¹² So ara then oun, brethren adelphos, we are eimi debtors opheiletēs, not ou to the ho flesh sarx, to live zaō according kata to the flesh sarx, ¹³ for gar if ei you live zaō according kata to the flesh sarx, you will certainly mellō die apothnēskō; but de if ei by the Spirit pneuma you put to death thanatoō the ho deeds praxis of the ho body sōma, you will live zaō. ¹⁴ For gar it is those hosos who are led agō by the Spirit pneuma of God theos who houtos are eimi the sons hyios of God theos. ¹⁵ For gar you did not ou receive lambanō the spirit pneuma of slavery douleia leading back palin to eis fear phobos, but alla you received lambanō the Spirit pneuma of adoption hyiothesia. By en him hos we cry out krazō, “ Abba abba! · ho Father patēr!” ¹⁶ The ho Spirit pneuma himself autos bears symmartyreō witness with · ho our hēmeis spirit pneuma that hoti we are eimi children teknon of God theos, ¹⁷ and de if ei children teknon, then kai heirs klēronomos, heirs klēronomos of God theos and de fellow heirs synklēronomos with Christ Christos, provided eiper we suffer sympaschō with him so hina that we may also kai be glorified syndoxazō with him.

¹⁸ For gar I consider logizomai that hoti the ho sufferings pathēma of this ho present nyn time kairos are not ou worth axios comparing with pros the ho glory doxa that will mellō be revealed apokalyptō to eis us hēmeis. ¹⁹ · ho For gar the ho creation ktisis eagerly apokaradokia waits apekdechomai for the ho revealing apokalypsis of the ho sons hyios of ho God theos. ²⁰ For gar the ho creation ktisis was subjected hypotassō to ho futility mataiotēs, not ou of its own choosing hekōn, but alla because dia of him ho who subjected hypotassō it, in epi hope elpis ²¹ that hoti · kai the ho creation ktisis itself autos will be set eleutheroō free from apo its ho bondage douleia to ho decay phthora into eis the ho glorious doxa freedom eleutheria · ho of the ho children teknon of ho God theos. ²² For gar we know oida that hoti the ho entire pas creation ktisis has been groaning systenazō and kai suffering synōdinō together up achri to the ho present nyn hour. ²³ And de not ou only monon this, but alla · kai we stenazō ourselves autos, who have echō the ho first aparchē fruits of the ho Spirit pneuma, groan stenazō inwardly en as we hēmeis · kai eagerly await apekdechomai our adoption hyiothesia, the ho redemption apolytrōsis of ho our hēmeis bodies sōma. ²⁴ For gar in this ho hope elpis we were saved sōzō. Now de hope elpis that is seen blepō is eimi not ou hope elpis, for gar who tis hopes for elpizō what hos he sees blepō? ²⁵ But de if ei we hope for elpizō what hos we do not ou see blepō, we wait for apekdechomai it with dia patience hypomonē.

²⁴ Jesus put paratithēmi another allos parable parabolē before paratithēmi them autos, saying legō: “ The ho kingdom basileia of ho heaven ouranos is like homoioō a man anthrōpos sowing speirō good kalos seed sperma in en · ho his autos field agros. ²⁵ But de while en · ho everyone anthrōpos was sleeping katheudō, · ho his autos enemy echthros came erchomai · ho and kai sowed epispeirō weeds zizanion among ana mesos the ho wheat sitos and kai went aperchomai away . ²⁶ When hote · de the ho plants chortos came blastanō up and kai bore poieō grain karpos, then tote the ho weeds zizanion appeared phainō as kai well . ²⁷ And de the ho servants of the ho master oikodespotēs of the house came proserchomai and said legō to him autos, ‘ Sir kyrios, did you speirō not ouchi sow speirō good kalos seed sperma in en · ho your sos field agros? Why pothen then oun does it have echō weeds zizanion?’ ²⁸ And de he ho said phēmi to them autos, ‘An enemy echthros has done poieō this houtos!’ And de the ho servants said legō to him autos, ‘ So oun do you want thelō us to go aperchomai and gather syllegō them autos?’ ²⁹ But de he ho replied phēmi, ‘ No ou, lest mēpote in gathering syllegō the ho weeds zizanion you uproot ekrizoō the ho wheat sitos along hama with them autos. ³⁰ Let aphiēmi both amphoteroi grow synauxanō together until heōs the ho harvest therismos; and kai at en harvest therismos time kairos · ho I will tell legō the ho harvesters theristēs, “ First prōton gather syllegō the ho weeds zizanion and kai bind deō them autos into eis bundles desmē to pros · ho be burned katakaiō, then de gather synagō the ho wheat sitos into eis · ho my egō barn apothēkē.”’”

³⁶ Then tote he left aphiēmi the ho crowds ochlos and went erchomai into eis the ho house oikia. And kai his autos disciples mathētēs came proserchomai to him autos, · ho saying legō, “ Explain diasapheō to us hēmeis the ho parable parabolē of the ho weeds zizanion in the ho field agros.” ³⁷ And de he ho answered apokrinomai, saying legō, “ The ho one who sows speirō the ho good kalos seed sperma is eimi the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos; ³⁸ and de the ho field agros is eimi the ho world kosmos; and de as for the ho good kalos seed sperma, these houtos are eimi the ho sons hyios of the ho kingdom basileia; and de the ho weeds zizanion are eimi the ho sons hyios of the ho evil ponēros one ; ³⁹ and de the ho enemy echthros who ho sowed speirō them autos is eimi the ho devil diabolos; and de the ho harvest therismos is eimi the end synteleia of the age aiōn; and de the ho harvesters theristēs are eimi the angels angelos. ⁴⁰ Therefore oun just hōsper as the ho weeds zizanion are gathered syllegō and kai burned katakaiō in the fire pyr, so houtōs it will be eimi at en the ho end synteleia of the ho age aiōn. ⁴¹ The ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos will send apostellō · ho his autos angels angelos, and kai they will gather syllegō out ek of ho his autos kingdom basileia everything pas that ho causes skandalon sin and kai those ho who break poieō his ho laws anomia. ⁴² And kai they will throw ballō them autos into eis the ho fiery pyr furnace kaminos, · ho where ekei there will be eimi · ho weeping klauthmos and kai · ho gnashing brygmos of ho teeth odous. ⁴³ Then tote the ho righteous dikaios will shine eklampō like hōs the ho sun hēlios in en the ho kingdom basileia of ho their autos Father patēr. He ho who has echō ears ous, let him hear akouō!
