάβετε πνεῦμα δουλείας πάλιν εἰς φόβον, ἀλλὰ ἐλάβετε ˚Πνεῦμα υἱοθεσίας, ἐν ᾧ κράζομεν, “Ἀββά, ὁ Πατήρ!”
16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
Αὐτὸ τὸ ˚Πνεῦμα συμμαρτυρεῖ τῷ ˚Πνεύματι ἡμῶν ὅτι ἐσμὲν τέκνα ˚Θεοῦ.
17 And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.
Εἰ δὲ τέκνα, καὶ κληρονόμοι· κληρονόμοι μὲν ˚Θεοῦ, συγκληρονόμοι δὲ ˚Χριστοῦ, εἴπερ συμπάσχομεν, ἵνα καὶ συνδοξασθῶμεν.
18 I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us.
Λογίζομαι γὰρ ὅτι οὐκ ἄξια τὰ παθήματα τοῦ νῦν καιροῦ, πρὸς τὴν μέλλουσαν δόξαν ἀποκαλυφθῆναι εἰς ἡμᾶς.
19 The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God.
Ἡ γὰρ ἀποκαραδοκία τῆς κτίσεως, τὴν ἀποκάλυψιν τῶν υἱῶν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἀπεκδέχεται.
20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope
Τῇ γὰρ ματαιότητι, ἡ κτίσις ὑπετάγη, οὐχ ἑκοῦσα, ἀλλὰ διὰ τὸν ὑποτάξαντα, ἐφʼ ἑλπίδι
21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
ὅτι καὶ αὐτὴ ἡ κτίσις ἐλευθερωθήσεται ἀπὸ τῆς δουλείας τῆς φθορᾶς, εἰς τὴν ἐλευθερίαν τῆς δόξης τῶν τέκνων τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.
22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time.
Οἴδαμεν γὰρ ὅτι πᾶσα ἡ κτίσις συστενάζει καὶ συνωδίνει ἄχρι τοῦ νῦν.
23 Not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
Οὐ μόνον δέ, ἀλλὰ καὶ αὐτοὶ, τὴν ἀπαρχὴν τοῦ ˚Πνεύματος ἔχοντες, ἡμεῖς καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐν ἑαυτοῖς στενάζομεν, υἱοθεσίαν ἀπεκδεχόμενοι, τὴν ἀπολύτρωσιν τοῦ σώματος ἡμῶν.
24 For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see?
Τῇ γὰρ ἐλπίδι ἐσώθημεν· ἐλπὶς δὲ βλεπομένη, οὐκ ἔστιν ἐλπίς, ὃ γὰρ βλέπει τις, ἐλπίζει;
25 But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently.
Εἰ δὲ ὃ οὐ βλέπομεν ἐλπίζομεν, διʼ ὑπομονῆς ἀπεκδεχόμεθα.
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words.
Ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ τὸ ˚Πνεῦμα συναντιλαμβάνεται τῇ ἀσθενείᾳ ἡμῶν· τὸ γὰρ τί προσευξώμεθα καθὸ δεῖ, οὐκ οἴδαμεν, ἀλλὰ αὐτὸ τὸ ˚Πνεῦμα ὑπερεντυγχάνει στεναγμοῖς ἀλαλήτοις.
27 And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
Ὁ δὲ ἐραυνῶν τὰς καρδίας οἶδεν τί τὸ φρόνημα τοῦ ˚Πνεύματος, ὅτι κατὰ ˚Θεὸν, ἐντυγχάνει ὑπὲρ ἁγίων.
28 And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.
Οἴδαμεν δὲ ὅτι τοῖς ἀγαπῶσιν τὸν ˚Θεὸν, πάντα συνεργεῖ ὁ ˚Θεὸς εἰς ἀγαθόν, τοῖς κατὰ πρόθεσιν κλητοῖς οὖσιν.
29 For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.
Ὅτι οὓς προέγνω, καὶ προώρισεν συμμόρφους τῆς εἰκόνος τοῦ Υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν πρωτότοκον ἐν πολλοῖς ἀδελφοῖς.
30 And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.
Οὓς δὲ προώρισεν, τούτους καὶ ἐκάλεσεν· καὶ οὓς ἐκάλεσεν, τούτους καὶ ἐδικαίωσεν· οὓς δὲ ἐδικαίωσεν, τούτους καὶ ἐδόξασεν.
31 What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Τί οὖν ἐροῦμεν πρὸς ταῦτα; Εἰ ὁ ˚Θεὸς ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, τίς καθʼ ἡμῶν;
32 He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things?
Ὅς γε τοῦ ἰδίου Υἱοῦ οὐκ ἐφείσατο, ἀλλὰ ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν πάντων παρέδωκεν αὐτόν, πῶς οὐχὶ καὶ σὺν αὐτῷ, τὰ πάντα ἡμῖν χαρίσεται;
33 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
Τίς ἐγκαλέσει κατὰ ἐκλεκτῶν ˚Θεοῦ; ˚Θεὸς ὁ δικαιῶν.
34 Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God—and He is interceding for us.
Τίς ὁ κατακρίνων; ˚Χριστὸς ˚Ἰησοῦς ὁ ἀποθανών, μᾶλλον δὲ ἐγερθείς ὅς, καί ἐστιν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ὃς καὶ ἐντυγχάνει ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
Τίς ἡμᾶς χωρίσει ἀπὸ τῆς ἀγάπης τοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ; Θλῖψις, ἢ στενοχωρία, ἢ διωγμὸς, ἢ λιμὸς, ἢ γυμνότης, ἢ κίνδυνος, ἢ μάχαιρα;
36 As it is written: “For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
Καθὼς γέγραπται, ὅτι “Ἕνεκεν σοῦ, θανατούμεθα ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν, ἐλογίσθημεν ὡς πρόβατα σφαγῆς.”
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
Ἀλλʼ ἐν τούτοις πᾶσιν, ὑπερνικῶμεν διὰ τοῦ ἀγαπήσαντος ἡμᾶς.
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
Πέπεισμαι γὰρ ὅτι οὔτε θάνατος, οὔτε ζωὴ, οὔτε ἄγγελοι, οὔτε ἀρχαὶ, οὔτε ἐνεστῶτα, οὔτε μέλλοντα, οὔτε δυνάμεις,
39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
οὔτε ὕψωμα, οὔτε βάθος, οὔτε τις κτίσις ἑτέρα, δυνήσεται ἡμᾶς χωρίσαι ἀπὸ τῆς ἀγάπης τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, τῆς ἐν ˚Χριστῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ, τῷ ˚Κυρίῳ ἡμῶν.
