Romans 8

GNT

1 οὐδὲν ἄρα νῦν κατάκριμα τοῖς ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ·

2 ὁ γὰρ νόμος τοῦ πνεύματος τῆς ζωῆς ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ ἠλευθέρωσέν σε ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου τῆς ἁμαρτίας καὶ τοῦ θανάτου.

3 τὸ γὰρ ἀδύνατον τοῦ νόμου, ἐν ᾧ ἠσθένει διὰ τῆς σαρκός, ὁ θεὸς τὸν ἑαυτοῦ υἱὸν πέμψας ἐν ὁμοιώματι σαρκὸς ἁμαρτίας καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας κατέκρινεν τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ἐν τῇ σαρκί,

4 ἵνα τὸ δικαίωμα τοῦ νόμου πληρωθῇ ἐν ἡμῖν τοῖς μὴ κατὰ σάρκα περιπατοῦσιν ἀλλὰ κατὰ πνεῦμα.

5 οἱ γὰρ κατὰ σάρκα ὄντες τὰ τῆς σαρκὸς φρονοῦσιν, οἱ δὲ κατὰ πνεῦμα τὰ τοῦ πνεύματος.

6 τὸ γὰρ φρόνημα τῆς σαρκὸς θάνατος, τὸ δὲ φρόνημα τοῦ πνεύματος ζωὴ καὶ εἰρήνη·

7 διότι τὸ φρόνημα τῆς σαρκὸς ἔχθρα εἰς θεόν, τῶ γὰρ νόμῳ τοῦ θεοῦ οὐχ ὑποτάσσεται, οὐδὲ γὰρ δύναται·

8 οἱ δὲ ἐν σαρκὶ ὄντες θεῶ ἀρέσαι οὐ δύνανται.

9 ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐκ ἐστὲ ἐν σαρκὶ ἀλλὰ ἐν πνεύματι, εἴπερ πνεῦμα θεοῦ οἰκεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν. εἰ δέ τις πνεῦμα χριστοῦ οὐκ ἔχει, οὖτος οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῦ.

10 εἰ δὲ χριστὸς ἐν ὑμῖν, τὸ μὲν σῶμα νεκρὸν διὰ ἁμαρτίαν, τὸ δὲ πνεῦμα ζωὴ διὰ δικαιοσύνην.

11 εἰ δὲ τὸ πνεῦμα τοῦ ἐγείραντος τὸν ἰησοῦν ἐκ νεκρῶν οἰκεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν, ὁ ἐγείρας χριστὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν ζῳοποιήσει καὶ τὰ θνητὰ σώματα ὑμῶν διὰ τοῦ ἐνοικοῦντος αὐτοῦ πνεύματος ἐν ὑμῖν.

12 ἄρα οὗν, ἀδελφοί, ὀφειλέται ἐσμέν, οὐ τῇ σαρκὶ τοῦ κατὰ σάρκα ζῆν·

13 εἰ γὰρ κατὰ σάρκα ζῆτε μέλλετε ἀποθνῄσκειν, εἰ δὲ πνεύματι τὰς πράξεις τοῦ σώματος θανατοῦτε ζήσεσθε.

14 ὅσοι γὰρ πνεύματι θεοῦ ἄγονται, οὖτοι υἱοὶ θεοῦ εἰσιν.

15 οὐ γὰρ ἐλάβετε πνεῦμα δουλείας πάλιν εἰς φόβον, ἀλλὰ ἐλάβετε πνεῦμα υἱοθεσίας, ἐν ᾧ κράζομεν, αββα ὁ πατήρ·

16 αὐτὸ τὸ πνεῦμα συμμαρτυρεῖ τῶ πνεύματι ἡμῶν ὅτι ἐσμὲν τέκνα θεοῦ.

17 εἰ δὲ τέκνα, καὶ κληρονόμοι· κληρονόμοι μὲν θεοῦ, συγκληρονόμοι δὲ χριστοῦ, εἴπερ συμπάσχομεν ἵνα καὶ συνδοξασθῶμεν.

18 λογίζομαι γὰρ ὅτι οὐκ ἄξια τὰ παθήματα τοῦ νῦν καιροῦ πρὸς τὴν μέλλουσαν δόξαν ἀποκαλυφθῆναι εἰς ἡμᾶς.

19 ἡ γὰρ ἀποκαραδοκία τῆς κτίσεως τὴν ἀποκάλυψιν τῶν υἱῶν τοῦ θεοῦ ἀπεκδέχεται·

20 τῇ γὰρ ματαιότητι ἡ κτίσις ὑπετάγη, οὐχ ἑκοῦσα ἀλλὰ διὰ τὸν ὑποτάξαντα, ἐφ᾽ ἑλπίδι

21 ὅτι καὶ αὐτὴ ἡ κτίσις ἐλευθερωθήσεται ἀπὸ τῆς δουλείας τῆς φθορᾶς εἰς τὴν ἐλευθερίαν τῆς δόξης τῶν τέκνων τοῦ θεοῦ.

22 οἴδαμεν γὰρ ὅτι πᾶσα ἡ κτίσις συστενάζει καὶ συνωδίνει ἄχρι τοῦ νῦν·

23 οὐ μόνον δέ, ἀλλὰ καὶ αὐτοὶ τὴν ἀπαρχὴν τοῦ πνεύματος ἔχοντες ἡμεῖς καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐν ἑαυτοῖς στενάζομεν υἱοθεσίαν ἀπεκδεχόμενοι, τὴν ἀπολύτρωσιν τοῦ σώματος ἡμῶν.

24 τῇ γὰρ ἐλπίδι ἐσώθημεν· ἐλπὶς δὲ βλεπομένη οὐκ ἔστιν ἐλπίς· ὃ γὰρ βλέπει τίς ἐλπίζει;

25 εἰ δὲ ὃ οὐ βλέπομεν ἐλπίζομεν, δι᾽ ὑπομονῆς ἀπεκδεχόμεθα.

26 ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα συναντιλαμβάνεται τῇ ἀσθενείᾳ ἡμῶν· τὸ γὰρ τί προσευξώμεθα καθὸ δεῖ οὐκ οἴδαμεν, ἀλλὰ αὐτὸ τὸ πνεῦμα ὑπερεντυγχάνει στεναγμοῖς ἀλαλήτοις·

27 ὁ δὲ ἐραυνῶν τὰς καρδίας οἶδεν τί τὸ φρόνημα τοῦ πνεύματος, ὅτι κατὰ θεὸν ἐντυγχάνει ὑπὲρ ἁγίων.

28 οἴδαμεν δὲ ὅτι τοῖς ἀγαπῶσιν τὸν θεὸν πάντα συνεργεῖ εἰς ἀγαθόν, τοῖς κατὰ πρόθεσιν κλητοῖς οὗσιν.

29 ὅτι οὓς προέγνω, καὶ προώρισεν συμμόρφους τῆς εἰκόνος τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν πρωτότοκον ἐν πολλοῖς ἀδελφοῖς·

30 οὓς δὲ προώρισεν, τούτους καὶ ἐκάλεσεν· καὶ οὓς ἐκάλεσεν, τούτους καὶ ἐδικαίωσεν· οὓς δὲ ἐδικαίωσεν, τούτους καὶ ἐδόξασεν.

31 τί οὗν ἐροῦμεν πρὸς ταῦτα; εἰ ὁ θεὸς ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, τίς καθ᾽ ἡμῶν;

32 ὅς γε τοῦ ἰδίου υἱοῦ οὐκ ἐφείσατο, ἀλλὰ ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν πάντων παρέδωκεν αὐτόν, πῶς οὐχὶ καὶ σὺν αὐτῶ τὰ πάντα ἡμῖν χαρίσεται;

33 τίς ἐγκαλέσει κατὰ ἐκλεκτῶν θεοῦ; θεὸς ὁ δικαιῶν·

34 τίς ὁ κατακρινῶν; χριστὸς [ἰησοῦς] ὁ ἀποθανών, μᾶλλον δὲ ἐγερθείς, ὃς καί ἐστιν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ θεοῦ, ὃς καὶ ἐντυγχάνει ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν.

35 τίς ἡμᾶς χωρίσει ἀπὸ τῆς ἀγάπης τοῦ χριστοῦ; θλῖψις ἢ στενοχωρία ἢ διωγμὸς ἢ λιμὸς ἢ γυμνότης ἢ κίνδυνος ἢ μάχαιρα;

36 καθὼς γέγραπται ὅτι ἕνεκεν σοῦ θανατούμεθα ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν, ἐλογίσθημεν ὡς πρόβατα σφαγῆς.

37 ἀλλ᾽ ἐν τούτοις πᾶσιν ὑπερνικῶμεν διὰ τοῦ ἀγαπήσαντος ἡμᾶς.

38 πέπεισμαι γὰρ ὅτι οὔτε θάνατος οὔτε ζωὴ οὔτε ἄγγελοι οὔτε ἀρχαὶ οὔτε ἐνεστῶτα οὔτε μέλλοντα οὔτε δυνάμεις

39 οὔτε ὕψωμα οὔτε βάθος οὔτε τις κτίσις ἑτέρα δυνήσεται ἡμᾶς χωρίσαι ἀπὸ τῆς ἀγάπης τοῦ θεοῦ τῆς ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ τῶ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν.

1  There is therefore⁶⁸⁶ now³⁵⁶⁸ no³⁷⁶² condemnation²⁶³¹ to them³⁵⁸⁸ which are in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus,²⁴²⁴ who walk⁴⁰⁴³ not³³⁶¹ after²⁵⁹⁶ the flesh,⁴⁵⁶¹ but²³⁵ after²⁵⁹⁶ the Spirit.⁴¹⁵¹

2  For¹⁰⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ of life²²²² in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus²⁴²⁴ hath made me free^{1659 3165} from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ of sin²⁶⁶ and²⁵³² death.²²⁸⁸

3  For¹⁰⁶³ what the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ could not do,¹⁰² in¹⁷²² that³⁷³⁹ it was weak⁷⁷⁰ through¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ flesh,⁴⁵⁶¹ God²³¹⁶ sending³⁹⁹² his own¹⁴³⁸ Son⁵²⁰⁷ in¹⁷²² the likeness³⁶⁶⁷ of sinful²⁶⁶ flesh,⁴⁵⁶¹ and²⁵³² for⁴⁰¹² sin,²⁶⁶ condemned²⁶³² sin²⁶⁶ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ flesh:⁴⁵⁶¹

4  That²⁴⁴³ the³⁵⁸⁸ righteousness¹³⁴⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ might be fulfilled⁴¹³⁷ in¹⁷²² us,²²⁵⁴ who walk⁴⁰⁴³ not³³⁶¹ after²⁵⁹⁶ the flesh,⁴⁵⁶¹ but²³⁵ after²⁵⁹⁶ the Spirit.⁴¹⁵¹

5  For¹⁰⁶³ they that are⁵⁶⁰⁷ after²⁵⁹⁶ the flesh⁴⁵⁶¹ do mind⁵⁴²⁶ the things³⁵⁸⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ flesh;⁴⁵⁶¹ but¹¹⁶¹ they³⁵⁸⁸ that are after²⁵⁹⁶ the Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ the things³⁵⁸⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit.⁴¹⁵¹

6  For¹⁰⁶³ to be carnally⁴⁵⁶¹ minded⁵⁴²⁷ is death;²²⁸⁸ but¹¹⁶¹ to be spiritually⁴¹⁵¹ minded⁵⁴²⁷ is life²²²² and²⁵³² peace.¹⁵¹⁵

7  Because¹³⁶⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ carnal⁴⁵⁶¹ mind⁵⁴²⁷ is enmity²¹⁸⁹ against¹⁵¹⁹ God:²³¹⁶ for¹⁰⁶³ it is not subject^{5293 3756} to the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ of God,²³¹⁶ neither³⁷⁶¹ indeed¹⁰⁶³ can¹⁴¹⁰ be.

8  So¹¹⁶¹ then they that are⁵⁶⁰⁷ in¹⁷²² the flesh⁴⁵⁶¹ cannot^{1410 3756} please⁷⁰⁰ God.²³¹⁶

9  But¹¹⁶¹ ye⁵²¹⁰ are²⁰⁷⁵ not³⁷⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² the flesh,⁴⁵⁶¹ but²³⁵ in¹⁷²² the Spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ if so be that¹⁵¹² the Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ of God²³¹⁶ dwell³⁶¹¹ in¹⁷²² you.⁵²¹³ Now¹¹⁶¹ if any man¹⁵³⁶ have²¹⁹² not³⁷⁵⁶ the Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ of Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ he³⁷⁷⁸ is²⁰⁷⁶ none³⁷⁵⁶ of his.⁸⁴⁸

10  And¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ be in¹⁷²² you,⁵²¹³ the³⁵⁸⁸ body⁴⁹⁸³ is³³⁰³ dead³⁴⁹⁸ because¹²²³ of sin;²⁶⁶ but¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ is life²²²² because¹²²³ of righteousness.¹³⁴³

11  But¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ of him that raised up¹⁴⁵³ Jesus²⁴²⁴ from¹⁵³⁷ the dead³⁴⁹⁸ dwell³⁶¹¹ in¹⁷²² you,⁵²¹³ he that raised up¹⁴⁵³ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ from¹⁵³⁷ the dead³⁴⁹⁸ shall also²⁵³² quicken²²²⁷ your⁵²¹⁶ mortal²³⁴⁹ bodies⁴⁹⁸³ by¹²²³ his⁸⁴⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ that dwelleth¹⁷⁷⁴ in¹⁷²² you.⁵²¹³

12  Therefore,^{686 3767} brethren,⁸⁰ we are²⁰⁷⁰ debtors,³⁷⁸¹ not³⁷⁵⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ flesh,⁴⁵⁶¹ to live²¹⁹⁸ after²⁵⁹⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ flesh.⁴⁵⁶¹

13  For¹⁰⁶³ if¹⁴⁸⁷ ye live²¹⁹⁸ after²⁵⁹⁶ the flesh,⁴⁵⁶¹ ye shall³¹⁹⁵ die:⁵⁹⁹ but¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ ye through the Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ do mortify²²⁸⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ deeds⁴²³⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ body,⁴⁹⁸³ ye shall live.²¹⁹⁸

14  For¹⁰⁶³ as many as³⁷⁴⁵ are led⁷¹ by the Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ of God,²³¹⁶ they³⁷⁷⁸ are¹⁵²⁶ the sons⁵²⁰⁷ of God.²³¹⁶

15  For¹⁰⁶³ ye have not³⁷⁵⁶ received²⁹⁸³ the spirit⁴¹⁵¹ of bondage¹³⁹⁷ again³⁸²⁵ to¹⁵¹⁹ fear;⁵⁴⁰¹ but²³⁵ ye have received²⁹⁸³ the Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ of adoption,⁵²⁰⁶ whereby^{1722 3739} we cry,²⁸⁹⁶ Abba,⁵ Father.³⁹⁶²

16  The³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ itself⁸⁴⁶ beareth witness with⁴⁸²⁸ our²²⁵⁷ spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ we are²⁰⁷⁰ the children⁵⁰⁴³ of God:²³¹⁶

17  And¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ children,⁵⁰⁴³ then²⁵³² heirs;²⁸¹⁸ heirs²⁸¹⁸ of³³⁰³ God,²³¹⁶ and¹¹⁶¹ joint-heirs⁴⁷⁸⁹ with Christ;⁵⁵⁴⁷ if so be that¹⁵¹² we suffer with⁴⁸⁴¹ him, that²⁴⁴³ we may be also²⁵³² glorified together.⁴⁸⁸⁸

18  For¹⁰⁶³ I reckon³⁰⁴⁹ that³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ sufferings³⁸⁰⁴ of this present³⁵⁶⁸ time²⁵⁴⁰ are not³⁷⁵⁶ worthy⁵¹⁴ to be compared with⁴³¹⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ glory¹³⁹¹ which shall³¹⁹⁵ be revealed⁶⁰¹ in¹⁵¹⁹ us.²²⁴⁸

19  For¹⁰⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ earnest expectation⁶⁰³ of the³⁵⁸⁸ creature²⁹³⁷ waiteth for⁵⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ manifestation⁶⁰² of the³⁵⁸⁸ sons⁵²⁰⁷ of God.²³¹⁶

20  For¹⁰⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ creature²⁹³⁷ was made subject⁵²⁹³ to vanity,³¹⁵³ not³⁷⁵⁶ willingly,¹⁶³⁵ but²³⁵ by reason of¹²²³ him who hath subjected⁵²⁹³ the same in¹⁹⁰⁹ hope,¹⁶⁸⁰

21  Because³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ creature²⁹³⁷ itself⁸⁴⁸ also²⁵³² shall be delivered¹⁶⁵⁹ from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ bondage¹³⁹⁷ of corruption⁵³⁵⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ glorious¹³⁹¹ liberty¹⁶⁵⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ children⁵⁰⁴³ of God.²³¹⁶

22  For¹⁰⁶³ we know¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ the whole³⁹⁵⁶ creation²⁹³⁷ groaneth⁴⁹⁵⁹ and²⁵³² travaileth in pain together⁴⁹⁴⁴ until⁸⁹¹ now.³⁵⁶⁸

23  And¹¹⁶¹ not³⁷⁵⁶ only³⁴⁴⁰ they, but²³⁵ ourselves⁸⁴⁸ also,²⁵³² which have²¹⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ firstfruits⁵³⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ even²⁵³² we²²⁴⁹ ourselves⁸⁴⁸ groan⁴⁷²⁷ within¹⁷²² ourselves,¹⁴³⁸ waiting for⁵⁵³ the adoption,⁵²⁰⁶ to wit, the³⁵⁸⁸ redemption⁶²⁹ of our²²⁵⁷ body.⁴⁹⁸³

24  For¹⁰⁶³ we are saved⁴⁹⁸² by hope:¹⁶⁸⁰ but¹¹⁶¹ hope¹⁶⁸⁰ that is seen⁹⁹¹ is²⁰⁷⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ hope:¹⁶⁸⁰ for¹⁰⁶³ what³⁷³⁹ a man⁵¹⁰⁰ seeth,⁹⁹¹ why⁵¹⁰¹ doth he yet²⁵³² hope for?¹⁶⁷⁹

25  But¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ we hope for¹⁶⁷⁹ that³⁷³⁹ we see⁹⁹¹ not,³⁷⁵⁶ then do we with¹²²³ patience⁵²⁸¹ wait for⁵⁵³ it.

26  ¹¹⁶¹ Likewise⁵⁶¹⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ also²⁵³² helpeth⁴⁸⁷⁸ our²²⁵⁷ infirmities:⁷⁶⁹ for¹⁰⁶³ we know¹⁴⁹² not³⁷⁵⁶ what⁵¹⁰¹ we should pray for⁴³³⁶ as²⁵²⁶ we ought:¹¹⁶³ but²³⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ itself⁸⁴⁸ maketh intercession⁵²⁴¹ for⁵²²⁸ us²²⁵⁷ with groanings⁴⁷²⁶ which cannot be uttered.²¹⁵

27  And¹¹⁶¹ he that searcheth²⁰⁴⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ hearts²⁵⁸⁸ knoweth¹⁴⁹² what⁵¹⁰¹ is the³⁵⁸⁸ mind⁵⁴²⁷ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ because³⁷⁵⁴ he maketh intercession¹⁷⁹³ for⁵²²⁸ the saints⁴⁰ according²⁵⁹⁶ to the will of God.²³¹⁶

28  And¹¹⁶¹ we know¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ all things³⁹⁵⁶ work together⁴⁹⁰³ for¹⁵¹⁹ good¹⁸ to them that love²⁵ God,²³¹⁶ to them who are⁵⁶⁰⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ called²⁸²² according²⁵⁹⁶ to his purpose.⁴²⁸⁶

29  For³⁷⁵⁴ whom³⁷³⁹ he did foreknow,⁴²⁶⁷ he also²⁵³² did predestinate⁴³⁰⁹ to be conformed to⁴⁸³² the³⁵⁸⁸ image¹⁵⁰⁴ of his⁸⁴⁸ Son,⁵²⁰⁷ that he⁸⁴⁶ might be¹⁵¹¹ the firstborn⁴⁴¹⁶ among¹⁷²² many⁴¹⁸³ brethren.⁸⁰

30  Moreover¹¹⁶¹ whom³⁷³⁹ he did predestinate,⁴³⁰⁹ them⁵¹²⁸ he also²⁵³² called:²⁵⁶⁴ and²⁵³² whom³⁷³⁹ he called,²⁵⁶⁴ them⁵¹²⁸ he also²⁵³² justified:¹³⁴⁴ and¹¹⁶¹ whom³⁷³⁹ he justified,¹³⁴⁴ them⁵¹²⁸ he also²⁵³² glorified.¹³⁹²

31  What⁵¹⁰¹ shall we then³⁷⁶⁷ say²⁰⁴⁶ to⁴³¹⁴ these⁵⁰²³ things? If¹⁴⁸⁷ God²³¹⁶ be for⁵²²⁸ us,²²⁵⁷ who⁵¹⁰¹ can be against²⁵⁹⁶ us?²²⁵⁷

32  He that^{3739 1065} spared⁵³³⁹ not³⁷⁵⁶ his own²³⁹⁸ Son,⁵²⁰⁷ but²³⁵ delivered him up^{3860 846} for⁵²²⁸ us²²⁵⁷ all,³⁹⁵⁶ how⁴⁴⁵⁹ shall he not³⁷⁸⁰ with⁴⁸⁶² him⁸⁴⁶ also²⁵³² freely give⁵⁴⁸³ us²²⁵⁴ all things?³⁹⁵⁶

33  Who⁵¹⁰¹ shall lay any thing to the charge^{1458 2596} of God's²³¹⁶ elect?¹⁵⁸⁸ It is God²³¹⁶ that justifieth.¹³⁴⁴

34  Who⁵¹⁰¹ is he that condemneth?²⁶³² It is Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ that died,⁵⁹⁹ yea¹¹⁶¹ rather,³¹²³ that²⁵³² is risen again,¹⁴⁵³ who³⁷³⁹ is²⁰⁷⁶ even²⁵³² at¹⁷²² the right hand¹¹⁸⁸ of God,²³¹⁶ who³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² maketh intercession¹⁷⁹³ for⁵²²⁸ us.²²⁵⁷

35  Who⁵¹⁰¹ shall separate⁵⁵⁶³ us²²⁴⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ love²⁶ of Christ?⁵⁵⁴⁷ shall tribulation,²³⁴⁷ or²²²⁸ distress,⁴⁷³⁰ or²²²⁸ persecution,¹³⁷⁵ or²²²⁸ famine,³⁰⁴² or²²²⁸ nakedness,¹¹³² or²²²⁸ peril,²⁷⁹⁴ or²²²⁸ sword?³¹⁶²

36  As²⁵³¹ it is written,¹¹²⁵ For thy sake^{1752 4675} we are killed²²⁸⁹ all³⁶⁵⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ day²²⁵⁰ long; we are accounted³⁰⁴⁹ as⁵⁶¹³ sheep⁴²⁶³ for the slaughter.⁴⁹⁶⁷

37  Nay,²³⁵ in¹⁷²² all³⁹⁵⁶ these things⁵¹²⁵ we are more than conquerors⁵²⁴⁵ through¹²²³ him that loved²⁵ us.²²⁴⁸

38  For¹⁰⁶³ I am persuaded,³⁹⁸² that³⁷⁵⁴ neither³⁷⁷⁷ death,²²⁸⁸ nor³⁷⁷⁷ life,²²²² nor³⁷⁷⁷ angels,³² nor³⁷⁷⁷ principalities,⁷⁴⁶ nor³⁷⁷⁷ powers,¹⁴¹¹ nor³⁷⁷⁷ things present,¹⁷⁶⁴ nor³⁷⁷⁷ things to come,³¹⁹⁵

39  Nor³⁷⁷⁷ height,⁵³¹³ nor³⁷⁷⁷ depth,⁸⁹⁹ nor³⁷⁷⁷ any⁵¹⁰⁰ other²⁰⁸⁷ creature,²⁹³⁷ shall be able¹⁴¹⁰ to separate⁵⁵⁶³ us²²⁴⁸ from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ love²⁶ of God,²³¹⁶ which³⁵⁸⁸ is in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus²⁴²⁴ our²²⁵⁷ Lord.²⁹⁶²

Vul

1 Nihil ergo nunc damnationis est iis qui sunt in Christo Jesu: qui non secundum carnem ambulant.

2 Lex enim spiritus vitæ in Christo Jesu liberavit me a lege peccati et mortis.

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,

4 et justificatio legis impleretur in nobis, qui non secundum carnem ambulamus, sed secundum spiritum.

5 Qui enim secundum carnem sunt, quæ carnis sunt, sapiunt: qui vero secundum spiritum sunt, quæ sunt spiritus, sentiunt.

6 Nam prudentia carnis, mors est: prudentia autem spiritus, vita et pax:

7 quoniam sapientia carnis inimica est Deo: legi enim Dei non est subjecta, nec enim potest.

8 Qui autem in carne sunt, Deo placere non possunt.

9 Vos autem in carne non estis, sed in spiritu: si tamen Spiritus Dei habitat in vobis. Si quis autem Spiritum Christi non habet, hic non est ejus.

10 Si autem Christus in vobis est, corpus quidem mortuum est propter peccatum, spiritus vero vivit propter justificationem.

11 Quod si Spiritus ejus, qui suscitavit Jesum a mortuis, habitat in vobis: qui suscitavit Jesum Christum a mortuis, vivificabit et mortalia corpora vestra, propter inhabitantem Spiritum ejus in vobis.

12 Ergo fratres, debitores sumus non carni, ut secundum carnem vivamus.

13 Si enim secundum carnem vixeritis, moriemini: si autem spiritu facta carnis mortificaveritis, vivetis.

14 Quicumque enim Spiritu Dei aguntur, ii sunt filii Dei.

15 Non enim accepistis spiritum servitutis iterum in timore, sed accepistis spiritum adoptionis filiorum, in quo clamamus: Abba (Pater).

16 Ipse enim Spiritus testimonium reddit spiritui nostro quod sumus filii Dei.

17 Si autem filii, et hæredes: hæredes, quidem Dei, cohæredes autem Christi: si tamen compatimur ut et conglorificemur.

18 Existimo enim quod non sunt condignæ passiones hujus temporis ad futuram gloriam, quæ revelabitur in nobis.

19 Nam exspectatio creaturæ revelationem filiorum Dei exspectat.

20 Vanitati enim creatura subjecta est non volens, sed propter eum, qui subjecit eam in spe:

21 quia et ipsa creatura liberabitur a servitute corruptionis in libertatem gloriæ filiorum Dei.

22 Scimus enim quod omnis creatura ingemiscit, et parturit usque adhuc.

23 Non solum autem illa, sed et nos ipsi primitias spiritus habentes: et ipsi intra nos gemimus adoptionem filiorum Dei exspectantes, redemptionem corporis nostri.

24 Spe enim salvi facti sumus. Spes autem, quæ videtur, non est spes: nam quod videt quis, quid sperat?

25 Si autem quod non videmus, speramus: per patientiam exspectamus.

26 Similiter autem et Spiritus adjuvat infirmitatem nostram: nam quid oremus, sicut oportet, nescimus: sed ipse Spiritus postulat pro nobis gemitibus inenarrabilibus.

27 Qui autem scrutatur corda, scit quid desideret Spiritus: quia secundum Deum postulat pro sanctis.

28 Scimus autem quoniam diligentibus Deum omnia cooperantur in bonum, iis qui secundum propositum vocati sunt sancti.

29 Nam quos præscivit, et prædestinavit conformes fieri imaginis Filii sui, ut sit ipse primogenitus in multis fratribus.

30 Quos autem prædestinavit, hos et vocavit: et quos vocavit, hos et justificavit: quos autem justificavit, illos et glorificavit.

31 Quid ergo dicemus ad hæc? si Deus pro nobis, qui contra nos?

32 Qui etiam proprio Filio suo non pepercit, sed pro nobis omnibus tradidit illum: quomodo non etiam cum illo omnia nobis donavit?

33 Quis accusabit adversus electos Dei? Deus qui justificat,

34 quis est qui condemnet? Christus Jesus, qui mortuus est, immo qui et resurrexit, qui est ad dexteram Dei, qui etiam interpellat pro nobis.

35 Quis ergo nos separabit a caritate Christi? tribulatio? an angustia? an fames? an nuditas? an periculum? an persecutio? an gladius?

36 (Sicut scriptum est: [Quia propter te mortificamur tota die:
æstimati sumus sicut oves occisionis.)]

37 Sed in his omnibus superamus propter eum qui dilexit nos.

38 Certus sum enim quia neque mors, neque vita, neque angeli, neque principatus, neque virtutes, neque instantia, neque futura, neque fortitudo,

39 neque altitudo, neque profundum, neque creatura alia poterit nos separare a caritate Dei, quæ est in Christo Jesu Domino nostro.
