There isn’t a single thing then which is at present a judgment against those who are by means of the Anointed Yeshua, not operating from the soft tissues of the body but from the Pneuma. Because the Torah of the living Pneuma freed you from the Torah of the malfunction and from Death by means of the Anointed Yeshua . Because the powerless thing of the Torah—by means of which the Torah was weak through the soft tissues of our body—the God having sent His own Son in what looks like malfunctioning soft tissues also surrounding the malfunction judged against the malfunction within the soft tissues, so that the regulation of the Torah would be fulfilled within us who don’t operate from those soft tissues of the body, but from the Pneuma1. Because those folks existing from the soft tissues of the body mind the things of the soft tissues, yet those from the Pneuma the things of the Pneuma. Because the mindset of the soft tissues of the body is death, yet the mindset of the Pneuma is life and peace, because the mindset of the soft tissues of the body is hostile as far as the God is concerned, because they aren’t submissive to the Torah of the God, because neither can they be; and those existing by means of those soft tissues can’t please God2. But you don’t exist by means of the soft tissues of the body but by means of the Pneuma, if in fact the Divine Pneuma resides within you, but if someone doesn’t possess the Pneuma of the Anointed, this person doesn’t belong to Him. Yet if the Anointed is within you, the body is in fact a corpse because of the malfunction yet the Pneuma is life because of a right state of being. And if the Pneuma of the One who raised Yeshua from the dead resides within you, the One having raised the Anointed from the dead will also make your dying bodies alive through the Pneuma residing within you.
Therefore then, brothers, we are those obligated, not to the soft tissues of the body to live in line with those soft tissues, because if you live in line with the soft tissues of the body, you are intent on dying; yet if by the Pneuma you make the business of the body dead, you will live. Because as many as are led by the Divine Pneuma are Divine sons. Because you didn’t get a pneuma of enslavement again resulting in panic, but you got a spirit of adoption with which we cry out, “The Father is Abba3!” This Pneuma testifies together with our pneuma that we are Divine children. And if children, also heirs; Divine heirs in fact, and co-heirs of the Anointed if in fact we have the same thing happen to us as happened with Him so that we would also receive reputation together with Him.
Because I figure that the sufferings of the current period of time aren’t worthy facing the impending glory to be revealed for us. Because the eager expectation of the creation eagerly welcomes the unveiling of the sons of the God. Because the creation was subjected to useless idiocy, not by mutual consent but because of the one having subjected it, upon the hope that this creation also would be freed from the enslavement of this decay into the freedom of the glory of the children of the God. Because we know that every single creation laments together and has the pains of childbirth together up to the present time; and not just this, but having the birth-certificate of the Spirit we also ourselves lament within ourselves eagerly welcoming the adoption, the slave-purchase of our bodies. Because we were rescued with this hope; but hope being looked at isn’t hope; because who hopes for the thing he’s looking at? But if we are hoping for the thing we aren’t looking at, we welcome it eagerly through patience.
And in the same way also the Pneuma renders assistance to our weakness; because we don’t know what we should pray insofar as there is a need, but the Pneuma itself obtains an audience on our behalf with non-verbal expressions; and the One scrutinizing these hearts knows what the mindset of the Pneuma is, because in synch with God he obtains an audience on behalf of the holy. And we know that for those loving the God everything works together resulting in good, for those being summoned in line with His plan. Because those whom He knew by experience beforehand, he also marked out beforehand as formed together with the image of His Son resulting in Him being the firstborn among many brothers; and those whom He marked out beforehand, these also He summoned; and whom He summoned, these also He made right; and those whom He made right, to these also He gave His reputation.
What then will we say to these things? If the God is on our side, who is against us? Who even didn’t hold back His own Son but handed Him over on behalf of all of us, how wouldn’t He also charitably give to us all things together with Him? Who will bring an accusation against the Divine chosen? God is the One making them right. Who is the one judging against them? The Anointed Yeshua is the One who died, yet more being raised, who also is at the right side of the God, who also obtains an audience on our behalf. Who would part us from the love of the Anointed? Crushing or distress or being hunted or hunger or nakedness or danger or single edged sword? Just like it had been written that, “Because of You we are made dead the whole day, we were calculated like sheep for slaughter.” But with all these things we are beyond victorious through the One having loved us. Because I have been convinced that neither death nor life nor messengers nor princeps nor things in the immediate present nor things impending nor powers nor height nor depth nor some different created thing can part us from the love of the God which is by means of the Anointed Yeshua, our Owner.
