ROMANS 8

There is, then, now no condemnation to those that are in Yahusha Messiah, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the spirit. For the word of the spirit of life in Yahusha Messiah has set me free from the law of sin and death. For the old covenant law being powerless, in that it was weak over the flesh, Yahuah having His own son in the likeness of flesh of sin, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh, so that the righteousness of the old teaching should be completed in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to Yahusha’s spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the matters of the flesh, but those who live according to the spirit, the matters of the spirit.

FOR THE MIND OF THE FLESH IS DEATH, BUT THE MIND OF THE SPIRIT OF YAHUSHA IS LIFE AND PEACE. BECAUSE THE MIND OF THE FLESH IS HATRED TOWARDS YAHUAH, FOR IT DOES NOT SUBJECT ITSELF TO THE WORDS OF YAHUAH, NEITHER INDEED IS IT ABLE.

AND THOSE WHO ARE IN THE FLESH ARE UNABLE TO PLEASE YAHUSHA.

But you are not in the flesh but in the spirit, if indeed the spirit of Yahusha dwells in you.And if anyone does not have the spirit of Yahusha, this one is not His. And if Yahusha is in you, the body is truely dead on account of sin, but the spirit is life on account of righteousness. And if the spirit of Him who raised Yahusha from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Yahusha from the dead shall also give life to your mortal bodies through His spirit dwelling in you.

So then, brothers, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. FOR IF YOU LIVE ACCORDING TO THE FLESH YOU ARE GOING TO DIE; But if you live by the spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, and you shall live.

FOR AS MANY AS ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF YAHUSHA, THESE ARE THE SONS OF YAHUSHA.

For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba Father.” The spirit Himself bears witness to our NEW spirit that we are children of Yahusha, and if children, also heirs - truely heirs of Yahusha and co-heirs, if indeed we suffer with Him, in order that we also be exalted together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the esteem that is to be revealed in us.

FOR THE INTENSE LONGING OF THE CREATION EAGERLY WAITS FOR THE REVEALING OF THE SONS OF YAHUSHA.

For the creation was subjected to futility, not from choice, but because of Yahusha who who subjected it, in anticipation, That the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the esteemed freedom of the children of Yahusha. for we know that all creation groans together, and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. And not only so, but even we ourselves who have the first - fruits of the spirit of Yahusha, we also groan within ourselves, eagerly awaiting for the adoption, the redemption of the body.

For in this hope we were delivered, but hope that is seen is not hope for when anyone sees, does he expect it? And if we expect what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with endurance. And in the same way Yahusha does help in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray, but the spirit Himself pleads our case for us with groanings unutterable. And He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the spirit is, because he makes intercession for the set - apart ones according to Himself.

And we know that all things work together for the good of those who love Yahusha, to those who are called according to His purpose.

Because those whom He knew beforehand, He also established beforehand, to be conformed to the likeness of Yahusha, for Him to be the firstborn among many brothers. And who He established beforehand, these He also called, and whom He called, These He also declared right, these He also esteemed.

WHAT THEN SHALL WE SAY TO HIS ?

If Yahusha is for us, who is against us ? Truely He who did not spare His own Son but delivered Him up on behalf of us all - how shall He not, along with Him, freely give us all else ? Who shall bring any charge against Yahusha’s chosen ones? It is Yahusha who is declaring right. Who is he who is condemning ? It is Yahusha who died, and further more is also raised up, who is also on the throne who also makes intercession for us.

Who shall seperate us from the love of Yahusha ? Shall pressure, or distress, or persecution, or scarcity of food, or nakedness or danger or sword? As it has been written,” for your sake we are killed all day long, we are reckoned as sheep of the slaughter.” But in all this we are more than overcomes through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor messages nor principalities nor powers, neither the present nor the future, nor height nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to seperate us from the love of Yahusha our master.
