sentence1: For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

sentence2: Ruma cꞌu laꞌ, riꞌin lic nujiquibam uwach na jinta cꞌana cojesan chirij ri rutzil ucꞌuꞌx ri Dios. Na cojresaj taj tob ne e ri camic o ri cꞌaslemal, tob ne e ri ángeles, ri cꞌo quiwach y ri cꞌo quichukꞌab. Na cojresaj taj tob ne e ri cojtajin che ucꞌulumaxic woꞌora o ri cakacꞌulumaj chikawach apanok,


sentence1: 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.

sentence2: tob ne e ri e cꞌo lo cꞌa che ruwa caj o ri e cꞌo lo cꞌa chuxeꞌ rulew. Na jinta cꞌu cꞌo ꞌanatal ruma ri Dios cojesan chirij ri rutzil ucꞌuꞌx, ri xkacꞌul ruma ri Cristo Jesús, ri Kanimajawal.

sentence1: No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

sentence2: Na rucꞌ ta cꞌu riꞌ, lic cakachꞌij uchukꞌab ronoje ruma ri Jun lic cꞌax xojunaꞌo.


sentence1: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

sentence2: ¿Cꞌo neba quesan keꞌoj chupa ri rutzil ucꞌuꞌx ri Cristo? ¡Na jintaj! Ma tob cape cꞌaxcꞌobic o paxibal cꞌuꞌx pakawiꞌ, tob cojternabex rucꞌ cꞌax, tob na jinta kawa y na jinta kakꞌuꞌ, tob catewun cꞌax pakawiꞌ o cojcamisax rucꞌ espada, ¡na jinta cꞌo cojesan chupa!


sentence1: 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.

sentence2: ¿China ri cꞌo pukꞌab cukꞌat tzij pakawiꞌ? ¡Na jinta junok! Ma ri Cristo cachꞌaw pakawiꞌ chwach ri Dios, yey e Rire ri xcam kuma riꞌoj. Y na xew ta waꞌ, ma xcꞌastaj lo chiquixoꞌl ri ecaminak y woꞌora tzꞌul puwiquikꞌab ri Dios.


sentence1: Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies.

sentence2: ¿China ri cꞌo pukꞌab cucoj quimac ri ebuchaꞌom ri Dios? ¡Na jinta junok! Ma ri Dios e caꞌanaw jusucꞌ chique.


sentence1: What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

sentence2: ¿Saꞌ cꞌu riꞌ ri cakabiꞌij che waꞌ? We ri Dios cꞌo kucꞌ, ¿china ri cꞌo pukꞌab cuyac rib chikij? ¡Na jinta junok!


sentence1: We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.

sentence2: Ketaꞌam cꞌut, janipa ri cꞌax quenaꞌw re ri Dios, e tak ronoje ri quebicꞌow chupa catoꞌbic chaꞌ cꞌo cutikoj chique, waꞌ e chique janipa ri esiqꞌuim ruma ri Dios re caquiꞌan ri caraj Rire.


sentence1: 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.

sentence2: Jecꞌulaꞌ, ri Ruxlabixel ri Dios cojutoꞌo echiriꞌ na jinta kacowil, ma riꞌoj na cakarik ta utzꞌonoxic saꞌ ri cajawax che ri kacꞌaslem; pero Rire lic cachꞌaw pakawiꞌ chwach ri Dios rucꞌ jilowem na carikitaj ta cꞌana ubiꞌxiquil.


sentence1: For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

sentence2: Are xka cuba ka cʼux che i Jesucrísto, ketaʼam chi xak ʼo i cu ya chake coʼon panok. Jun, we ʼo chic puʼab wach i royʼem, ¿wuchac ʼuri croyʼej mas? We ʼo chic ruʼ wach i royʼem, n-ta chic u chac croyʼej.


sentence1: But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.

sentence2: Noꞌj we riꞌoj cakoyꞌej na ri cꞌamajaꞌ cakilo, lic chirajawaxic cꞌu riꞌ cakachukꞌubej kib che royꞌexic waꞌ rucꞌ cubulibal kacꞌuꞌx.


sentence1: 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.

sentence2: Y na xew ta cꞌo pa cꞌax janipa ri ꞌanatal ruma ri Dios, ma jelaꞌ coj-jilow pa cꞌax konoje riꞌoj, ri yaꞌtal chi chike ri nabe sipanic ubiꞌtisim ri Dios, waꞌ e ri Ruxlabixel ri Dios pa kanimaꞌ.

sentence1: For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.

sentence2: Ketaꞌam cꞌut, e janipa ri ꞌanatal ruma ri Dios, e pachaꞌ cajilow pa cꞌaxcꞌobic, jelaꞌ pachaꞌ cuꞌan juna ixok echiriꞌ cutzir uwach rucꞌ uchꞌutiꞌn.


sentence1: that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

sentence2: Ma copon na jun kꞌij e janipa tak ri ꞌanatal ruma ri Dios, e laꞌ junam cucꞌ ri e ralcꞌoꞌal ri Dios, quebesax na lo chupa ri cꞌaxcꞌobic y pukꞌab ri camic yey cayaꞌiꞌ cꞌu unimal chomalil chique.


sentence1: For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

sentence2: Ma ri kꞌatbal tzij xuꞌan ri Dios paquiwi ri ticawex, xtzak ne puwi tak ri ꞌanatal ruma ri Dios. Y ruma cꞌu riꞌ, na e ta chi uꞌanom pachaꞌ ri uchꞌobom lo ri Dios che ri jekebal lok.

Pero e janipa tak ri ꞌanatal ruma ri Dios, cꞌa royeꞌem ri kꞌij echiriꞌ ri Dios cuyijbaꞌ na ronoje waꞌ.


sentence1: 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.

sentence2: Yey chinuwach riꞌin ri cꞌaxcꞌobic cakatij riꞌoj woꞌora na cuꞌmaja ta qꞌuenok rucꞌ runimal uchomalil ri Dios, ri cakꞌalajin kucꞌ chikawach apanok.


sentence1: 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.

sentence2: Yey ruma cꞌu oj ralcꞌoꞌal ri Dios, cakacꞌul ri biꞌtisinic uꞌanom ri Dios chique ri ralcꞌoꞌal, yey cakacꞌul cꞌu waꞌ junam rucꞌ ri Cristo. Pero lic chirajawaxic wi cakatij na cꞌax woꞌora pachaꞌ ri xicꞌow wi Rire, chaꞌ jelaꞌ chikawach apanok, oj jun pa ri yacbal ukꞌij Rire.


sentence1: 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.

sentence2: Ma we yaꞌom ib alak chupa waꞌ, riꞌ e cucꞌam lo ri camic pawiꞌ alak. Noꞌj we rucꞌ rutoꞌbal ri Ruxlabixel ri Dios cacamisaj alak tak ri rayibal re ri tiꞌjil alak, riꞌ cꞌo cꞌaslemal alak chwach ri Dios.


sentence1: 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.

sentence2: We cꞌo cꞌu pa animaꞌ alak ri Ruxlabixel ri Jun xucꞌastajisaj lo ri Kanimajawal Jesucristo chiquixoꞌl ri ecaminak, riꞌ cꞌo jun kꞌij Rire cuya jun cꞌacꞌ cꞌaslemal che ri cuerpo alak yey cuꞌan waꞌ ruma ri Ruxlabixel cꞌo pa animaꞌ alak.


sentence1: If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

sentence2: Noꞌj we cꞌo ri Cristo pa animaꞌ alak, riꞌ cꞌo chomilaj cꞌaslemal alak ruma ri uꞌanom alak jusucꞌ chwach ri Dios, tob ri cuerpo alak cacam na ruma ri mac.


sentence1: 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.

sentence2: Noꞌj ralak na yaꞌom ta chi ib alak chupa waꞌ wa rayibal, ma e yaꞌom ib alak pukꞌab ri Ruxlabixel ri Dios, we pakatzij wi cꞌo Rire pa animaꞌ alak. Yey we cꞌo cꞌu junok na jinta ri Ruxlabixel ri Cristo pa ranimaꞌ, waꞌ wa ticawex na re ta ri Cristo.


sentence1: because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward God, for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.

sentence2: E janipa ri kiyaꞌom kinaꞌoj xew puwi taq ri rayibꞌal re ri kitiꞌjil, riꞌ e aj retzelal kꞌuꞌx chirij ri Dios. Ma rike na kakaj taj kakiya kibꞌ che uꞌanik ri Tzij Pixabꞌ re ri Dios, yey na kakichꞌij tane uꞌanik waꞌ.


sentence1: Those who are in the flesh can’t please God.

sentence2: Ecꞌu ri Dios lic na cucꞌul ta ucꞌuꞌx ri quibinic quisilabic janipa ri quiyaꞌom quib chupa ri rayibal re ri na utz taj.


sentence1: For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

sentence2: Ma we e lic cakaya kanaꞌoj puwi tak ri rayibal re ri katiꞌjil, riꞌ camic ri cucꞌam lo chike. Noꞌj we e lic cakaya kanaꞌoj puwi janipa ri caraj ri Ruxlabixel ri Dios chike, riꞌ cucꞌam lo cꞌaslemal y utzil chomal chike.


sentence1: 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.

sentence2: Ma e tak ri quiyaꞌom quib che tak ri rayibal re ri quitiꞌjil, e caquiya quinaꞌoj puwi ri rayibal na chom taj. Noꞌj janipa ri quiyaꞌom quib pukꞌab ri Ruxlabixel ri Dios, riꞌ e quiyaꞌom quinaꞌoj puwi janipa ri caraj ri Ruxlabixel ri Dios.


sentence1: that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

sentence2: Xuꞌan cꞌu waꞌ chaꞌ utz cojbin jusucꞌ chwach ri Dios jelaꞌ pachaꞌ ri cubiꞌij ri Tzij Pixab; ma riꞌoj na e ta chi katakem ri rayibal re ri na utz taj, e katakem saꞌ ri caraj ri Ruxlabixel ri Dios chike.


sentence1: 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,

sentence2: Yey rutakanic ri Tzij Pixab na jinta uchukꞌab re cojresaj lo pukꞌab ri mac, ma riꞌoj oj ticawex na jinta kacowil chwa ri mac. Ecꞌu ri na xuchꞌij ta uꞌanic ri Tzij Pixab, ri Dios xuꞌano echiriꞌ xutak lo Rucꞌajol che ruwachulew tojbal re ri kamac, y xuꞌan ticawex che jelaꞌ pachaꞌ riꞌoj, noꞌj Rire na xmacun taj. Jecꞌulaꞌ, ruma rucamic jun ticawex, waꞌ e ri Jesús, ri Dios xukꞌat tzij puwi ri kamac.


sentence1: For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

sentence2: Ma ri Ruxlabixel ri Dios cuya chomilaj cꞌaslemal ruma ri Kanimajawal Jesucristo, y e rutakanic ri Ruxlabixel ri Dios pa kanimaꞌ ri xojesan lo chupa ruchukꞌab ri mac y ri camic.


sentence1: 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.

sentence2: Ecꞌu woꞌora na jinta chi kꞌatbal tzij re camic paquiwi janipa ri e cꞌo pukꞌab ri Kanimajawal Jesucristo; waꞌ e ri na quitakem ta chi ri rayibal re ri na utz taj, ma e quitakem saꞌ ri caraj ri Ruxlabixel ri Dios chique.


sentence1: I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord! So then with the mind, I myself serve God’s law, but with the flesh, sin’s law.

sentence2: Lic cantioxij che ri Dios, ma xew Rire catoꞌw weꞌin, yey cuꞌan waꞌ ruma ri Jesucristo, ri Kanimajawal. Jecꞌulaꞌ canmaj usucꞌ lic chirajawaxic canya wib pukꞌab rutakanic Rutzij Upixab ri Dios; noꞌj echiriꞌ canya wib pukꞌab ri rayinic re ri nucuerpo, riꞌ e catakan ruchukꞌab ri mac panuwiꞌ.


sentence1: What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

sentence2: ¡Lic tokꞌoꞌ nuwach riꞌin! ¿China quesan we riꞌin pukꞌab ri na utz taj cꞌo chwe, ri quincꞌamaw bi pa camic?


sentence1: but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.

sentence2: Pero cannaꞌo cꞌo jun chic tzij catakan chwi ri nucuerpo; waꞌ e ruchukꞌab ri mac. Ecꞌu waꞌ cachꞌoꞌjinic chaꞌ na cancoj ta utzij ri cubiꞌij ri nunaꞌoj y jecꞌulaꞌ inyututal pa mac.


sentence1: For I delight in God’s law after the inward person,

sentence2: Na rucꞌ ta cꞌu riꞌ, cunaꞌ ri wanimaꞌ e lic chom rutakanic Rutzij Upixab ri Dios y lic quinquiꞌcot che waꞌ.


sentence1: But if what I don’t desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

sentence2: Jecꞌulaꞌ riꞌ, we e canꞌan ri na cuaj taj, riꞌ na in ta ri quinꞌanaw re, ma e ri mac catakan pa wanimaꞌ ri caꞌanaw re.


sentence1: For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practice.

sentence2: Ma na canꞌan ta ri utz, ri lic cuaj canꞌano; e lic canꞌan ri na utz taj, ri na cuaj taj canꞌano.


sentence1: For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good.

sentence2: Riꞌin lic wetaꞌam, wa in ticawex na jinta cꞌana utz chwe we na jinta ri Dios wucꞌ. Ma tob cuaj canꞌan ri utz, pero nutuquel na canrik ta uꞌanic waꞌ.


sentence1: So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

sentence2: Jelaꞌ cꞌu riꞌ e pachaꞌ na in ta ri quinꞌanaw re ri na utz taj, ma e catakan ri mac pa wanimaꞌ.


sentence1: But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.

sentence2: Yey echiriꞌ e canꞌan ri na cuaj taj, cannaꞌ cꞌu riꞌ chinucꞌuꞌx na utz ta ri quintajin che uꞌanic. Rucꞌ cꞌu riꞌ waꞌ canjiquibaꞌ uwach lic utz ri takanic re ri Tzij Pixab.


sentence1: For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

sentence2: Na canꞌan ta cꞌu riꞌ ri cuaj riꞌin canꞌano; ma e ri tzel canwilo, e canꞌan riꞌ. Lic na canmaj ta cꞌu usucꞌ suꞌbe canꞌan waꞌ.


sentence1: For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

sentence2: Ketaꞌam chi cꞌut, ri Tzij Pixab petinak rucꞌ ri Dios. Noꞌj riꞌin xa wekam wulewal nupoklajil, yey in yaꞌtal cꞌu pukꞌab ri mac.


sentence1: Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, was producing death in me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceedingly sinful.

sentence2: Pero ¿e nawi keꞌeloq e ri utz xukꞌam lo kamik panuwiꞌ? ¡Na e ta riꞌ! Ma ri mak e xuchapabꞌej ri utz y rukꞌ waꞌ xukꞌam lo kamik panuwiꞌ. Ruma kꞌu riꞌ ri taqanik re ri Tzij Pixabꞌ, xa jumul kaqꞌalajinik lik itzel uwach ri mak.


sentence1: Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, righteous, and good.

sentence2: Cakꞌalajin cꞌu riꞌ ri Tzij Pixab re ri Dios lic santo yey tak ri takanic re ri Tzij Pixab lic santo, lic jusucꞌ y lic utz.


sentence1: for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.

sentence2: Ma ri mac e xuchapabej ri takanic y rucꞌ cꞌu waꞌ, xinusoco y jelaꞌ xucꞌam lo ri camic panuwiꞌ.


sentence1: The commandment which was for life, this I found to be for death;

sentence2: E chinuwach riꞌin, ri takanic re ri Tzij Pixab e cayaꞌw cꞌaslemal; noꞌj ri xuya chwe riꞌin, e ri camic.


sentence1: I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.

sentence2: E ri petinak lok echiriꞌ riꞌin cꞌamajaꞌ canmaj usucꞌ ri Tzij Pixab, na jinta cꞌo cubisoj nucꞌuꞌx che. Pero xopon jun kꞌij echiriꞌ xinwetaꞌmaj saꞌ ri takanic re ri Tzij Pixab panuwiꞌ. Cꞌa chiriꞌ cꞌu riꞌ xumaj uchukꞌab ri mac panuwiꞌ; y xinmaj cꞌu usucꞌ in caminak chwach ri Dios ruma ri numac.


sentence1: But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

sentence2: Ruma cꞌu riꞌ ri takanic, ri mac cucꞌosoj ronoje itzel rayinic chupa ri wanimaꞌ. We tamaji cꞌu ri takanic, ri mac na jinta uchukꞌab panuwiꞌ.


sentence1: What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”

sentence2: ¿Saꞌ cꞌu riꞌ ri cakabiꞌij? ¿E neba queꞌelok ri Tzij Pixab na utz taj ma cucꞌam lo ri mac? ¡Na e ta cꞌana riꞌ! Ma riꞌin xinwetaꞌmaj saꞌ ri mac ruma ri Tzij Pixab; yey we tamaji ri Tzij Pixab, na canwetaꞌmaj ta cꞌu riꞌ saꞌ ri mac. Ma riꞌin na wetaꞌam taj we mac ri rayinic we tamaji ri Tzij Pixab cubiꞌij: «Marayij uwach ri na awe taj.»


sentence1: Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might produce fruit to God.

sentence2: Jecꞌulaꞌ ralak alak nu hermanos, caminak chi alak chwach tak ri Tzij Pixab ruma rucamic ri Cristo. Waꞌ queꞌelawi na e ta chi ri Tzij Pixab ri catakan pawiꞌ alak. Ruma cꞌu riꞌ, utz cuꞌan alak re jun chic, waꞌ e ri Cristo, ri xcꞌastaj lo chiquixoꞌl ri ecaminak. Jecꞌulaꞌ ri kabinic lic cꞌo cutikoj chwach ri Dios ruma oj cꞌo pukꞌab ri Cristo.


sentence1: For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.

sentence2: Cu bij i ʼatbal tzij chi jun ixok ʼo puʼab i rachijil are je cʼaslic, xui-ri, we xcam i rachijil, i ixok n-ta chic ʼatbal tzij puwi re i cʼulanquil.


sentence1: So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.

sentence2: Jecꞌulaꞌ riꞌ, we rixok cuyoj rib rucꞌ jun chic achi yey cꞌa cꞌas ri rachijil, riꞌ cabiꞌx che e jun ixok na jusucꞌ ta rubinic ma camacun chirij ri tzij re ri cꞌulaniquil. Noꞌj we xcam ri rachijil, rixok quel chuxeꞌ rutakanic wa tzij; na camacun ta cꞌu riꞌ chirij ri cꞌulaniquil we cacꞌuliꞌ rucꞌ jun chic achi.


sentence1: Or don’t you know, brothers (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man for as long as he lives?

sentence2: Kinchꞌaꞌt ukꞌ alaq hermanos, ri kꞌo naꞌoj alaq puwi taqanik. Etaꞌam kꞌu alaq waꞌ: Ri taqanik xew kꞌo uchuqꞌabꞌ puwi juna tikawex echiriꞌ wa tikawex kꞌa kꞌaslik.


sentence1: For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

sentence2: Ma ri tojbal re ri mac e ri camic, noꞌj ri sipanic cuya ri Dios e ri cꞌaslemal na jinta utakexic ruma ri Kanimajawal Jesucristo.


sentence1: But now, being made free from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification and the result of eternal life.

sentence2: Ecꞌu woꞌora ruma alak esam chi lo pukꞌab ri mac, xuꞌana cꞌu alak aj chaquib re ri Dios. Ri xutikoj waꞌ che alak e ri santowilaj binic silabic alak; yey qꞌuisbal cꞌu re, e ri cꞌaslemal na jinta utakexic.


sentence1: I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.

sentence2: Xinya wa cꞌambal naꞌoj puwi ri patrón y ri aj chaquib chaꞌ cakꞌalajin ri cambiꞌij y na cꞌayew taj camaj alak usucꞌ. Cambiꞌij cꞌu che alak: Jelaꞌ pachaꞌ rojertan xya alak ronoje ri uchapom wi rib ri cuerpo alak che uꞌanic ri lic chꞌul y ri lic itzel uwach, jecꞌuriꞌlaꞌ woꞌora yaꞌa alak ronoje ri uchapom wi rib ri cuerpo alak che uꞌanic janipa ri lic chom y lic jusucꞌ chwach ri Dios.


sentence1: Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.

sentence2: Ruma cꞌu ri xel lo alak pukꞌab ri mac, woꞌora e xyaꞌ ib alak che uꞌanic ri lic jusucꞌ chwach ri Dios.


sentence1: But thanks be to God that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were delivered.

sentence2: Lic maltiox cꞌu che ri Dios, ma tob ojertan xyaꞌ ib alak pukꞌab ri mac che uꞌanic tak ri rayibal alak; noꞌj woꞌora rucꞌ ronoje cꞌuꞌx alak yaꞌom ib alak che uꞌanic tak ri sakil cꞌutunic xyaꞌ che alak.


sentence1: Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

sentence2: ¿Na etaꞌam ta neba alak we caya ib alak pukꞌab junok che uꞌanic janipa ri caraj rire, riꞌ e cuꞌana patrón alak y chirajawaxic cꞌu riꞌ cacoj alak utzij? Jecꞌuriꞌlaꞌ we caya ib alak pukꞌab ri mac che uꞌanic ri na utz taj, riꞌ cucꞌam bi alak pa camic. Noꞌj echiriꞌ caya ib alak pukꞌab ri Dios re cacoj alak utzij, waꞌ cucꞌam bi alak che jun jusucꞌ binic silabic.


sentence1: What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!

sentence2: ¿Saꞌ cꞌu riꞌ ri cakaꞌano? ¿Cojmacun cami riꞌ ma ri kꞌatbal tzij re rutakanic ri Dios na jinta chi pakawiꞌ yey e oj cꞌo pukꞌab ri Dios ruma ri unimal rutzil ucꞌuꞌx Rire? ¡Na e ta cꞌana riꞌ!


sentence1: Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

sentence2: E uwariꞌche lic maya alak luwar catakan ri mac puwi ri cuerpo alak, ma waꞌ xa icꞌowel. Maya ne ib alak chupa tak ri rayibal na utz ta uwach.


sentence1: Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

sentence2: Maya ne ri cuerpo alak pukꞌab ri mac che uꞌanic ri na jusucꞌ taj. E yaꞌa ib alak pukꞌab ri Dios, ma alak caminak chi chwa ri mac y alak cꞌas che jun cꞌacꞌ binic silabic. Yaꞌa cꞌu alak riꞌ ri cuerpo alak pukꞌab ri Dios chaꞌ rucꞌ waꞌ caꞌan alak ri lic jusucꞌ chwach.


sentence1: For sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.

sentence2: Ma ri mac na jinta chi uchukꞌab re catakan pawiꞌ alak y na jinta chi ne alak chuxeꞌ ri kꞌatbal tzij re rutakanic ri Dios tzꞌibital can ruma ri Moisés, ma woꞌora cꞌo alak pukꞌab ri Dios ruma ri unimal rutzil ucꞌuꞌx Rire.


sentence1: Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

sentence2: Jecꞌuriꞌlaꞌ cꞌola chicꞌuꞌx ralak e pachaꞌ alak caminak chi chwach ri mac yey alak cꞌaslic re calokꞌnimaj alak ri Dios, ma alak re ri Cristo Jesús, ri Kanimajawal.


sentence1: For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

sentence2: Ma rucꞌ rucamic xa jumul xusachisaj uwach ruchukꞌab ri mac; yey ruma cꞌu xcꞌastajic, e culokꞌnimaj ri Dios rucꞌ rucꞌaslemal.


sentence1: knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!

sentence2: Lic ketaꞌam cꞌut, ri Cristo ruma xcꞌastaj lo chiquixoꞌl ri ecaminak, na cacam ta chic, ma ri camic na jinta chi uchukꞌab puwi Rire.


sentence1: For he who has died has been freed from sin.

sentence2: Ma e junok caminak chi che ri mac, riꞌ na jinta chi uchukꞌab ri mac puwiꞌ.


sentence1: knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.

sentence2: Lic cꞌut ketaꞌam e ri ojer kabinic kasilabic xcam rucꞌ ri Cristo chwa ri cruz chaꞌ jelaꞌ casach uwach ruchukꞌab ri mac pakawiꞌ y jecꞌulaꞌ ri mac na catakan ta chi pakawiꞌ riꞌoj.


sentence1: For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;

sentence2: Ma we xꞌan xa jun chike rucꞌ ri Cristo chupa rucamic, jecꞌulaꞌ riꞌ xa jun kaꞌanom rucꞌ chupa rucꞌastajibal.


sentence1: May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?

sentence2: ¡N-queje ti ile! Yoj xa pacha oj camnak chic, man i mac atzalal n-ta chic re chake. ¿Wuchac ʼuri caka ya tan chic kib che i macunic?


sentence1: Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

sentence2: ¿N-iwetaʼam ta ba-ri: are xkajsax ya pakawi, xoj ʼelok ʼo re i Jesucrísto chake? Y we ʼo re ire chake, xeʼel ʼuri junam xoj cam ruʼ.


sentence1: We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

sentence2: Ruma cꞌu ri bautismo xkacꞌulu, e pachaꞌ junam rucꞌ ri Cristo xojcamic y xojmukic, chaꞌ jelaꞌ cojcꞌastaj lo che jun cꞌacꞌ kabinic jelaꞌ pachaꞌ ri Cristo xcꞌastaj lo chiquixoꞌl ri ecaminak ruma runimal uchukꞌab ri Kakaw Dios.


sentence2: Are xkajsax ya pakawi, are ʼuri xoj muk junam ruʼ i Jesucrísto, pacha oj camnak chic, man coj walij tan chic che jun cʼaslemal cʼacʼ. Ile xak jun ruʼ pacha ʼantal che i Crísto, chi xwalijsax chiquixol i camnak rumal i loʼlaj u choʼab i Ta.


sentence1: What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

sentence2: ¿Saꞌ cꞌu riꞌ ri cakabiꞌij riꞌoj? ¿Cꞌa cojcꞌojiꞌ cami riꞌ pa mac chaꞌ ri Dios e lic cunimarisaj ri unimal rutzil ucꞌuꞌx pakawiꞌ echiriꞌ cucuy ri kamac?


sentence1: that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

sentence2: E jelaꞌ pachaꞌ ri mac cꞌo uchukꞌab chaꞌ cucꞌam lo camic paquiwi conoje ri winak; jecꞌulaꞌ riꞌ ri unimal rutzil ucꞌuꞌx ri Dios cꞌo uchukꞌab chaꞌ cuꞌan jusucꞌ chique ri winak chwach ri Dios, y jelaꞌ cꞌo quicꞌaslemal na jinta utakexic ruma Jesucristo, ri Kanimajawal.


sentence1: The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly,

sentence2: Ecꞌu ri Dios xuya Rutzij Upixab che ri Moisés chaꞌ jelaꞌ cakꞌalajin ruqꞌuiyal uwach ri mac. Y e xuꞌano, ma rucꞌ wa Tzij xkꞌalajin ruqꞌuiyal quimac ri winak chwach ri Dios. Yey ecꞌuchiriꞌ más xemacun ri winak, e ne más xnimar ri unimal rutzil ucꞌuꞌx ri Dios paquiwiꞌ.


sentence1: For as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.

sentence2: Yey xa ruma cꞌu jun chi achi xupalajij rutzij ri Dios, lic e qꞌui ri xebuꞌan aj maquib; jecꞌuriꞌlaꞌ, ruma jun chi Achi xucoj utzij ri Dios, lic e qꞌui ri quebuꞌan jusucꞌ chwach.


sentence1: For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.

sentence2: Xa cꞌu ruma rupalajibal tzij jun chi achi, conoje ri winak xecanaj can chuxeꞌ ruchukꞌab ri camic. Yey ruma cꞌu jun chi Achi, waꞌ e ri Kanimajawal Jesucristo, janipa ri quicꞌulum ri unimal rutzil ucꞌuꞌx ri Dios y ri sipanic re quebuꞌan jusucꞌ chwach, quejekiꞌ chupa jun chomilaj cꞌaslemal.


sentence1: The gift is not as through one who sinned; for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift followed many trespasses to justification.

sentence2: Ecꞌu ri xucꞌam lo ri mac re ri jun achi, lic junwi chwa ri xucꞌam lo ri sipanic cuya ri Dios chike. Ma ruma jun chi mac re jun chi achi, xcꞌun ri kꞌatbal tzij paquiwi conoje ri ticawex. Noꞌj ruma ri sipanic re ri Dios, casachisax uwach ri uqꞌuiyal mac que ri ticawex chaꞌ jelaꞌ utz quecꞌojiꞌ jusucꞌ chwach ri Dios.


sentence1: But the free gift isn’t like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.

sentence2: Pero ri xucꞌam lo ri palajibal tzij re ri Adán lic junwi chwa ri sipanic xucꞌam lo ri Kanimajawal Jesucristo. Ma ruma rupalajibal tzij jun chi achi, xecam conoje ri winak; yey ruma cꞌu ri unimal rutzil ucꞌuꞌx jun chi Achi, ri sipanic re ri unimal rutzil ucꞌuꞌx ri Dios más ne xnimar paquiwi uqꞌuiyal ticawex.


sentence1: For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.

sentence2: Echiriꞌ ri Dios cꞌamajaꞌ ne cuya Rutzij Upixab che ri Moisés, ri mac oquinak chi che ruwachulew. Katzij, we na jinta takanic, na utz taj cabiꞌxic cꞌo junok xupalajij tzij.


sentence1: Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren’t like Adam’s disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.

sentence2: Na rucꞌ ta cꞌu riꞌ, chwi lo ri Adán cꞌa chwa ri Moisés, tak ri winak xecam ruma ri quimac, tob ri quimac na junam ta rucꞌ ri xuꞌan ri Adán echiriꞌ xupalajij ri takanic re ri Dios. Yey ri Adán e pachaꞌ ri Jun cacꞌunic, waꞌ e ri Jesucristo.


sentence2: I mac atzalal ʼax ʼo wi are xoc li ʼatbal tzij chi tzʼibtal rumal i mam Moises. Rumal-i, ca tijin qui camic i winak cʼa chu petic lok che i Adan. Xe camic, tupu n-ta jun tzij xqui kelo pacha xoʼon i Adan. I Adan laj ca majaw i jun chi ca cʼunic. (Are i xoʼon i Adan, xe u maj u qʼuial winak; y are xoʼon i Jesucrísto, xak xe u maj u qʼuial winak.)


sentence1: Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so death passed to all men because all sinned.

sentence2: Ri mac xoc lo che ruwachulew ruma ri Adán, ri nabe achi; yey ri mac e xucꞌam lo ri camic. Jecꞌulaꞌ xpe ri camic paquiwi conoje ri ticawex, ma conoje xemacunic.


sentence1: Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

sentence2: Y na xew ta waꞌ, ma lic cojquiꞌcot rucꞌ ri Dios ruma ri Kanimajawal Jesucristo, ma ruma Rire karikom utzil chomal chwach ri Dios.


sentence1: For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.

sentence2: E rojertan riꞌoj oj aj retzelal cꞌuꞌx chirij ri Dios; na rucꞌ ta cꞌu riꞌ, ri Dios xojuya chi utzil chomal chwach ruma rucamic Rucꞌajol. Macꞌuwariꞌ we oj cꞌo chi pa utzil chomal chwach, cayaꞌtaj na cꞌu riꞌ ri kacolobetajic ruma ri Cristo, ma Rire xcꞌastaj lo chiquixoꞌl ri ecaminak yey woꞌora cꞌaslic.


sentence1: Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.

sentence2: We xꞌaniꞌ cꞌu jusucꞌ chike ruma ruquiqꞌuel, macꞌuwariꞌ ruma Rire cojcolobetaj na chwach ri kꞌatbal tzij cuꞌan ri Dios chupa ri qꞌuisbal kꞌij.


sentence1: For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a good person someone would even dare to die.

sentence2: Lic cꞌayew carikitaj junok cuya rib pa camic pucꞌaxel jun chic lic jusucꞌ rubinic usilabic; tob ne laj cꞌo junok cuya ranimaꞌ cacam pucꞌaxel junok lic utz ucꞌuꞌx.


sentence1: For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

sentence2: Ma riꞌoj na jinta cꞌana kachukꞌab re cakacolobej kib; yey chupa cꞌu rukꞌijol uchaꞌom chi lo ri Dios, xcꞌun ri Cristo y xuya rib pa camic chaꞌ cojucolobej ri oj aj maquib.


sentence1: and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

sentence2: Lic cꞌu jiquil uwach cakacꞌul na ri koyeꞌem che ri Dios, ma Rire lic ucꞌutum ri rutzil ucꞌuꞌx chike ruma ri Santowilaj Ruxlabixel uyaꞌom pa kanimaꞌ.


sentence1: and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;

sentence2: Ruma cꞌu runimal kacꞌuꞌx cojelic utz kaꞌanom chwach ri Dios, ma xkachꞌij uchukꞌab ri cꞌambal kapa. Yey we xojelic utz kaꞌanom chwach ri Dios, e lic cacubiꞌ pan kacꞌuꞌx rucꞌ Rire.


sentence1: Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;

sentence2: Y na xew ta waꞌ, ma lic ne cojquiꞌcotic echiriꞌ cape cꞌaxcꞌobic pakawiꞌ. Ma ketaꞌam we xkachꞌij uchukꞌab ri cꞌaxcꞌobic, lic cacꞌojiꞌ unimal kacꞌuꞌx.


sentence1: Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

sentence2: Ri Dios xuꞌan jusucꞌ chike ruma ri cubulibal kacꞌuꞌx rucꞌ; ecꞌu woꞌora oj cꞌo chi utzil chomal rucꞌ Rire ruma ri Kanimajawal Jesucristo.


sentence1: through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

sentence2: Yey ruma ri Cristo, xyaꞌ chike cojoc chwach ri Dios ruma ri cubulibal kacꞌuꞌx y jelaꞌ cakacꞌul ri unimal rutzil ucꞌuꞌx pa oj tiquil wi chi utz. Yey lic cojquiꞌcotic ma koyeꞌem queꞌkila na runimal uchomalil ri Dios.


sentence2: Xa rumal u cubibal ka cʼux-le, oj ocnak che i rutzil i Dios, y coj qʼuiji che. Lic coj quicotic man cul ka cʼux che chi ʼo na ke che u ʼij u chomal i Dios.


sentence1: who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

sentence2: Ecꞌu ri Jesús xyaꞌ pa camic ruma ri kamac riꞌoj y xcꞌastaj bi churox kꞌij chaꞌ jelaꞌ cojuꞌana jusucꞌ chwach ri Dios.


sentence1: but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

sentence2: ma e pakawiꞌ ne riꞌoj. Ma ri Dios cuꞌan jusucꞌ chike riꞌoj ri cacubiꞌ kacꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Jun xucꞌastajisaj lo ri Jesús, ri Kanimajawal.


sentence1: Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,

sentence2: Ecꞌuchiriꞌ Ruchꞌaꞌtem ri Dios cubiꞌij: «Xꞌaniꞌ jusucꞌ che ruma ri cubulibal ucꞌuꞌx,» waꞌ na xew ta puwi ri Abraham xtzꞌibax wi;


sentence1: Therefore it also was “credited to him for righteousness.”

sentence2: Y ruma cꞌu ri cubulibal ucꞌuꞌx, xꞌaniꞌ jusucꞌ che.


sentence1: and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.

sentence2: ma lic ujiquibam ucꞌuꞌx e ri Dios cꞌo uchukꞌab re cuꞌan ronoje rubiꞌtisim.


sentence1: Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,

sentence2: Na rucꞌ ta cꞌu riꞌ, na queb ta ne upa xucoj ri xubiꞌtisij ri Dios che, ma e lic xuchukꞌubej rib che ri cubulibal ucꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Dios. Lic cꞌu xuyac ukꞌij ri Dios,


sentence1: Without being weakened in faith, he didn’t consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.

sentence2: Y na xkꞌob ta ri cubulibal ucꞌuꞌx tob retaꞌam rucuerpo e pachaꞌ caminak chic ma ya copon pa jun ciento rujunab y retaꞌam ri rixokil Sara na calan taj.


sentence1: As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.

sentence2: chwach ri Dios, jelaꞌ pachaꞌ ri tzꞌibital can pa Ruchꞌaꞌtem ri Dios: «Nuꞌanom chawe at quikaw ticawex che uqꞌuiyal tinamit» xchaꞌ. Ri Dios xubiꞌij waꞌ che ri Abraham, yey rire xucojo; ma lic xcubiꞌ ucꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Dios, ri cuya cꞌaslemal chique ri ecaminak y cachꞌaꞌt chwi ri cꞌamajaꞌ cuꞌano pachaꞌ chi ya uꞌanom chic.


sentence1: For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may be sure to all the offspring, not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.

sentence2: Ruma tak waꞌ, ri ticawex caquicꞌul rubiꞌtisim ri Dios xew ruma ri cubulibal quicꞌuꞌx rucꞌ Rire. Kꞌalaj cꞌu riꞌ, wa sipanic xa e ruma ri unimal rutzil ucꞌuꞌx Rire, chaꞌ jelaꞌ cꞌo paquikꞌab conoje ri ralcꞌoꞌal ri Abraham caquicꞌul na ri biꞌtisim chique ruma ri Dios. Yey e ralcꞌoꞌal ri Abraham na xew ta ri cꞌo ri Tzij Pixab re ri Moisés paquikꞌab, ma e ralcꞌoꞌal conoje ri cubul quicꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Dios jelaꞌ pachaꞌ ri xuꞌan ri Abraham. Ecꞌu rire e kakaw konoje riꞌoj


sentence1: For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.

sentence2: We ta e laꞌ cꞌo paquikꞌab tak ri winak caquicꞌul rubiꞌtisim ri Dios ruma caquiꞌan ronoje ri takanic re ri Tzij Pixab, na jinta cꞌu cutikoj riꞌ ri cubulibal quicꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Dios, yey na jinta ne uchac riꞌ rubiꞌtisim ri Dios, ma na jinta junok curik uꞌanic ronoje ri takanic.


sentence1: For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.

sentence2: Ma ri Tzij Pixab e cucꞌam lo ri kꞌatbal tzij paquiwi ri e aj palajiy tzij. Pero we ta e laꞌ na jinta takanic, na jinta aj palajiy tzij riꞌ.


sentence1: For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring that he would be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

sentence2: Ri Dios xubiꞌtisij che ri Abraham y chique conoje ri e ralcꞌoꞌal canok, cuꞌan na que rique ronoje ruwachulew. Pero wa biꞌtisinic na xꞌan ta che ri Abraham ruma xutakej ri takanic re ri Tzij Pixab, ma e ruma lic xcubiꞌ ucꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Dios. Ruma cꞌu riꞌ, ri Dios xuꞌan jusucꞌ che.


sentence1: He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.

sentence2: Ri kikojom ri retalil re circuncisión e ralkꞌoꞌal kan ri Abraham; pero xew taqal chike kakibꞌiꞌij kiqaw che rire we kakikꞌut ri kubꞌulibꞌal kikꞌuꞌx rukꞌ ri Dios che ri kibꞌinik kisilabꞌik, pachaꞌ ri xuꞌan ri qamam Abraham echiriꞌ kꞌamajaꞌ ne kukoj ri retalil re circuncisión.


sentence1: He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.

sentence2: Wa retalil re circuncisión ucojom e cꞌutubal re ri cubulibal ucꞌuꞌx, ri xucꞌutu echiriꞌ cꞌamajaꞌ cucoj waꞌ. Ruma cꞌu laꞌ, xeꞌelok e rire ri quikaw conoje ri cacubiꞌ quicꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Dios, tob na xcoj tane waꞌ wa retalil re circuncisión chique. Jecꞌulaꞌ, ruma ri cubulibal quicꞌuꞌx caꞌan jusucꞌ chique chwach ri Dios.


sentence1: How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

sentence2: ¿Jampa nawi xꞌan jusucꞌ che ri Abraham? ¿Cꞌa e nawi echiriꞌ ucojom chi ri retalil re circuncisión? ¡Na e taj! Ma cꞌamajaꞌ ne cucoj waꞌ echiriꞌ ri Dios xuꞌan jusucꞌ che; tecꞌuchiriꞌ xcoj ri retalil re circuncisión che.


sentence1: Is this blessing then pronounced only on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

sentence2: Echiriꞌ cubiꞌij «nim quikꞌij calaxic», ¿xew nawi cachꞌaꞌt paquiwi ri quicojom ri retalil re circuncisión? ¡Na xew taj! Ma cachꞌaꞌt paquiwi ri quicojom ri retalil re circuncisión y paquiwi ri na quicojom taj. Yey kabiꞌim puwi ri Abraham: Xꞌaniꞌ jusucꞌ che rire ruma ri cubulibal ucꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Dios.


sentence1: Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.”

sentence2: ¡Nim cꞌu quikꞌij calaxic ri ticawex na jinta chi ri kꞌatbal tzij re ri Dios paquiwiꞌ! xchaꞌ.


sentence1: “Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

sentence2: ma jewaꞌ xubiꞌij: ¡Nim quikꞌij calaxic ri ticawex cuytajinak chi quimac y sachom chi uwach ri na utz taj quiꞌanom!


sentence1: Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:

sentence2: Yey ri David ubiꞌim canok nim quikꞌij calaxic ri ticawex we ri Dios cuꞌan jusucꞌ chique y waꞌ na e ta ruma juna chac quiꞌanom,


sentence1: But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

sentence2: Noꞌj na je ta cꞌu laꞌ echiriꞌ ri Dios cuꞌan jusucꞌ che junok. Ma waꞌ e jun sipanic re ri Dios, na e ta tojbal re juna chac ꞌanatalic. Ma juna ticawex na cuꞌan ta jusucꞌ che rib ruma lic cachacunic; e caꞌan jusucꞌ che xew ruma ri cubulibal ucꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Dios, ri caꞌanaw jusucꞌ chique raj maquib.


sentence1: Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.

sentence2: Echiriꞌ juna aj chac cachacunic, cayaꞌiꞌ ri takal che; yey waꞌ na e ta jun sipanic, ma uchꞌacom chic.


sentence1: For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

sentence2: Ma ¿saꞌ ri cubiꞌij Ruchꞌaꞌtem ri Dios? Jewaꞌ cubiꞌij: Ri Abraham xucojo ri Dios e cuꞌana janipa ri xubiꞌtisij che y ruma cꞌu riꞌ xꞌaniꞌ jusucꞌ che cachaꞌ.


sentence1: For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.

sentence2: We ta ri Abraham xꞌan jusucꞌ che chwach ri Dios ruma tak ri chac xuꞌan xa pa riꞌre, takal cꞌu riꞌ che cutacꞌabaꞌ ukꞌij; tob waꞌ na jinta queꞌelawi chwach ri Dios.


sentence1: What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?

sentence2: ¿Saꞌ cꞌu riꞌ cakabiꞌij puwi ri Abraham, ri nabe kamam ojertan ri oj aj Israel? ¿Suꞌanic xꞌaniꞌ jusucꞌ che rire chwach ri Dios?


sentence1: Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.

sentence2: ¿Ruma nawi ri xcubiꞌ kacꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Cristo, utz cakacꞌak bi ukꞌij ri Tzij Pixab tzꞌibital can ruma ri Moisés y cakabiꞌij waꞌ na jinta chi uchac? ¡Na e ta riꞌ! Ma rucꞌ ne ri cubulibal kacꞌuꞌx, cakamaj usucꞌ lic cꞌo uwach ri Tzij Pixab.


sentence1: since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.

sentence2: Ma xa jun Dios cꞌolic. Yey Rire cuꞌan jusucꞌ chique ri ticawex ruma ri cubulibal quicꞌuꞌx. Waꞌ e cuꞌan cucꞌ ri quicojom ri retalil re circuncisión y cucꞌ ri na quicojom taj.


sentence1: Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn’t he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,

sentence2: ¿Ri Dios xew neba Dios que ri e aj judiꞌab? ¿Na e ta neba Dios que ri na e ta aj judiꞌab? Pakatzij wi Rire e Dios que ri e aj judiꞌab y que ri na e ta aj judiꞌab.


sentence1: We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

sentence2: Cakaqꞌuisbej cꞌu rucꞌ waꞌ: Ri Dios cuꞌan jusucꞌ che ri ticawex ruma ri cubulibal ucꞌuꞌx rucꞌ Rire, na ruma ta ri utakem tak ri takanic.


sentence1: to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, that he might himself be just and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.

sentence2: Yey Rire uchꞌobom chi lo rakan saꞌ ri cuꞌan chupa waꞌ wa kꞌij oj cꞌo wi. Ecꞌu woꞌora ucꞌutum chic suꞌanic cuꞌan jusucꞌ chique ri ticawex; e ruma ri cubulibal quicꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Jesús. Jelaꞌ cꞌu riꞌ, xkꞌalajinic ri Dios lic jusucꞌ y e Rire ri cuꞌan jusucꞌ chique ri cacubiꞌ quicꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Cristo.


sentence1: whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance;

sentence2: Ri Dios xuya lo ri Cristo chaꞌ ruma Rire ri ticawex caquirik cuybal quimac we xcubiꞌ quicꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ruquiqꞌuel xturuwic. Jecꞌuriꞌlaꞌ ri Dios xucꞌutu Rire lic jusucꞌ y lic cꞌo unimal ucꞌuꞌx, ma ojertan na asu ta xusachisaj quiwach ri winak ruma ri quimac quiꞌanom lok.


sentence1: being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

sentence2: Na rucꞌ ta cꞌu riꞌ, ri Dios cuꞌan jusucꞌ chique ruma ri unimal rutzil ucꞌuꞌx y cusipaj cꞌu ri colobetajic chique ruma ri xuꞌan ri Kanimajawal Jesucristo echiriꞌ xeresaj lo pukꞌab ri mac.


sentence1: for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

sentence2: Conoje cꞌu ri ticawex emacuninak y lic naj e cꞌo wi lo che ri unimal uchomalil ri Dios.


sentence1: But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;

sentence2: Pero woꞌora ri Dios ukꞌalajisam chikawach suꞌanic Rire cuꞌan jusucꞌ chike, jelaꞌ pachaꞌ ri cubiꞌij Rutzij Upixab ri Dios tzꞌibital can ruma ri Moisés y cuma ri kꞌalajisanelab. Na cojuꞌan ta cꞌu jusucꞌ chwach ri Dios ruma ri katakem tak ri takanic,


sentence1: even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,

sentence2: ma e ruma ri cubulibal kacꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Kanimajawal Jesucristo. Ma ri Dios cuꞌan jusucꞌ chique conoje ri cacubiꞌ quicꞌuꞌx rucꞌ ri Cristo, tob e chinok.


sentence2: Are i módo u yijbam i Dios chi coʼonbej oj ʼutz chuwach ire, are we caka cuba ka cʼux che i Jesucrísto. Que oʼon ʼutz chuwach ire niʼpa i qui cubam qui cʼux che i Crísto, n-ta coʼono xa pachinok.


sentence1: Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

sentence2: I aj Israel winak, ʼo na que che, ronojel wach cu bij i wuj re u ʼatbal tzij i Dios. Rumal-i, ique xak junam cuʼ conojel i winak chuwach i jyub taʼaj, n-quiqui laʼ tu wach che i Dios are cu ʼat tzij piquiwi.


sentence1: Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight; for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

sentence2: Y na jinta juna ticawex cuꞌan jusucꞌ che rib chwach ri Dios ruma ri cutakej ri takanic re ri Tzij Pixab. Ma ri Tzij Pixab na jinta uchukꞌab chaꞌ cojresaj pukꞌab ri mac; xew cucꞌut chike: Riꞌoj oj aj mac.

sentence1: The way of peace, they haven’t known.”

sentence2: pa tak e cꞌo wi rique, na jinta cꞌana utzil chomal.


sentence1: Destruction and misery are in their ways.

sentence2: Tob pa tak quebicꞌow wi, quequicoj ri winak pa cꞌaxcꞌolil y pa bis;


sentence1: “Their feet are swift to shed blood.

sentence2: Lic cacha quicꞌuꞌx che quecamisanic.


sentence1: “Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”

sentence2: Yey rupa kichiꞌ nojinaq che itzel taq tzij y kꞌaxlaj chꞌaꞌtem.


sentence1: “Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.” “The poison of vipers is under their lips.”

sentence2: Ri chꞌaꞌtem kel lo pa kichiꞌ ri winaq e pachaꞌ uchuyil ujul animaꞌ teqꞌel uchiꞌ; ma rukꞌ ri kaqꞌ kesokosoꞌnik. Ri chꞌaꞌtem kel lo pa kichiꞌ e pachaꞌ chi veneno re kumatz.


sentence1: They have all turned away. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not so much as one.”

sentence2: Conoje ri winak ebelinak che rube ri Dios, y na jinta chi cꞌana quichac. Na jinta junok caꞌanaw ri utz, tob tane xa jun.


sentence1: There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.

sentence2: Na jinta junok camajaw usucꞌ runaꞌoj ri Dios. Na jinta junok catzucuw re Rire.


sentence1: As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one.

sentence2: Ma jewaꞌ ri tzꞌibital can pa Ruchꞌaꞌtem ri Dios: Na jinta juna ticawex jusucꞌ chwach ri Dios, tob tane xa jun.


sentence1: What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.

sentence2: ¿E cami queꞌelawi riꞌ ri oj aj judiꞌab, lic utz kaꞌanom y na jinta cꞌana kamac chiquiwa ri na e ta aj judiꞌab? ¡Na e ta riꞌ! Ma e pachaꞌ ri nucꞌutum lok: Conoje, tob e aj judiꞌab o na e ta aj judiꞌab, junam e cꞌo chuxeꞌ ri kꞌatbal tzij re ri Dios ruma ri quimac.


sentence1: Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), “Let’s do evil, that good may come?” Those who say so are justly condemned.

sentence2: ¿Utz ne riꞌ cakabiꞌij: «Kaꞌana ri na utz taj chaꞌ waꞌ e cucꞌam lo ri utz»? ¡Na utz ta qꞌuenok! Yey cꞌo ri caquibiꞌij rakꞌubal chikij, ma caquibiꞌij jelaꞌ cojcꞌutun riꞌoj. E ri quebiꞌn re waꞌ, lic takal chique cakꞌat tzij paquiwiꞌ.


sentence1: For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

sentence2: Ma laj cꞌo junok cubiꞌij: «We rucꞌ ri rakꞌubal canꞌano e catacꞌabax ukꞌij ri Kꞌijsak re ri Dios, ¿saꞌ cꞌu ube riꞌ cꞌa cabiꞌxic in aj mac y cakꞌat tzij panuwiꞌ?» cachaꞌ.


sentence1: But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.

sentence2: Cꞌo ri caquibiꞌij: «E tak ri lic na jusucꞌ taj cakaꞌano cꞌo cutikoj; ma echiriꞌ cakaꞌan waꞌ, más cakꞌalajin ri lic jusucꞌ cuꞌan ri Dios» quechaꞌ.
