Aman, tej, Dios xoc quintlajtlacolmaca on yejhuan nemij san secan ihuan Cristo Jesús, yejhuan nohuicaj quen on Espíritu Santo quinequi niman xquen intlalnacayo quinequi. Itechcopa Jesucristo on tlanahuatijli yejhuan quisa itech on Espíritu Santo yonechmanahuij itech on tlanahuatijli de tlajtlacojli. On tlanahuatijli de tlajtlacojli nechhuicaya ipan miquilistli, pero aman on Espíritu Santo nechhuica ipan nemilistli. Itlanahuatil Moisés oquipoloj itequihuajyo pampa totlalnacayo xohuel oquitlacamat. Yejhua ica on tlen on tlanahuatijli xohuel oquichiu, Dios oquichiu ijcuac ocuajtitlan iConetzin yejhuan onochiu Tlacatl ican itlalnacayo quen totlalnacayo, tejhuamej yejhuan titlajtlacolejquej. Dios ocuajtitlan quen itlaj huentli para quipopolos tlajtlacojli. Ijcon, tej, oquixoxotonij ipoder on tlajtlacojli para tejhuamej yejhuan titohuicaj quen on Espíritu Santo techyacana, niman xquen totlalnacayo quinequi, tihuelij ticchihuaj on tlajtlamach yejhuan tlanahuatia on tlanahuatijli.

On yejhuan nohuicaj quen intlalnacayo quinequi sa ontlamatztoquej ipan on tlajtlamach yejhuan intlalnacayo quinequi, pero on yejhuan nohuicaj quen on Espíritu Santo quinequi sa ontlamatztoquej ipan on tlajtlamach yejhuan on Espíritu Santo quinequi. Tla ticomatzticaj on tlajtlamach yejhuan motlalnacayo quinequi, sa no yejhua mitzmictis, pero tla ticomatzticaj on tlajtlamach yejhuan on Espíritu Santo quinequi, sa no yejhua mitzmacas nemilistli niman yolsehuilistli. On yejhuan ontlamatztoquej ipan on tlajtlamach yejhuan intlalnacayo quinequi, tlahuelicniutin nemij ihuan Dios pampa nion xquinequij quitlacamatisquej itlanahuatil, nion xhuelij quitlacamatij. Yejhua ica, tej, on yejhuan nohuicaj quen intlalnacayo quinequi xhueli quipactiaj Dios.

Pero tla nenquipiaj on iEspíritu Dios ipan nemoyojlo, tla ijcon xnemohuicaj quen nemotlalnacayo quinequi, yej nemohuicaj quen on Espíritu quinequi. Niman tla yacaj xquipia iEspíritu Cristo, yejhua xteyaxca itech Cristo. 10 Pero tla Cristo yonenquiselijquej, nemoalma quipia nemilistli pampa Dios mechselia quen on yejhuan yolmelajquej, masqui nemotlalnacayo yomic ipampa on tlajtlacojli. 11 Niman tla nenquipiaj iEspíritu Dios on yejhuan oquiyolitij Jesús niman oquiquetzteu ipan itlalcon, no quimacas yejhua yencuic nemilistli nemomicatlalnacayo itechcopa iEspíritu yejhuan nenquipiaj.

12 Ijcon, tej, nocnihuan, nonequi titohuicasquej quen on Espíritu Santo quinequi, niman xquen totlalnacayo quinequi 13 pampa tla nemejhuamej nemohuicaj quen nemotlalnacayo quinequi, nemoalma miquis. Pero nemoalma quipias nemilistli tla itechcopa on Espíritu Santo nenquipopolohuaj on tlajtlacojli yejhuan nenquichihuaj. 14 Nochimej yejhuan quinyecana on Espíritu Santo, teconehuan itech Dios. 15 On Espíritu Santo yejhuan onenquiselijquej xmechhuica para nentlanamactin yesquej ocsejpa itech nemojtilistli, yej quichihua para nenteconehuan itech Dios. Yejhua ica tiquijtohuaj: “ToTajtzin.” 16 On Espíritu Santo niman toyojlo techijlia ica tiiconehuan Dios. 17 Niman tla titeconehuan itech Dios, ticselisquej on herencia yejhuan otechmelajcaijlij. In herencia ticselisquej ihuan Cristo tla ihuan titlajyohuiyaj para más saquin ticselisquej on hueyilistli yejhua ihuan.

18 Aman cuajli, nejhua niquita ica on tlen aman tiquijyohuiyaj xitlaj quijtosnequi tla tiquixtlalosquej ihuan on hueyilistli yejhuan saquin ticselisquej. 19 Nochi on tlen oncaj, on tlen Dios oquichijchiu, quichixtoquej niman sanoyej quinequisquiaj ma yecotetzi on tonajli ijcuac Dios quimpanextis on yejhuan iconehuan. 20 Nochi tlen Dios oquichijchiu oijtlacau. Pero ijcon onochiu xpampa on tlajtlamach ijqui oquinequej, yej pampa Dios ijqui yotlatlajtlalijca. Pero masqui ijqui onochiu, oc oncatca yejhua on tlamachalistli 21 ica onyas se tonajli ijcuac nochi tlen oncaj ipan in tlalticpactli xoc ijtlacahuis. Nochi tlajtlamach nomanahuis ijcon quen iconehuan Dios no nomanahuisquej. 22 Ticmatztoquej ica hasta aman nochi tlen Dios oquichijchiu nococohua niman choca quen se sihuatl ijcuac quitlacatilia se conetzintli. 23 Niman xsan yejhua on tlen Dios oquichijchiu tlajyohuiya, yej tejhuamej no yejhuan ye ticpiaj on Espíritu Santo quen achtoj parte de nochi on tlen Dios techtlayocolis. Tejhuamej no sanoyej titlajyohuiyaj chica ticchixtoquej ma yejcotetzi on tonajli ijcuac Dios techselis para tiiconehuan ijcuac ipan totlalnacayo xoc itlaj techpajsolos. 24 Yotimaquisquej pampa ticpiaj yejhua on tlamachalistli.

Pero sa no yejhua on Espíritu Santo quitlajtlanilia Dios topampa ican chochocalistli yejhuan xacaj hueli quijtohua ican tlajtojli tlinon quijtosnequi. 27 Niman Dios, yejhuan techyolixmati, quimati tlinon quijtosnequi on Espíritu, pampa on Espíritu quitlajtlanilia quen Dios quinequi impampa on yejhuan iyaxcahuan.

Life Through the Spirit

Therefore, there is now no condemnation(A) for those who are in Christ Jesus,(B) because through Christ Jesus(C) the law of the Spirit who gives life(D) has set you[a] free(E) from the law of sin(F) and death. For what the law was powerless(G) to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[b](H) God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh(I) to be a sin offering.[c](J) And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement(K) of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.(L)

Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires;(M) but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.(N) The mind governed by the flesh is death,(O) but the mind governed by the Spirit is life(P) and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God;(Q) it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh(R) cannot please God.

You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh(S) but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you.(T) And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,(U) they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you,(V) then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[d] because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead(W) is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies(X) because of[e] his Spirit who lives in you.

12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.(Y) 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die;(Z) but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body,(AA) you will live.(AB)

14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God(AC) are the children of God.(AD) 15 The Spirit(AE) you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again;(AF) rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[f] And by him we cry, “Abba,[g] Father.”(AG) 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit(AH) that we are God’s children.(AI) 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs(AJ)—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings(AK) in order that we may also share in his glory.(AL)

Present Suffering and Future Glory

18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.(AM) 19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God(AN) to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it,(AO) in hope 21 that[h] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay(AP) and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.(AQ)

22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning(AR) as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit,(AS) groan(AT) inwardly as we wait eagerly(AU) for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.(AV) 24 For in this hope we were saved.(AW) But hope that is seen is no hope at all.(AX) Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.(AY)

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(AZ) himself intercedes for us(BA) through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts(BB) knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes(BC) for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good(BD) of those who love him, who[i] have been called(BE) according to his purpose.(BF) 29 For those God foreknew(BG) he also predestined(BH) to be conformed to the image of his Son,(BI) that he might be the firstborn(BJ) among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined,(BK) he also called;(BL) those he called, he also justified;(BM) those he justified, he also glorified.(BN)

More Than Conquerors

31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things?(BO) If God is for us,(BP) who can be against us?(BQ) 32 He who did not spare his own Son,(BR) but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge(BS) against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns?(BT) No one. Christ Jesus who died(BU)—more than that, who was raised to life(BV)—is at the right hand of God(BW) and is also interceding for us.(BX) 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?(BY) Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?(BZ) 36 As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;
    we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[j](CA)

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors(CB) through him who loved us.(CC) 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[k] neither the present nor the future,(CD) nor any powers,(CE) 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God(CF) that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.(CG)
