The Spirit Delivers from the Power of the Flesh
1 [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation], who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit [Ruach].
2 For the law of the Spirit [Ruach] of life in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation] has made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God-The Father sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit [Ruach].
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit [Ruach] the things of the Spirit [Ruach].
6 For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace.
7 Because the carnal (of the flesh, sensual) mind [is] hatred (being an enemy) against God-The Father: for it is not subject to the law of God-The Father, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God-The Father.
9 But you2f are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit [Ruach], if so be that the Spirit [Ruach] of God-The Father dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit [Ruach] of Moshiach [Messiah], he is none of his.
10 And if Moshiach [Messiah] [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the Spirit [Ruach] [is] life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit [Ruach] of him that raised up Yeshua [God is Salvation] from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Moshiach [Messiah] from the dead shall also make alive your mortal bodies by his Spirit [Ruach] that dwells in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if you2f live after the flesh, you2f shall die: but if you2f through the Spirit [Ruach] do mortify (put to death; remove the life of) the deeds of the body, you2f shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit [Ruach] of God-The Father, they are the sons of God-The Father.
15 For you2f have not received the Spirit [Ruach] of bondage again to fear; but you2f have received the Spirit [Ruach] of sonship, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit [Ruach] itself bears witness with our Spirit [Ruach], that we are the children of God-The Father:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God-The Father, and joint-heirs with Moshiach [Messiah]; if so be that we suffer (allow, to let, permit) with [him], that we may be also glorified together.
The Spirit Assures us of Future Glory
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God-The Father.
20 For the creation was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who has subjected [the same] in hope,
21 Because the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God-The Father.
22 For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
23 And not only [they], but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit [Ruach], even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the sonship, [that is to say], the redemption of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man sees, why does he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, [then] do we with patience wait for [it].
26 Likewise the Spirit [Ruach] also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit [Ruach] itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searches the hearts knows what [is] the mind of the Spirit [Ruach], because he makes intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God-The Father.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God-The Father, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
The Spirit Assures us of Final Victory
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God-The Father [be] for us, who [can be] against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God-The Father’s elect? [It is] God-The Father that justifies.
34 Who [is] he that condemns? [It is] Moshiach [Messiah] that died, yes rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God-The Father, who also makes intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Moshiach [Messiah]? [shall] tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For youri sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 No, 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 (rulers or their territory), nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God-The Father, which is in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation] our Lord - Kurios.
