ROMIYIM 8

1 There is, then, now no condemnation to those who are in Mashiaḥ 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Ruaḥ.

2 For the Torah of the Ruaḥ of the ḥai in ha’Mashiaḥ 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 has freed me from the law of sin and of death.

3 For the Torah being powerless, in that it was weak through the flesh, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, having His own Bĕn in the likeness of flesh of sin, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,

4 so that the righteousness of the Torah should be completed in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Ruaḥ.

5 For those who live according to the flesh put their minds on that of the flesh, but those according to the Ruaḥ, that of the Ruaḥ.

6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Ruaḥ is ḥai and peace.

7 Because the mind of the flesh is enmity towards Elohim, for it does not subject itself to the Torah of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, neither indeed is it able,

8 and those who are in the flesh are unable to please Elohim.

9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Ruaḥ, if indeed the Ruaḥ of Elohim dwells in you. And if anyone does not have the Ruaḥ of ha’Mashiaḥ, this one is not His.

10 And if ha’Mashiaḥ is in you, the body is truly dead on account of sin, but the Ruaḥ is ḥai on account of righteousness.

11 And if the Ruaḥ of Him who raised 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 from the dead dwells in you, He who raised ha’Mashiaḥ from the dead shall also give ḥai to your mortal bodies through His Ruaḥ dwelling in you.

12 So then, brothers, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

13 For if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die; but if by the Ruaḥ you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live.

14 For as many as are led by the Ruaḥ of Elohim, these are sons of Elohim.

15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Ruaḥ of adoption as sons by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

16 The Ruaḥ Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of Elohim,

17 and if children, also heirs – truly heirs of Elohim, and co-heirs with ha’Mashiaḥ, if indeed we suffer with Him, in order that we also be exalted together.

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the esteem that is to be revealed in us.

19 For the intense longing of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of Elohim.

20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not from choice, but because of Him who subjected it, in anticipation,

21 that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage to corruption into the esteemed freedom of the children of Elohim.

22 For we know that all the creation groans together, and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.

23 And not only so, but even we ourselves who have the first-fruits of the Ruaḥ, we ourselves also groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.

24 For in this expectation we were saved, but expectation that is seen is not expectation, for when anyone sees, does he expect it?

25 And if we expect what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with endurance.

26 And in the same way the Ruaḥ helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray, but the Ruaḥ Himself pleads our case for us with groanings unutterable.

27 And He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Ruaḥ is, because He makes intercession for the qodeshim according to Elohim.

28 And we know that all works together for good to those who love Elohim, to those who are called according to purpose.

29 Because those whom He knew beforehand, He also ordained beforehand to be conformed to the likeness of His Bĕn, that He become the first-born born among many brothers.

30 And whom He ordained beforehand, these He also called, and whom He called, these He also declared right. And whom He declared right, these He also esteemed.

31 What then shall we say to this? If Elohim is for us, who is against us?

32 Truly, He who did not spare His own Bĕn, but delivered Him up on behalf of us all – how shall He not, along with Him, freely give us all else?

33 Who shall bring any charge against Elohim’s chosen ones? It is Elohim who is declaring right.

34 Who is he who is condemning? It is ha’Mashiaḥ who died, and furthermore is also raised up, who is also at the right hand of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, who also makes intercession for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of ha’Mashiaḥ? Shall pressure, or distress, or persecution, or scarcity of food, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

36 As it has been written, “For Your sake we are killed all day long, we are reckoned as sheep of slaughter.”

37 But in all this we are more than overcomers through Him who loved us.

38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor messengers nor principalities nor powers, neither the present nor the future,

39 nor height nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 which is in Mashiaḥ 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 our Aḏon.
