Romans — 8
Life in the RUACH
1 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyach.
2 And because you belong to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA, the power of the life giving RUACH has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.
3 The law of Musha was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH did what the law could not do. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH sent HIS own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving His Son as a sacrifice for our sins.
4 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisfied for us, who no longer follow our sinful nature but instead follow the Ruach.
5 Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the RUACH Ha'Qadash think about things that please the RUACH.
6 To be Carnally minded (letting your sinful nature control your mind) leads to death. But letting the RUACH control your mind leads you to life and Shalum.
7 Because the carnal mind is an enemy that is against 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. It never did obey 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH’s laws, and it never will.
8 That is why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
9 But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the RUACH Ha'Qadash, if you have the RUACH of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH living in you. And remember that those who do not have the Ruach of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA living in them do not belong to Mashyach at all.
10 And Ha'Mashyach lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the RUACH gives you life because you have been made right with 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
11 And if the RUACH of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, who raised 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA from the dead, lives in you. For just as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH has raised 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyach from the dead, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Ruach living within you.
12 Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do.
13 For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Ruach you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live.
14 For all who are led by the RUACH of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH are children of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
15 So you have not received a RUACH that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received the RUACH of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH when HE adopted you as HIS own children. Now we call 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, ABBA 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
16 For the RUACH of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH joins with our Ruach to affirm that we are 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH’s children.
17 And since we are the children of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, we are joint heirs with Ha'Mashyach, we are heirs of the Kabad of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. But if we are to share the Kabad of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA, we must also share in the suffering of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA.
The Future Kabad
18 Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the Kabad 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will reveal to us later.
19 For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will reveal who His children really are.
20 Against its will, all creation was subjected to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH’s curse. But with eager hope,
21 The creation looks forward to the day when it will join 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH’s children in awesome freedom from death and decay.
22 For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
23 And we believers also groan, even though we have the Ruach Ha'Qadash within us as a foretaste of future Kabad, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us.
24 We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we do not need to hope for it.
25 But if we look forward to something we do not yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)
26 And the Ruach Ha'Qadash helps us in our weakness. For example, we do not know what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH wants us to pray for. But the Ruach Ha'Qadash prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.
27 And ABBA 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH who knows all hearts knows what the Ruach is saying, for the Ruach pleads for us believers in harmony with 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH’s own Will.
28 And we know that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH causes everything to work together for the good of those who love HIM and are called according to HIS purpose for them.
29 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH knew HIS people in advance, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH chose them to become like HIS Son, so that HIS Son would be the firstborn among many Achks (brothers) and Achutys (sisters).
30 And having chosen them, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH called them to come to HIM. And having called them, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH gave them right standing with HIMSELF. And having given them right standing, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH gave them HIS Kabad.
Nothing Can Separate Us from YAHUAH’s Love
31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH is for us, who can ever be against us?
32 Since 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH did not spare even his own Son but gave Him up for us all, will 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH not also give us everything else?
33 Who dares accuse us whom 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH has chosen for His own? No one, for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH HIMSELF has given us right standing with HIMSELF.
34 Who then will condemn us? No one, for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyach died for us and was raised to life for us, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA is sitting in the place of honor at 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH’s right hand, pleading for us.
35 Can anything ever separate us from the love of Ha'Mashyach? Does it mean 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?
36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”)
37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Ha'Mashyach, who loved us.
38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH’s love. Neither death nor life, neither Malakym nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow, not even the powers of Hades can separate us from the Ahaba (love) of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
39 No power in the sky above or in the Arath below, indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the Ahaba (love) of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH that is revealed in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyach our Master and Savior.
