Romanos 8
1 Nihil ergo nunc damnationis est iis, qui sunt in Christo Iesu: qui non secundum carnem ambulant.
There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit;
2 Lex enim spiritus vitæ in Christo Iesu liberavit me a lege peccati et mortis.
for the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus set me free from the law of sin and of death;
3 Nam quod impossibile erat legi, in quo infirmabatur per carnem: Deus Filium suum mittens in similitudinem carnis peccati, et de peccato damnavit peccatum in carne,
for what the Law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh,
4 ut iustificatio legis impleretur in nobis, qui non secundum carnem ambulamus, sed secundum spiritum.
that the righteousness of the Law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
5 Qui enim secundum carnem sunt: quæ carnis sunt, sapiunt. Qui vero secundum spiritum sunt: quæ sunt spiritus, sentiunt.
For those who are according to the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit;
6 Nam prudentia carnis, mors est: prudentia autem spiritus, vita et pax.
for the mind of the flesh [is] death, and the mind of the Spirit—life and peace;
7 Quoniam sapientia carnis inimica est Deo: legi enim Dei non est subiecta: nec enim potest.
because the mind of the flesh [is] enmity to God, for to the Law of God it does not subject itself,
8 Qui autem in carne sunt, Deo placere non possunt.
for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.
9 Vos autem in carne non estis, sed in spiritu: si tamen Spiritus Dei habitat in vobis. Siquis autem Spiritum Christi non habet: hic non est eius.
And you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you; and if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ—this one is not His;
10 Si autem Christus in vobis est: corpus quidem mortuum est propter peccatum, spiritus vero vivit propter iustificationem.
and if Christ [is] in you, the body, indeed, [is] dead because of sin, and the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness,
11 Quod si Spiritus eius, qui suscitavit Iesum a mortuis, habitat in vobis: qui suscitavit Iesum Christum a mortuis, vivificabit et mortalia corpora vestra, propter inhabitantem Spiritum eius in vobis.
and if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus out of the dead dwells in you, He who raised up the Christ out of the dead will also quicken your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you.
12 Ergo fratres debitores sumus non carni, ut secundum carnem vivamus.
So, then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh;
13 Si enim secundum carnem vixeritis, moriemini: si autem Spiritu facta carnis mortificaveritis, vivetis.
for if according to the flesh you live, you are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body you put to death, you will live;
14 Quicumque enim Spiritu Dei aguntur, ii sunt filii Dei.
for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God;
15 Non enim accepistis spiritum servitutis iterum in timore, sed accepistis spiritum adoptionis filiorum, in quo clamamus: Abba (Pater).
for you did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but you received [the] Spirit of adoption in which we cry, “Abba! Father!”
16 Ipse enim Spiritus testimonium reddit spiritui nostro quod sumus filii Dei.
[This] One—the Spirit—testifies with our spirit, that we are children of God;
17 Si autem filii, et heredes: heredes quidem Dei, cohæredes autem Christi: si tamen compatimur, ut et conglorificemur.
and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ—if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.
18 Existimo enim quod non sunt condignæ passiones huius temporis ad futuram gloriam, quæ revelabitur in nobis.
For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory about to be revealed in us;
19 Nam expectatio creaturæ, revelationem filiorum Dei expectat.
for the earnest looking out of the creation expects the revelation of the sons of God;
20 Vanitati enim creatura subiecta est non volens, sed propter eum, qui subiecit eam in spe:
for to vanity was the creation made subject—not of its will, but because of Him who subjected [it]—in hope,
21 quia et ipsa creatura liberabitur a servitute corruptionis in libertatem gloriæ filiorum Dei.
that also the creation itself will be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God;
22 Scimus enim quod omnis creatura ingemiscit, et parturit usque adhuc.
for we have known that all the creation groans together, and travails in pain together until now.
23 Non solum autem illa, sed et nos ipsi primitias Spiritus habentes: et ipsi intra nos gemimus adoptionem filiorum Dei expectantes, redemptionem corporis nostri.
And not only [so], but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves groan in ourselves, expecting adoption—the redemption of our body;
24 Spe enim salvi facti sumus. Spes autem, quæ videtur, non est spes: nam quod videt quis, quid sperat?
for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what anyone beholds, why does he also hope for [it]?
25 Si autem quod non videmus, speramus: per patientiam expectamus.
And if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect [it].
26 Similiter autem et Spiritus adiuvat infirmitatem nostram: nam quid oremus, sicut oportet, nescimus: sed ipse Spiritus postulat pro nobis gemitibus inenarrabilibus.
And in like manner also, the Spirit helps our weaknesses; for what we may pray for, as it is necessary, we have not known, but [this] One—the Spirit—makes intercession for us with unutterable groanings,
27 Qui autem scrutatur corda, scit quid desideret Spiritus: quia secundum Deum postulat pro sanctis.
and He who is searching the hearts has known what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because according to God He intercedes for holy ones.
28 Scimus autem quoniam diligentibus Deum omnia cooperantur in bonum, iis, qui secundum propositum vocati sunt sancti.
And we have known that to those loving God all things work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;
29 Nam quos præscivit, et prædestinavit conformes fieri imaginis Filii sui, ut sit ipse Primogenitus in multis fratribus.
because whom He foreknew, He also foreordained, conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be firstborn among many brothers;
30 Quos autem prædestinavit, hos et vocavit: et quos vocavit, hos et iustificavit: quos autem iustificavit, illos et glorificavit.
and whom He foreordained, these also He called; and whom He called, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He glorified.
31 Quid ergo dicemus ad hæc? Si Deus pro nobis, qui contra nos?
What, then, will we say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [is] against us?
32 Qui etiam proprio Filio suo non pepercit, sed pro nobis omnibus tradidit illum: quo modo non etiam cum illo omnia nobis donavit?
He who indeed did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him grant to us all things?
33 Quis accusabit adversus electos Dei? Deus qui iustificat,
Who will lay a charge against the chosen ones of God? God [is] He that is declaring righteous;
34 quis est qui condemnet? Christus Iesus, qui mortuus est, immo qui et resurrexit, qui est ad dexteram Dei, qui etiam interpellat pro nobis.
who [is] he that is condemning? Christ [is] He that died, indeed, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of God—who also interceded for us.
35 Quis ergo nos separabit a charitate Christi? Tribulatio? An angustia? An fames? An nuditas? An periculum? An persecutio? An gladius?
Who will separate us from the love of the Christ? Tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 (Sicut scriptum est: Quia propter te mortificamur tota die: æstimati sumus sicut oves occisionis.)
According as it has been written: “For Your sake we are put to death all the day long; we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter.”
37 Sed in his omnibus superamus propter eum, qui dilexit nos.
But in all these we more than conquer, through Him who loved us;
38 Certus sum enim quia neque mors, neque vita, neque Angeli, neque principatus, neque virtutes, neque instantia, neque futura, neque fortitudo,
for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,
39 neque altitudo, neque profundum, neque creatura alia poterit nos separare a charitate Dei, quæ est in Christo Iesu Domino nostro.
nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God that [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord.
