Roman chapter 8

Roman 8 

Discharge and acquitted in Christ Jesus by the SPIRIT of GOD

1 Ara (a heartfelt shout of joy lifted to heaven), Now, not even one thing of condemnation is in Christ Jesus + Who did not walk according to the flesh, but according the SPIRIT+

2 for, by the SPIRIT, the zoe-Life in Christ Jesus, has liberated/exempted you from the sins in the law and the death by the law;

3 because by the sins in the law, powerless flesh is weak/feeble, for which God sent HIS own Son, in the similitude of FLESH, even concerning sins of those condemned of sin through the flesh, 

4 at least, for the righteous-requirements of the law, to be fulfilled among us, by not walking according to the flesh, but according to the the SPIRIT.

5 no doubt, those who are according to the flesh, exercise their mind on things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, on things of the Spirit.

6 for, the attitude/mental inclination of the flesh is unto death; but, mindset/mental purpose of the Spirit, is unto zoe-LIFE and PEACE.

7 By this reason, the mindset/mental inclination of the flesh is enmity unto God; for it is not submissive to the LAW of GOD; because it is not even able.

8 So, those who are in the flesh, are not able to please God.

Zoe life is by indwelling SPIRIT 

9 However, if perhaps, the SPIRIT of God co-habit in you, you are not in the flesh, but in the SPIRIT. Howbeit, if anyone does not have the SPIRIT, he is not of this Christ.

10 Moreover, if indeed, the body would be dead on account of sin, the SPIRIT in you also is for the zoe-Life of Christ on account of Justification. 

11 Moreso, if the SPIRIT, WHO raised up Jesus out of the dead, co-habit in you; to have raised up Jesus Christ (out of the dead), even your mortal body shall be given life/revitalized, on account of the same SPIRIT dwelling in you.

Sonship is by indwelling SPIRIT 

12 therefore, Brethren, ara (heartfelt cry lifted to heaven), you are not debtors to the flesh, to be living-on, according to the flesh, 

13 for, if you live according to the flesh, you are about to die off, but if you live by the the practices (functions) of the SPIRIT, the body has been be killed.

14 for, as much as you are sons (huios) of God, the SPIRIT of God will be leading you on these things:

15 because, you have not received the Spirit unto fear of slavery again, but you have received the SPIRIT (unto) adoption/placing as sons, by WHOM we scream, ABBA! (life-Giver), FATHER!

16 and the same SPIRIT has been corroborating/jointly testifying with us, that we are children by the SPIRIT of God.

17 And, if children, (you are) God's heirs indeed. Moreover, (you are) coheirs/joint-heirs with Christ; if perhaps we suffer together, at least we will be magnified together also, even as heirs.

We are hoping altogether for final redemption/riddance of our body

18 no doubt, it is not to reckon (count) that, the suffering of the present time is worthy, towards the glory, which is about to be revealed unto us.

19 for, the original-creatures are fully expecting the revelation of the Son of God with earnest-expectation;

20 no doubt, no original-creature would willingly submit on account of vanity/futility, but we submit, upon pleasurable-hope - 

21 - that, the same original creatures shall be liberated from the slavery and decay/mortality, unto freedom and glory of the children of God.

22 no doubt, we are aware that all the original-creatures jointly groan and jointly travail (for their birth) up till now. 

23 and not only them, but also we, the First-Fruits, who have the SPIRIT. We are groaning in ourselves for the same adoption/placing as sons, fully expecting the full-redemption/riddance of our BODIES-

24 - because, they shall be saved on pleasurable-HOPE. However, a pleasurable hope on things which we see, is not hope; for, why hoping for what we can see?

25 however, if we are hoping for what we do not see, we will be expecting it through cheerful endurance.

26 Also, even the SPIRIT likewise, jointly help our frailty/feebleness; for we are not aware, of what we should make prayer on, according as we ought to, but the same SPIRIT, make our speechless/inexpressible sigh/groaning hyper-effective (huper-entugchano) 

27 because the SPIRIT of God also, searches the heart, to know what is to be made happen/ready (entugchano) , according to the mindset/mental-inclination of the saints.

28 So, God is aware of all who are working together unto good things for those being invited/called, that selflessly-love according to the purpose/proposal of God, 

29 For, those whom HE fore-knows, are pre-destinated to conform/be fashioned like unto the image of HIS Son, the First begotten among many brethren.

30 Moreover, those who are pre-destinated, even these are called forth; and whom HE called forth, even these are justified; and whom HE justified, even these are magnified/glorified.

God will do anything for you

31 Then, what shall be spoken towards those (called) ones? If God is for us, who will be against us?

32 for, HE WHO did not spare/be reluctant with HIS OWN Son, but surrendered Him for the sake of all of us, so, how will HE not indeed grant us, who are together with Him, all things by favor?

33 for God to have justified the elected one, Who will bring accusation against/call God in question? 

34 Who will condemn God? For Christ Jesus to have died, and rose up again (from the dead), and is in the Right HAND, effecting more things for our sake.

Therefore We got our minds made up

35 what will separate us from the selfless-Love of Christ? Tribulation, or distress, or persecutions, or poverty, or lack of clothes, or dangers, or dirk/sword (judicial judgment)?

36 just as it is written that: for Your sake, a whole day is reckoned for a slaughter, as though to kill sheep. (Ps 44:22)

37 But in all these things, we will overly win/we will be hyper-victorious/gain decisive victory, through the One Who selflessly-love us.

38 for, neither things, we are persuaded of, by the messenger (Angels), neither of  of Zoe-Life, nor of death; neither things of ancient times rules, nor by miraculous power; neither things of present, nor things coming,  

39 - not even things in the heights, nor things in the depths, nor certain strange original-creatures, can separate us from the selfless-love of God, in our Lord Jesus Christ.
