Romans 8
8
1Therefore, now there is no gezar din (verdict) of ashem (guilty), no harsha'ah (condemnation as guilty) for those in Moshiach Yehoshua.#8:1 cf. Ro 5:18
2For the Torah of the Ruach HaKodesh that gives Chayyim in Moshiach Yehoshua#8:2 Jer 31:31-34; Ezek 36:26-27; Gn 2:16-17; 3:7,11,19; 5:12-20 has set me free from the “Gezetz” of Chet and Mavet.
3For what the Gezetz was unable to do in that it was weak through the basar,#8:3 fallen human nature under Chet Kadmon and without hitkhadshut renewal and regeneration by the Ruach Hakodesh G-d sent his own Zun fun der Oybershter#8:3 Moshiach in the very demut (likeness) of the basar of sinful humanity and as a chattat#8:3 2C 5:21 (sin offering, sin atoning sacrifice), and both pronounced and effected a sentence of death on HaChet baBasar (Sin in the Flesh, in the fallen old humanity),
4In order that the maleh chukat haTorah#8:4 see Lv 18:5 (the full statute requirement of the Torah) might be fulfilled in us whose halakhah is in the Derech [HaChayyim] (the Way [of Life]) according to the Ruach Hakodesh and not in accordance with the basar.
5For those who exist in terms of the basar take the side of the basar, whereas those who exist in terms of the Ruach#8:5 Hakodesh take the side of the Ruach Hakodesh.
6For the way of thinking of the basar is mavet (death), whereas the way of thinking of the Ruach Hakodesh is Chayyim and Shalom.
7Because the way of thinking of the basar is hostility, eyvah#8:7 Gn 3:15 (enmity) toward G-d, for it does not submit itself to the Gezetz of G-d; for it cannot.
8And those who are in the basar are not able to please Hashem.
9However, you are not in the basar#8:9 i.e., unregenerate but in the Ruach Hakodesh, assuming that the Ruach Hakodesh of Hashem does indeed dwell in you — if anyone does not have the Ruach HaMoshiach, that person does not belong to Moshiach.
10And if Moshiach is in you, the body (of the basar) is dead because of sin#8:10 Ro 5:12 but the Ruach#8:10 Hakodesh is life for you because of Tzedek (righteousness).#8:10 cf. Ro 5:18
11But if the Ruach Hakodesh of Him who gave Yehoshua Techiyah (Resurrection) from the Mesim dwells in you, He who raised Moshiach from the Mesim will give Chayyim to your mortal bodies as well, through His indwelling Ruach Hakodesh in you.
12So then, Achim b'Moshiach, we are under no obligation to the basar to live in accordance with the basar.
13For if you live in accordance with the basar#8:13 old fallen humanity under slave master Chet Kadmon you will certainly die; but if by the Ruach Hakodesh you put to death the [shameful] acts of the body, you will live.
14For as many as are led by the Ruach HaElohim, they are bnei HaElohim.
15For you did not receive a spirit of avdut, falling back into pachad (fear); but you received the Ruach of Mishpat HaBanim (Adoption), having Ma'amad HaBanim (the standing as Sons),#8:15 Ro 9:4 by which we cry, “Abba, Avinu!”
16The Ruach Hakodesh himself bears eidus (witness) with our#8:16 regenerate, Jn 3:6 ruach that we are bnei HaElohim.
17And if bnei HaElohim, then also yoreshim (heirs) of G-d and co-heirs#8:17 Ro 4:13f together with Moshiach, provided that we suffer with him in order that we might also be set in kavod (glory, eschatological glorification) with him.
18For I reckon that the yisurim (suffering) of zman hazeh (of this present time) are not to be compared with the coming kavod (glory) to be revealed in us.
19For the eager expectation of HaBri'ah (the Creation) awaits the heavenly hisgalus (revelation, unveiling) of the bnei HaElohim.
20For HaBri'ah (the Creation) was subjected to hevel (futility), not willingly, but on account of Him who subjected it, in tikvah (hope),
21Because HaBri'ah also itself will be set free from the avdut (slavery) of corruption into the deror#8:21 Isa 61:1 (freedom) of the kavod (glory) of the bnei HaElohim.
22For we have da'as that the whole Bri'ah groans and suffers the chevlei leydah (pangs of childbirth) until now.
23And not only so, but also we ourselves who have the bikkurim (first fruits) of the Ruach Hakodesh also groan within ourselves, eagerly awaiting the Mishpat HaBanim Adoption, that is, the pedut geviyyateinu#8:23 ransom for Geulah redemption of our body Gn 47:18 for the Techiyah from HaMesim.#8:23 See Ro 3:24-25; 9:4
24For in tikvah (hope) we were delivered in eschatological salvation. But tikvah (hope) which is seen is not tikvah, for who hopes for what he sees?
25But if we have tikvah for what we do not see, we eagerly await it with savlanut.
26In the same way, the Ruach Hakodesh helps us in our weakness.#8:26 as creatures: see Ro 5:6 For as we daven, we do not know as we should for what to make tefillos (prayers), but the Ruach HaKodesh Himself intercedes on our behalf with labor pang groans not intelligibly uttered.
27And He who searches the levavot#8:27 Rv 2:23 knows what is the way of thinking of the Ruach Hakodesh, because He intercedes as G-d would have it on behalf of the Kedoshim.
28And we have da'as that for those who love Hashem everything co-operates toward HaTov for those who are HaKeru'im (the summoned, called ones) according to the etzah (wisdom) of the tochnit Hashem (G-dʼs purposeful and willed plan or goal).#8:28 Ro 9:11
29For those Hashem had da'as of beterem#8:29 Jer 1:5 (beforehand), Hashem also decided upon from the beginning to be conformed to the demut (likeness) of Hashemʼs Zun fun der Oybershter, that he#8:29 Moshiach should be HaBechor (Firstborn) among many Achim b'Moshiach.
30And those Hashem decided upon from the beginning Hashem also summoned; and those Hashem summoned, Hashem also acquitted and pronounced to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM; and those Hashem acquitted and pronounced to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM, Hashem also set in eternal kavod (glory).
31In view of these things, what therefore shall we say? If Hashem is for us, who is against us?
32He who indeed did not spare His own Zun fun der Oybershter, but gave him up for us all, how shall He not also with him give us all things.#8:32 see Ro 8:12-17; 4:13f
33Who will bring charges against the Bechirei HaElohim (chosen ones of Hashem)? It is Hashem who acquits and pronounces to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM (justified with G-d).
34Who is there to bring a judgment of harsha'ah#8:34 cf. Ro 8:1 (condemnation, to condemn to Onesh Gehinnom)? It is Moshiach Yehoshua who died, rather was kam litechiyah (raised to resurrection), who also is at LIMIN HASHEM#8:34 Ps 110:1 (the right hand of G-d), who also intercedes on our behalf.#8:34 see Ro 8:26-27
35Who will separate us from the Ahavas Moshiach (love of Moshiach)? Tzoros (affliction, trouble), or distress, or redifot (persecutions), or hunger, or nakedness, or danger, or cherev#8:35 13:4 (sword)?
36As it is written, KI ALECHA HORAGNU KOL HAYOM NECHESHAVNU K'TZON TIVCHAH#8:36 Ps 44:22 [23] (For Your sake we are being killed all the day; we are reckoned as sheep for slaughter).
37But in all these things we prevail bichlal (entirely) through Him who had ahavah for us.
38For I am convinced that neither Histalkus nor Chayyim nor Malachim nor Rulers, neither things present nor things to come nor kochot (powers),
39Neither height nor depth nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the ahavas Hashem which is in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu.

Romans 8
8
Free from Indwelling Sin
1There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, #Gal. 5:16who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2For #Rom. 6:18, 22the law of #(1 Cor. 15:45)the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from #Rom. 7:24, 25the law of sin and death. 3For #Acts 13:39; (Heb. 7:18)what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, #(2 Cor. 5:21; Gal. 3:13)God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who #(Rom. 6:4; 2 Cor. 5:7); Gal. 5:16, 25; Eph. 4:1; 5:2, 15; (1 John 1:7; 2:6)do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5For #John 3:6those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, #(Gal. 5:22–25)the things of the Spirit. 6For #Gal. 6:8to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7Because #James 4:4the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, #1 Cor. 2:14nor indeed can be. 8So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11But if the Spirit of #Acts 2:24; Rom. 6:4Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, #1 Cor. 6:14He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
Sonship Through the Spirit
12#(Rom. 6:7, 14)Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13For #Gal. 6:8if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you #Eph. 4:22; (Col. 3:5–10)put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14For #(Gal. 5:18)as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15For #(1 Cor. 2:12); Heb. 2:15you did not receive the spirit of bondage again #2 Tim. 1:7to fear, but you received the #(Is. 56:5)Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, #Mark 14:36; Gal. 4:6“Abba, Father.” 16#Eph. 1:13The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17and if children, then #Acts 26:18heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, #Phil. 1:29if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
From Suffering to Glory
18For I consider that #2 Cor. 4:17; (1 Pet. 1:6; 4:13)the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19For #(2 Pet. 3:13)the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20For #Gen. 3:17–19the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious #(2 Cor. 3:17); Gal. 5:1, 13liberty of the children of God. 22For we know that the whole creation #Jer. 12:4, 11groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23Not only that, but we also who have #2 Cor. 5:5; Eph. 1:14the firstfruits of the Spirit, #2 Cor. 5:2, 4even we ourselves groan #(Luke 20:36)within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the #Luke 21:28; Eph. 1:14; 4:30; (Phil. 3:20, 21)redemption of our body. 24For we were saved in this hope, but #Rom. 4:18; 2 Cor. 5:7; Heb. 11:1hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
26Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For #Matt. 20:22; 2 Cor. 12:8we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but #John 14:16; Rom. 8:15; Eph. 6:18the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27Now #1 Chr. 28:9He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints #1 John 5:14according to the will of God.
28And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those #2 Tim. 1:9who are the called according to His purpose. 29For whom #2 Tim. 2:19He foreknew, #Rom. 9:23; 1 Cor. 2:7; Eph. 1:5, 11He also predestined #(2 Cor. 3:18)to be conformed to the image of His Son, #(Col. 1:15, 18); Heb. 1:6that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30Moreover whom He predestined, these He also #Rom. 8:28; 9:24; 1 Cor. 1:9; Gal. 1:6, 15; 5:8; Eph. 1:11; 3:11; 2 Thess. 2:14; (Heb. 9:15; 1 Pet. 2:9; 3:9)called; whom He called, these He also #1 Cor. 6:11; (Gal. 2:16)justified; and whom He justified, these He also #John 17:22; Rom. 8:21glorified.
God’s Everlasting Love
31What then shall we say to these things? #Num. 14:9If God is for us, who can be against us? 32#Rom. 5:6, 10He who did not spare His own Son, but #(Rom. 4:25)delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? #Is. 50:8, 9; Rev. 12:10It is God who justifies. 34#John 3:18Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, #Mark 16:19; Col. 3:1; Heb. 1:3who is even at the right hand of God, #Heb. 7:25; 9:24who also makes intercession for us. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36As it is written:
#Ps. 44:22; Acts 20:24; 1 Cor. 4:9; 15:30; (2 Cor. 1:9; 4:10; 6:9; 11:23)“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
37#John 16:33; 1 Cor. 15:57; 2 Cor. 2:14; 1 John 5:4Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor #(1 Cor. 15:24; Eph. 1:21; 1 Pet. 3:22)principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
