Romans 8

Authored by: American Standard Version
8:1
Ουδεν αρα νυν κατακριμα τοις εν Χριστω Ιησου
There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.
8:2
ο γαρ νομος του Πνευματος της ζωης εν Χριστω Ιησου ηλευθερωσεν σε απο του νομου της αμαρτιας και του θανατου
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
8:3
το γαρ αδυνατον του νομου εν ω ησθενει δια της σαρκος ο Θεος τον εαυτου Υιον πεμψας εν ομοιωματι σαρκος αμαρτιας και περι αμαρτιας κατεκρινεν την αμαρτιαν εν τη σαρκι
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:
8:4
ινα το δικαιωμα του νομου πληρωθη εν ημιν τοις μη κατα σαρκα περιπατουσιν αλλα κατα πνευμα
that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
8:5
Οι γαρ κατα σαρκα οντες τα της σαρκος φρονουσιν οι δε κατα πνευμα τα του πνευματος
For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
8:6
το γαρ φρονημα της σαρκος θανατος το δε φρονημα του πνευματος ζωη και ειρηνη
For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:
8:7
διοτι το φρονημα της σαρκος εχθρα εις Θεον τω γαρ νομω του Θεου ουχ υποτασσεται ουδε γαρ δυναται
because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be:
8:8
οι δε εν σαρκι οντες Θεω αρεσαι ου δυνανται
and they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
8:9
Υμεις δε ουκ εστε εν σαρκι αλλα εν πνευματι ειπερ Πνευμα Θεου οικει εν υμιν ει δε τις Πνευμα Χριστου ουκ εχει ουτος ουκ εστιν αυτου
But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
8:10
ει δε Χριστος εν υμιν το μεν σωμα νεκρον δια αμαρτιαν το δε πνευμα ζωη δια δικαιοσυνην
And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness.
8:11
ει δε το Πνευμα του εγειραντος τον Ιησουν εκ νεκρων οικει εν υμιν ο εγειρας Χριστον εκ νεκρων ζωοποιησει και τα θνητα σωματα υμων δια του ενοικουντος αυτου Πνευματος εν υμιν
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
8:12
Αρα ουν αδελφοι οφειλεται εσμεν ου τη σαρκι του κατα σαρκα ζην
So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh:
8:13
ει γαρ κατα σαρκα ζητε μελλετε αποθνησκειν ει δε πνευματι τας πραξεις του σωματος θανατουτε ζησεσθε
for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
8:14
οσοι γαρ Πνευματι Θεου αγονται ουτοι υιοι Θεου εισιν
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
8:15
Ου γαρ ελαβετε πνευμα δουλειας παλιν εις φοβον αλλα ελαβετε πνευμα υιοθεσιας εν ω κραζομεν Αββα ο Πατηρ
For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
8:16
αυτο το Πνευμα συμμαρτυρει τω πνευματι ημων οτι εσμεν τεκνα Θεου
The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:
8:17
ει δε τεκνα και κληρονομοι κληρονομοι μεν Θεου συνκληρονομοι δε Χριστου ειπερ συμπασχομεν ινα και συνδοξασθωμεν
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 with him.
8:18
Λογιζομαι γαρ οτι ουκ αξια τα παθηματα του νυν καιρου προς την μελλουσαν δοξαν αποκαλυφθηναι εις ημας
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward.
8:19
η γαρ αποκαραδοκια της κτισεως την αποκαλυψιν των υιων του Θεου απεκδεχεται
For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God.
8:20
τη γαρ ματαιοτητι η κτισις υπεταγη ουχ εκουσα αλλα δια τον υποταξαντα εφ ελπιδι
For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope
8:21
οτι και αυτη η κτισις ελευθερωθησεται απο της δουλειας της φθορας εις την ελευθεριαν της δοξης των τεκνων του Θεου
that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
8:22
Οιδαμεν γαρ οτι πασα η κτισις συστεναζει και συνωδινει αχρι του νυν
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
8:23
ου μονον δε αλλα και αυτοι την απαρχην του Πνευματος εχοντες ημεις και αυτοι εν εαυτοις στεναζομεν υιοθεσιαν απεκδεχομενοι την απολυτρωσιν του σωματος ημων
And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
8:24
τη γαρ ελπιδι εσωθημεν ελπις δε βλεπομενη ουκ εστιν ελπις ο γαρ βλεπει τις ελπιζει
For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth?
8:25
ει δε ο ου βλεπομεν ελπιζομεν δι υπομονης απεκδεχομεθα
But if we hope for that which we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
8:26
Ωσαυτως δε και το Πνευμα συναντιλαμβανεται τη ασθενεια ημων το γαρ τι προσευξωμεθα καθο δει ουκ οιδαμεν αλλα αυτο το Πνευμα υπερεντυγχανει στεναγμοις αλαλητοις
And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered;
8:27
ο δε εραυνων τας καρδιας οιδεν τι το φρονημα του Πνευματος οτι κατα Θεον εντυγχανει υπερ αγιων
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.
8:28
Οιδαμεν δε οτι τοις αγαπωσιν τον Θεον παντα συνεργει εις αγαθον τοις κατα προθεσιν κλητοις ουσιν
And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose.

8:29
οτι ους προεγνω και προωρισεν συμμορφους της εικονος του Υιου αυτου εις το ειναι αυτον πρωτοτοκον εν πολλοις αδελφοις
For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:
8:30
ους δε προωρισεν τουτους και εκαλεσεν και ους εκαλεσεν τουτους και εδικαιωσεν ους δε εδικαιωσεν τουτους και εδοξασεν
and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
8:31
Τι ουν ερουμεν προς ταυτα ει ο Θεος υπερ ημων τις καθ ημων
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
8:32
ος γε του ιδιου Υιου ουκ εφεισατο αλλα υπερ ημων παντων παρεδωκεν αυτον πως ουχι και συν αυτω τα παντα ημιν χαρισεται
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?
8:33
τις εγκαλεσει κατα εκλεκτων Θεου Θεος ο δικαιων
Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth;
8:34
τις ο κατακρινων Χριστος Ιησους ο αποθανων μαλλον δε εγερθεις ος και εστιν εν δεξια του Θεου ος και εντυγχανει υπερ ημων
who is he that condemneth? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
8:35
Τις ημας χωρισει απο της αγαπης του Χριστου θλιψις η στενοχωρια η διωγμος η λιμος η γυμνοτης η κινδυνος η μαχαιρα
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
8:36
καθως γεγραπται οτι Ενεκεν σου θανατουμεθα ολην την ημεραν ελογισθημεν ως προβατα σφαγης
Even as it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
8:37
Αλλ εν τουτοις πασιν υπερνικωμεν δια του αγαπησαντος ημας
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
8:38
πεπεισμαι γαρ οτι ουτε θανατος ουτε ζωη ουτε αγγελοι ουτε αρχαι ουτε ενεστωτα ουτε μελλοντα ουτε δυναμεις
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
8:39
ουτε υψωμα ουτε βαθος ουτε τις κτισις ετερα δυνησεται ημας χωρισαι απο της αγαπης του Θεου της εν Χριστω Ιησου τω Κυριω ημων
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.

A promise separated from its context

'All things work together for good to them that love God' gets quoted constantly, often detached from the specific context of suffering and hope that surrounds it in this chapter. Does the promise still hold the same weight when it's separated from t...
