Romans 8
1 Hence there is now, no, condemnation unto them who are in Christ Jesus;
[There is] then now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus.
2 For, the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus, hath set thee free from the law of sin and of death; —
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and of death.
3 For, what was impossible by the law in that it was weak through the flesh, God, by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, having sent his own Son, in likeness of flesh of sin, and for sin, has condemned sin in the flesh,
4 In order that, the righteous requirement of the law, might be fulfilled in us—who, not according to flesh, do walk, but according to spirit;
in order that the righteous requirement of the law should be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to flesh but according to Spirit.
5 For, they who according to flesh have their being, the things of the flesh do prefer, but, they according to the spirit, the things of the spirit;
For they that are according to flesh mind the things of the flesh; and they that are according to Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
6 For, what is preferred by the flesh, [is] death, whereas, what is preferred by the spirit, [is] life and peace; —
For the mind of the flesh [is] death; but the mind of the Spirit life and peace.
7 Inasmuch as, what is preferred by the flesh, [is] hostile towards God, for, unto the law of God, it doth not submit itself, neither in fact can it.—
Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God; for neither indeed can it be:
8 They, moreover, who in flesh have their being, cannot please, God.
and they that are in flesh cannot please God.
9 But, ye, have not your being in flesh, but in spirit, —if at least, God’s Spirit, dwelleth in you; and, if anyone hath not Christ’s Spirit, the same, is not his; —
But ye are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed God's Spirit dwell in you; but if any one has not [the] Spirit of Christ he is not of him:
10 But, if Christ is in you, the body, indeed, is dead by reason of sin, whereas, the spirit, is life by reason of righteousness;
but if Christ be in you, the body is dead on account of sin, but the Spirit life on account of righteousness.
11 If, moreover, the Spirit of him that raised Jesus from among the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised from among the dead Christ Jesus, shall make alive [even] your death-doomed bodies, through means of his indwelling Spirit within you.
But if the Spirit of him that has raised up Jesus from among [the] dead dwell in you, he that has raised up Christ from among [the] dead shall quicken your mortal bodies also on account of his Spirit which dwells in you.
12 Hence, then, brethren—debtors, we are, not unto the flesh, that, according to flesh, we should live, —
So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to flesh;
13 For, if according to flesh ye live, ye are about to die, whereas, if in spirit, the practices of the flesh, ye are putting to death, ye shall attain unto life;
for if ye live according to flesh, ye are about to die; but if, by the Spirit, ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live:
14 For, as many as by God’s Spirit are being led, the same, are God’s sons, —
for as many as are led by [the] Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
15 For ye have not received a spirit of servitude, leading back into fear, but ye have received a spirit of sonship, whereby we are exclaiming—Abba! Oh Father!
For ye have not received a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye have received a spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself, beareth witness together with our spirit that we are children of God;
The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God.
17 And, if children, heirs also—heirs, indeed, of God, but co-heirs with Christ, —if, at least, we are suffering together, in order that we may also be glorified together.
And if children, heirs also: heirs of God, and Christ's joint heirs; if indeed we suffer with [him], that we may also be glorified with [him].
18 For I reckon that unworthy are the sufferings of the present season to be compared with the glory about to be revealed towards us;
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy [to be compared] with the coming glory to be revealed to us.
19 For, the eager outlook of creation, ardently awaiteth the revealing of the sons of God, —
For the anxious looking out of the creature expects the revelation of the sons of God:
20 For, unto vanity, hath creation been made subject—not by choice, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope
for the creature has been made subject to vanity, not of its will, but by reason of him who has subjected [the same], in hope
21 That, creation itself also, shall be freed—from the bondage of the decay into the freedom of the glory of the sons of God;
that the creature itself also shall be set free from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
22 For we know that, all creation, is sighing together, and travailing-in-birth-throes together until the present, —
For we know that the whole creation groans together and travails in pain together until now.
23 And, not only so, but, we ourselves, also, who have the first-fruit of the Spirit—[we] even ourselves, within our own selves do sigh, —sonship ardently awaiting—the redeeming of our body; —
And not only [that], but even we ourselves, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, we also ourselves groan in ourselves, awaiting adoption, [that is] the redemption of our body.
24 For, by our hope, have we been saved, —but, hope beheld, is not hope, for, what one beholdeth, why doth he hope for?
For we have been saved in hope; but hope seen is not hope; for what any one sees, why does he also hope?
25 If, however, what we do not behold we hope for, with endurance, are we ardently awaiting [it]; —
But if what we see not we hope, we expect in patience.
26 In the selfsame way moreover, even the Spirit, helpeth together in our weakness, —for, what we should pray for as we ought, we know not, but, the Spirit itself, maketh intercession with sighings unutterable,
And in like manner the Spirit joins also its help to our weakness; for we do not know what we should pray for as is fitting, but the Spirit itself makes intercession with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And, he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what is preferred by the Spirit—that, according to God, he maketh intercession in behalf of saints;
But he who searches the hearts knows what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for saints according to God.
28 We know, further, that, unto them who love God, God causeth all things to work together for good, —unto them who, according to purpose, are such as he hath called;
But we do know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to purpose.
29 For, whom he fore-approved, he also fore-appointed to be conformed unto the image of his Son, that he might be firstborn among many brethren, —
Because whom he has foreknown, he has also predestinated [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, so that he should be [the] firstborn among many brethren.
30 And, whom he fore-appointed, the same, he also called, and, whom he called, the same, he also declared righteous, and, whom he declared righteous, the same, he also made glorious: —
But whom he has predestinated, these also he has called; and whom he has called, these also he has justified; but whom he has justified, these also he has glorified.
31 What, then, shall we say to a these things? If God [is] for us, who [shall be] against us?
What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who against us?
32 He, at least, who his own Son did not spare, but in behalf of us all delivered him up, how shall he not also, with him, all things upon us in favour bestow?
He who, yea, has not spared his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him grant us all things?
33 Who shall bring an accusation against the chosen ones of God? God, who declareth righteous?
Who shall bring an accusation against God's elect? [It is] God who justifies:
34 Who is he that condemneth? Christ [Jesus] who died?—Nay! rather was raised [from among the dead], —who is on the right hand of God, who also is making intercession in our behalf?
who is he that condemns? [It is] Christ who has died, but rather has been [also] raised up; who is also at the right hand of God; who also intercedes for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?—
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? tribulation or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
36 According as it is written—For thy sake, are we being put to death all the day long, we have been reckoned as sheep for slaughter.—
According as it is written, For thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we have been reckoned as sheep for slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquering through him that hath loved us.
But in all these things we more than conquer through him that has loved us.
38 For I am persuaded that—neither death nor life, nor messengers nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,
For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39 Nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
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.
