rōmiṇaḥ 8

1 yē janāḥ khrīṣṭaṁ yīśum āśritya śārīrikaṁ nācaranta ātmikamācaranti tē'dhunā daṇḍārhā na bhavanti|

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

2 jīvanadāyakasyātmanō vyavasthā khrīṣṭayīśunā pāpamaraṇayō rvyavasthātō māmamōcayat|

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

3 yasmācchārīrasya durbbalatvād vyavasthayā yat karmmāsādhyam īśvarō nijaputraṁ pāpiśarīrarūpaṁ pāpanāśakabalirūpañca prēṣya tasya śarīrē pāpasya daṇḍaṁ kurvvan tatkarmma sādhitavān|

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

4 tataḥ śārīrikaṁ nācaritvāsmābhirātmikam ācaradbhirvyavasthāgranthē nirddiṣṭāni puṇyakarmmāṇi sarvvāṇi sādhyantē|

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

5 yē śārīrikācāriṇastē śārīrikān viṣayān bhāvayanti yē cātmikācāriṇastē ātmanō viṣayān bhāvayanti|

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

6 śārīrikabhāvasya phalaṁ mr̥tyuḥ kiñcātmikabhāvasya phalē jīvanaṁ śāntiśca|

For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace;

7 yataḥ śārīrikabhāva īśvarasya viruddhaḥ śatrutābhāva ēva sa īśvarasya vyavasthāyā adhīnō na bhavati bhavituñca na śaknōti|

because the mind set on the flesh is hostile towards God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.

8 ētasmāt śārīrikācāriṣu tōṣṭum īśvarēṇa na śakyaṁ|

And those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 kintvīśvarasyātmā yadi yuṣmākaṁ madhyē vasati tarhi yūyaṁ śārīrikācāriṇō na santa ātmikācāriṇō bhavathaḥ| yasmin tu khrīṣṭasyātmā na vidyatē sa tatsambhavō nahi|

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.

10 yadi khrīṣṭō yuṣmān adhitiṣṭhati tarhi pāpam uddiśya śarīraṁ mr̥taṁ kintu puṇyamuddiśyātmā jīvati|

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

11 mr̥tagaṇād yīśu ryēnōtthāpitastasyātmā yadi yuṣmanmadhyē vasati tarhi mr̥tagaṇāt khrīṣṭasya sa utthāpayitā yuṣmanmadhyavāsinā svakīyātmanā yuṣmākaṁ mr̥tadēhānapi puna rjīvayiṣyati|

But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

12 hē bhrātr̥gaṇa śarīrasya vayamadhamarṇā na bhavāmō'taḥ śārīrikācārō'smābhi rna karttavyaḥ|

So then, brothers, we have no obligation to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

13 yadi yūyaṁ śarīrikācāriṇō bhavēta tarhi yuṣmābhi rmarttavyamēva kintvātmanā yadi śarīrakarmmāṇi ghātayēta tarhi jīviṣyatha|

For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

14 yatō yāvantō lōkā īśvarasyātmanākr̥ṣyantē tē 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 yēna bhāvēnēśvaraṁ pitaḥ pitariti prōcya sambōdhayatha tādr̥śaṁ dattakaputratvabhāvam prāpnuta|

For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba. Father."

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

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;

17 ataēva vayaṁ yadi santānāstarhyadhikāriṇaḥ, arthād īśvarasya svattvādhikāriṇaḥ khrīṣṭēna sahādhikāriṇaśca bhavāmaḥ; aparaṁ tēna sārddhaṁ yadi duḥkhabhāginō bhavāmastarhi tasya vibhavasyāpi bhāginō bhaviṣyāmaḥ|

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

18 kintvasmāsu yō bhāvīvibhavaḥ prakāśiṣyatē tasya samīpē varttamānakālīnaṁ duḥkhamahaṁ tr̥ṇāya manyē|

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

19 yataḥ prāṇigaṇa īśvarasya santānānāṁ vibhavaprāptim ākāṅkṣan nitāntam apēkṣatē|

For the creation waits with eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.

20 aparañca prāṇigaṇaḥ svairam alīkatāyā vaśīkr̥tō nābhavat

For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

21 kintu prāṇigaṇō'pi naśvaratādhīnatvāt muktaḥ san īśvarasya santānānāṁ paramamuktiṁ prāpsyatītyabhiprāyēṇa vaśīkartrā vaśīcakrē|

that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

22 aparañca prasūyamānāvad vyathitaḥ san idānīṁ yāvat kr̥tsnaḥ prāṇigaṇa ārttasvaraṁ karōtīti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|

For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers with labor pains together until now.

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

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

24 vayaṁ pratyāśayā trāṇam alabhāmahi kintu pratyakṣavastunō yā pratyāśā sā pratyāśā nahi, yatō manuṣyō yat samīkṣatē tasya pratyāśāṁ kutaḥ kariṣyati?

For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

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

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

26 tata ātmāpi svayam asmākaṁ durbbalatāyāḥ sahāyatvaṁ karōti; yataḥ kiṁ prārthitavyaṁ tad bōddhuṁ vayaṁ na śaknumaḥ, kintvaspaṣṭairārttarāvairātmā svayam asmannimittaṁ nivēdayati|

And in the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we do not know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with inexpressible groanings.

27 aparam īśvarābhimatarūpēṇa pavitralōkānāṁ kr̥tē nivēdayati ya ātmā tasyābhiprāyō'ntaryyāminā jñāyatē|

And he who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit's mind, because he makes intercession for the saints in accordance with God.

28 aparam īśvarīyanirūpaṇānusārēṇāhūtāḥ santō yē tasmin prīyantē sarvvāṇi militvā tēṣāṁ maṅgalaṁ sādhayanti, ētad vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|

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

29 yata īśvarō bahubhrātr̥ṇāṁ madhyē svaputraṁ jyēṣṭhaṁ karttum icchan yān pūrvvaṁ lakṣyīkr̥tavān tān tasya pratimūrtyāḥ sādr̥śyaprāptyarthaṁ nyayuṁkta|

For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

30 aparañca tēna yē niyuktāsta āhūtā api yē ca tēnāhūtāstē sapuṇyīkr̥tāḥ, yē ca tēna sapuṇyīkr̥tāstē vibhavayuktāḥ|

Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.

31 ityatra vayaṁ kiṁ brūmaḥ? īśvarō yadyasmākaṁ sapakṣō bhavati tarhi kō vipakṣō'smākaṁ?

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

32 ātmaputraṁ na rakṣitvā yō'smākaṁ sarvvēṣāṁ kr̥tē taṁ pradattavān sa kiṁ tēna sahāsmabhyam anyāni sarvvāṇi na dāsyati?

He who did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

33 īśvarasyābhirucitēṣu kēna dōṣa ārōpayiṣyatē? ya īśvarastān puṇyavata iva gaṇayati kiṁ tēna?

Who could bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who justifies.

34 aparaṁ tēbhyō daṇḍadānājñā vā kēna kariṣyatē? yō'smannimittaṁ prāṇān tyaktavān kēvalaṁ tanna kintu mr̥tagaṇamadhyād utthitavān, api cēśvarasya dakṣiṇē pārśvē tiṣṭhan adyāpyasmākaṁ nimittaṁ prārthata ēvambhūtō yaḥ khrīṣṭaḥ kiṁ tēna?

Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and more than that, who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

35 asmābhiḥ saha khrīṣṭasya prēmavicchēdaṁ janayituṁ kaḥ śaknōti? klēśō vyasanaṁ vā tāḍanā vā durbhikṣaṁ vā vastrahīnatvaṁ vā prāṇasaṁśayō vā khaṅgō vā kimētāni śaknuvanti?

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

36 kintu likhitam āstē, yathā, vayaṁ tava nimittaṁ smō mr̥tyuvaktrē'khilaṁ dinaṁ| balirdēyō yathā mēṣō vayaṁ gaṇyāmahē tathā|

Even as it is written, "For your sake we are killed all day long. We were regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."

37 aparaṁ yō'smāsu prīyatē tēnaitāsu vipatsu vayaṁ samyag vijayāmahē|

No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

38 yatō'smākaṁ prabhunā yīśukhrīṣṭēnēśvarasya yat prēma tasmād asmākaṁ vicchēdaṁ janayituṁ mr̥tyu rjīvanaṁ vā divyadūtā vā balavantō mukhyadūtā vā varttamānō vā bhaviṣyan kālō vā uccapadaṁ vā nīcapadaṁ vāparaṁ kimapi sr̥ṣṭavastu

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

39 vaitēṣāṁ kēnāpi na śakyamityasmin dr̥ḍhaviśvāsō mamāstē|

nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
