1Therefore, now there is no gezar din (verdict) of ashem (guilty), no harsha'ah (condemnation as guilty) for those in Moshiach Yehoshua. ¹³¹

2For the Torah of the Ruach HaKodesh that gives Chayyim in Moshiach Yehoshua ¹³²has 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, ¹³³G-d sent his own Zun fun der Oybershter ¹³⁴in the very demut (likeness) of the basar of sinful humanity and as a chattat ¹³⁵(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 ¹³⁶(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 ¹³⁷take 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 ¹³⁸(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 ¹³⁹but 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 ¹⁴⁰but the Ruach ¹⁴¹is life for you because of Tzedek (righteousness). ¹⁴²

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 ¹⁴³you 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), ¹⁴⁴by which we cry, “Abba, Avinu!”

16The Ruach Hakodesh himself bears eidus (witness) with our ¹⁴⁵ruach that we are bnei HaElohim.

17And if bnei HaElohim, then also yoreshim (heirs) of G-d and co-heirs ¹⁴⁶together 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 ¹⁴⁷(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 ¹⁴⁸for the Techiyah from HaMesim. ¹⁴⁹

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. ¹⁵⁰For 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 ¹⁵¹knows 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). ¹⁵²

29For those Hashem had da'as of beterem ¹⁵³(beforehand), Hashem also decided upon from the beginning to be conformed to the demut (likeness) of Hashemʼs Zun fun der Oybershter, that he ¹⁵⁴should 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. ¹⁵⁵

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 ¹⁵⁶(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 ¹⁵⁷(the right hand of G-d), who also intercedes on our behalf. ¹⁵⁸

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 ¹⁵⁹(sword)?

36As it is written, KI ALECHA HORAGNU KOL HAYOM NECHESHAVNU K'TZON TIVCHAH ¹⁶⁰(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.
