1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death. 3 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: 4 that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5 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. 6 For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace: 7 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 and they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 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. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 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.

12 So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh: 13 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. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God: 17 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.

18 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. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23 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. 24 For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth? 25 But if we hope for that which we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

26 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; 27 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. 28 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. 29 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: 30 and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 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? 33 Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth; 34 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. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 Even as it is written,

For thy sake we are killed all the day long;

We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 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.

1 Na, kahore e tau te he inaianei ki te hunga i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.

2 Na te ture hoki a te Wairua o te ora i roto i a Karaiti Ihu ahau i atea ai i te ture a te hara, a te mate.

3 Ko te mea kihai i taea e te ture, he ngoikore nona i te kikokiko, tonoa mai ana e te Atua tana Tama, i te ahua o te kikokiko hara, hei whakahere ano mo te hara, a whakataua ana e ia te he ki te hara i roto i te kikokiko:

4 Kia rite ai to te ture tikanga i roto i a tatou, kahore nei e haere i runga i ta te kikokiko, engari i ta te Wairua.

5 Ko te hunga hoki i runga i ta te kikokiko, whakaaro ana ratou ki o te kikokiko; ko te hunga ia i runga i ta te Wairua, ki o te Wairua.

6 Ko to te kikokiko whakaaro hoki he mate, ko to te Wairua ia he ora, he rangimarie:

7 He tikanga whawhai hoki ki te Atua te whakaaro ki te kikokiko: e kore nei hoki e ngawari ki te ture a te Atua, kahore ano e ahei kia ngawari:

8 A e kore e taea e te hunga i te kikokiko te whakamanawareka ki te Atua.

9 Otiia kahore koutou i te kikokiko, engari i te Wairua, ki te mea e noho ana te Wairua o te Atua i roto i a koutou. Ki te kahore ia te Wairua o te Karaiti i tetahi, ehara tenei i a ia.

10 Tena ki te mea kei roto a te Karaiti i a koutou, he tupapaku te tinana i te hara, he ora ia te wairua i te tika.

11 Ki te noho ia i roto i a koutou te Wairua o te kaiwhakaara o Ihu i te hunga mate, mana, ma te kaiwhakaara o Karaiti Ihu i roto i te hunga mate, e whakaora ake ano o koutou tinana mate ki tona Wairua e noho na i roto i a koutou.

12 Na reira, e oku teina, kahore he tikanga o te kikokiko kei runga i a tatou, kia whai tatou i tana:

13 Ki te noho hoki koutou i runga i ta te kikokiko, ka mate koutou; ki te mea ia ka whakamate koutou i nga mahi a te tinana, he mea na te Wairua, ka ora koutou.

14 Ko te hunga hoki e arahina ana e te Wairua o te Atua, he tama ratou na te Atua.

15 He teka hoki he wairua pononga kua riro nei i a koutou, e mataku ai ano koutou; engari kua riro i a koutou te Wairua e mea ana i a koutou hei tamariki ake, e karanga ai koutou, E Apa, e Pa.

16 Ko taua Wairua ra ano hei whakaae ake ki o tatou wairua, he tamariki tatou na te Atua:

17 Ki te mea hoki he tamariki, kati mo tatou te kainga; mo tatou te kainga o te Atua, mo tatou tahi ko te Karaiti; kia mamae rawa ake ai tatou tahi me ia, Ka whakakororiatia ngatahitia tatou me ia.

18 Ki toku whakaaro iho hoki, he kore noa iho nga mamae o tenei wa, ki te whakaritea ki te kororia e whakakitea mai ki a tatou a mua.

19 Ko te tumanako hoki o te mea i hanga e tatari ana ki te whakakitenga mai o nga tama a te Atua.

20 Kua meinga hoki te tekateka noa hei rangatira mo te mea i hanga, ehara i te mea na tenei ake i whakaae, engari na ta te kaiwhakarite i pai ai, i runga i te tumanako,

21 Tera taua mea i hanga e whakaateatia mai i te whakataurekarekatanga a te pirau, whakarangatiratia ake ki roto ki te kororia o nga tamariki a te Atua.

22 E mohio ana hoki tatou, kei te ngunguru tahi, kei te mamae tahi, nga mea hanga katoa taea noatia tenei ra.

23 Ehara i te mea ko tera anake, engari ko tatou ano hoki kua whiwhi nei ki te hua matamua, ara ki te Wairua, ina, e aue ana hoki tatou i roto i a tatou, e tatari ana ki te whakatamarikitanga, ara ki te whakaoranga o o tatou tinana.

24 Na te tumanako hoki tatou i ora ai: tena ka kitea te mea e tumanakohia atu ana, kore ake te tumanako: ko wai oti e tumanako ki te mea e kitea nei e ia?

25 Ki te tumanako atu ia tatou ki te mea kahore nei e kitea, katahi ka ata taria mariretia atu e tatou.

26 Waihoki ko te wairua hei hoa mo tatou e ngoikore nei: kahore hoki tatou e matau me pehea e tika ai ta tatou inoi: otiia ko te Wairua tonu ano te inoi ana mo tatou ki ona aue e kore nei e taea te whakahua.

27 A, ko te kaititiro i nga ngakau, e mohio ana ki te hinengaro o te Wairua, ko tera hoki e inoi ana mo te hunga tapu i runga i ta te Atua i pai ai.

28 Na e matau ana tatou, kei te mahi tahi nga mea katoa i te pai mo te hunga e aroha ana ki te Atua, ara mo te hunga i karangatia i runga i tana i whakatakoto ai.

29 Ko ana hoki i mohio ai i mua, E whakaritea ano e ia i mua kia rite ki te ahua o tana Tama, kia ai ia hei maunga i roto i nga teina tokomaha.

30 A, ko ana i whakarite ai i mua, ko ena ano i karangatia e ia: a, ko ana i karanga ai, ko ena ano i whakatikaia e ia: a, ko ana i whakatika ai, ko ena ano i whakakororiatia e ia.

31 Na, kia pehea ta tatou korero ki enei mea? Ki te mea ko te Atua hei hoa mo tatou, ko wai hei whawhai ki a tatou?

32 Ko ia kihai nei i kaiponu i tana ake Tama, heoi tukua mai ana e ia mo tatou katoa, e kore ianei ia e tapiri noa mai ki a ia i nga mea katoa mo tatou?

33 Ko wai hei whakapa he ki a te Atua i whiriwhiri ai? Ko te Atua ra hei whakatika;

34 Ko wai ianei hei whakatau he? Ko Karaiti Ihu ra, i mate nei, ae rawa hoki, ko ia ra kua whakaarahia ake nei i te mate, a kei te ringa matau o te Atua, ko ia hoki kei te inoi mo tatou.

35 Ma wai tatou e momotu ke i te aroha o te Karaiti? Ma te whakapawera ranei, ma te mamae, ma te whakatoi, ma e matekai, ma te kakahukore, ma te mate ka tata, ma te hoari ranei?

36 Ko te mea hoki ia i tuhituhia, Na te whakaaro ki a koe matou i whakamatea ai i te ra roa nei; kiia ana matou hei hipi e patua ana.

37 Engari i enei mea katoa hira ake te wikitoria i a tatou, he mea nana i aroha nei ki a tatou.

38 U tonu hoki toku whakaaro, e kore te mate, te ora ranei, e kore nga anahera, nga rangatiratanga ranei, e kore nga mea onaianei, e kore nga mea e puta mai a mua, e kore nga mana,

39 E kore te tiketike, e kore te hohonu, e kore tetahi atu mea hanga, e kaha ki te momotu i a tatou i te aroha o te Atua, i tera i roto nei i a Karaiti Ihu, i to tatou Ariki.
