Walking by the Spirit
(Ezekiel 36:16–38; Galatians 5:16–26)

1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ (the Anointed One) Jesus [who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit].a 2For in Christ (the Anointed One) Jesus (YHWH saves) the law of the Spirit {Pneumatos} of life set you [me]b free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin \in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin/.c He thus condemned sin in the flesh, 4so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit {pneuma}.

5Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit {pneuma} set their minds on the things of the Spirit {pneumatos}. 6The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit {pneumatos} is life and peace, 7because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God {Theon}: It does not submit to God’s {Theou} law, nor can it do so. 8Those controlled by the flesh \Those being in the flesh/d cannot please God {Theō}.

9You⁺, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit {pneumati}, if the Spirit {Pneuma} of God {Theou} lives in you⁺. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ (the Anointed One), he does not belong to Christ. 10But if Christ (the Anointed One) is in you⁺, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit {pneuma} is alive (yet the Spirit is life)e because of righteousness. 11And if the Spirit {Pneuma} of Him who raised Jesus (YHWH saves) from the dead is living in you⁺, He who raised Christ (the Anointed One) Jesus from the dead [raised Christ from the dead]f will also give life to your⁺ mortal bodies through His Spirit {Pneumatos}, who lives in you⁺.

Heirs with Christ

12Therefore, brothers (and sisters), we have an obligation, but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13For if you⁺ live according to the flesh, you⁺ will die; but if by the Spirit {pneumati} you⁺ put to death the deeds of the body, you⁺ will live. 14For all who are led by the Spirit {Pneumati} of God {Theou} are sons of God.

15For you⁺ did not receive a spirit {pneuma} of slavery that returns you to fear, but you⁺ received the Spirit of adoption to sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father {Patēr}!” 16The Spirit {Pneuma} Himself testifies with our spirit {pneumati} that we are God’s {Theou} children. 17And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God {Theou} and co-heirs with Christ (the Anointed One)—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.

Future Glory
(2 Corinthians 5:1–10)

18I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory {doxan} that will be revealed (uncovered) in us. 19The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God {Theou}. 20For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope 21that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom (liberty) of the children of God {Theou}.

22We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time. 23Not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit {Pneumatos}, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see? 25But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently.

26In the same way, the Spirit {Pneuma} helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words. 27And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit {Pneumatos}, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints (holy ones) according to the will of God {Theon}.

God Works in All Things
(Ephesians 1:3–14)

28And we know that God {theos} works all things together for the good of those who love {agapōsin} Him, who are called according to His purpose. 29For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified (rendered innocent); those He justified, He also glorified.

31What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things? 33Who will bring any charge against God’s {Theou} elect? It is God {Theos} who justifies. 34Who is there to condemn us? For Christ (the Anointed One) Jesus (YHWH saves), who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God {Theou}—and He is interceding for us.

More than Conquerors
(Psalm 44:1–26)

35Who shall separate us from the love {agapēs} of Christ (the Anointed One)? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written:

“For Your sake we face death all day long;

we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered <Psa 44:22>.”g

37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved {agapēsantos} us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels (messengers) nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers {dynameis}, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love {agapēs} of God {Theou} that is in Christ (the Anointed One) Jesus (YHWH saves) our Lord {Kyriō}.
