1Daar is dus nou geen veroordeling vir dié wat in Christus Jesus is nie.

Sommige manuskripte lees: vir dié wat in Christus Jesus is, wat nie volgens die vlees wandel nie, maar volgens die Gees.

Οὐδὲν ἄρα νῦν κατάκριμα τοῖς ἐν Χριστῷ ⸀Ἰησοῦ·Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2Want die wet van die Gees van die lewe in Christus Jesus het jou vrygemaak van die wet van die sonde en die dood.

Sommige manuskripte lees: het my vrygemaak.

ὁ γὰρ νόμος τοῦ πνεύματος τῆς ζωῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ ἠλευθέρωσέν ⸀σε ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου τῆς ἁμαρτίας καὶ τοῦ θανάτου.For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death. 3Want wat vir die wet onmoontlik was, waarin dit deur die vlees swak was, het God gedoen: Hy het Sy eie Seun gestuur in die gelykenis van die vlees van sonde en oor sonde, en die sonde in die vlees veroordeel,

Of: as sondoffer.

τὸ γὰρ ἀδύνατον τοῦ νόμου, ἐν ᾧ ἠσθένει διὰ τῆς σαρκός, ὁ θεὸς τὸν ἑαυτοῦ υἱὸν πέμψας ἐν ὁμοιώματι σαρκὸς ἁμαρτίας καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας κατέκρινε τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ἐν τῇ σαρκί,For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh, 4sodat die regsvereiste van die wet vervul kan word in ons wat nie volgens die vlees wandel nie, maar volgens die Gees.ἵνα τὸ δικαίωμα τοῦ νόμου πληρωθῇ ἐν ἡμῖν τοῖς μὴ κατὰ σάρκα περιπατοῦσιν ἀλλὰ κατὰ πνεῦμα·so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5Want dié wat volgens die vlees is, rig hulle denke op die dinge van die vlees, maar dié wat volgens die Gees is, op die dinge van die Gees.οἱ γὰρ κατὰ σάρκα ὄντες τὰ τῆς σαρκὸς φρονοῦσιν, οἱ δὲ κατὰ πνεῦμα τὰ τοῦ πνεύματος.Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6Want die denke van die vlees is dood, maar die denke van die Gees is lewe en vrede,τὸ γὰρ φρόνημα τῆς σαρκὸς θάνατος, τὸ δὲ φρόνημα τοῦ πνεύματος ζωὴ καὶ εἰρήνη·The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace, 7omdat die denke van die vlees vyandskap teen God is, want dit onderwerp hom nie aan die wet van God nie, want dit kan ook nie.διότι τὸ φρόνημα τῆς σαρκὸς ἔχθρα εἰς θεόν, τῷ γὰρ νόμῳ τοῦ θεοῦ οὐχ ὑποτάσσεται, οὐδὲ γὰρ δύναται·because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8En dié wat in die vlees is, kan God nie behaag nie.οἱ δὲ ἐν σαρκὶ ὄντες θεῷ ἀρέσαι οὐ δύνανται.Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God. 9Maar julle is nie in die vlees nie, maar in die Gees, as die Gees van God inderdaad in julle woon. Maar as iemand nie die Gees van Christus het nie, dié is nie Syne nie.Ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐκ ἐστὲ ἐν σαρκὶ ἀλλὰ ἐν πνεύματι, εἴπερ πνεῦμα θεοῦ οἰκεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν. εἰ δέ τις πνεῦμα Χριστοῦ οὐκ ἔχει, οὗτος οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῦ.You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, 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. 10Maar as Christus in julle is, is die liggaam wel dood weens sonde, maar die gees is lewe weens geregtigheid.

Of: Gees (die Heilige Gees).

εἰ δὲ Χριστὸς ἐν ὑμῖν, τὸ μὲν σῶμα νεκρὸν διὰ ἁμαρτίαν, τὸ δὲ πνεῦμα ζωὴ διὰ δικαιοσύνην.But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. 11En as die Gees van Hom wat Jesus uit die dode opgewek het, in julle woon, sal Hy wat Christus Jesus uit die dode opgewek het, ook julle sterflike liggame lewend maak weens Sy Gees wat in julle woon.

Sommige manuskripte lees: deur Sy Gees wat in julle woon.

εἰ δὲ τὸ πνεῦμα τοῦ ἐγείραντος ⸀τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἐκ νεκρῶν οἰκεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν, ὁ ἐγείρας ⸂ἐκ νεκρῶν Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν⸃ ζῳοποιήσει καὶ τὰ θνητὰ σώματα ὑμῶν διὰ ⸂τὸ ἐνοικοῦν αὐτοῦ πνεῦμα⸃ ἐν ὑμῖν.And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.

12Dus dan, broers en susters, is ons skuldenaars, nie aan die vlees om volgens die vlees te lewe nie,Ἄρα οὖν, ἀδελφοί, ὀφειλέται ἐσμέν, οὐ τῇ σαρκὶ τοῦ κατὰ σάρκα ζῆν,Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation, but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13Want as julle volgens die vlees lewe, gaan julle sterf; maar as julle deur die Gees die dade van die liggaam doodmaak, sal julle lewe.εἰ γὰρ κατὰ σάρκα ζῆτε μέλλετε ἀποθνῄσκειν, εἰ δὲ πνεύματι τὰς πράξεις τοῦ σώματος θανατοῦτε, ζήσεσθε.For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14Want almal wat deur die Gees van God gelei word, dié is seuns van God.ὅσοι γὰρ πνεύματι θεοῦ ἄγονται, οὗτοι ⸂υἱοί εἰσιν θεοῦ⸃.For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15Want julle het nie 'n gees van slawerny ontvang om weer te vrees nie, maar julle het die Gees van aanneming as kinders ontvang, in wie ons uitroep: “Abba, Vader!”

Letterlik: Gees van seunskap.

οὐ γὰρ ἐλάβετε πνεῦμα δουλείας πάλιν εἰς φόβον, ἀλλὰ ἐλάβετε πνεῦμα υἱοθεσίας ἐν ᾧ κράζομεν· Αββα ὁ πατήρ·For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption to sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16Die Gees self getuig saam met ons gees dat ons kinders van God is.

Of: getuig teenoor ons gees.

αὐτὸ τὸ πνεῦμα συμμαρτυρεῖ τῷ πνεύματι ἡμῶν ὅτι ἐσμὲν τέκνα θεοῦ.The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17En as kinders, dan ook erfgename: erfgename van God en mede-erfgename van Christus, as ons werklik saam ly sodat ons ook saam verheerlik kan word.εἰ δὲ τέκνα, καὶ κληρονόμοι· κληρονόμοι μὲν θεοῦ, συγκληρονόμοι δὲ Χριστοῦ, εἴπερ συμπάσχομεν ἵνα καὶ συνδοξασθῶμεν.And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.

18Want ek reken dat die lyding van die huidige tyd nie opweeg teen die heerlikheid wat aan ons geopenbaar gaan word nie.

Letterlik: nie waardig is in vergelyking met die heerlikheid.

Λογίζομαι γὰρ ὅτι οὐκ ἄξια τὰ παθήματα τοῦ νῦν καιροῦ πρὸς τὴν μέλλουσαν δόξαν ἀποκαλυφθῆναι εἰς ἡμᾶς.I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us. 19Want die gespanne verwagting van die skepping wag uit op die openbaring van die seuns van God.ἡ γὰρ ἀποκαραδοκία τῆς κτίσεως τὴν ἀποκάλυψιν τῶν υἱῶν τοῦ θεοῦ ἀπεκδέχεται·The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God. 20Want die skepping is aan die nietigheid onderwerp, nie uit eie wil nie, maar weens Hom wat dit onderwerp het, in hoop,τῇ γὰρ ματαιότητι ἡ κτίσις ὑπετάγη, οὐχ ἑκοῦσα ἀλλὰ διὰ τὸν ὑποτάξαντα, ⸀ἐφʼ ἑλπίδιFor the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope 21dat ook die skepping self vrygemaak sal word van die slawerny van die verganklikheid tot die vryheid van die heerlikheid van die kinders van God.

Of: omdat ook die skepping self vrygemaak sal word.

ὅτι καὶ αὐτὴ ἡ κτίσις ἐλευθερωθήσεται ἀπὸ τῆς δουλείας τῆς φθορᾶς εἰς τὴν ἐλευθερίαν τῆς δόξης τῶν τέκνων τοῦ θεοῦ.that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. 22Want ons weet dat die hele skepping tot nou toe saam sug en saam in barensnood is.οἴδαμεν γὰρ ὅτι πᾶσα ἡ κτίσις συστενάζει καὶ συνωδίνει ἄχρι τοῦ νῦν·We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time. 23En nie alleen dit nie, maar ook ons self, wat die eersteling van die Gees het, ook ons sug in onsself, terwyl ons die aanneming as kinders verwag, die verlossing van ons liggaam.οὐ μόνον δέ, ἀλλὰ ⸂καὶ αὐτοὶ⸃ τὴν ἀπαρχὴν τοῦ πνεύματος ἔχοντες ⸂ἡμεῖς καὶ⸃ αὐτοὶ ἐν ἑαυτοῖς στενάζομεν, υἱοθεσίαν ἀπεκδεχόμενοι τὴν ἀπολύτρωσιν τοῦ σώματος ἡμῶν.Not only that, 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. 24Want in hoop is ons gered; maar hoop wat gesien word, is nie hoop nie, want wat iemand sien, wie hoop daarop?

Sommige manuskripte lees: want wat iemand sien, waarom hoop hy ook nog daarop?

τῇ γὰρ ἐλπίδι ἐσώθημεν· ἐλπὶς δὲ βλεπομένη οὐκ ἔστιν ἐλπίς, ὃ γὰρ βλέπει ⸀τίς ἐλπίζει;For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see? 25Maar as ons hoop op wat ons nie sien nie, verwag ons dit met volharding.εἰ δὲ ὃ οὐ βλέπομεν ἐλπίζομεν, διʼ ὑπομονῆς ἀπεκδεχόμεθα.But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently.

26En net so kom die Gees ook ons swakheid te hulp; want wat ons moet bid soos dit behoort, weet ons nie, maar die Gees self tree in met woordelose versugtinge.

Sommige manuskripte lees: maar die Gees self tree vir ons in met woordelose versugtinge.

Of: onuitspreeklike versugtinge.

Ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα συναντιλαμβάνεται ⸂τῇ ἀσθενείᾳ⸃ ἡμῶν· τὸ γὰρ τί ⸀προσευξώμεθα καθὸ δεῖ οὐκ οἴδαμεν, ἀλλὰ αὐτὸ τὸ πνεῦμα ⸀ὑπερεντυγχάνει στεναγμοῖς ἀλαλήτοις,In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words. 27en Hy wat die harte deursoek, weet wat die gesindheid van die Gees is, omdat Hy volgens God vir die heiliges intree.ὁ δὲ ἐραυνῶν τὰς καρδίας οἶδεν τί τὸ φρόνημα τοῦ πνεύματος, ὅτι κατὰ θεὸν ἐντυγχάνει ὑπὲρ ἁγίων.And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28En ons weet dat vir hulle wat God liefhet, alles meewerk ten goede, vir hulle wat volgens die voorneme geroep is.

Sommige manuskripte lees: dat God alles laat meewerk ten goede vir hulle wat Hom liefhet.

Οἴδαμεν δὲ ὅτι τοῖς ἀγαπῶσι τὸν θεὸν πάντα ⸀συνεργεῖ εἰς ἀγαθόν, τοῖς κατὰ πρόθεσιν κλητοῖς οὖσιν.And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose. 29Want dié wat Hy vooraf geken het, het Hy ook voorbestem om gelykvormig aan die beeld van Sy Seun te wees, sodat Hy die eersgeborene onder baie broers en susters sou wees.ὅτι οὓς προέγνω, καὶ προώρισεν συμμόρφους τῆς εἰκόνος τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν πρωτότοκον ἐν πολλοῖς ἀδελφοῖς·For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers. 30En dié wat Hy voorbestem het, dié het Hy ook geroep; en dié wat Hy geroep het, dié het Hy ook geregverdig; en dié wat Hy geregverdig het, dié het Hy ook verheerlik.οὓς δὲ προώρισεν, τούτους καὶ ἐκάλεσεν· καὶ οὓς ἐκάλεσεν, τούτους καὶ ἐδικαίωσεν· οὓς δὲ ἐδικαίωσεν, τούτους καὶ ἐδόξασεν.And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.

31Wat sal ons dan hieroor sê? As God vir ons is, wie is teen ons?Τί οὖν ἐροῦμεν πρὸς ταῦτα; εἰ ὁ θεὸς ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, τίς καθʼ ἡμῶν;What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32Hy wat selfs Sy eie Seun nie gespaar het nie, maar Hom vir ons almal oorgegee het, hoe sal Hy nie ook saam met Hom alles aan ons skenk nie?ὅς γε τοῦ ἰδίου υἱοῦ οὐκ ἐφείσατο, ἀλλὰ ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν πάντων παρέδωκεν αὐτόν, πῶς οὐχὶ καὶ σὺν αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα ἡμῖν χαρίσεται;He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things? 33Wie sal 'n aanklag inbring teen die uitverkorenes van God? Dit is God wat regverdig.τίς ἐγκαλέσει κατὰ ἐκλεκτῶν θεοῦ; θεὸς ὁ δικαιῶν·Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34Wie is dit wat sal veroordeel? Christus is dit wat gesterf het, meer nog, wat opgewek is, wat ook aan die regterhand van God is, wat ook vir ons intree.τίς ὁ ⸀κατακρινῶν; ⸀Χριστὸς ὁ ἀποθανών, μᾶλλον ⸀δὲ ⸀ἐγερθείς, ὅς ⸀καί ἐστιν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ θεοῦ, ὃς καὶ ἐντυγχάνει ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν·Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God—and He is interceding for us. 35Wie sal ons skei van die liefde van Christus? Verdrukking of benoudheid of vervolging of hongersnood of naaktheid of gevaar of swaard?τίς ἡμᾶς χωρίσει ἀπὸ τῆς ἀγάπης τοῦ Χριστοῦ; θλῖψις ἢ στενοχωρία ἢ διωγμὸς ἢ λιμὸς ἢ γυμνότης ἢ κίνδυνος ἢ μάχαιρα;Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36Soos geskrywe is: “Ter wille van U word ons die hele dag gedood; ons is gereken as skape vir slagting.”

Aanhaling uit Psalm 44:23.

καθὼς γέγραπται ὅτι Ἕνεκεν σοῦ θανατούμεθα ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν, ἐλογίσθημεν ὡς πρόβατα σφαγῆς.As it is written: “For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37Maar in al hierdie dinge is ons meer as oorwinnaars deur Hom wat ons liefgehad het.ἀλλʼ ἐν τούτοις πᾶσιν ὑπερνικῶμεν διὰ τοῦ ἀγαπήσαντος ἡμᾶς.No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38Want ek is oortuig dat nóg dood nóg lewe nóg engele nóg owerhede nóg teenwoordige dinge nóg toekomstige dinge nóg kragteπέπεισμαι γὰρ ὅτι οὔτε θάνατος οὔτε ζωὴ οὔτε ἄγγελοι οὔτε ἀρχαὶ οὔτε ⸂ἐνεστῶτα οὔτε μέλλοντα οὔτε δυνάμεις⸃For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39nóg hoogte nóg diepte nóg enige ander skepsel ons sal kan skei van die liefde van God wat in Christus Jesus, ons Here, is.οὔτε ὕψωμα οὔτε βάθος οὔτε τις κτίσις ἑτέρα δυνήσεται ἡμᾶς χωρίσαι ἀπὸ τῆς ἀγάπης τοῦ θεοῦ τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν.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.
