Romans 8
Darby Translation

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

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

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

7 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 and they that are in flesh cannot please God.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

39 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.

Romani 8
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română

Viaţa primită prin Duhul

8 Aşadar, acum nu mai este nici o condamnare pentru cei ce sunt în Cristos Isus (care nu trăiesc potrivit cu firea[a], ci potrivit cu Duhul)[b]. 2 Căci legea Duhului vieţii în Cristos Isus te-a[c] eliberat de legea păcatului şi a morţii. 3 Fiindcă ceea ce era cu neputinţă pentru Lege, întrucât era făcută neputincioasă de fire[d], Dumnezeu a înfăptuit trimiţând, din pricina păcatului, pe propriul Său Fiu, în asemănarea firii păcătoase, şi condamnând astfel păcatul în fire, 4 pentru ca cerinţa dreaptă a Legii să fie împlinită în noi, care nu trăim potrivit cu firea, ci potrivit cu Duhul. 5 Într-adevăr, cei ce trăiesc potrivit cu firea se gândesc la lucrurile firii, însă cei ce trăiesc potrivit cu Duhul se gândesc la lucrurile Duhului. 6 Căci preocuparea pentru fire este moarte, însă preocuparea pentru lucrurile Duhului este viaţă şi pace. 7 Şi aceasta, deoarece preocuparea pentru fire este duşmănie faţă de Dumnezeu, căci ea nu se supune Legii lui Dumnezeu şi nici nu poate s-o facă. 8 Deci cei ce sunt în fire nu-I pot fi plăcuţi lui Dumnezeu. 9 Voi însă nu mai sunteţi în fire, ci în Duhul, dacă într-adevăr Duhul lui Dumnezeu locuieşte în voi. Dar dacă cineva nu are Duhul lui Cristos, atunci nu este al Lui. 10 Dacă însă Cristos este în voi, trupul vostru este mort, din cauza păcatului, dar Duhul este viaţa voastră[e], datorită dreptăţii. 11 Şi dacă Duhul Celui Ce L-a înviat pe Isus din morţi locuieşte în voi, atunci Cel Ce L-a înviat pe Cristos din morţi le va da viaţă şi trupurilor voastre muritoare, prin Duhul Lui Care locuieşte în voi.

12 Deci, fraţilor, noi nu suntem datori faţă de fire, ca să trăim potrivit ei! 13 Pentru că, dacă trăiţi potrivit firii, veţi muri, dar dacă, prin Duhul, daţi morţii faptele trupului, veţi trăi! 14 Căci toţi care sunt călăuziţi de Duhul lui Dumnezeu sunt fii ai lui Dumnezeu. 15 Fiindcă voi n-aţi primit un duh de sclavie, ca să vă fie din nou teamă, ci aţi primit Duhul înfierii[f] prin care strigăm: „Abba!“[g], adică „Tată!“ 16 Duhul Însuşi depune mărturie, împreună cu duhul nostru, că suntem copii ai lui Dumnezeu. 17 Iar dacă suntem copii, suntem şi moştenitori – moştenitori ai lui Dumnezeu, moştenitori împreună cu Cristos, dacă suferim într-adevăr împreună cu El, ca să putem fi şi proslăviţi împreună cu El.

Slava care ne aşteaptă

18 Căci consider că suferinţele din vremea de acum nu sunt vrednice să fie puse alături de slava viitoare, care urmează să ne fie descoperită. 19 Chiar şi creaţia aşteaptă cu nerăbdare descoperirea fiilor lui Dumnezeu, 20 întrucât creaţia a fost supusă deşertăciunii, – nu pentru că a vrut ea, ci datorită Celui Ce a supus-o –, în nădejdea 21 că şi creaţia însăşi va fi eliberată din sclavia degradării şi adusă în libertatea glorioasă a copiilor lui Dumnezeu. 22 Noi ştim că, până acum, întreaga creaţie geme şi suferă durerile naşterii. 23 Şi nu numai ea, ci şi noi înşine, care avem primul rod[h], adică Duhul[i], gemem în noi înşine, aşteptând înfierea, răscumpărarea trupurilor noastre. 24 Căci în această nădejde am fost mântuiţi. Dar o nădejde care se vede nu mai este nădejde! Fiindcă, cine mai nădăjduieşte în ceea ce vede deja?! 25 Dacă însă nădăjduim în ceea ce nu vedem, atunci aşteptăm cu răbdare.

26 În acelaşi fel, Duhul ne ajută în slăbiciunea noastră, pentru că noi nu ştim cum ar trebui[j] să ne rugăm, ci Duhul Însuşi mijloceşte cu suspine nerostite[k]; 27 însă Cel Care cercetează inimile, cunoaşte care este gândirea Duhului, pentru că Acesta mijloceşte pentru sfinţi potrivit cu voia lui Dumnezeu.

Victorie deplină prin Cel Care ne-a iubit

28 Noi ştim că toate lucrează împreună[l] spre binele celor ce-L iubesc pe Dumnezeu, al celor ce sunt chemaţi în conformitate cu planul Său. 29 Căci pe cei pe care i-a cunoscut mai dinainte, El i-a şi hotărât mai dinainte să fie asemenea chipului Fiului Său, ca Acesta să fie primul născut dintre mai mulţi fraţi. 30 Şi pe aceia pe care i-a hotărât mai dinainte, i-a şi chemat; pe aceia pe care i-a chemat, i-a şi îndreptăţit; iar pe aceia pe care i-a îndreptăţit, i-a şi glorificat.

31 Ce vom spune deci despre aceste lucruri? Dacă Dumnezeu este pentru noi, cine va fi împotriva noastră?! 32 El, Care nu Şi-a cruţat propriul Său Fiu, ci L-a dat pentru noi toţi, cum nu ne va da, împreună cu El, toate lucrurile?! 33 Cine va aduce vreo acuzaţie împotriva aleşilor lui Dumnezeu? Dumnezeu este Cel Care-i îndreptăţeşte. 34 Cine este cel care-i va condamna? Cristos Isus, Cel Care a murit şi Care, mai mult decât atât, a fost înviat, este la dreapta lui Dumnezeu şi mijloceşte pentru noi. 35 Cine ne va despărţi de dragostea lui Cristos? Necazul, sau greutăţile, sau persecuţia, sau foametea, sau lipsa de îmbrăcăminte, sau pericolul, sau sabia? 36 Aşa cum este scris:

„Din pricina Ta suntem daţi morţii toată ziua,
    suntem consideraţi ca nişte oi pentru tăiere.“[m]

37 Însă, în toate aceste lucruri, noi avem victorie deplină prin Cel Care ne-a iubit. 38 Eu sunt convins că nici moartea, nici viaţa, nici îngerii, nici demonii[n] , nici lucrurile prezente, nici cele viitoare, nici puterile, 39 nici înălţimea, nici adâncimea, nici orice altceva din creaţie nu vor fi în stare să ne despartă de dragostea lui Dumnezeu, care este în Cristos Isus, Domnul nostru!

Romans 8
King James Version

8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

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

4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

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

11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

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

26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

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

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

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

32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

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

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

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

39 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.

Free from Indwelling Sin

8 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, (A)who[a] do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For (B)the law of (C)the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from (D)the law of sin and death. 3 For (E)what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, (F)God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who (G)do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For (H)those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, (I)the things of the Spirit. 6 For (J)to be [b]carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because (K)the [c]carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, (L)nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 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, he is not His. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of (M)Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, (N)He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies [d]through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Sonship Through the Spirit

12 (O)Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For (P)if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you (Q)put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For (R)as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For (S)you did not receive the spirit of bondage again (T)to fear, but you received the (U)Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, (V)“Abba,[e] Father.” 16 (W)The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then (X)heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, (Y)if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

From Suffering to Glory

18 For I consider that (Z)the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For (AA)the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For (AB)the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of [f]corruption into the glorious (AC)liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation (AD)groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have (AE)the firstfruits of the Spirit, (AF)even we ourselves groan (AG)within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the (AH)redemption of our body. 24 For we were saved in this hope, but (AI)hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For (AJ)we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but (AK)the Spirit Himself makes intercession [g]for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now (AL)He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints (AM)according to the will of God.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those (AN)who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom (AO)He foreknew, (AP)He also predestined (AQ)to be conformed to the image of His Son, (AR)that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also (AS)called; whom He called, these He also (AT)justified; and whom He justified, these He also (AU)glorified.

God’s Everlasting Love

31 What then shall we say to these things? (AV)If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 (AW)He who did not spare His own Son, but (AX)delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? (AY)It is God who justifies. 34 (AZ)Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, (BA)who is even at the right hand of God, (BB)who also makes intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written:

(BC)“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

37 (BD)Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor (BE)principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Life Through the Spirit

8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation(A) for those who are in Christ Jesus,(B) 2 because through Christ Jesus(C) the law of the Spirit who gives life(D) has set you[a] free(E) from the law of sin(F) and death. 3 For what the law was powerless(G) to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[b](H) God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh(I) to be a sin offering.[c](J) And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement(K) of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.(L)

5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires;(M) but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.(N) 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death,(O) but the mind governed by the Spirit is life(P) and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God;(Q) it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh(R) cannot please God.

9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh(S) but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you.(T) And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,(U) they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you,(V) then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[d] because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead(W) is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies(X) because of[e] his Spirit who lives in you.

12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.(Y) 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die;(Z) but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body,(AA) you will live.(AB)

14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God(AC) are the children of God.(AD) 15 The Spirit(AE) you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again;(AF) rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[f] And by him we cry, “Abba,[g] Father.”(AG) 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit(AH) that we are God’s children.(AI) 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs(AJ)—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings(AK) in order that we may also share in his glory.(AL)

Present Suffering and Future Glory

18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.(AM) 19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God(AN) to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it,(AO) in hope 21 that[h] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay(AP) and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.(AQ)

22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning(AR) as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit,(AS) groan(AT) inwardly as we wait eagerly(AU) for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.(AV) 24 For in this hope we were saved.(AW) But hope that is seen is no hope at all.(AX) Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.(AY)

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit(AZ) himself intercedes for us(BA) through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts(BB) knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes(BC) for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good(BD) of those who love him, who[i] have been called(BE) according to his purpose.(BF) 29 For those God foreknew(BG) he also predestined(BH) to be conformed to the image of his Son,(BI) that he might be the firstborn(BJ) among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined,(BK) he also called;(BL) those he called, he also justified;(BM) those he justified, he also glorified.(BN)

More Than Conquerors

31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things?(BO) If God is for us,(BP) who can be against us?(BQ) 32 He who did not spare his own Son,(BR) but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge(BS) against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns?(BT) No one. Christ Jesus who died(BU)—more than that, who was raised to life(BV)—is at the right hand of God(BW) and is also interceding for us.(BX) 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?(BY) Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?(BZ) 36 As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;
    we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[j](CA)

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors(CB) through him who loved us.(CC) 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[k] neither the present nor the future,(CD) nor any powers,(CE) 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God(CF) that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.(CG)
