THE TORAH OF THE SPIRIT; LIFE IN THE MESSIAH
So there is now no condemnation to them who are in Messiah Yah Shua. *not in mss; but see 8:4 2 For the torah of the Spirit of life in Messiah Yah Shua liberates me from the torah of sin and death. 3 For the torah, being incapable, - frail through the flesh, Elohim sending his own Son in the likeness of the flesh of sin; and for sin, condemned the sin in the flesh: 4 to fulfill/shalam the judgment of the torah in us, who walk not after flesh, but after Spirit. 5
IN FLESH VS IN SPIRIT
For they being after flesh, think of the flesh; and they after Spirit, of the Spirit. 6 For the thought of the flesh, is death; but the thought of the spirit, life and shalom. 7 Because the thought of the flesh is enmity to Elohim: for it neither subjugates to the torah of Elohim nor indeed can. 8 So they who are in flesh, cannot please Elohim. 9 And you are not in flesh, but in Spirit whenever the Spirit of Elohim dwell in you. and if one has not the Spirit of Messiah, he is none of his. 10 And if Messiah is in you, the body is indeed dead because of sin; and the Spirit is life because of justness. 11 But if the Spirit of him who raised Yah Shua from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Messiah from the dead also enlivens your mortal bodies through his Spirit dwelling in you. 12 So then brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh - to live after the flesh. 13 For if you live after flesh, you are about to die: but if you, through Spirit, deathify the functions of the body, you live. 14 For as many as are led by Spirit of Elohim, are the sons of Elohim. 15
THE SPIRIT OF SONSHIP
For you take not the spirit of servitude again to awe; but you take the Spirit of sonship, wherein we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The self-same Spirit co-witnesses with our spirit, that we are the children of Elohim: 17 and if children, then heirs - heirs of Elohim - and indeed co-heirs with Messiah; whenever we co-suffer to also co-glorify. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present season are not worthy of the glory about to be unveiled * in us. *verb of Revelation 19 For the intense anticipation of the creature awaits the apocalypse of the sons of Elohim. 20 For the creature subjugated to vanity - not voluntarily but through him who subjugated in hope, 21 so that the creature itself also liberates from the servitude of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of Elohim. 22 For we know that all creation co-sighs and co-travails in pain until now: 23 and not only they, but we also, who have the firstlings of the Spirit, even we also sigh among ourselves, awaiting the sonship - the redemption of our body. 24 For we are saved by hope: but hope seen is not hope: for why still hope for what one sees? 25 And if we hope for what we see not, thus we, through endurance, await. 26
THE INTERCESSORY MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Likewise the Spirit also co-helps our frailties: for we know not what to pray for according as we must: but the Spirit intercedes exceedingly for us with unutterable sighs. 27 And he who searches the hearts knows the thought of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the holy according to the will of Elohim. 28 And we know that all co-works to good to them who love Elohim, to them being the called according to his prothesis. 29
THE SEQUENCE OF THE PROTECTION OF ELOHIM
For whom he foreknew, he also predetermined - conformed to the icon of his Son, to his being the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And whom he predetermined, he also called: and whom he called, he also justified: and whom he justified, he also glorified. 31
NINE QUESTIONS, DIRECT AND RHETORICAL
So what say we to these? If Elohim is for us, who is against us? 32 - Who indeed spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how indeed, with him, grants he us not also charism with all? 33 Who accuses the select of Elohim? Elohim who justifies? 34 Who condemns? Messiah who died, yes rather, who rose - who is even at the right of Elohim - who also intercedes for us? 35 Who separates us from the love of the Messiah? - Tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword? 36 Exactly as scribed, For your sake we are deathified all the day long - reckoned as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Rather, in all these we are exceedingly triumphant through him who loved us. Psalm 44:22 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life nor angels nor hierarchies nor dynamis nor the present nor the about to be 39 nor height nor depth nor any other creation can separate us from the love of Elohim in Messiah Yah Shua our Adonay.
