Romans 8
1 Because [God has erased the record of our sins because we trust in what Christ has done for us], now [God will] not condemn and punish those/us who have a relationship with (OR, are united to) Christ Jesus.
யே ஜநா: க்²ரீஷ்டம்’ யீஸு²ம் ஆஸ்²ரித்ய ஸா²ரீரிகம்’ நாசரந்த ஆத்மிகமாசரந்தி தே(அ)து⁴நா த³ண்டா³ர்ஹா ந ப⁴வந்தி|
2 [God’s] Spirit causes us to live [in a new way] [PRS] as a result of what Christ Jesus [did for us]. And he has set up a way by which he frees [each of] us from continually being forced to sin (OR, to obey our self-directed natures) and from being separated from God.
ஜீவநதா³யகஸ்யாத்மநோ வ்யவஸ்தா² க்²ரீஷ்டயீஸு²நா பாபமரணயோ ர்வ்யவஸ்தா²தோ மாமமோசயத்|
3 What [we] could not do [by trying to obey] the laws [of God] [PRS], because our self-directed nature was too weak [to obey them], God did. He sent his own Son [into the world in order that his Son might atone] for our sin. His Son came having a body (OR, human nature) that was like [the body] (OR, the [human nature]) of us people who sin. [By sending his Son in this way], he condemned and punished [his Son, who never sinned, instead of punishing us, who] sinned [MTY]. He did that [by making his Son’s] body [a sacrifice] (OR, [by causing his Son’s] body [to suffer/die]) for [all our] sin.
யஸ்மாச்சா²ரீரஸ்ய து³ர்ப்³ப³லத்வாத்³ வ்யவஸ்த²யா யத் கர்ம்மாஸாத்⁴யம் ஈஸ்²வரோ நிஜபுத்ரம்’ பாபிஸ²ரீரரூபம்’ பாபநாஸ²கப³லிரூபஞ்ச ப்ரேஷ்ய தஸ்ய ஸ²ரீரே பாபஸ்ய த³ண்ட³ம்’ குர்வ்வந் தத்கர்ம்ம ஸாதி⁴தவாந்|
4 So we can [now] fulfill all that God required in his laws. We do this, not by our acting the way our sinful human nature [desires], but instead by living as [God’s] Spirit [desires us to live].
தத: ஸா²ரீரிகம்’ நாசரித்வாஸ்மாபி⁴ராத்மிகம் ஆசரத்³பி⁴ர்வ்யவஸ்தா²க்³ரந்தே² நிர்த்³தி³ஷ்டாநி புண்யகர்ம்மாணி ஸர்வ்வாணி ஸாத்⁴யந்தே|
5 People who live according to what their self-directed nature [desires] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires]. But people who [live] according to what [God’s] Spirit [desires think about and are concerned about] what [God’s] Spirit [desires].
யே ஸா²ரீரிகாசாரிணஸ்தே ஸா²ரீரிகாந் விஷயாந் பா⁴வயந்தி யே சாத்மிகாசாரிணஸ்தே ஆத்மநோ விஷயாந் பா⁴வயந்தி|
6 Those people who [PRS] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires] will not live eternally (OR, will be separated from God). But those people who think about and are concerned about what [God’s] Spirit [desires] will live [eternally] and have [inner] peace.
ஸா²ரீரிகபா⁴வஸ்ய ப²லம்’ ம்ரு’த்யு: கிஞ்சாத்மிகபா⁴வஸ்ய ப²லே ஜீவநம்’ ஸா²ந்திஸ்²ச|
7 Let me explain this. [To the extent that] people [PRS] think about and are concerned about what their self-directed nature [desires], they are acting contrary to God. They do not obey the laws of God. In fact, they are not even able [to obey his laws].
யத: ஸா²ரீரிகபா⁴வ ஈஸ்²வரஸ்ய விருத்³த⁴: ஸ²த்ருதாபா⁴வ ஏவ ஸ ஈஸ்²வரஸ்ய வ்யவஸ்தா²யா அதீ⁴நோ ந ப⁴வதி ப⁴விதுஞ்ச ந ஸ²க்நோதி|
8 The people who let their self-directed nature [control them] cannot do what pleases God.
ஏதஸ்மாத் ஸா²ரீரிகாசாரிஷு தோஷ்டும் ஈஸ்²வரேண ந ஸ²க்யம்’|
9 But we do not have to let our self-directed nature [control us]. Instead, we can [let] God’s Spirit [control us], because he lives within us. If people do not have [living in them] the Spirit [who comes from] Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
கிந்த்வீஸ்²வரஸ்யாத்மா யதி³ யுஷ்மாகம்’ மத்⁴யே வஸதி தர்ஹி யூயம்’ ஸா²ரீரிகாசாரிணோ ந ஸந்த ஆத்மிகாசாரிணோ ப⁴வத²: | யஸ்மிந் து க்²ரீஷ்டஸ்யாத்மா ந வித்³யதே ஸ தத்ஸம்ப⁴வோ நஹி|
10 But since Christ [is living in you/us by his Spirit, although] your/our bodies [are certain to] die because you/we sin, your/our spirits are alive because God has erased the record of your/our sins.
யதி³ க்²ரீஷ்டோ யுஷ்மாந் அதி⁴திஷ்ட²தி தர்ஹி பாபம் உத்³தி³ஸ்²ய ஸ²ரீரம்’ ம்ரு’தம்’ கிந்து புண்யமுத்³தி³ஸ்²யாத்மா ஜீவதி|
11 [God] caused Jesus to live again after he died. And because his Spirit lives in you/us, [God] will also make your/our bodies, which [now] are sure to die, live [again after you/we die]. God, who caused Christ to live again after he died, will make you/us live again by [causing] his Spirit, who lives within you/us, [to do it].
ம்ரு’தக³ணாத்³ யீஸு² ர்யேநோத்தா²பிதஸ்தஸ்யாத்மா யதி³ யுஷ்மந்மத்⁴யே வஸதி தர்ஹி ம்ரு’தக³ணாத் க்²ரீஷ்டஸ்ய ஸ உத்தா²பயிதா யுஷ்மந்மத்⁴யவாஸிநா ஸ்வகீயாத்மநா யுஷ்மாகம்’ ம்ரு’ததே³ஹாநபி புந ர்ஜீவயிஷ்யதி|
12 Therefore, my fellow believers, we must [live as the Spirit directs us]. What we do not have to do is to live as our self-directed nature [guides us].
ஹே ப்⁴ராத்ரு’க³ண ஸ²ரீரஸ்ய வயமத⁴மர்ணா ந ப⁴வாமோ(அ)த: ஸா²ரீரிகாசாரோ(அ)ஸ்மாபி⁴ ர்ந கர்த்தவ்ய: |
13 If you live the way your self-directed nature [directs], you will surely not live [eternally] (OR, will surely be eternally separated from God). But if by [the power of God’s] Spirit you quit doing the [sinful] things that your bodies [desire] [MET], you will live eternally.
யதி³ யூயம்’ ஸ²ரீரிகாசாரிணோ ப⁴வேத தர்ஹி யுஷ்மாபி⁴ ர்மர்த்தவ்யமேவ கிந்த்வாத்மநா யதி³ ஸ²ரீரகர்ம்மாணி கா⁴தயேத தர்ஹி ஜீவிஷ்யத²|
14 We who are guided by the Spirit of God {allow the Spirit of God to guide us} are God’s children.
யதோ யாவந்தோ லோகா ஈஸ்²வரஸ்யாத்மநாக்ரு’ஷ்யந்தே தே ஸர்வ்வ ஈஸ்²வரஸ்ய ஸந்தாநா ப⁴வந்தி|
15 [You have showed that this is true], because you received [from God] a Spirit that is not one that makes you fear [God] again. You are not like slaves who [fear their masters] [MET]. On the contrary, we have received a Spirit by whose [work in our hearts God] has adopted us. The Spirit now enables us to cry out [to God], “[You(sg) are my] Father [DOU]!”

16 The Spirit himself confirms what our spirits [say], that we are God’s children.
அபரஞ்ச வயம் ஈஸ்²வரஸ்ய ஸந்தாநா ஏதஸ்மிந் பவித்ர ஆத்மா ஸ்வயம் அஸ்மாகம் ஆத்மாபி⁴: ஸார்த்³த⁴ம்’ ப்ரமாணம்’ த³தா³தி|
17 Because we are [God’s] children, we also will some day receive/inherit [eternal blessings/privileges]. We will receive/inherit them from God, and we will [also] receive/inherit [them] just like Christ has [inherited them]. But we must suffer [for doing good] as Christ did, in order to receive splendor as he did.
அதஏவ வயம்’ யதி³ ஸந்தாநாஸ்தர்ஹ்யதி⁴காரிண: , அர்தா²த்³ ஈஸ்²வரஸ்ய ஸ்வத்த்வாதி⁴காரிண: க்²ரீஷ்டேந ஸஹாதி⁴காரிணஸ்²ச ப⁴வாம: ; அபரம்’ தேந ஸார்த்³த⁴ம்’ யதி³ து³: க²பா⁴கி³நோ ப⁴வாமஸ்தர்ஹி தஸ்ய விப⁴வஸ்யாபி பா⁴கி³நோ ப⁴விஷ்யாம: |
18 I consider that what we suffer during the present time is not worth [paying attention to, because] the future splendor/glory that will be revealed {that [God] will reveal} to us [is so great].
கிந்த்வஸ்மாஸு யோ பா⁴வீவிப⁴வ: ப்ரகாஸி²ஷ்யதே தஸ்ய ஸமீபே வர்த்தமாநகாலீநம்’ து³: க²மஹம்’ த்ரு’ணாய மந்யே|
19 The [things that God has] created are very eagerly waiting for [the time] [PRS, DOU] when God will reveal who his [true] children are.
யத: ப்ராணிக³ண ஈஸ்²வரஸ்ய ஸந்தாநாநாம்’ விப⁴வப்ராப்திம் ஆகாங்க்ஷந் நிதாந்தம் அபேக்ஷதே|
20 [God] caused the things that he created to be unable to achieve [what he had purposed. That was] not because they wanted to [be unable to do that]. On the contrary, [God] made them that way because he wanted them to keep confidently expecting
அபரஞ்ச ப்ராணிக³ண: ஸ்வைரம் அலீகதாயா வஸீ²க்ரு’தோ நாப⁴வத்
21 that the things that [he] created will be freed {that [he] will free the things that [he] created} from their sure decay [MET]. [He] will free them in order that [he can give them] the same glory that belongs to his children.
கிந்து ப்ராணிக³ணோ(அ)பி நஸ்²வரதாதீ⁴நத்வாத் முக்த: ஸந் ஈஸ்²வரஸ்ய ஸந்தாநாநாம்’ பரமமுக்திம்’ ப்ராப்ஸ்யதீத்யபி⁴ப்ராயேண வஸீ²கர்த்ரா வஸீ²சக்ரே|
22 We know that until now [it is as though] all [things] that God created have been groaning together, [and they long for that glory, just like a mother having the pains before bearing a child] groans [and longs for her baby’s birth] [MET].
அபரஞ்ச ப்ரஸூயமாநாவத்³ வ்யதி²த: ஸந் இதா³நீம்’ யாவத் க்ரு’த்ஸ்ந: ப்ராணிக³ண ஆர்த்தஸ்வரம்’ கரோதீதி வயம்’ ஜாநீம: |
23 Not only [do those things groan], but we ourselves also groan inwardly. We who have [God’s] Spirit, who is like a partial gift [MET] we have received as we wait for [the future glory, groan inwardly]. We groan while we wait eagerly for the time when we will receive our [full] rights as God’s adopted children. That [will include] his freeing our bodies [from the things that hinder us on earth. He will do this by giving us new bodies].
கேவல: ஸ இதி நஹி கிந்து ப்ரத²மஜாதப²லஸ்வரூபம் ஆத்மாநம்’ ப்ராப்தா வயமபி த³த்தகபுத்ரத்வபத³ப்ராப்திம் அர்தா²த் ஸ²ரீரஸ்ய முக்திம்’ ப்ரதீக்ஷமாணாஸ்தத்³வத்³ அந்தரார்த்தராவம்’ குர்ம்ம: |
24 Ever since we were saved {since [God] saved us}, we have continued to confidently expect [that future glory]. If we had what we waited for, we would not [need to] wait for it any longer, because those who have something, certainly do not continue to wait for it! [RHQ]
வயம்’ ப்ரத்யாஸ²யா த்ராணம் அலபா⁴மஹி கிந்து ப்ரத்யக்ஷவஸ்துநோ யா ப்ரத்யாஸா² ஸா ப்ரத்யாஸா² நஹி, யதோ மநுஷ்யோ யத் ஸமீக்ஷதே தஸ்ய ப்ரத்யாஸா²ம்’ குத: கரிஷ்யதி?
25 But because we keep waiting expectantly to receive what we do not yet have, we wait for it eagerly and patiently/perseveringly.
யத்³ அப்ரத்யக்ஷம்’ தஸ்ய ப்ரத்யாஸா²ம்’ யதி³ வயம்’ குர்வ்வீமஹி தர்ஹி தை⁴ர்ய்யம் அவலம்ப்³ய ப்ரதீக்ஷாமஹே|
26 Similarly, in addition to our continuing to wait for what God will give us, God’s Spirit helps us when our spirits feel weak. We do not know what is proper/necessary for us to pray. But God’s Spirit knows, and he prays for us when we groan (OR, he groans) in a way that cannot be expressed in words (OR, prays with us, groaning in a way that cannot be expressed in words).
தத ஆத்மாபி ஸ்வயம் அஸ்மாகம்’ து³ர்ப்³ப³லதாயா: ஸஹாயத்வம்’ கரோதி; யத: கிம்’ ப்ரார்தி²தவ்யம்’ தத்³ போ³த்³து⁴ம்’ வயம்’ ந ஸ²க்நும: , கிந்த்வஸ்பஷ்டைரார்த்தராவைராத்மா ஸ்வயம் அஸ்மந்நிமித்தம்’ நிவேத³யதி|
27 God, who examines our inner feelings, understands what his Spirit desires. What God understands is that his Spirit prays for us who belong to God exactly as God wants him to pray.
அபரம் ஈஸ்²வராபி⁴மதரூபேண பவித்ரலோகாநாம்’ க்ரு’தே நிவேத³யதி ய ஆத்மா தஸ்யாபி⁴ப்ராயோ(அ)ந்தர்ய்யாமிநா ஜ்ஞாயதே|
28 And we know that to those/us who love God, he works out all things that happen [to them/us] in a way that produces good [spiritual] benefits [for us]. He does these things for those/us whom he has chosen, because that was (OR, was according to) what he planned to do.

29 God knew previously [that we would believe] in him (OR, [would be saved]). We are those who God also decided previously would develop a character like his Son’s character. The result of that is that [Christ is like] a firstborn/highest-ranking [son], and [those/we who are God’s children] [MET] are [like] [MET] many [younger] brothers [of Jesus].

30 And us who God decided previously [that we would become like his Son], he also summoned. And for us whom he summoned, he also erased the record of our sins. And for us whose record of sins he has erased, he also will surely give future splendor.

31 So (I will tell you what we must conclude from [all] these things [that God does for us]./what shall we conclude from [all] these things [that God does for us]?) [RHQ] Because God [is acting] on our behalf, (no one can win against us!/can anyone defeat us? (OR, it does not matter if anyone opposes us)!) [RHQ]
இத்யத்ர வயம்’ கிம்’ ப்³ரூம: ? ஈஸ்²வரோ யத்³யஸ்மாகம்’ ஸபக்ஷோ ப⁴வதி தர்ஹி கோ விபக்ஷோ(அ)ஸ்மாகம்’?
32 God did not spare even his very own Son. Instead, he turned him over [to others to cruelly kill him] in order that all we [who believe in him] may benefit [from his dying for us. Therefore, because God did that], (he will also certainly give us freely everything [that we need to live for him], in addition to [giving us] Christ./will he not also certainly give us freely everything [that we need to live for him], in addition to [giving us] Christ?) [RHQ]

33 It is God himself who erases the record of our sins. So (no one who accuses us [before God will win against us] (OR, [it does not matter] if anyone tries to accuse us) whom God has chosen./is it possible that anyone who accuses us [before God] will win against us (OR, does it matter if anyone tries to accuse us) whom God has chosen?) [RHQ]

34 It is Christ Jesus himself who pleads [with God] for us, so (no one can condemn us (OR, say that we are still guilty for our sin)./can anyone condemn us (OR, say that we are still guilty for our sin)?) [RHQ] Christ died [for us], but he was also brought back to life {[God] also raised him from the dead}, and he is now at the place of honor [ruling] with God [MTY].

35 Absolutely no one and nothing can cause Christ to stop loving us! [RHQ] That could not [RHQ] happen [because someone] caused us to have trouble [DOU], or [because someone did things to] harm us, or [because we did] not have anything to eat, or [because we did] not have enough clothes, or [because we lived in a] dangerous situation, or [because someone killed us with] a sword [MTY] (OR, murdered us).

36 [Such things may happen to us, just like] it is written {[as David] wrote} [that David said to God], “Because we are your [(sg)] people, [other people repeatedly attempt to] kill us. They consider that we are [only people to be killed], [like a butcher considers] that sheep are [only] animals to be slaughtered [MET].”

37 But even though all these bad things [may happen to us], we win a great victory/triumph [over these things because Christ], who loves us, [helps us].

39 nor [powerful beings] above [the horizon] or below [the horizon] [MTY], nor anything else that [God has] created can cause God to stop loving us. [God showed us that he loves us by sending] Jesus Christ our Lord [to die for us].
