1 إِذًا لَا شَيْءَ مِنَ ٱلدَّيْنُونَةِ ٱلْآنَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، ٱلسَّالِكِينَ لَيْسَ حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ بَلْ حَسَبَ ٱلرُّوحِ.
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 لِأَنَّ نَامُوسَ رُوحِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ قَدْ أَعْتَقَنِي مِنْ نَامُوسِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ وَٱلْمَوْتِ.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
3 لِأَنَّهُ مَا كَانَ ٱلنَّامُوسُ عَاجِزًا عَنْهُ، فِي مَا كَانَ ضَعِيفًا بِٱلْجَسَدِ، فَٱللهُ إِذْ أَرْسَلَ ٱبْنَهُ فِي شِبْهِ جَسَدِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ، وَلِأَجْلِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ، دَانَ ٱلْخَطِيَّةَ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ،
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 لِكَيْ يَتِمَّ حُكْمُ ٱلنَّامُوسِ فِينَا، نَحْنُ ٱلسَّالِكِينَ لَيْسَ حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ بَلْ حَسَبَ ٱلرُّوحِ.
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 فَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ فَبِمَا لِلْجَسَدِ يَهْتَمُّونَ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ حَسَبَ ٱلرُّوحِ فَبِمَا لِلرُّوحِ.
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 لِأَنَّ ٱهْتِمَامَ ٱلْجَسَدِ هُوَ مَوْتٌ، وَلَكِنَّ ٱهْتِمَامَ ٱلرُّوحِ هُوَ حَيَاةٌ وَسَلَامٌ.
6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;
7 لِأَنَّ ٱهْتِمَامَ ٱلْجَسَدِ هُوَ عَدَاوَةٌ لِلهِ، إِذْ لَيْسَ هُوَ خَاضِعًا لِنَامُوسِ ٱللهِ، لِأَنَّهُ أَيْضًا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ.
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 فَٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يُرْضُوا ٱللهَ.
8 Those who are in the flesh can’t please God.
9 وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَلَسْتُمْ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ بَلْ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ، إِنْ كَانَ رُوحُ ٱللهِ سَاكِنًا فِيكُمْ. وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَيْسَ لَهُ رُوحُ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، فَذَلِكَ لَيْسَ لَهُ.
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 وَإِنْ كَانَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ فِيكُمْ، فَٱلْجَسَدُ مَيِّتٌ بِسَبَبِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةِ، وَأَمَّا ٱلرُّوحُ فَحَيَاةٌ بِسَبَبِ ٱلْبِرِّ.
10 If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
11 وَإِنْ كَانَ رُوحُ ٱلَّذِي أَقَامَ يَسُوعَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ سَاكِنًا فِيكُمْ، فَٱلَّذِي أَقَامَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ مِنَ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ سَيُحْيِي أَجْسَادَكُمُ ٱلْمَائِتَةَ أَيْضًا بِرُوحِهِ ٱلسَّاكِنِ فِيكُمْ.
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 فَإِذًا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ نَحْنُ مَدْيُونُونَ لَيْسَ لِلْجَسَدِ لِنَعِيشَ حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ.
12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ عِشْتُمْ حَسَبَ ٱلْجَسَدِ فَسَتَمُوتُونَ، وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ بِٱلرُّوحِ تُمِيتُونَ أَعْمَالَ ٱلْجَسَدِ فَسَتَحْيَوْنَ.
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 لِأَنَّ كُلَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَنْقَادُونَ بِرُوحِ ٱللهِ، فَأُولَئِكَ هُمْ أَبْنَاءُ ٱللهِ.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.
15 إِذْ لَمْ تَأْخُذُوا رُوحَ ٱلْعُبُودِيَّةِ أَيْضًا لِلْخَوْفِ، بَلْ أَخَذْتُمْ رُوحَ ٱلتَّبَنِّي ٱلَّذِي بِهِ نَصْرُخُ: «يَا أَبَا ٱلْآبُ».
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 اَلرُّوحُ نَفْسُهُ أَيْضًا يَشْهَدُ لِأَرْوَاحِنَا أَنَّنَا أَوْلَادُ ٱللهِ.
16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;
17 فَإِنْ كُنَّا أَوْلَادًا فَإِنَّنَا وَرَثَةٌ أَيْضًا، وَرَثَةُ ٱللهِ وَوَارِثُونَ مَعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ. إِنْ كُنَّا نَتَأَلَّمُ مَعَهُ لِكَيْ نَتَمَجَّدَ أَيْضًا مَعَهُ.
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 فَإِنِّي أَحْسِبُ أَنَّ آلَامَ ٱلزَّمَانِ ٱلْحَاضِرِ لَا تُقَاسُ بِٱلْمَجْدِ ٱلْعَتِيدِ أَنْ يُسْتَعْلَنَ فِينَا.
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 لِأَنَّ ٱنْتِظَارَ ٱلْخَلِيقَةِ يَتَوَقَّعُ ٱسْتِعْلَانَ أَبْنَاءِ ٱللهِ.
19 For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
20 إِذْ أُخْضِعَتِ ٱلْخَلِيقَةُ لِلْبُطْلِ - لَيْسَ طَوْعًا، بَلْ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلَّذِي أَخْضَعَهَا - عَلَى ٱلرَّجَاءِ،
20 For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope
21 لِأَنَّ ٱلْخَلِيقَةَ نَفْسَهَا أَيْضًا سَتُعْتَقُ مِنْ عُبُودِيَّةِ ٱلْفَسَادِ إِلَى حُرِّيَّةِ مَجْدِ أَوْلَادِ ٱللهِ.
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 فَإِنَّنَا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ كُلَّ ٱلْخَلِيقَةِ تَئِنُّ وَتَتَمَخَّضُ مَعًا إِلَى ٱلْآنَ.
22 For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
23 وَلَيْسَ هَكَذَا فَقَطْ، بَلْ نَحْنُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَنَا بَاكُورَةُ ٱلرُّوحِ، نَحْنُ أَنْفُسُنَا أَيْضًا نَئِنُّ فِي أَنْفُسِنَا، مُتَوَقِّعِينَ ٱلتَّبَنِّيَ فِدَاءَ أَجْسَادِنَا.
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 لِأَنَّنَا بِٱلرَّجَاءِ خَلَصْنَا. وَلَكِنَّ ٱلرَّجَاءَ ٱلْمَنْظُورَ لَيْسَ رَجَاءً، لِأَنَّ مَا يَنْظُرُهُ أَحَدٌ كَيْفَ يَرْجُوهُ أَيْضًا؟
24 For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?
25 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كُنَّا نَرْجُو مَا لَسْنَا نَنْظُرُهُ فَإِنَّنَا نَتَوَقَّعُهُ بِٱلصَّبْرِ.
25 But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.
26 وَكَذَلِكَ ٱلرُّوحُ أَيْضًا يُعِينُ ضَعَفَاتِنَا، لِأَنَّنَا لَسْنَا نَعْلَمُ مَا نُصَلِّي لِأَجْلِهِ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي. وَلَكِنَّ ٱلرُّوحَ نَفْسَهُ يَشْفَعُ فِينَا بِأَنَّاتٍ لَا يُنْطَقُ بِهَا.
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 وَلَكِنَّ ٱلَّذِي يَفْحَصُ ٱلْقُلُوبَ يَعْلَمُ مَا هُوَ ٱهْتِمَامُ ٱلرُّوحِ، لِأَنَّهُ بِحَسَبِ مَشِيئَةِ ٱللهِ يَشْفَعُ فِي ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ.
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 وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ كُلَّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ تَعْمَلُ مَعًا لِلْخَيْرِ لِلَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ ٱللهَ، ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مَدْعُوُّونَ حَسَبَ قَصْدِهِ.
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 لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ سَبَقَ فَعَرَفَهُمْ سَبَقَ فَعَيَّنَهُمْ لِيَكُونُوا مُشَابِهِينَ صُورَةَ ٱبْنِهِ، لِيَكُونَ هُوَ بِكْرًا بَيْنَ إِخْوَةٍ كَثِيرِينَ.
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 وَٱلَّذِينَ سَبَقَ فَعَيَّنَهُمْ، فَهَؤُلَاءِ دَعَاهُمْ أَيْضًا. وَٱلَّذِينَ دَعَاهُمْ، فَهَؤُلَاءِ بَرَّرَهُمْ أَيْضًا. وَٱلَّذِينَ بَرَّرَهُمْ، فَهَؤُلَاءِ مَجَّدَهُمْ أَيْضًا.
30 Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.
31 فَمَاذَا نَقُولُ لِهَذَا؟ إِنْ كَانَ ٱللهُ مَعَنَا، فَمَنْ عَلَيْنَا؟
31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 اَلَّذِي لَمْ يُشْفِقْ عَلَى ٱبْنِهِ، بَلْ بَذَلَهُ لِأَجْلِنَا أَجْمَعِينَ، كَيْفَ لَا يَهَبُنَا أَيْضًا مَعَهُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ؟
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 مَنْ سَيَشْتَكِي عَلَى مُخْتَارِي ٱللهِ؟ ٱللهُ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُبَرِّرُ.
33 Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies.
34 مَنْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَدِينُ؟ اَلْمَسِيحُ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي مَاتَ، بَلْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ قَامَ أَيْضًا، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ أَيْضًا عَنْ يَمِينِ ٱللهِ، ٱلَّذِي أَيْضًا يَشْفَعُ فِينَا.
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 مَنْ سَيَفْصِلُنَا عَنْ مَحَبَّةِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ؟ أَشِدَّةٌ أَمْ ضِيْقٌ أَمِ ٱضْطِهَادٌ أَمْ جُوعٌ أَمْ عُرْيٌ أَمْ خَطَرٌ أَمْ سَيْفٌ؟
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 كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ: «إِنَّنَا مِنْ أَجْلِكَ نُمَاتُ كُلَّ ٱلنَّهَارِ. قَدْ حُسِبْنَا مِثْلَ غَنَمٍ لِلذَّبْحِ».
36 Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
37 وَلَكِنَّنَا فِي هَذِهِ جَمِيعِهَا يَعْظُمُ ٱنْتِصَارُنَا بِٱلَّذِي أَحَبَّنَا.
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
38 فَإِنِّي مُتَيَقِّنٌ أَنَّهُ لَا مَوْتَ وَلَا حَيَاةَ، وَلَا مَلَائِكَةَ وَلَا رُؤَسَاءَ وَلَا قُوَّاتِ، وَلَا أُمُورَ حَاضِرَةً وَلَا مُسْتَقْبَلَةً،
38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39 وَلَا عُلْوَ وَلَا عُمْقَ، وَلَا خَلِيقَةَ أُخْرَى، تَقْدِرُ أَنْ تَفْصِلَنَا عَنْ مَحَبَّةِ ٱللهِ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ رَبِّنَا.
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).
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.

… by the prophet and by Paul, of whom the apostle, calling to mind the Scripture, says in the Epistle addressed to the Romans, "As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long, we are counted as sheep for the slaughter." But here the expression "all the day long" is put for all this time during …
They would perchance have been troubled, and have vomited it forth, and Thou wouldest hear them when they cried unto Thee; for by a true death in the flesh He died for us, who now maketh intercession for us with Thee.

Make ready then the vessel of thy soul, that thou mayest become a son of God, and an heir of God, and joint-heir with Christ; if, indeed, thou art preparing thyself that thou mayest receive; if thou art drawing nigh in faith that thou mayest be made faithful; if of set purpose thou art putting off the old man.
