2. For the Torah of the Spirit of the life in Messiah יהושע has set me free from the law of sin and of death.
3. For the Torah being powerless, in that it was weak through the flesh, Elohim, having His own Son in the likeness of flesh of sin, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,
4. so that the righteousness of the Torah should be completed in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5. 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.
6. For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace.
7. Because the mind of the flesh is enmity towards Elohim, for it does not subject itself to the Torah of Elohim, neither indeed is it able,
8. and those who are in the flesh are unable to please Elohim.
9. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of Elohim dwells in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Messiah, this one is not His.
10. And if Messiah is in you, the body is truly dead on account of sin, but the Spirit is life on account of righteousness.
11. And if the Spirit of Him who raised יהושע from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Messiah from the dead shall also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit dwelling in you.
12. So then, brothers, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
13. For if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live.
14. For as many as are led by the Spirit of Elohim, these are sons of Elohim.
15. 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.”
16. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of Elohim,
17. and if children, also heirs – truly heirs of Elohim, and co-heirs with Messiah, if indeed we suffer with Him, in order that we also be exalted together.
18. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the esteem that is to be revealed in us.
19. For the intense longing of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of Elohim.
