WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Ни є҆ди́но ᲂу҆̀бо нн҃ѣ ѡ҆сꙋжде́нїе сꙋ́щымъ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ, не по пло́ти ходѧ́щымъ, но по дꙋ́хꙋ:
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2 зако́нъ бо дꙋ́ха жи́зни ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ свободи́лъ мѧ̀ є҆́сть ѿ зако́на грѣхо́внагѡ и҆ сме́рти.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
3 Немощно́е бо зако́на, въ не́мже немоществова́ше пло́тїю, бг҃ъ сн҃а своего̀ посла̀ въ подо́бїи пло́ти грѣха̀, и҆ ѡ҆ грѣсѣ̀ ѡ҆сꙋдѝ грѣ́хъ во пло́ти,
3 For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,
4 да ѡ҆правда́нїе зако́на и҆спо́лнитсѧ въ на́съ, не по пло́ти ходѧ́щихъ, но по дꙋ́хꙋ.
4 that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
5 Сꙋ́щїи бо по пло́ти плотска̑ѧ мꙋ́дрствꙋютъ: а҆ и҆̀же по дꙋ́хꙋ, дꙋхѡ́внаѧ.
5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
6 Мꙋдрова́нїе бо плотско́е сме́рть є҆́сть, а҆ мꙋдрова́нїе дꙋхо́вное живо́тъ и҆ ми́ръ,
6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;
7 занѐ мꙋдрова́нїе плотско́е вражда̀ на бг҃а: зако́нꙋ бо бж҃їю не покарѧ́етсѧ, ниже́ бо мо́жетъ.
7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward God, for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.
8 Сꙋ́щїи же во пло́ти бг҃ꙋ ᲂу҆годи́ти не мо́гꙋтъ.
8 Those who are in the flesh can’t please God.
9 Вы́ же нѣ́сте во пло́ти, но въ дꙋ́сѣ, поне́же дх҃ъ бж҃їй живе́тъ въ ва́съ. А҆́ще же кто̀ дх҃а хрⷭ҇то́ва не и҆́мать, се́й нѣ́сть є҆гѡ́въ.
9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.
10 А҆́ще же хрⷭ҇то́съ въ ва́съ, пло́ть ᲂу҆́бѡ мертва̀ грѣха̀ ра́ди, дꙋ́хъ же живе́тъ пра́вды ра́ди.
10 If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
11 А҆́ще ли же дх҃ъ воскр҃си́вшагѡ і҆и҃са ѿ ме́ртвыхъ живе́тъ въ ва́съ, воздви́гїй хрⷭ҇та̀ и҆з̾ ме́ртвыхъ ѡ҆животвори́тъ и҆ ме́ртвєннаѧ тѣлеса̀ ва́ша, живꙋ́щимъ дх҃омъ є҆гѡ̀ въ ва́съ.
11 But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
12 Тѣ́мже ᲂу҆̀бо, бра́тїе, до́лжни є҆смы̀ не пло́ти, є҆́же по пло́ти жи́ти.
12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 А҆́ще бо по пло́ти живе́те, и҆́мате ᲂу҆мре́ти, а҆́ще ли дꙋ́хомъ дѣѧ̑нїѧ плотска̑ѧ ᲂу҆мерщвлѧ́ете, жи́ви бꙋ́дете:
13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14 є҆ли́цы бо дх҃омъ бж҃їимъ во́дѧтсѧ, сі́и сꙋ́ть сн҃ове бж҃їи:
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.
15 не прїѧ́сте бо дꙋ́ха рабо́ты па́ки въ боѧ́знь, но прїѧ́сте дх҃а сн҃оположе́нїѧ, ѡ҆ не́мже вопїе́мъ: а҆́вва ѻ҆́ч҃е.
15 For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
16 Са́мый дх҃ъ спослꙋшествꙋ́етъ дꙋ́хови на́шемꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆смы̀ ча̑да бж҃їѧ.
16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;
17 А҆́ще же ча́да, и҆ наслѣ̑дницы: наслѣ̑дницы ᲂу҆́бѡ бг҃ꙋ, снаслѣ̑дницы же хрⷭ҇тꙋ̀, поне́же съ ни́мъ стра́ждемъ, да и҆ съ ни́мъ просла́вимсѧ.
17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.
18 Непщꙋ́ю бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ недостѡ́йны стра́сти нн҃ѣшнѧгѡ вре́мене къ хотѧ́щей сла́вѣ ꙗ҆ви́тисѧ въ на́съ.
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.
19 Ча́ѧнїе бо тва́ри, ѿкрове́нїѧ сн҃ѡ́въ бж҃їихъ ча́етъ:
19 For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
20 сꙋетѣ́ бо тва́рь повинꙋ́сѧ не во́лею, но за повинꙋ́вшаго ю҆̀, на ᲂу҆пова́нїи,
20 For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope
21 ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ сама̀ тва́рь свободи́тсѧ ѿ рабо́ты и҆стлѣ́нїѧ въ свобо́дꙋ сла́вы ча̑дъ бж҃їихъ.
21 that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
22 Вѣ́мы бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ̀ тва́рь съ на́ми совоздыха́етъ и҆ сболѣ́знꙋетъ да́же донн҃ѣ:
22 For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
23 не то́чїю же, но и҆ са́ми нача́токъ дх҃а и҆мꙋ́ще, и҆ мы̀ са́ми въ себѣ̀ воздыха́емъ, всн҃овле́нїѧ ча́юще, и҆збавле́нїѧ тѣ́лꙋ на́шемꙋ.
23 Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.
24 Оу҆пова́нїемъ бо спасо́хомсѧ. Оу҆пова́нїе же ви́димое, нѣ́сть ᲂу҆пова́нїе: є҆́же бо ви́дитъ кто̀, что̀ и҆ ᲂу҆пова́етъ;
24 For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?
25 А҆́ще ли, є҆гѡ́же не ви́димъ, надѣ́емсѧ, терпѣ́нїемъ жде́мъ.
25 But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.
26 Си́це же и҆ дх҃ъ спосо́бствꙋетъ на́мъ въ не́мощехъ на́шихъ: ѡ҆ чесо́мъ бо помо́лимсѧ, ꙗ҆́коже подоба́етъ, не вѣ́мы, но са́мъ дх҃ъ хода́тайствꙋетъ ѡ҆ на́съ воздыха̑нїи неизглаго́ланными.
26 In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.
27 И҆спыта́ѧй же сердца̀ вѣ́сть, что̀ є҆́сть мꙋдрова́нїе дх҃а, ꙗ҆́кѡ по бг҃ꙋ приповѣ́дꙋетъ ѡ҆ ст҃ы́хъ.
27 He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.
28 Вѣ́мы же, ꙗ҆́кѡ лю́бѧщымъ бг҃а всѧ̑ поспѣшествꙋ́ютъ во бл҃го́е, сꙋ́щымъ по пред̾ꙋвѣ́дѣнїю зва́ннымъ:
28 We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.
29 и҆̀хже бо пред̾ꙋвѣ́дѣ, (тѣ́хъ) и҆ пред̾ꙋста́ви соѡбра́зныхъ бы́ти ѡ҆́бразꙋ сн҃а своегѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ бы́ти є҆мꙋ̀ перворо́днꙋ во мно́гихъ бра́тїѧхъ:
29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30 а҆ и҆̀хже пред̾ꙋста́ви, тѣ́хъ и҆ призва̀: а҆ и҆̀хже призва̀, си́хъ и҆ ѡ҆правда̀: а҆ и҆̀хже ѡ҆правда̀, си́хъ и҆ просла́ви.
30 Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.
31 Что̀ ᲂу҆̀бо рече́мъ къ си́мъ, а҆́ще бг҃ъ по на́съ, кто̀ на ны̀;
31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 И҆́же ᲂу҆́бѡ своегѡ̀ сн҃а не пощадѣ̀, но за на́съ всѣ́хъ пре́далъ є҆́сть є҆го̀, ка́кѡ ᲂу҆̀бо не и҆ съ ни́мъ всѧ̑ на́мъ да́рствꙋетъ;
32 He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?
33 Кто̀ пое́млетъ на и҆збра̑нныѧ бж҃їѧ, бг҃ъ ѡ҆правда́ѧй.
33 Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies.
34 Кто̀ ѡ҆сꙋжда́ѧй; Хрⷭ҇то́съ і҆и҃съ ᲂу҆ме́рый, па́че же и҆ воскр҃сый, и҆́же и҆ є҆́сть ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю бг҃а, и҆́же и҆ хода́тайствꙋетъ ѡ҆ на́съ.
34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
35 Кто̀ ны̀ разлꙋчи́тъ ѿ любвѐ бж҃їѧ, ско́рбь ли, и҆лѝ тѣснота̀, и҆лѝ гоне́нїе, и҆лѝ гла́дъ, и҆лѝ нагота̀, и҆лѝ бѣда̀, и҆лѝ ме́чь; ꙗ҆́коже є҆́сть пи́сано:
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 ꙗ҆́кѡ тебє̀ ра́ди ᲂу҆мерщвлѧ́еми є҆смы̀ ве́сь де́нь: вмѣни́хомсѧ ꙗ҆́коже ѻ҆́вцы заколе́нїѧ.
36 Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
37 Но во всѣ́хъ си́хъ препобѣжда́емъ за возлю́бльшаго ны̀.
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
38 И҆звѣсти́хсѧ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ ни сме́рть, ни живо́тъ, ни а҆́гг҃ли, ни нача̑ла, нижѐ си́лы, ни настоѧ̑щаѧ, ни грѧдꙋ̑щаѧ,
38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39 ни высота̀, ни глꙋбина̀, ни и҆́на тва́рь ка́ѧ возмо́жетъ на́съ разлꙋчи́ти ѿ любвѐ бж҃їѧ, ꙗ҆́же ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ гдⷭ҇ѣ на́шемъ.
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God’s love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 8:12 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Romans (Homily XIV)

    After showing how great the reward of a spiritual life is, and that it maketh Christ to dwell in us, and that it quickeneth our mortal bodies, and wingeth them to heaven, and rendereth the way of virtue easier, he next fitly introduces an exhortation to this purpose.
