Don't go back to the place Jesus rescued you from. Don't let your past condemn you after you've been justified before the throne of grace. Understand that you are completely free—free to worship, pray, and draw near to God. Don't let anything in this world enslave you, but walk in the freedom Christ has given you.

Therefore, now there is no gezar din (verdict) of ashem (guilty), no harsha'ah (condemnation as guilty) for those in Moshiach Yehoshua.And if Moshiach is in you, the body (of the basar) is dead because of sin but the Ruach is life for you because of Tzedek (righteousness).But if the Ruach Hakodesh of Him who gave Yehoshua Techiyah (Resurrection) from the Mesim dwells in you, He who raised Moshiach from the Mesim will give Chayyim to your mortal bodies as well, through His indwelling Ruach Hakodesh in you.So then, Achim b'Moshiach, we are under no obligation to the basar to live in accordance with the basar.For if you live in accordance with the basar you will certainly die; but if by the Ruach Hakodesh you put to death the [shameful] acts of the body, you will live.For as many as are led by the Ruach HaElohim, they are bnei HaElohim.For you did not receive a spirit of avdut, falling back into pachad (fear); but you received the Ruach of Mishpat HaBanim (Adoption), having Ma'amad HaBanim (the standing as Sons), by which we cry, “Abba, Avinu!”The Ruach Hakodesh himself bears eidus (witness) with our ruach that we are bnei HaElohim.And if bnei HaElohim, then also yoreshim (heirs) of G-d and co-heirs together with Moshiach, provided that we suffer with him in order that we might also be set in kavod (glory, eschatological glorification) with him. For I reckon that the yisurim (suffering) of zman hazeh (of this present time) are not to be compared with the coming kavod (glory) to be revealed in us.For the eager expectation of HaBri'ah (the Creation) awaits the heavenly hisgalus (revelation, unveiling) of the bnei HaElohim.For the Torah of the Ruach HaKodesh that gives Chayyim in Moshiach Yehoshua has set me free from the “Gezetz” of Chet and Mavet.

But because of the achei sheker (false brothers) b'Moshiach, the ones secretly brought in, the ones who crept in to spy out our DEROR (freedom) which we have in Moshiach Yehoshua al menat (in order that) they might enslave us.To these enslavers not for one hour did we yield in subjection, that HaEmes of the Besuras HaGeulah might continue and remain with you.

For through emunah in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, you are all yeladim of Elohim.For as many as have had a tevilah into Moshiach have clothed yourselves with Moshiach.There is not Yehudi nor Yevani (Greek), there is not eved (servant) nor Ben Chorin (freedman), there is not zachar (male) nor nekevah (female), for you are all echad in Moshiach Yehoshua.And, if you belong to Moshiach, then you are of the ZERA of Avraham Avinu, you are yoreshim (heirs) according to the havtachah (promise).

Let there be todah in your levavot.Let the dvar of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach make its mishkan in you richly, in all chochmah and in all Moshiachʼs pnimiyus haTorah (innermost Torah teaching) and words of chizzuk, ministering to one another with Tehillim, shirim, and neshamah niggunim miRuach Hakodesh (soul melodies from the Ruach Hakodesh) with gratitude, singing in your levavot to Hashem.And whatever thing you do, whether in dvar or in ma'aseh, do all things b'Shem Adoneinu Yehoshua, giving todot to Elohim HaAv through him. Nashim (wives), make yourselves accountable to your ba'alim (husbands), as is proper in Adoneinu.Ba'alim, have ahavah for your nashim and do not be bitter against them.Place your machshavot (thoughts) above (in Shomayim), not on the things of the Olam Hazeh.Yeladim, obey your horim (parents) in all things, for this is well pleasing in Adoneinu.Avot, do not provoke your yeladim, lest they be disheartened.Avadim (servants), each of you obey in all things your adon according to the basar, not with eye service as pleasers of Bnei Adam, but with tom lev, with yirat Shomayim.Whatever you do, be po'alim (workers) who with their neshamah work facing Adoneinu and not Bnei Adam,Having da'as that from Adoneinu you will receive the sachar of the nachalah (alloted inheritance). Serve Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.For the one doing wrong will be repaid for his wrong, ki ein masso panim im Hashem (for there is no respect of persons with G-d, no partiality).For you died and the Chayyim of you has become nistar (hidden) with Moshiach in Hashem.

Therefore, now there is no gezar din (verdict) of ashem (guilty), no harsha'ah (condemnation as guilty) for those in Moshiach Yehoshua.And if Moshiach is in you, the body (of the basar) is dead because of sin but the Ruach is life for you because of Tzedek (righteousness).But if the Ruach Hakodesh of Him who gave Yehoshua Techiyah (Resurrection) from the Mesim dwells in you, He who raised Moshiach from the Mesim will give Chayyim to your mortal bodies as well, through His indwelling Ruach Hakodesh in you.So then, Achim b'Moshiach, we are under no obligation to the basar to live in accordance with the basar.For if you live in accordance with the basar you will certainly die; but if by the Ruach Hakodesh you put to death the [shameful] acts of the body, you will live.For as many as are led by the Ruach HaElohim, they are bnei HaElohim.For you did not receive a spirit of avdut, falling back into pachad (fear); but you received the Ruach of Mishpat HaBanim (Adoption), having Ma'amad HaBanim (the standing as Sons), by which we cry, “Abba, Avinu!”The Ruach Hakodesh himself bears eidus (witness) with our ruach that we are bnei HaElohim.And if bnei HaElohim, then also yoreshim (heirs) of G-d and co-heirs together with Moshiach, provided that we suffer with him in order that we might also be set in kavod (glory, eschatological glorification) with him. For I reckon that the yisurim (suffering) of zman hazeh (of this present time) are not to be compared with the coming kavod (glory) to be revealed in us.For the eager expectation of HaBri'ah (the Creation) awaits the heavenly hisgalus (revelation, unveiling) of the bnei HaElohim.For the Torah of the Ruach HaKodesh that gives Chayyim in Moshiach Yehoshua has set me free from the “Gezetz” of Chet and Mavet.For HaBri'ah (the Creation) was subjected to hevel (futility), not willingly, but on account of Him who subjected it, in tikvah (hope),Because HaBri'ah also itself will be set free from the avdut (slavery) of corruption into the deror (freedom) of the kavod (glory) of the bnei HaElohim.For we have da'as that the whole Bri'ah groans and suffers the chevlei leydah (pangs of childbirth) until now.And not only so, but also we ourselves who have the bikkurim (first fruits) of the Ruach Hakodesh also groan within ourselves, eagerly awaiting the Mishpat HaBanim Adoption, that is, the pedut geviyyateinu for the Techiyah from HaMesim.For in tikvah (hope) we were delivered in eschatological salvation. But tikvah (hope) which is seen is not tikvah, for who hopes for what he sees?But if we have tikvah for what we do not see, we eagerly await it with savlanut.In the same way, the Ruach Hakodesh helps us in our weakness. For as we daven, we do not know as we should for what to make tefillos (prayers), but the Ruach HaKodesh Himself intercedes on our behalf with labor pang groans not intelligibly uttered.And He who searches the levavot knows what is the way of thinking of the Ruach Hakodesh, because He intercedes as G-d would have it on behalf of the Kedoshim.And we have da'as that for those who love Hashem everything co-operates toward HaTov for those who are HaKeru'im (the summoned, called ones) according to the etzah (wisdom) of the tochnit Hashem (G-dʼs purposeful and willed plan or goal).For those Hashem had da'as of beterem (beforehand), Hashem also decided upon from the beginning to be conformed to the demut (likeness) of Hashemʼs Zun fun der Oybershter, that he should be HaBechor (Firstborn) among many Achim b'Moshiach.For what the Gezetz was unable to do in that it was weak through the basar, G-d sent his own Zun fun der Oybershter in the very demut (likeness) of the basar of sinful humanity and as a chattat (sin offering, sin atoning sacrifice), and both pronounced and effected a sentence of death on HaChet baBasar (Sin in the Flesh, in the fallen old humanity),And those Hashem decided upon from the beginning Hashem also summoned; and those Hashem summoned, Hashem also acquitted and pronounced to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM; and those Hashem acquitted and pronounced to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM, Hashem also set in eternal kavod (glory).In view of these things, what therefore shall we say? If Hashem is for us, who is against us?He who indeed did not spare His own Zun fun der Oybershter, but gave him up for us all, how shall He not also with him give us all things.Who will bring charges against the Bechirei HaElohim (chosen ones of Hashem)? It is Hashem who acquits and pronounces to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM (justified with G-d).Who is there to bring a judgment of harsha'ah (condemnation, to condemn to Onesh Gehinnom)? It is Moshiach Yehoshua who died, rather was kam litechiyah (raised to resurrection), who also is at LIMIN HASHEM (the right hand of G-d), who also intercedes on our behalf.Who will separate us from the Ahavas Moshiach (love of Moshiach)? Tzoros (affliction, trouble), or distress, or redifot (persecutions), or hunger, or nakedness, or danger, or cherev (sword)?As it is written, KI ALECHA HORAGNU KOL HAYOM NECHESHAVNU K'TZON TIVCHAH (For Your sake we are being killed all the day; we are reckoned as sheep for slaughter).But in all these things we prevail bichlal (entirely) through Him who had ahavah for us.For I am convinced that neither Histalkus nor Chayyim nor Malachim nor Rulers, neither things present nor things to come nor kochot (powers),Neither height nor depth nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the ahavas Hashem which is in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu.In order that the maleh chukat haTorah (the full statute requirement of the Torah) might be fulfilled in us whose halakhah is in the Derech [HaChayyim] (the Way [of Life]) according to the Ruach Hakodesh and not in accordance with the basar.
But now thus saith Hashem that created thee, O Ya'akov, And He that formed thee, O Yisroel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy shem; thou art Mine.Ye are My edim (witnesses), saith Hashem. And Avdi whom I have chosen, so that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that Ani Hu (I am He); before Me there was no El formed, neither shall there be after Me.I, even I, am Hashem; and apart from Me there is no Moshi'a.I have declared, and have saved, and I have proclaimed, when there was no zar (foreign) [g-d] among you; therefore you are My edim (witnesses), saith Hashem, that I am El.Yes, before the yom was, Ani Hu (I am He); and there is none that can deliver out of My Yad; I work, and who shall reverse it?Thus saith Hashem, your Go'el, the Kadosh Yisroel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and I shall bring down the fugitives, all of them, even the Kasdim (Chaldeans), whose shout of joy is in the ships.I am Hashem, your Kadosh, t the Boreh Yisroel, your Melech.Thus saith Hashem, which maketh a derech in the yam, and a path in the mayim azzim (mighty waters);Which drew out the merkavah and sus, the army and warrior; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick.Remember ye not the rishonot (former things) neither consider kadmoniyyot (the things of old).Hineni, I am doing a chadashah (new thing); now titzmach (it shall spring forth; Tzemach); shall ye not perceive it? I will even make a derech in the midbar, and neharot in the desert.When thou passest through the mayim, I will be with thee; and through the neharot, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the eish, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
I will say of Hashem, He is my refuge and my fortress; Elohai (my G-d); in Him will I trust.
These things I have spoken to you that in me you may have shalom. In the Olam Hazeh you have tribulation; but have lev same'ach. I have conquered the Olam Hazeh.
Being oppressed on every side but not being crushed, being perplexed but not in ye'ush (despair, atzvut),Being persecuted but not forsaken, being cast down but not destroyed,
For all have sinned and suffered want of the kavod Hashem.They are acquitted and accounted to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM as a matnat Hashem (gift of G-d) by the unmerited Chen v'Chesed Hashem (grace of G-d) through HaPedut (the ransom), which is in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua,
Yeladim, you are of Hashem, and you have overcome them, because greater is the One in you than the one in the Olam Hazeh.
For Adonoi echad hu (there is one G-d) and there is also metavekh echad (one melitz), one between Hashem and kol Bnei Adam, the man Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua,
For while we were still helpless, Moshiach died for the resha'im (the unrighteous persons, the wicked), doing so at the appointed time!For only rarely will someone die for a tzaddik (righteous man); though efsher (perhaps) it is conceivable that someone will dare to die for the tzaddik.But Hashem demonstrates His ahavah for us in that while we were still chote'im, Moshiach died for us.
To grant unto Avelei Tziyon (Mourners of Zion), giving unto them a flower wreath instead of ashes, the shemen sasson (oil of joy) instead of avel (mourning), the garment of tehillah (praise) for the ruach of keheh (fainting, a heavy spirit); that they might be called Eilei HaTzedek (Oaks of Righteousness), the planting of Hashem, that He might be glorified.
Come to me, all you who are burden-weary and heavy laden, and I will give you Shabbos menuchah.Take my ol (yoke) upon you and learn from me, for I am anav (humble) and have shiflut (lowliness) in lev (heart), and you will find menuchah (rest, security) for your nefashot (souls).They asked him, Tell us. Are you Hu Habah (He who comes) or is our chikiah (wait) to be for the Bias (Coming) of another?For my ol (yoke) is easy and my burden is light.
So, therefore, als (since) we have surrounding us so great an Anan Edim (Cloud of Witnesses), let us also lay aside every weighty impediment and easily ensnaring averos, and let us run with endurance and savlanut the race set before us,For they disciplined us for a short time, as seemed tov to them, but Hashem disciplines us for tov lanu in order that we might share in his kedushah.All musar for the moment seems not to be na'im (pleasant), but seems to bring agmat nefesh; yet afterwards to those who have been taught by musar, it yields the p'ri haShalom and the p'ri haTzedek.Therefore, “Bring chizzuk to the weak hands and the feeble knees;”And make the drakhim straight for your feet, so that the ever (limb, member) which is lame may not be dislocated, but rather have refu'ah (healing).Pursue shalom with kol Bnei Adam, and the kedushah without which no one will see Hashem.See to it that no one fall short of the Chen v'Chesed Hashem; that no SHORESH of merirut (bitterness) sprouting up may cause tzoros, and by it many be made teme'ot;Lest someone guilty of gilui arayot (sexual immorality) or some person who is mitnaged ladat (irreligious, opponent of religion) like Esav, who in exchange for one meal sold HaBechorah belonging to him.For you have da'as that even afterwards, when he desired to receive the nachalah of the bracha, he was rejected, for he found no place for teshuva, though he sought for it with tears.For you have not come to a Har that can be touched and to a blazing Eish and to choshech and gloom and storm,And to the blast of a shofar and the sound of devarim, which sound was such that the ones having heard begged that no further dvar be spoken to them.Fixing our gaze on the Mekhonen (Founder) of our faith, and the One who makes it Shleimut — Yehoshua, who because of the simcha set before him, endured HaEtz HaMoshiach, disregarding its bushah (shame), and “sat down at the right hand of the throne of G-d.”
For I have been shomer over the drakhei Hashem, and have not wickedly departed from Elohai.
Thou art my seter (hiding place, shelter); Thou shalt preserve me from tzoros; Thou shalt envelop me with songs of deliverance. Selah
Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee; let such as love Thy teshuah say continually: Hashem be magnified!
Therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was saying to the Yehudim who had emunah in him, If you remain in the dvar of me, then you are my talmidim indeed.And you will have da'as of HaEmes (the Truth) and HaEmes will give you cherut (freedom).
Because HaBri'ah also itself will be set free from the avdut (slavery) of corruption into the deror (freedom) of the kavod (glory) of the bnei HaElohim.
In Him we have the pedut (redemption, Geulah release on payment of ransom) through the dahm of Moshiach, the selichat chatoteinu (forgiveness of our sins), according to the osher (wealth) of His Chen v'Chesed Hashem (grace of G-d);
Having erased the hand-signed sefer of guilt choiv (debt), the heavenly indictment against us in the maleh chukat haTorah (full statute requirement of the Torah), which was against us. Moshiach has done away with this opposing record, having nailed it to Moshiachʼs Etz.Having disarmed the rulers and the authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, having triumphed over them by Moshiachʼs Etz.Therefore, let no one judge you [Goyim] in eating and in drinking or in respect to a yom tov (yontev) or a rosh chodesh or Shabbos;
The one practicing averos is of HaSatan, because from the beginning HaSatan sins. For this tachlis was made hisgalus of the Ben HaElohim, that he might destroy the pe'ulot HaSatan.
