¹ Hence, there is no condemnation to them who do not walk according to the flesh, in Jeshu Meshiha.² For the law of the Spirit of life, which is in Jeshu Meshiha, hath set thee free from the law of sin and of death.³ Because the law was weak through the infirmity of the flesh, Aloha sent his Son in the likeness of the flesh of sin, on account of sin to condemn sin in his flesh;⁴ that the righteousness of the law might in us be fulfilled, who walk not in the flesh, but in the Spirit.⁵ For they who are in the flesh, of that flesh are mindful; and they who are of the Spirit, of that Spirit are mindful.⁶ For the mind of the flesh is death, and the mind of the Spirit life and peace.⁷ Because the mind of the flesh is enmity towards Aloha; for to the law of Aloha it is not subject, for it cannot be;⁸ and they who are in the flesh cannot please Aloha.⁹ But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if truly the Spirit of Aloha dwelleth in you. But if a man have not the Spirit of the Meshiha, this (man) is not his.

¹⁰ And if the Meshiha be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.¹¹ And if the Spirit of him who raised our Lord Jeshu Meshiha from among the dead dwell in you, he who raised our Lord Jeshu Meshiha from among the dead will also make alive your dead bodies, on account of his Spirit who dwelleth in you.¹² Now, my brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, that according to the flesh we should walk.¹³ For if after the flesh you live, you must die: but if, after the Spirit, the habitudes of the body you mortify, you live.¹⁴ For they who by the Spirit of Aloha are led, they are the sons of Aloha.¹⁵ For we have not received the spirit of servitude again unto fear, but we have received the Spirit of the adoption [fn] of sons, by whom we cry, Father, our Father! ¹⁶ And the Spirit himself witnesseth with our spirit, that we are the sons of Aloha.

¹⁷ And if sons, heirs also; heirs of Aloha, and the sons of the inheritance of Jeshu Meshiha. For if we suffer with him, with him also shall we be glorified.¹⁸ For I consider that the sufferings of this time are not equal to that glory which is to be revealed in us.¹⁹ For the whole creation hopeth and waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of Aloha.²⁰ For the creation hath been subjected to vanity, not willingly, [fn] but on account of him who subjected her, upon the hope ²¹ that the creation herself also shall be made free from the servitude of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the sons of Aloha.²² For we know that all creatures groan and travail until this day;²³ and not only they, but we also who have in us the first-fruit of the Spirit, groan within ourselves, and wait for the adoption, the redemption of our bodies.²⁴ For in hope we live: but hope that is seen is not hope; for if we see it, why hope we for it ?²⁵ But if we hope for that which is not seen, in patience we wait.

²⁶ So also the Spirit helpeth our infirmity: for what to pray for as we ought we know not; but the Spirit himself prayeth on our behalf in groanings unspoken.²⁷ But he who searcheth the hearts, he knoweth the mind of the Spirit, who, according to the will of Aloha, prayeth for the saints.²⁸ BUT we know that those who love Aloha, in every thing he helpeth them for good; them whom he set before that they might be called.
