rOmiNaH 8

1 yE janAH khrISTaM yIzum Azritya zArIrikaM nAcaranta AtmikamAcaranti tE'dhunA daNPArhA na bhavanti|

There is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

2 jIvanadAyakasyAtmanO vyavasthA khrISTayIzunA pApamaraNayO rvyavasthAtO mAmamOcayat|

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

3 yasmAcchArIrasya durbbalatvAd vyavasthayA yat karmmAsAdhyam IzvarO nijaputraM pApizarIrarUpaM pApanAzakabalirUpanjca prESya tasya zarIrE pApasya daNPaM kurvvan tatkarmma sAdhitavAn|

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

4 tataH zArIrikaM nAcaritvAsmAbhirAtmikam AcaradbhirvyavasthAgranthE nirddiSTAni puNyakarmmANi sarvvANi sAdhyantE|

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

5 yE zArIrikAcAriNastE zArIrikAn viSayAn bhAvayanti yE cAtmikAcAriNastE AtmanO viSayAn bhAvayanti|

For they that are according to the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are according to the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

6 zArIrikabhAvasya phalaM mRtyuH kinjcAtmikabhAvasya phalE jIvanaM zAntizca|

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 yataH zArIrikabhAva Izvarasya viruddhaH zatrutAbhAva Eva sa Izvarasya vyavasthAyA adhInO na bhavati bhavitunjca na zaknOti|

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8 EtasmAt zArIrikAcAriSu tOSTum IzvarENa na zakyaM|

So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 kintvIzvarasyAtmA yadi yuSmAkaM madhyE vasati tarhi yUyaM zArIrikAcAriNO na santa AtmikAcAriNO bhavathaH| yasmin tu khrISTasyAtmA na vidyatE sa tatsambhavO nahi|

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. Now if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

10 yadi khrISTO yuSmAn adhitiSThati tarhi pApam uddizya zarIraM mRtaM kintu puNyamuddizyAtmA jIvati|

And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

11 mRtagaNAd yIzu ryEnOtthApitastasyAtmA yadi yuSmanmadhyE vasati tarhi mRtagaNAt khrISTasya sa utthApayitA yuSmanmadhyavAsinA svakIyAtmanA yuSmAkaM mRtadEhAnapi puna rjIvayiSyati|

But if the Spirit of him that raised Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised Christ from the dead shall also give life to your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

12 hE bhrAtRgaNa zarIrasya vayamadhamarNA na bhavAmO'taH zArIrikAcArO'smAbhi rna karttavyaH|

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

13 yadi yUyaM zarIrikAcAriNO bhavEta tarhi yuSmAbhi rmarttavyamEva kintvAtmanA yadi zarIrakarmmANi ghAtayEta tarhi jIviSyatha|

For if ye live according to the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

14 yatO yAvantO lOkA IzvarasyAtmanAkRSyantE tE sarvva Izvarasya santAnA bhavanti|

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

15 yUyaM punarapi bhayajanakaM dAsyabhAvaM na prAptAH kintu yEna bhAvEnEzvaraM pitaH pitariti prOcya sambOdhayatha tAdRzaM dattakaputratvabhAvam prApnuta|

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

16 aparanjca vayam Izvarasya santAnA Etasmin pavitra AtmA svayam asmAkam AtmAbhiH sArddhaM pramANaM dadAti|

The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

17 ataEva vayaM yadi santAnAstarhyadhikAriNaH, arthAd Izvarasya svattvAdhikAriNaH khrISTEna sahAdhikAriNazca bhavAmaH; aparaM tEna sArddhaM yadi duHkhabhAginO bhavAmastarhi tasya vibhavasyApi bhAginO bhaviSyAmaH|

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

18 kintvasmAsu yO bhAvIvibhavaH prakAziSyatE tasya samIpE varttamAnakAlInaM duHkhamahaM tRNAya manyE|

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

19 yataH prANigaNa Izvarasya santAnAnAM vibhavaprAptim AkAgkSan nitAntam apEkSatE|

For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God.

20 aparanjca prANigaNaH svairam alIkatAyA vazIkRtO nAbhavat

For the creation was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

21 kintu prANigaNO'pi nazvaratAdhInatvAt muktaH san Izvarasya santAnAnAM paramamuktiM prApsyatItyabhiprAyENa vazIkartrA vazIcakrE|

Because the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

22 aparanjca prasUyamAnAvad vyathitaH san idAnIM yAvat kRtsnaH prANigaNa ArttasvaraM karOtIti vayaM jAnImaH|

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

23 kEvalaH sa iti nahi kintu prathamajAtaphalasvarUpam AtmAnaM prAptA vayamapi dattakaputratvapadaprAptim arthAt zarIrasya muktiM pratIkSamANAstadvad antarArttarAvaM kurmmaH|

And not only they, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, that is, the redemption of our body.

24 vayaM pratyAzayA trANam alabhAmahi kintu pratyakSavastunO yA pratyAzA sA pratyAzA nahi, yatO manuSyO yat samIkSatE tasya pratyAzAM kutaH kariSyati?

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

25 yad apratyakSaM tasya pratyAzAM yadi vayaM kurvvImahi tarhi dhairyyam avalambya pratIkSAmahE|

But if we hope for what we see not, then with patience we wait for it.

26 tata AtmApi svayam asmAkaM durbbalatAyAH sahAyatvaM karOti; yataH kiM prArthitavyaM tad bOddhuM vayaM na zaknumaH, kintvaspaSTairArttarAvairAtmA svayam asmannimittaM nivEdayati|

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27 aparam IzvarAbhimatarUpENa pavitralOkAnAM kRtE nivEdayati ya AtmA tasyAbhiprAyO'ntaryyAminA jnjAyatE|

And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

28 aparam IzvarIyanirUpaNAnusArENAhUtAH santO yE tasmin prIyantE sarvvANi militvA tESAM maggalaM sAdhayanti, Etad vayaM jAnImaH|

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

29 yata IzvarO bahubhrAtRNAM madhyE svaputraM jyESThaM karttum icchan yAn pUrvvaM lakSyIkRtavAn tAn tasya pratimUrtyAH sAdRzyaprAptyarthaM nyayuMkta|

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 aparanjca tEna yE niyuktAsta AhUtA api yE ca tEnAhUtAstE sapuNyIkRtAH, yE ca tEna sapuNyIkRtAstE vibhavayuktAH|

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

31 ityatra vayaM kiM brUmaH? IzvarO yadyasmAkaM sapakSO bhavati tarhi kO vipakSO'smAkaM?

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

32 AtmaputraM na rakSitvA yO'smAkaM sarvvESAM kRtE taM pradattavAn sa kiM tEna sahAsmabhyam anyAni sarvvANi na dAsyati?

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

33 IzvarasyAbhirucitESu kEna dOSa ArOpayiSyatE? ya IzvarastAn puNyavata iva gaNayati kiM tEna?

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.

34 aparaM tEbhyO daNPadAnAjnjA vA kEna kariSyatE? yO'smannimittaM prANAn tyaktavAn kEvalaM tanna kintu mRtagaNamadhyAd utthitavAn, api cEzvarasya dakSiNE pArzvE tiSThan adyApyasmAkaM nimittaM prArthata EvambhUtO yaH khrISTaH kiM tEna?

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, or rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

35 asmAbhiH saha khrISTasya prEmavicchEdaM janayituM kaH zaknOti? klEzO vyasanaM vA tAPanA vA durbhikSaM vA vastrahInatvaM vA prANasaMzayO vA khaggO vA kimEtAni zaknuvanti?

What shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 kintu likhitam AstE, yathA, vayaM tava nimittaM smO mRtyuvaktrE'khilaM dinaM| balirdEyO yathA mESO vayaM gaNyAmahE tathA|

As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 aparaM yO'smAsu prIyatE tEnaitAsu vipatsu vayaM samyag vijayAmahE|

But, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 yatO'smAkaM prabhunA yIzukhrISTEnEzvarasya yat prEma tasmAd asmAkaM vicchEdaM janayituM mRtyu rjIvanaM vA divyadUtA vA balavantO mukhyadUtA vA varttamAnO vA bhaviSyan kAlO vA uccapadaM vA nIcapadaM vAparaM kimapi sRSTavastu

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

39 vaitESAM kEnApi na zakyamityasmin dRPhavizvAsO mamAstE|

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.
