[영어 성경] Romans chapter 8

Ro. 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are

in Christ Jesus, [Some later manuscripts Jesus, who do not

live according to the sinful nature but according to the

Spirit,]

Ro. 8:2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set

me free from the law of sin and death.

Ro. 8:3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was

weakened by the sinful nature, [Or the flesh; also in verses 4,

5, 8, 9, 12 and 13] God did by sending his own Son in the

likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. [Or man, for sin]

And so he condemned sin in sinful man, [Or in the flesh]

Ro. 8:4 in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be

fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature

but according to the Spirit.

Ro. 8:5 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their

minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in

400

accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the

Spirit desires.

Ro. 8:6 The mind of sinful man [Or mind set on the flesh] is death,

but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace;

Ro. 8:7 the sinful mind [Or the mind set on the flesh] is hostile to

God. It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.

Ro. 8:8 Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.

Ro. 8:9 You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by

the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone

does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to

Christ.

Ro. 8:10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet

your spirit is alive because of righteousness.

Ro. 8:11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is

living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also

give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in

you.

Ro. 8:12 Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation — but it is not to

the sinful nature, to live according to it.

Ro. 8:13 For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but

if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body,

you will live,

Ro. 8:14 because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of

God.

Ro. 8:15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again

to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. [Or adoption]

And by him we cry, “Abba, [Aramaic for Father] Father.”

Ro. 8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s

children.

Ro. 8:17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs — heirs of God and

co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in

order that we may also share in his glory.

401

Ro. 8:18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth

comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

Ro. 8:19 The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God

to be revealed.

Ro. 8:20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own

choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope

Ro. 8:21 that [Or subjected it in hope. 21 For] the creation itself will

be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the

glorious freedom of the children of God.

Ro. 8:22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the

pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

Ro. 8:23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the

Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as

sons, the redemption of our bodies.

Ro. 8:24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no

hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has?

Ro. 8:25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it

patiently.

Ro. 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do

not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself

intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

Ro. 8:27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit,

because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with

God’s will.

Ro. 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of

those who love him, [Some manuscripts: And we know that

all things work together for good to those who love God]

who [Or works together with those who love him to bring

about what is good — with those who] have been called

according to his purpose.

Ro. 8:29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed

to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn

among many brothers.

402

Ro. 8:30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he

also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

Ro. 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us,

who can be against us?

Ro. 8:32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all

— how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all

things?

Ro. 8:33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has

chosen? It is God who justifies.

Ro. 8:34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died — more

than that, who was raised to life — is at the right hand of

God and is also interceding for us.

Ro. 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble

or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger

or sword?

Ro. 8:36 As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we

are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” [Psalm 44:22]

Ro. 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through

him who loved us.

Ro. 8:38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels

nor demons, [Or not heavenly rulers] neither the present nor

the future, nor any powers,

Ro. 8:39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will

be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ

Jesus our Lord.
