Προς Ρωμαιους 8
1 Οὐδὲν ἄρα νῦν κατάκριμα τοῖς ἐν ˚Χριστῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ,
There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit.
2 ὁ γὰρ νόμος τοῦ ˚Πνεύματος τῆς ζωῆς ἐν ˚Χριστῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ, ἠλευθέρωσέν σε ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου τῆς ἁμαρτίας καὶ τοῦ θανάτου.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath set me free from the law of sin and death.
3 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,
For that which was impossible for the law to do, and in which it was weak through the corruption of the flesh, God by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sacrifice for sin, hath done; that is, hath condemned sin in the flesh:
4 ἵνα τὸ δικαίωμα τοῦ νόμου πληρωθῇ ἐν ἡμῖν, τοῖς μὴ κατὰ σάρκα περιπατοῦσιν, ἀλλὰ κατὰ ˚Πνεῦμα.
that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit.
5 Οἱ γὰρ κατὰ σάρκα ὄντες, τὰ τῆς σαρκὸς φρονοῦσιν, οἱ δὲ κατὰ ˚Πνεῦμα, τὰ τοῦ ˚Πνεύματος.
For they who are after the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; but they who are led by the Spirit, do mind spiritual things.
6 Τὸ γὰρ φρόνημα τῆς σαρκὸς θάνατος, τὸ δὲ φρόνημα τοῦ ˚Πνεύματος ζωὴ καὶ εἰρήνη.
Now to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace:
7 Διότι τὸ φρόνημα τῆς σαρκὸς ἔχθρα εἰς ˚Θεόν, τῷ γὰρ νόμῳ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ οὐχ ὑποτάσσεται, οὐδὲ γὰρ δύναται.
because the carnal mind is an enemy to God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be:
8 Οἱ δὲ ἐν σαρκὶ ὄντες, ˚Θεῷ ἀρέσαι οὐ δύνανται.
and they who are carnal, cannot please God.
9 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.
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if the Spirit of God dwelleth in you: but if any one hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 Εἰ δὲ ˚Χριστὸς ἐν ὑμῖν, τὸ μὲν σῶμα νεκρὸν διὰ ἁμαρτίαν, τὸ δὲ ˚Πνεῦμα ζωὴ διὰ δικαιοσύνην.
And if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
11 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.
And if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwelleth in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead, will also restore your mortal bodies to life, by his Spirit that now dwelleth in you.
12 Ἄρα οὖν, ἀδελφοί, ὀφειλέται ἐσμέν, οὐ τῇ σαρκὶ, τοῦ κατὰ σάρκα ζῆν.
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors not to the flesh, to live after the flesh:
13 Εἰ γὰρ κατὰ σάρκα ζῆτε, μέλλετε ἀποθνῄσκειν, εἰ δὲ ˚Πνεύματι τὰς πράξεις τοῦ σώματος θανατοῦτε, ζήσεσθε.
for if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if by the Spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 Ὅσοι γὰρ ˚Πνεύματι ˚Θεοῦ ἄγονται, οὗτοι υἱοὶ ˚Θεοῦ εἰσιν.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.
15 Οὐ γὰρ ἐλάβετε πνεῦμα δουλείας πάλιν εἰς φόβον, ἀλλὰ ἐλάβετε ˚Πνεῦμα υἱοθεσίας, ἐν ᾧ κράζομεν, “Ἀββά, ὁ Πατήρ!”
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 Αὐτὸ τὸ ˚Πνεῦμα συμμαρτυρεῖ τῷ ˚Πνεύματι ἡμῶν ὅτι ἐσμὲν τέκνα ˚Θεοῦ.
So that the Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.
17 Εἰ δὲ τέκνα, καὶ κληρονόμοι· κληρονόμοι μὲν ˚Θεοῦ, συγκληρονόμοι δὲ ˚Χριστοῦ, εἴπερ συμπάσχομεν, ἵνα καὶ συνδοξασθῶμεν.
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and co-heirs with Christ: if so be we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified with Him.
18 Λογίζομαι γὰρ ὅτι οὐκ ἄξια τὰ παθήματα τοῦ νῦν καιροῦ, πρὸς τὴν μέλλουσαν δόξαν ἀποκαλυφθῆναι εἰς ἡμᾶς.
And I account the sufferings of this present time not worthy to be set against the glory that shall be revealed to us.
19 Ἡ γὰρ ἀποκαραδοκία τῆς κτίσεως, τὴν ἀποκάλυψιν τῶν υἱῶν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἀπεκδέχεται.
For the earnest expectation of the world is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God:
20 Τῇ γὰρ ματαιότητι, ἡ κτίσις ὑπετάγη, οὐχ ἑκοῦσα, ἀλλὰ διὰ τὸν ὑποτάξαντα, ἐφʼ ἑλπίδι
(for the world was subjected to vanity, not willingly, but through him who made it subject: )
21 ὅτι καὶ αὐτὴ ἡ κτίσις ἐλευθερωθήσεται ἀπὸ τῆς δουλείας τῆς φθορᾶς, εἰς τὴν ἐλευθερίαν τῆς δόξης τῶν τέκνων τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.
in hope that they also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 Οἴδαμεν γὰρ ὅτι πᾶσα ἡ κτίσις συστενάζει καὶ συνωδίνει ἄχρι τοῦ νῦν.
For we know that the whole world groaneth, and doth as it were travail in pain together even to this day.
23 Οὐ μόνον δέ, ἀλλὰ καὶ αὐτοὶ, τὴν ἀπαρχὴν τοῦ ˚Πνεύματος ἔχοντες, ἡμεῖς καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐν ἑαυτοῖς στενάζομεν, υἱοθεσίαν ἀπεκδεχόμενοι, τὴν ἀπολύτρωσιν τοῦ σώματος ἡμῶν.
And not only others, but those also who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit the redemption of our body.
24 Τῇ γὰρ ἐλπίδι ἐσώθημεν· ἐλπὶς δὲ βλεπομένη, οὐκ ἔστιν ἐλπίς, ὃ γὰρ βλέπει τις, ἐλπίζει;
For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen, is not hope; for what any one sees, how doth he yet hope for?
25 Εἰ δὲ ὃ οὐ βλέπομεν ἐλπίζομεν, διʼ ὑπομονῆς ἀπεκδεχόμεθα.
but if we hope for what we see not, then we wait for it with patience.
26 Ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ τὸ ˚Πνεῦμα συναντιλαμβάνεται τῇ ἀσθενείᾳ ἡμῶν· τὸ γὰρ τί προσευξώμεθα καθὸ δεῖ, οὐκ οἴδαμεν, ἀλλὰ αὐτὸ τὸ ˚Πνεῦμα ὑπερεντυγχάνει στεναγμοῖς ἀλαλήτοις.
And the Spirit likewise helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for, as we ought: but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with unutterable groans.
27 Ὁ δὲ ἐραυνῶν τὰς καρδίας οἶδεν τί τὸ φρόνημα τοῦ ˚Πνεύματος, ὅτι κατὰ ˚Θεὸν, ἐντυγχάνει ὑπὲρ ἁγίων.
And He that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit; for he intercedeth for the saints according to the will of God.
28 Οἴδαμεν δὲ ὅτι τοῖς ἀγαπῶσιν τὸν ˚Θεὸν, πάντα συνεργεῖ ὁ ˚Θεὸς εἰς ἀγαθόν, τοῖς κατὰ πρόθεσιν κλητοῖς οὖσιν.
And we know that all things co-operate for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to his purpose;
29 Ὅτι οὓς προέγνω, καὶ προώρισεν συμμόρφους τῆς εἰκόνος τοῦ Υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν πρωτότοκον ἐν πολλοῖς ἀδελφοῖς.
for those whom he foreknew, He also predetermined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that He might be as the first-born among many brethren: and whom He before ordained, these He also called;
30 Οὓς δὲ προώρισεν, τούτους καὶ ἐκάλεσεν· καὶ οὓς ἐκάλεσεν, τούτους καὶ ἐδικαίωσεν· οὓς δὲ ἐδικαίωσεν, τούτους καὶ ἐδόξασεν.
and whom He called, these he also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
31 Τί οὖν ἐροῦμεν πρὸς ταῦτα; Εἰ ὁ ˚Θεὸς ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, τίς καθʼ ἡμῶν;
What shall we say then to these things? if God be for us, who can be against us?
32 Ὅς γε τοῦ ἰδίου Υἱοῦ οὐκ ἐφείσατο, ἀλλὰ ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν πάντων παρέδωκεν αὐτόν, πῶς οὐχὶ καὶ σὺν αὐτῷ, τὰ πάντα ἡμῖν χαρίσεται;
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him freely give us all things?
33 Τίς ἐγκαλέσει κατὰ ἐκλεκτῶν ˚Θεοῦ; ˚Θεὸς ὁ δικαιῶν.
Who shall lay any accusation against the elect of God? will God, who justifieth us?
34 Τίς ὁ κατακρίνων; ˚Χριστὸς ˚Ἰησοῦς ὁ ἀποθανών, μᾶλλον δὲ ἐγερθείς ὅς, καί ἐστιν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ὃς καὶ ἐντυγχάνει ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν.
Who is he that condemneth? Is it Christ, that died for us? yea rather, that is risen again, who is also at the right hand of God, and who maketh intercession for us?
35 Τίς ἡμᾶς χωρίσει ἀπὸ τῆς ἀγάπης τοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ; Θλῖψις, ἢ στενοχωρία, ἢ διωγμὸς, ἢ λιμὸς, ἢ γυμνότης, ἢ κίνδυνος, ἢ μάχαιρα;
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall affliction, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 Καθὼς γέγραπται, ὅτι “Ἕνεκεν σοῦ, θανατούμεθα ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν, ἐλογίσθημεν ὡς πρόβατα σφαγῆς.”
(as it is written, "for thy sake we are killed all the day long, we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter:")
37 Ἀλλʼ ἐν τούτοις πᾶσιν, ὑπερνικῶμεν διὰ τοῦ ἀγαπήσαντος ἡμᾶς.
but in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.
38 Πέπεισμαι γὰρ ὅτι οὔτε θάνατος, οὔτε ζωὴ, οὔτε ἄγγελοι, οὔτε ἀρχαὶ, οὔτε ἐνεστῶτα, οὔτε μέλλοντα, οὔτε δυνάμεις,
For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things future,
39 οὔτε ὕψωμα, οὔτε βάθος, οὔτε τις κτίσις ἑτέρα, δυνήσεται ἡμᾶς χωρίσαι ἀπὸ τῆς ἀγάπης τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, τῆς ἐν ˚Χριστῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ, τῷ ˚Κυρίῳ ἡμῶν.
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.
