09 December - Romans 8-10

Jude Fri Nov 23, 2018 6:39 am

My soul doth magnify my YAH, and my spirit hath rejoiced in EL my Saviour; For HE that is mighty hath done to me great things; and Holy is HIS Name. Now unto HIM who is ever present in my helpless estate; who is able to keep me from falling and to present me faultless before the presence of His Glory with exceeding joy, unto the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, the only wise EL our Saviour be honour and glory and majesty, dominion and power both now and for ever Halleluyah!

ROMANS 8

1There is, then, now no condemnation to those who are in Messiah יהושע, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

2For the Torah of the Spirit of the life in Messiah יהושע has set me free from the law of sin and of death.

3For 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,

4so that the righteousness of the Torah should be completed in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

5For 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.

6For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace.

7Because the mind of the flesh is enmity towards Elohim, for it does not subject itselfa to the Torah of Elohimb, neither indeed is it able,

8and those who are in the flesh are unable to please Elohim.

9But 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.

10And if Messiah is in you, the body is truly dead on account of sin, but the Spirit is life on account of righteousness.

11And 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.

12So then, brothers, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

13For 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.

14For as many as are led by the Spirit of Elohim, these are sons of Elohim.

15For 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.”

16The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of Elohim,

17and 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.

18For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the esteem that is to be revealed in us.

19For the intense longinga of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of Elohim.

20For the creation was subjected to futility, not from choice, but because of Him who subjected it, in anticipation,

21that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage to corruption into the esteemed freedom of the children of Elohim.

22For we know that all the creation groans together, and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.

23And not only so, but even we ourselves who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, we ourselves also groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

24For in this expectation we were saved, but expectation that is seen is not expectation, for when anyone sees, does he expect it?

25And if we expect what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with endurance.

26And in the same way the Spirit 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.

27And He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the set-apart ones according to Elohim.

28And we know that all matters work together for good to those who love Elohim, to those who are called according to His purpose.

29Because those whom He knew beforehand, He also ordained beforehand to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, for Him to be the first-born among many brothers.

30And whom He ordained beforehand, these He also called, and whom He called, these He also declared right. And whom He declared right, these He also esteemed.

31What then shall we say to this? If Elohim is for us, who is against us?

32Truly, 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?

33Who shall bring any charge against Elohim’s chosen ones? It is Elohim who is declaring right.

34Who is he who is condemning? It is Messiah who died, and furthermore is also raised up, who is also at the right hand of Elohim, who also makes intercession for us.

35Who shall separate us from the love of the Messiah? Shall pressure, or distress, or persecution, or scarcity of food, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

36As it has been written, “For Your sake we are killed all day long, we are reckoned as sheep of slaughter.”

37But in all this we are more than overcomers through Him who loved us.

38For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor messengers nor principalities nor powers, neither the present nor the future,

39nor height nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of Elohim which is in Messiah יהושע our Master.

ROMANS 9

1I speak the truth in Messiah, I do not lie, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Set-apart Spirit,

2that I have great sadness and continual grief in my heart.

3For I myself could have wished to be banished from Messiah for the sake of my brothers, my relatives according to the flesh,

4who are Yisra’ĕlites, whose is the adoption, and the esteem, and the covenants, and the giving of the Torah, and the worship, and the promises,

5whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Messiah according to the flesh, who is over all, Elohim-blessed forever. Amĕn.

6However, it is not as though the word of Elohim has failed. For they are not all Yisra’ĕl who are of Yisra’ĕl,

7neither are they all children because they are the seed of Aḇraham, but, “In Yitsḥaq your seed shall be called.”

8That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of Elohim, but the children of the promise are reckoned as the seed.

9For this is the word of promise, “At this time I shall come and Sarah shall have a son.”

10And not only so, but Riḇqah having conceived by one, our father Yitsḥaq.

11Yet, before they were born or had done any good or evil – in order that the purpose of Elohim, according to choice, might stand, not of works but of Him who calls –

12it was said to her, “The greater shall serve the lesser,”

13as it has been written, “Ya‛aqoḇ I have loved, but Ěsaw I have hated.”

14What, then, shall we say? Is there unrighteousness with Elohim? Let it not be!

15For He says to Mosheh, “I shall favour whomever I favour, and I shall have compassion on whomever I have compassion.”

16So, then, it is not of him who is wishing, nor of him who is running, but of Elohim who shows favour.

17For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this same purpose I have raised you up, to show My power in you, and that My Name be declared in all the earth.”

18So, then, He favours whom He wishes, and He hardens whom He wishes.

19Then you shall say to me, “Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His counsel?”

20But who are you, O man, to talk back to Elohim? Shall that which is formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?”

21Does not the potter have authority over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for value and another not for value?

22And if Elohim, desiring to show wrath, and to make His power known, with much patience tolerated the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,

23and that He might make known the riches of His esteem on vessels of compassion, which He had prepared beforehand for esteem,

24even whom He called, not only us of the Yehuḏim, but also of the gentiles?

25As He says in Hoshĕa too, “I shall call them My people, who were not My people, and her beloved, who was not beloved.”

26“And it shall be in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ there they shall be called sons of the living Elohim.”

27And Yeshayahu cries out on behalf of Yisra’ĕl, “Though the number of the children of Yisra’ĕl be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved.

28For He is bringing a matter to an end, and is cutting it short in righteousness, because יהוה shall cut short a matter on the earth.”

29And as Yeshayahu said before, “If יהוה of hosts had not left us a seed, we would have become like Seḏom, and we would have been made like Amorah.”

30What shall we say then? That gentiles not following after righteousness, have obtained righteousness, even the righteousness of belief,

31but Yisra’ĕl following after the Torah of righteousness, has not arrived at the Torah of righteousness.

32Why? Because it was not of belief, but as by works of Torah. For they stumbled at the Stone of stumbling.

33As it has been written, “See, I lay in Tsiyon a Stone of stumbling and a Rock that makes for falling, and everyone who is believing on Him shall not be put to shame.”

ROMANS 10

1Truly brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to Elohim for Yisra’ĕl is for deliverance.

2For I bear them witness that they have an ardour for Elohim, but not according to knowledge.

3For not knowing the righteousness of Elohim, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not subject themselves toa the righteousness of Elohim.

4For Messiah is the goala of the ‘Torah unto righteousness’to everyone who believes.

5For Mosheh writes about the righteousness which is of the Torah, “The man who does these shall live by them.”

6But the righteousness of belief speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who shall ascend into the heavens?’ ” – that is, to bring Messiah down; or,

7“ ‘Who shall descend into the abyss?’ ” – that is, to bring Messiah up from the dead.

8But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” – that is, the word of belief which we are proclaiming:

9That if you confess with your mouth the Master יהושע and believe in your heart that Elohim has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.

10For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, and so is saved.

11Because the Scripture says, “Whoever puts his trust in Him shall not be put to shame.”

12Because there is no distinction between Yehuḏite and Greek, for the same Master of all is rich to all those calling upon Him.

13For “everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.”

14How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without one proclaiming?

15And how shall they proclaim if they are not sent? As it has been written, “How pleasant are the feet of those who bring the Good News of peace, who bring the Good News of the good!”

16However, not all obeyed the Good News. For Yeshayahu says, “יהוה, who has believed our report?”

17So then belief comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Elohim.

18But I ask, Did they not hear? Yea indeed, “Their voice went out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.”

19But I ask, Did Yisra’ĕl not know? First Mosheh says, “I shall provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation, I shall enrage you by an unwise nation.”

20And Yeshayahu boldly says, “I was found by those not seeking Me, I was made manifest to those not asking for Me.”

21And to Yisra’ĕl He says, “All day long I have stretched out My hands to a disobedient and back-talking people.”
