ὁ γὰρ νόμος τοῦ πνεύματος τῆς ζωῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ ἠλευθέρωσέν σε ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου τῆς ἁμαρτίας καὶ τοῦ θανάτου.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.
τὸ γὰρ ἀδύνατον τοῦ νόμου, ἐν ᾧ ἠσθένει διὰ τῆς σαρκός, ὁ θεὸς τὸν ἑαυτοῦ υἱὸν πέμψας ἐν ὁμοιώματι σαρκὸς ἁμαρτίας καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας κατέκρινε τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ἐν τῇ σαρκί,
For what was impossible for the law, because it was weak through the flesh, God sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin condemned sin in the flesh,
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.
For those who are according to the flesh think about the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the spirit think about the things of the spirit.
For the mindset of the flesh is death, but the mindset of the spirit is life and peace.
For the mindset of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor indeed can it.
But those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐκ ἐστὲ ἐν σαρκὶ ἀλλὰ ἐν πνεύματι, εἴπερ πνεῦμα θεοῦ οἰκεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν. εἰ δέ τις πνεῦμα Χριστοῦ οὐκ ἔχει, οὗτος οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῦ.
But you are not in the flesh but in the spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this one does not belong to him.
But if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because of righteousness.
εἰ δὲ τὸ πνεῦμα τοῦ ἐγείραντος τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἐκ νεκρῶν οἰκεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν, ὁ ἐγείρας ἐκ νεκρῶν Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν ζῳοποιήσει καὶ τὰ θνητὰ σώματα ὑμῶν διὰ τὸ ἐνοικοῦν αὐτοῦ πνεῦμα ἐν ὑμῖν.
But if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit dwelling in you.
So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh to live according to the flesh,
εἰ γὰρ κατὰ σάρκα ζῆτε μέλλετε ἀποθνῄσκειν, εἰ δὲ πνεύματι τὰς πράξεις τοῦ σώματος θανατοῦτε, ζήσεσθε.
For if you live according to the flesh, you are about to die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
οὐ γὰρ ἐλάβετε πνεῦμα δουλείας πάλιν εἰς φόβον, ἀλλὰ ἐλάβετε πνεῦμα υἱοθεσίας ἐν ᾧ κράζομεν· Αββα ὁ πατήρ·
For you did not receive a spirit of slavery again to fear, but you received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, Abba, Father.
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God.
εἰ δὲ τέκνα, καὶ κληρονόμοι· κληρονόμοι μὲν θεοῦ, συγκληρονόμοι δὲ Χριστοῦ, εἴπερ συμπάσχομεν ἵνα καὶ συνδοξασθῶμεν.
Now if we are children, then we are also heirs; heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer together so that we may also be glorified together.
Λογίζομαι γὰρ ὅτι οὐκ ἄξια τὰ παθήματα τοῦ νῦν καιροῦ πρὸς τὴν μέλλουσαν δόξαν ἀποκαλυφθῆναι εἰς ἡμᾶς.
For I consider that the sufferings of the present age are not worthy to be compared with the future glory that will be revealed to us.
For the eager expectation of creation awaits the revealing of the sons of God.
For creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of the one who subjected it, in hope
ὅτι καὶ αὐτὴ ἡ κτίσις ἐλευθερωθήσεται ἀπὸ τῆς δουλείας τῆς φθορᾶς εἰς τὴν ἐλευθερίαν τῆς δόξης τῶν τέκνων τοῦ θεοῦ.
because even creation itself will be set free from the slavery of corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
For we know that all creation groans and suffers together until now.
οὐ μόνον δέ, ἀλλὰ καὶ αὐτοὶ τὴν ἀπαρχὴν τοῦ πνεύματος ἔχοντες ἡμεῖς καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐν ἑαυτοῖς στενάζομεν, υἱοθεσίαν ἀπεκδεχόμενοι τὴν ἀπολύτρωσιν τοῦ σώματος ἡμῶν.
Not only that, but we ourselves, having the firstfruits of the Spirit, also groan inwardly, waiting eagerly for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
For in hope we have been saved; but hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what he sees?
But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
Ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα συναντιλαμβάνεται τῇ ἀσθενείᾳ ἡμῶν· τὸ γὰρ τί προσευξώμεθα καθὸ δεῖ οὐκ οἴδαμεν, ἀλλὰ αὐτὸ τὸ πνεῦμα ὑπερεντυγχάνει στεναγμοῖς ἀλαλήτοις,
Likewise, the Spirit helps in our weakness; for we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words,
But the one who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the spirit is, because it intercedes according to God for the saints.
We know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
ὅτι οὓς προέγνω, καὶ προώρισεν συμμόρφους τῆς εἰκόνος τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν πρωτότοκον ἐν πολλοῖς ἀδελφοῖς·
For those whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
οὓς δὲ προώρισεν, τούτους καὶ ἐκάλεσεν· καὶ οὓς ἐκάλεσεν, τούτους καὶ ἐδικαίωσεν· οὓς δὲ ἐδικαίωσεν, τούτους καὶ ἐδόξασεν.
And those whom he predestined, he also called; and those whom he called, he also justified; and those whom he justified, he also glorified.
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
ὅς γε τοῦ ἰδίου υἱοῦ οὐκ ἐφείσατο, ἀλλὰ ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν πάντων παρέδωκεν αὐτόν, πῶς οὐχὶ καὶ σὺν αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα ἡμῖν χαρίσεται;
He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things
Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies.
τίς ὁ κατακρινῶν; Χριστὸς ὁ ἀποθανών, μᾶλλον δὲ ἐγερθείς, ὅς καί ἐστιν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ θεοῦ, ὃς καὶ ἐντυγχάνει ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν·
Who is the one condemning? Christ is the one who died, rather he was raised, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
τίς ἡμᾶς χωρίσει ἀπὸ τῆς ἀγάπης τοῦ Χριστοῦ; θλῖψις ἢ στενοχωρία ἢ διωγμὸς ἢ λιμὸς ἢ γυμνότης ἢ κίνδυνος ἢ μάχαιρα;
Who will separate us from the love of the Messiah? Trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
As it is written, For your sake we are being put to death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through the one who loved us.
πέπεισμαι γὰρ ὅτι οὔτε θάνατος οὔτε ζωὴ οὔτε ἄγγελοι οὔτε ἀρχαὶ οὔτε ἐνεστῶτα οὔτε μέλλοντα οὔτε δυνάμεις
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor present things nor future things, nor powers
οὔτε ὕψωμα οὔτε βάθος οὔτε τις κτίσις ἑτέρα δυνήσεται ἡμᾶς χωρίσαι ἀπὸ τῆς ἀγάπης τοῦ θεοῦ τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν.
Neither height nor depth nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
