Romans 6 Tree of Life Version (TLV) Who Is Your Master?
6 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may abound? 2 May it never be! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that all of us who were immersed into Messiah Yeshua were immersed into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried together with Him through immersion into death—in order that just as Messiah was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.
6 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may abound? 2 May it never be! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that all of us who were immersed into Messiah Yeshua were immersed into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried together with Him through immersion into death—in order that just as Messiah was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have become joined together in the likeness of His
death, certainly we also will be joined together in His resurrection— 6 knowing
our old man was crucified with Him so that the sinful body might be done away
with, so we no longer serve sin. 7 For he who has died is set free from sin.
8 Now if we have died with Messiah, we believe that we shall
also live with Him. 9 We know that Messiah, having been raised from the dead,
no longer dies; death no longer is master over Him. 10 For the death He died,
He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God. 11 So also
continually count yourselves both dead to sin and alive to God in Messiah Yeshua.
12 Therefore do not let sin rule in your mortal body so that you
obey its desires. 13 And do not keep yielding your body parts to sin as tools
of wickedness; but yield yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and
your body parts as tools of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not be
master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but
under grace? May it never be! 16 Do you not know that to whatever you yield
yourselves as slaves for obedience, you are slaves to what you obey—whether to
sin resulting in death, or to obedience resulting in righteousness? 17 But
thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed
the form of teaching under which you were placed; 18 and after you were set
free from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.
19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.
For just as you yielded your body parts as slaves to uncleanness and
lawlessness, leading to more lawlessness, so now yield your body parts as
slaves to righteousness, resulting in holiness. 20 For when you were slaves of
sin, you were free with regard to righteousness. 21 So then, what outcome did
you have that you are now ashamed of? For the end of those things is death. 22
But now, having been set free from sin and having become enslaved to God, you
have your fruit resulting in holiness. And the outcome is eternal life. 23 For
sin’s payment[a] is death, but God’s gracious gift is eternal life in Messiah
Yeshua our Lord.

John 6 Tree of Life Version (TLV) New Manna in the Wilderness
6 Afterwards, Yeshua went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also known as the Sea of Tiberias. 2 A large crowd kept following Him, because they were watching the signs He was performing on the sick. 3 Then Yeshua went up the mountainside and sat down there with His disciples. 4 Passover, the Jewish feast, was near.

5 Lifting up His eyes and seeing a large crowd coming to Him,
Yeshua said to Philip, “Where will we buy bread so these may eat?” 6 Now Yeshua
was saying this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.
7 Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii[a] isn’t enough to
buy bread for each to get a little bit!”
8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to
Him, 9 “There’s a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish—but what’s
that for so many?”
10 Yeshua said, “Make the people recline.” There was much grass
in the area. So the men reclined, about five thousand in number. 11 Then Yeshua
picked up the loaves. And having given thanks, He distributed bread to everyone
who was reclining. He did the same with the fish, as much as they wanted.
12 When the people were full, Yeshua said to His disciples, “Gather
up the leftovers, so nothing is wasted.” 13 So they gathered them and filled
twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left
over by those who had finished eating.
14 When the people saw the sign that Yeshua performed, they
began to say, “This is most certainly the Prophet who is to come into the
world!” [b] 15 Realizing that they were about to come and seize Him by force to
make Him king, Yeshua withdrew again to the mountain, Himself alone.
The Savior on the Sea
16 Now when evening came, Yeshua’s disciples went down to the sea. 17 Getting into a boat, they set out to cross the sea toward Capernaum. By now it had become dark, and still Yeshua had not come to them. 18 A great wind began to blow, stirring up the sea.

19 After they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia,[c]
they catch sight of Yeshua walking on the sea, approaching the boat. They were
terrified! 20 But Yeshua says to them, “I am. Don’t be afraid.” [d] 21 Then
they wanted to take Him into the boat, and right away the boat reached the
shore where they were headed.
The Bread from Heaven
22 The next day, the crowd remaining on the other side of the sea realized that no other boat had been there except the one, and that Yeshua hadn’t gone into the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone away alone. 23 Some other boats from Tiberias came close to the place where they had eaten the bread after the Master had given thanks. 24 So when the crowd realized that neither Yeshua nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and set off for Capernaum to find Him. 25 When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”

26 Yeshua responded to them, “Amen, amen I tell you, you seek Me
not because you saw signs, but because you ate all the bread and were filled.
27 Don’t work for food that spoils, but for the food that endures to eternal
life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on Him, God the Father has put
the seal of approval.”
28 Then they said to Him, “What shall we do to perform the works
of God?”
29 Yeshua answered them, “This is the work of God, to trust in
the One He sent.”
30 So they said to Him, “Then what sign do You perform, so that
we may see and believe You? What work do You do? 31 Our fathers ate the manna
in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘Out of heaven He gave them bread to
eat.’”[e]
32 Yeshua answered them, “Amen, amen I tell you, it isn’t Moses
who has given you bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread
from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the One coming down from heaven and
giving life to the world.”
34 So they said to Him, “Sir, give us this bread from now on!”
35 Yeshua said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes
to Me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in Me will never be thirsty.
36 But I told you that you have seen Me, yet you do not believe. 37 Everyone
the Father gives Me will come to Me, and anyone coming to Me I will never
reject. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to do My own will but the will
of the One who sent Me.
39 “Now this is the will of the One who sent Me, that I lose not
one of all He has given Me, but raise each one on the last day. 40 For this is
the will of My Father, that everyone who sees the Son and trusts in Him may
have eternal life; and I will raise him up on the last day.”
41 Some of the Judeans[f] started to grumble about Him, because
He said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They were saying,
“Isn’t this Yeshua the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can
He now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”
43 Yeshua answered, “Stop grumbling among yourselves! 44 No one
can come to Me unless My Father who sent Me draws him—and I will raise him up
on the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets, ‘They will all be taught by
God.’[g] Everyone who has listened and learned from the Father comes to Me. 46
Not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God—He has seen
the Father.
47 “Amen, amen I tell you, he who believes has eternal life. 48
I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they
died. 50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat and
not die. 51 I am the living bread, which came down from heaven. If anyone eats
this bread, he will live forever. This bread is My flesh, which I will give for
the life of the world.”
52 Then the Jews began arguing with one another, “How can this
man give us His flesh to eat?”
53 So Yeshua said to them, “Amen, amen I tell you, unless you
eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in
yourselves. 54 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I
will raise him up on the last day.
55 “For My flesh is real food and My blood is real drink. 56 He
who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57 Just as
the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so the one who eats
of Me will also live because of Me. 58 This is the bread that came down from
heaven—not like the bread your fathers ate and then died. He who eats this
bread will live forever.”
59 He said these things while teaching at the synagogue in
Capernaum.
Fallout from a Hard Teaching
60 So when many of His disciples heard this, they said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can listen to it?”
60 So when many of His disciples heard this, they said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can listen to it?”
61 But Yeshua knew His disciples were murmuring, so He said to
them, “Does this offend you? 62 Then what if you see the Son of Man going back
up to the place where He was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the
flesh is of no benefit. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and are life!
64 Yet some of you do not trust.” Yeshua knew from the beginning who were the
ones who did not trust, as well as which one would betray Him.
65 Then He told them, “For this reason I’ve told you that no one
can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by the Father.”
66 From this time, many of His disciples left and quit walking
with Him. 67 So Yeshua said to the Twelve, “You don’t want to leave also, do
you?”
68 Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You
have the words of eternal life! 69 We have trusted and have come to know that
you are the Holy One of God.”
70 Yeshua answered them, “Didn’t I choose you, the Twelve? Yet
one of you is the adversary!” 71 Now He was speaking of Judah, the son of Simon
of Kriot—for he, one of the Twelve, was about to betray Him.
