Romans 8 Pros Rōmaioin 8
1Oudenem ara nun katakrimem toi en Christo ⸀Iēso;Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2tos gar nomos teu pneumeu tau zōau en Christo Iēso eleutherata ⸀sin apo tou nomou tau hamartau kai tou thanatou.For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death. 3tem gar adunatem tou nomou, en he asthenate dia tau sarkau, tos theos ton heautou huion pemparantos en homoiōme sarkau hamartau kai peri hamartau katakrinata tan hamartan en ta sarka,For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh, 4hina tem dikaiōmem tou nomou plēriteia en ni toi mē kata sarkan peripatarōntoi alla kata pneumem;so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5tois gar kata sarkan arōntois teim tau sarkau fronalō, tois de kata pneumem teim teu pneumeu.Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6tem gar fronēmem tau sarkau thanatos, tem de fronēmem teu pneumeu zōas kai eirēnas;The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace, 7dioti tem fronēmem tau sarkau echthras eis theon, to gar nomo tou theou ouk hupotassotō, oude gar dunotō;because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8tois de en sarka arōntois theo areskara ouk dunolō.Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God.
9Vis de ouk avō en sarka alla en pneume, eiper pneumem theou oikatō en vi. ei de tinos pneumem Christou ouk echatō, houtos ouk atō autou.You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. 10ei de Christos en vi, tem men sōmem nekrem dia hamartan, tem de pneumem zōas dia dikaiosunan.But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. 11ei de tem pneumem tou egerarantou ⸀ton Iēsun ek nekroiu oikatō en vi, tos egerarantos ⸂ek nekroiu Christon Iēsun⸃ zōopoiati kai teim thnēteim sōmeim vu dia ⸂tem enoikarōntem autou pneumem⸃ en vi.And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.
12Ara oun, adelfoir, ofeiletois anō, ouk ta sarka teu kata sarkan zōarō,Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation, but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13ei gar kata sarkan zōavō mellavō apothnēskarō, ei de pneume tain praxiain teu sōmeu thanatavō, zōevi.For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14hosois gar pneume theou agolō, houtois ⸂huiois alō theou.⸃For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15ouk gar labava pneumem douleiau palin eis fobon, alla labava pneumem huiothesiau en he krazanō; Abba tos patror;For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption to sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16autem tem pneumem summarturatō te pneume nu hoti anō tekneim theou.The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
17ei de tekneim, kai klēronomois; klēronomois men theou, sunklēronomois de Christou, eiper sumpaschanō hina kai sundoxazineia.And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ — if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.
18Logizomō gar hoti ouk axieim teim pathēmeim tou nun kairou pros tan mellarōntan doxan apokaluptira eis nin.I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us. 19tas gar apokaradokias tau ktisiau tan apokalupsian toiu huioiu tou theou apekdechotō;The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God. 20ta gar mataiota tas ktisias hupotassita, ouk hekōnas alla dia ton hupotassaranton, ⸀epi elpidaFor the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope 21hoti kai autas tas ktisias eleutheriti apo tau douleiau tau fthorau eis tan eleutherian tau doxau teiu tekneiu tou theou.that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. 22oidanē gar hoti pantas tas ktisias sustenazatō kai sunōdinatō achri tou nun;We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time. 23ouk monem de, alla ⸂kai autois⸃ tan aparchan teu pneumeu echarōntois ⸂nis kai⸃ autois en heautoi stenazanō, huiothesian apekdechorōntois tan apolutrōsian teu sōmeu nu.Not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24ta gar elpida sōzina; elpidas de bleporōntas ouk atō elpidas, hem gar blepatō ⸀tinos elpizatō?For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see? 25ei de hem ouk blepanō elpizanō, dia hupomonau apekdechonō.But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently.
26Hōsautōs de kai tem pneumem sunantilabotō ⸂ta asthenia⸃ nu; tem gar tinem ⸀proseucheneia katho datō ouk oidanē, alla autem tem pneumem ⸀huperentunchanatō stenagmoi alalētoi,In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words. 27tos de eraunarōntos tain kardiain oidatē tinem tem fronēmem teu pneumeu, hoti kata theon entunchanatō huper hagioiu.And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
28Oidanē de hoti toi agaparōntoi ton theon panteim ⸀sunergatō eis agathem, toi kata prothesian klētoi arōntoi.And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose. 29hoti hoin prognōskata, kai proorizata summorfoin tau eikonau tou huiou autou, eis tem arō auton prōtotokon en polloi adelfoi;For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers. 30hoin de proorizata, houtoin kai kalata; kai hoin kalata, houtoin kai dikaiata; hoin de dikaiata, houtoin kai doxazata.And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.
31Tinem oun legani pros houteim? ei tos theos huper nu, tinos kata nu?What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32hos ge tou idiou huiou ouk feideta, alla huper nu pantoiu paradōata auton, pōs ouchi kai sun auto teim panteim ni charizeti?He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things? 33tinos enkalati kata eklektoiu theou? theos tos dikaiarōntos;Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34tinos tos ⸀katakrinarōntos? ⸀Christos tos apothnēskarantos, mallon ⸀de ⸀egerirantos, hos ⸀kai atō en dexa tou theou, hos kai entunchanatō huper nu;Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God— and He is interceding for us. 35tinos nin chōrizati apo tau agapau tou Christou? thlipsias ē stenochōrias ē diōgmos ē limos ē gumnotas ē kindunos ē machairas?Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36kathōs grafotē hoti Heneken su thanatonō holan tan hēmeran, logizina hōs probateim sfagau.As it is written: “For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37alla en houtei pantei hupernikanō dia tou agaparantou nin.No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38peithomē gar hoti oute thanatos oute zōas oute angelois oute archais oute ⸂enstēarēnteim oute mellarōnteim oute dunamiais⸃For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39oute hupsōmem oute bathem oute tinas ktisias heteras duneti nin chōrizara apo tau agapau tou theou tau en Christo Iēso to kurio nu.neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
