romiṇaḥ 8

1 ye janāḥ khrīṣṭaṁ yīśum āśritya śārīrikaṁ nācaranta ātmikamācaranti te'dhunā daṇḍārhā na bhavanti|

[There is] then now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus.

2 jīvanadāyakasyātmano vyavasthā khrīṣṭayīśunā pāpamaraṇayo rvyavasthāto māmamocayat|

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

3 yasmācchārīrasya durbbalatvād vyavasthayā yat karmmāsādhyam īśvaro nijaputraṁ pāpiśarīrarūpaṁ pāpanāśakabalirūpañca preṣya tasya śarīre pāpasya daṇḍaṁ kurvvan tatkarmma sādhitavān|

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

4 tataḥ śārīrikaṁ nācaritvāsmābhirātmikam ācaradbhirvyavasthāgranthe nirddiṣṭāni puṇyakarmmāṇi sarvvāṇi sādhyante|

in order that the righteous requirement of the law should be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to flesh but according to Spirit.

5 ye śārīrikācāriṇaste śārīrikān viṣayān bhāvayanti ye cātmikācāriṇaste ātmano viṣayān bhāvayanti|

For they that are according to flesh mind the things of the flesh; and they that are according to Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

6 śārīrikabhāvasya phalaṁ mṛtyuḥ kiñcātmikabhāvasya phale jīvanaṁ śāntiśca|

For the mind of the flesh [is] death; but the mind of the Spirit life and peace.

7 yataḥ śārīrikabhāva īśvarasya viruddhaḥ śatrutābhāva eva sa īśvarasya vyavasthāyā adhīno na bhavati bhavituñca na śaknoti|

Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God; for neither indeed can it be:

8 etasmāt śārīrikācāriṣu toṣṭum īśvareṇa na śakyaṁ|

and they that are in flesh cannot please God.

9 kintvīśvarasyātmā yadi yuṣmākaṁ madhye vasati tarhi yūyaṁ śārīrikācāriṇo na santa ātmikācāriṇo bhavathaḥ| yasmin tu khrīṣṭasyātmā na vidyate sa tatsambhavo nahi|

But ye are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed God's Spirit dwell in you; but if any one has not [the] Spirit of Christ he is not of him:

10 yadi khrīṣṭo yuṣmān adhitiṣṭhati tarhi pāpam uddiśya śarīraṁ mṛtaṁ kintu puṇyamuddiśyātmā jīvati|

but if Christ be in you, the body is dead on account of sin, but the Spirit life on account of righteousness.

11 mṛtagaṇād yīśu ryenotthāpitastasyātmā yadi yuṣmanmadhye vasati tarhi mṛtagaṇāt khrīṣṭasya sa utthāpayitā yuṣmanmadhyavāsinā svakīyātmanā yuṣmākaṁ mṛtadehānapi puna rjīvayiṣyati|

But if the Spirit of him that has raised up Jesus from among [the] dead dwell in you, he that has raised up Christ from among [the] dead shall quicken your mortal bodies also on account of his Spirit which dwells in you.

12 he bhrātṛgaṇa śarīrasya vayamadhamarṇā na bhavāmo'taḥ śārīrikācāro'smābhi rna karttavyaḥ|

So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to flesh;

13 yadi yūyaṁ śarīrikācāriṇo bhaveta tarhi yuṣmābhi rmarttavyameva kintvātmanā yadi śarīrakarmmāṇi ghātayeta tarhi jīviṣyatha|

for if ye live according to flesh, ye are about to die; but if, by the Spirit, ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live:

14 yato yāvanto lokā īśvarasyātmanākṛṣyante te sarvva īśvarasya santānā bhavanti|

for as many as are led by [the] Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

15 yūyaṁ punarapi bhayajanakaṁ dāsyabhāvaṁ na prāptāḥ kintu yena bhāveneśvaraṁ pitaḥ pitariti procya sambodhayatha tādṛśaṁ dattakaputratvabhāvam prāpnuta|

For ye have not received a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye have received a spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

16 aparañca vayam īśvarasya santānā etasmin pavitra ātmā svayam asmākam ātmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ pramāṇaṁ dadāti|

The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God.

17 ataeva vayaṁ yadi santānāstarhyadhikāriṇaḥ, arthād īśvarasya svattvādhikāriṇaḥ khrīṣṭena sahādhikāriṇaśca bhavāmaḥ; aparaṁ tena sārddhaṁ yadi duḥkhabhāgino bhavāmastarhi tasya vibhavasyāpi bhāgino bhaviṣyāmaḥ|

And if children, heirs also: heirs of God, and Christ's joint heirs; if indeed we suffer with [him], that we may also be glorified with [him].

18 kintvasmāsu yo bhāvīvibhavaḥ prakāśiṣyate tasya samīpe varttamānakālīnaṁ duḥkhamahaṁ tṛṇāya manye|

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy [to be compared] with the coming glory to be revealed to us.

19 yataḥ prāṇigaṇa īśvarasya santānānāṁ vibhavaprāptim ākāṅkṣan nitāntam apekṣate|

For the anxious looking out of the creature expects the revelation of the sons of God:

20 aparañca prāṇigaṇaḥ svairam alīkatāyā vaśīkṛto nābhavat

for the creature has been made subject to vanity, not of its will, but by reason of him who has subjected [the same], in hope

21 kintu prāṇigaṇo'pi naśvaratādhīnatvāt muktaḥ san īśvarasya santānānāṁ paramamuktiṁ prāpsyatītyabhiprāyeṇa vaśīkartrā vaśīcakre|

that the creature itself also shall be set free from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

22 aparañca prasūyamānāvad vyathitaḥ san idānīṁ yāvat kṛtsnaḥ prāṇigaṇa ārttasvaraṁ karotīti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|

For we know that the whole creation groans together and travails in pain together until now.

23 kevalaḥ sa iti nahi kintu prathamajātaphalasvarūpam ātmānaṁ prāptā vayamapi dattakaputratvapadaprāptim arthāt śarīrasya muktiṁ pratīkṣamāṇāstadvad antarārttarāvaṁ kurmmaḥ|

And not only [that], but even we ourselves, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, we also ourselves groan in ourselves, awaiting adoption, [that is] the redemption of our body.

24 vayaṁ pratyāśayā trāṇam alabhāmahi kintu pratyakṣavastuno yā pratyāśā sā pratyāśā nahi, yato manuṣyo yat samīkṣate tasya pratyāśāṁ kutaḥ kariṣyati?

For we have been saved in hope; but hope seen is not hope; for what any one sees, why does he also hope?

25 yad apratyakṣaṁ tasya pratyāśāṁ yadi vayaṁ kurvvīmahi tarhi dhairyyam avalambya pratīkṣāmahe|

But if what we see not we hope, we expect in patience.

26 tata ātmāpi svayam asmākaṁ durbbalatāyāḥ sahāyatvaṁ karoti; yataḥ kiṁ prārthitavyaṁ tad boddhuṁ vayaṁ na śaknumaḥ, kintvaspaṣṭairārttarāvairātmā svayam asmannimittaṁ nivedayati|

And in like manner the Spirit joins also its help to our weakness; for we do not know what we should pray for as is fitting, but the Spirit itself makes intercession with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27 aparam īśvarābhimatarūpeṇa pavitralokānāṁ kṛte nivedayati ya ātmā tasyābhiprāyo'ntaryyāminā jñāyate|

But he who searches the hearts knows what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for saints according to God.

28 aparam īśvarīyanirūpaṇānusāreṇāhūtāḥ santo ye tasmin prīyante sarvvāṇi militvā teṣāṁ maṅgalaṁ sādhayanti, etad vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|

But we do know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to purpose.

29 yata īśvaro bahubhrātṛṇāṁ madhye svaputraṁ jyeṣṭhaṁ karttum icchan yān pūrvvaṁ lakṣyīkṛtavān tān tasya pratimūrtyāḥ sādṛśyaprāptyarthaṁ nyayuṁkta|

Because whom he has foreknown, he has also predestinated [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, so that he should be [the] firstborn among many brethren.

30 aparañca tena ye niyuktāsta āhūtā api ye ca tenāhūtāste sapuṇyīkṛtāḥ, ye ca tena sapuṇyīkṛtāste vibhavayuktāḥ|

But whom he has predestinated, these also he has called; and whom he has called, these also he has justified; but whom he has justified, these also he has glorified.

31 ityatra vayaṁ kiṁ brūmaḥ? īśvaro yadyasmākaṁ sapakṣo bhavati tarhi ko vipakṣo'smākaṁ?

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

32 ātmaputraṁ na rakṣitvā yo'smākaṁ sarvveṣāṁ kṛte taṁ pradattavān sa kiṁ tena sahāsmabhyam anyāni sarvvāṇi na dāsyati?

He who, yea, has not spared his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him grant us all things?

33 īśvarasyābhiruciteṣu kena doṣa āropayiṣyate? ya īśvarastān puṇyavata iva gaṇayati kiṁ tena?

Who shall bring an accusation against God's elect? [It is] God who justifies:

34 aparaṁ tebhyo daṇḍadānājñā vā kena kariṣyate? yo'smannimittaṁ prāṇān tyaktavān kevalaṁ tanna kintu mṛtagaṇamadhyād utthitavān, api ceśvarasya dakṣiṇe pārśve tiṣṭhan adyāpyasmākaṁ nimittaṁ prārthata evambhūto yaḥ khrīṣṭaḥ kiṁ tena?

who is he that condemns? [It is] Christ who has died, but rather has been [also] raised up; who is also at the right hand of God; who also intercedes for us.

35 asmābhiḥ saha khrīṣṭasya premavicchedaṁ janayituṁ kaḥ śaknoti? kleśo vyasanaṁ vā tāḍanā vā durbhikṣaṁ vā vastrahīnatvaṁ vā prāṇasaṁśayo vā khaṅgo vā kimetāni śaknuvanti?

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

36 kintu likhitam āste, yathā, vayaṁ tava nimittaṁ smo mṛtyuvaktre'khilaṁ dinaṁ| balirdeyo yathā meṣo vayaṁ gaṇyāmahe tathā|

According as it is written, For thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we have been reckoned as sheep for slaughter.

37 aparaṁ yo'smāsu prīyate tenaitāsu vipatsu vayaṁ samyag vijayāmahe|

But in all these things we more than conquer through him that has loved us.

38 yato'smākaṁ prabhunā yīśukhrīṣṭeneśvarasya yat prema tasmād asmākaṁ vicchedaṁ janayituṁ mṛtyu rjīvanaṁ vā divyadūtā vā balavanto mukhyadūtā vā varttamāno vā bhaviṣyan kālo vā uccapadaṁ vā nīcapadaṁ vāparaṁ kimapi sṛṣṭavastu

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

39 vaiteṣāṁ kenāpi na śakyamityasmin dṛḍhaviśvāso mamāste|

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.
