Προς Ρωμαιους 8

1 ουδεν αρα νυν κατακριμα τοις εν χριστω ιησου μη κατα σαρκα περιπατουσιν αλλα κατα πνευμα

There is, then, no condemnation, now, to those who are in Christ Jesus.

2 ο γαρ νομος του πνευματος της ζωης εν χριστω ιησου ηλευθερωσεν με απο του νομου της αμαρτιας και του θανατου

For the law of the Spirit of Life by Christ Jesus, has freed me from the law of sin, and of death.

3 το γαρ αδυνατον του νομου εν ω ησθενει δια της σαρκος ο θεος τον εαυτου υιον πεμψας εν ομοιωματι σαρκος αμαρτιας και περι αμαρτιας κατεκρινεν την αμαρτιαν εν τη σαρκι

For what the law could not accomplish in that it was weak through the flesh; God sending his own Son, in the likeness of sinful flesh, accomplished; and by an offering for sin, condemned sin in the flesh.

4 ινα το δικαιωμα του νομου πληρωθη εν ημιν τοις μη κατα σαρκα περιπατουσιν αλλα κατα πνευμα

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled by us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

5 οι γαρ κατα σαρκα οντες τα της σαρκος φρονουσιν οι δε κατα πνευμα τα του πνευματος

Now, they who live according to the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; and they who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

6 το γαρ φρονημα της σαρκος θανατος το δε φρονημα του πνευματος ζωη και ειρηνη

But the mind of the flesh is death; and the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:

7 διοτι το φρονημα της σαρκος εχθρα εις θεον τω γαρ νομω του θεου ουχ υποτασσεται ουδε γαρ δυναται

because the mind of the flesh is enmity toward God: for, to the law of God it is not subject; neither, indeed, can be.

8 οι δε εν σαρκι οντες θεω αρεσαι ου δυνανται

Those, then, who are in the flesh, can not please God.

9 υμεις δε ουκ εστε εν σαρκι αλλ εν πνευματι ειπερ πνευμα θεου οικει εν υμιν ει δε τις πνευμα χριστου ουκ εχει ουτος ουκ εστιν αυτου

Now, you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit; because the Spirit of God dwells in you. But, if any one have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

10 ει δε χριστος εν υμιν το μεν σωμα νεκρον δι αμαρτιαν το δε πνευμα ζωη δια δικαιοσυνην

And if Christ be in you, the body, indeed, is dead, with respect to sin; but the Spirit is life, with respect to righteousness.

11 ει δε το πνευμα του εγειραντος ιησουν εκ νεκρων οικει εν υμιν ο εγειρας τον χριστον εκ νεκρων ζωοποιησει και τα θνητα σωματα υμων δια του ενοικουντος αυτου πνευματος εν υμιν

For, if the Spirit of him, who raised up Jesus from the dead, dwell in you; he who raised up Christ from the dead, will make even your mortal bodies alive, through his Spirit, who dwells in you.

12 αρα ουν αδελφοι οφειλεται εσμεν ου τη σαρκι του κατα σαρκα ζην

Well, then, brethren, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

13 ει γαρ κατα σαρκα ζητε μελλετε αποθνησκειν ει δε πνευματι τας πραξεις του σωματος θανατουτε ζησεσθε

Wherefore, if you live according to the flesh, you shall die; but if, through the Spirit, you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live.

14 οσοι γαρ πνευματι θεου αγονται ουτοι εισιν υιοι θεου

Because, as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.

15 ου γαρ ελαβετε πνευμα δουλειας παλιν εις φοβον αλλ ελαβετε πνευμα υιοθεσιας εν ω κραζομεν αββα ο πατηρ

For you have not received the spirit of bondage, again, to fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father.

16 αυτο το πνευμα συμμαρτυρει τω πνευματι ημων οτι εσμεν τεκνα θεου

Also this spirit bears witness, together with our spirit, that we are children of God.

17 ει δε τεκνα και κληρονομοι κληρονομοι μεν θεου συγκληρονομοι δε χριστου ειπερ συμπασχομεν ινα και συνδοξασθωμεν

And if children, then heirs; heirs, indeed, of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if, indeed, we suffer with him, that with him also we may be glorified.

18 λογιζομαι γαρ οτι ουκ αξια τα παθηματα του νυν καιρου προς την μελλουσαν δοξαν αποκαλυφθηναι εις ημας

However, I esteem not the sufferings of the present time, as worthy of comparison with the glory, which is hereafter to be revealed in us.

19 η γαρ αποκαραδοκια της κτισεως την αποκαλυψιν των υιων του θεου απεκδεχεται

For the earnest expectation of the creature, is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God.

20 τη γαρ ματαιοτητι η κτισις υπεταγη ουχ εκουσα αλλα δια τον υποταξαντα επ ελπιδι

For the creature was subjected to frailty, (not of its own choice, but by him who has subjected it, ) in hope,

21 οτι και αυτη η κτισις ελευθερωθησεται απο της δουλειας της φθορας εις την ελευθεριαν της δοξης των τεκνων του θεου

that it may be liberated, from the bondage of a perishing state, and brought into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.

22 οιδαμεν γαρ οτι πασα η κτισις συστεναζει και συνωδινει αχρι του νυν

Besides, we know, that the whole creation sigh together, and travail in anguish till the present time.

23 ου μονον δε αλλα και αυτοι την απαρχην του πνευματος εχοντες και ημεις αυτοι εν εαυτοις στεναζομεν υιοθεσιαν απεκδεχομενοι την απολυτρωσιν του σωματος ημων

And not only they, but ourselves also, who have the first fruit of the Spirit; even we ourselves, groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption; namely, the redemption of our body.

24 τη γαρ ελπιδι εσωθημεν ελπις δε βλεπομενη ουκ εστιν ελπις ο γαρ βλεπει τις τι και ελπιζει

For even we are saved by hope. Now, hope that is attained, is not hope; for who can hope for that which he enjoys?

25 ει δε ο ου βλεπομεν ελπιζομεν δι υπομονης απεκδεχομεθα

But if we hope for that which we do not enjoy, then, with patience, we wait for it.

26 ωσαυτως δε και το πνευμα συναντιλαμβανεται ταις ασθενειαις ημων το γαρ τι προσευξωμεθα καθο δει ουκ οιδαμεν αλλ αυτο το πνευμα υπερεντυγχανει υπερ ημων στεναγμοις αλαλητοις

In like manner, also, the Spirit helps our infirmities; for we know not what we should pray for, as we ought; however, the Spirit himself intercedes for us, in sighs, which can not be uttered.

27 ο δε ερευνων τας καρδιας οιδεν τι το φρονημα του πνευματος οτι κατα θεον εντυγχανει υπερ αγιων

But he who searches the hearts, knows the mind of the Spirit; that, according to the will of God, he makes intercession for the saints.

28 οιδαμεν δε οτι τοις αγαπωσιν τον θεον παντα συνεργει εις αγαθον τοις κατα προθεσιν κλητοις ουσιν

Besides, we know, that all things work together for good, to them who love God; to them, who are called according to his purpose.

29 οτι ους προεγνω και προωρισεν συμμορφους της εικονος του υιου αυτου εις το ειναι αυτον πρωτοτοκον εν πολλοις αδελφοις

For, whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be conformed to the image of his Son; that he might be the first born among many brethren.

30 ους δε προωρισεν τουτους και εκαλεσεν και ους εκαλεσεν τουτους και εδικαιωσεν ους δε εδικαιωσεν τουτους και εδοξασεν

Moreover, whom he predestinated, them he also called; and whom he called, them he also justified; and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

31 τι ουν ερουμεν προς ταυτα ει ο θεος υπερ ημων τις καθ ημων

What shall we say, then, to these things? Since God is for us, who can be against us?

32 ος γε του ιδιου υιου ουκ εφεισατο αλλ υπερ ημων παντων παρεδωκεν αυτον πως ουχι και συν αυτω τα παντα ημιν χαρισεται

He, certainly, who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all; how will he not, with him, also, graciously give us all things?

33 τις εγκαλεσει κατα εκλεκτων θεου θεος ο δικαιων

Who will bring an accusation against the elect of God? Is it God who justifies them?

34 τις ο κατακρινων χριστος ο αποθανων μαλλον δε και εγερθεις ος και εστιν εν δεξια του θεου ος και εντυγχανει υπερ ημων

Who is he, who condemns them? It is Christ, who died; or rather, who has risen: who also, is at the right hand of God; and who makes intercession for us?

35 τις ημας χωρισει απο της αγαπης του χριστου θλιψις η στενοχωρια η διωγμος η λιμος η γυμνοτης η κινδυνος η μαχαιρα

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will affliction, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 καθως γεγραπται οτι ενεκα σου θανατουμεθα ολην την ημεραν ελογισθημεν ως προβατα σφαγης

As it is written, "Truly, for thy sake, we are put to death all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."

37 αλλ εν τουτοις πασιν υπερνικωμεν δια του αγαπησαντος ημας

Nay, in all these things, we do more than overcome, through him who has loved us.

38 πεπεισμαι γαρ οτι ουτε θανατος ουτε ζωη ουτε αγγελοι ουτε αρχαι ουτε δυναμεις ουτε ενεστωτα ουτε μελλοντα

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life; neither angels, nor principalities; nor powers; neither things present, nor to come;

39 ουτε υψωμα ουτε βαθος ουτε τις κτισις ετερα δυνησεται ημας χωρισαι απο της αγαπης του θεου της εν χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων

neither hight, nor depth; nor any created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
