DEAD TO SIN, ALIVE IN THE MESSIAH
So what say we? Abide we in sin that charism superabound? 2 So be it not! We who died to sin, how live we still therein? 3 Or Know you not, as many of us as are baptized into Yah Shua Messiah are baptized to his death? 4 So we are co-buried with him through baptism into death: so that, exactly as Messiah rose from the dead through the glory of the Father, even thus we also walk in newness of life. 5 For if we become co-planted in the likeness of his death, thus we also become rather of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old humanity is co-staked to inactivate the body of sin so that we no longer serve sin. 7 For whoever dies is justified from the sin. 8 And if we die with Messiah, we trust to also co-live with him: 9 knowing that Messiah, raised from the dead, dies no more; death overlords him no more. 10 For in that he died, he died to sin once: but in that he lives, he lives to Elohim. 11 Thus indeed, also reckon yourselves dead to sin, and living to Elohim in Yah Shua Messiah our Adonay. 12
PRESENT YOUR MEMBERS AS WEAPONS OF JUSTNESS
So neither let sin reign in your mortal body to obey its pantings: 13 nor present your members as weapons of injustice to sin: but yield yourselves to Elohim, as living from the dead and your members as weapons of justness to Elohim. 14 For sin overlords you not: for you are not under the torah, but under charism. 15 So what? Sin we, because we are not under the torah, but under charism? So be it not. 16 Know you not, that to whomever you yield yourselves as servants to obedience, you are servants to whomever you obey - indeed either of sin to death or of obedience to justness? 17 And charism to Elohim, that you, having been the servants of sin, and from the heart you obeyed that type of doctrine wherein you were delivered. 18 And so being liberated from sin, you became subservient to justness. 19 I word as a human because of the frailty of your flesh: for exactly as you presented your members as servants to impurity and to torah violations to torah violations; thus even now present your members servants to justness - to holiness. 20 For when you were servants of sin, you were liberated from justness. 21 So what fruit had you in those whereof you are now ashamed? For the completion/shalom of those is death. 22 And now, being liberated from sin and being subservient to Elohim, you have your fruit to holiness and the completion/shalom - eternal life. 23 For the wages of the sin is death; but the charisma of Elohim is eternal life in Yah Shua Messiah our Adonay. 7 1
ANALOGY OF MARRIAGE
Or know you not, brothers, for I speak to them who know the torah, how that the torah overlords a human as long time as he lives? 2 For the woman under man is bound to her man by the torah; but whenever the man dies, she is inactivated from the torah of her man. 3 So whenever, while her man lives she becomes to another man, she is oracled as an adulteress: and whenever her man dies, she is liberated from that torah; so that she is no adulteress, though she becomes to another man. 4 So my brothers, you also are deathified to the torah through the body of the Messiah; to become to another - to him who rose from the dead, so that we bear fruit to Elohim. 5 For when we were in the flesh, the sufferings of sins, through the torah, energized in our members to bear fruit to death. 6 But now we are inactivated from the torah, being dead wherein we were held; to serve in newness of spirit and not in the antiquity of the scribing. 7 So what say we? Is the torah sin? So be it not. Rather, I knew not sin, except through the torah: nor knew I panting, except the torah worded, Pant not. 8 And the sin, taking opportunity through the misvah, worked all panting in me. For apart from the torah, sin is dead. 9 For formerly apart from the torah, I lived: but when the misvah came, sin relived and I died. 10 And the misvah for life, I found for death. 11 For sin, taking opportunity through the misvah, seduced me and thereby slaughtered me. 12 So indeed the torah is holy and the misvah holy and just and good. 13
TWO NATURES UNDER THE TORAH
So has the good become my death? So be it not. But sin, manifest as sin, to work death in me through the good; so that through the misvah sin becomes exceeding sinful. 14 For we know the torah is spiritual: and I am fleshly, sold under sin. 15 For what I work, I know not: for what I will, I transact not; but what I hate, I do. 16 So if I do what I not will, I assent with the torah that it is good. 17 So now it is not still I who work it, but the sin dwelling in me. 18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good: for to will is present with me; but to work good, I find not. 19 For the good I will, I do not: but the evil I do not will, I transact. 20 And if I do what I not will, it is not still I who works, but sin that dwells in me. 21 So I find the torah, that, when I will to do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the torah of Elohim after the inward human: 23 and I see another torah in my members, warring against the torah of my mind and capturing me to the torah of sin being in my members. 24 Miserable human - I! Who rescues me from the body of this death? 25 I eucharistize Elohim through Yah Shua Messiah our Adonay. So indeed with the mind I serve the torah of Elohim; and with the flesh, the torah of sin. 8 1
THE TORAH OF THE SPIRIT; LIFE IN THE MESSIAH
So there is now no condemnation to them who are in Messiah Yah Shua. *not in mss; but see 8:4 2 For the torah of the Spirit of life in Messiah Yah Shua liberates me from the torah of sin and death. 3 For the torah, being incapable, - frail through the flesh, Elohim sending his own Son in the likeness of the flesh of sin; and for sin, condemned the sin in the flesh: 4 to fulfill/shalam the judgment of the torah in us, who walk not after flesh, but after Spirit. 5
IN FLESH VS IN SPIRIT
For they being after flesh, think of the flesh; and they after Spirit, of the Spirit. 6 For the thought of the flesh, is death; but the thought of the spirit, life and shalom. 7 Because the thought of the flesh is enmity to Elohim: for it neither subjugates to the torah of Elohim nor indeed can. 8 So they who are in flesh, cannot please Elohim. 9 And you are not in flesh, but in Spirit whenever the Spirit of Elohim dwell in you. and if one has not the Spirit of Messiah, he is none of his. 10 And if Messiah is in you, the body is indeed dead because of sin; and the Spirit is life because of justness. 11 But if the Spirit of him who raised Yah Shua from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Messiah from the dead also enlivens your mortal bodies through his Spirit dwelling in you. 12 So then brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh - to live after the flesh. 13 For if you live after flesh, you are about to die: but if you, through Spirit, deathify the functions of the body, you live. 14 For as many as are led by Spirit of Elohim, are the sons of Elohim. 15
THE SPIRIT OF SONSHIP
For you take not the spirit of servitude again to awe; but you take the Spirit of sonship, wherein we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The self-same Spirit co-witnesses with our spirit, that we are the children of Elohim: 17 and if children, then heirs - heirs of Elohim - and indeed co-heirs with Messiah; whenever we co-suffer to also co-glorify. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present season are not worthy of the glory about to be unveiled * in us. *verb of Revelation 19 For the intense anticipation of the creature awaits the apocalypse of the sons of Elohim. 20 For the creature subjugated to vanity - not voluntarily but through him who subjugated in hope, 21 so that the creature itself also liberates from the servitude of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of Elohim. 22 For we know that all creation co-sighs and co-travails in pain until now: 23 and not only they, but we also, who have the firstlings of the Spirit, even we also sigh among ourselves, awaiting the sonship - the redemption of our body. 24 For we are saved by hope: but hope seen is not hope: for why still hope for what one sees? 25 And if we hope for what we see not, thus we, through endurance, await. 26
THE INTERCESSORY MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Likewise the Spirit also co-helps our frailties: for we know not what to pray for according as we must: but the Spirit intercedes exceedingly for us with unutterable sighs. 27 And he who searches the hearts knows the thought of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the holy according to the will of Elohim. 28 And we know that all co-works to good to them who love Elohim, to them being the called according to his prothesis. 29
THE SEQUENCE OF THE PROTECTION OF ELOHIM
For whom he foreknew, he also predetermined - conformed to the icon of his Son, to his being the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And whom he predetermined, he also called: and whom he called, he also justified: and whom he justified, he also glorified. 31
NINE QUESTIONS, DIRECT AND RHETORICAL
So what say we to these? If Elohim is for us, who is against us? 32 - Who indeed spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how indeed, with him, grants he us not also charism with all? 33 Who accuses the select of Elohim? Elohim who justifies? 34 Who condemns? Messiah who died, yes rather, who rose - who is even at the right of Elohim - who also intercedes for us? 35 Who separates us from the love of the Messiah? - Tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword? 36 Exactly as scribed, For your sake we are deathified all the day long - reckoned as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Rather, in all these we are exceedingly triumphant through him who loved us. Psalm 44:22 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life nor angels nor hierarchies nor dynamis nor the present nor the about to be 39 nor height nor depth nor any other creation can separate us from the love of Elohim in Messiah Yah Shua our Adonay. 9 1
THE SELECTION OF YISRA EL BY ELOHIM
I word the truth in Messiah; I lie not; my conscience also co-witnesses in the Holy Spirit; 2 that I have mega sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart. 3 For I vowed - I myself to be anathema from the Messiah for my brothers - my kin according to the flesh: 4 who are Yisra Eliym; to whom are the sonship and the glory and the covenants and the setting of the torah and the liturgy and the pre-evangelisms; 5 whose are the fathers and of whom as concerning the flesh the Messiah came, being over all - Elohim eulogized to the eons. Amen. 6 Not such as though the word of Elohim failed. For neither are they of Yisra El, all Yisra Eliym: 7 nor because they are the sperma of Abraham, all children: but, In Yischaq is your sperma called. Genesis 21:12 8 That is, the children of the flesh, are not the children of Elohim: but the children of the pre-evangelism are reckoned to the sperma. 9 For this is the word of pre-evangelism, At this season I come, and Sarah has a son. Genesis 18:10 10 And not only so; but also Rebekah having coition by one, even by our father Yischaq; 11 neither being yet birthed, nor having transacted any good or evil, that the prothesis of Elohim according to selection abide, not of works, but of him who calls; 12 It was rhetorized to her, The greater serves the lesser. Genesis 25:23 13 Exactly as scribed, Yaaqov I loved, and Esav I hated. Malachi 1:2, 3 14 So what say we? Injustice with Elohim? So be it not. 15 For he words to Mosheh, I mercy whomever I mercy and I compassion whomever I compassion. 16 - so it is neither of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of Elohim who mercies. 17 For the scripture words to Paroh, Even to this I raised you, to indicate my dynamis in you and to evangelize my name in all the earth. Hosea 1:10 18 So, whomever he wills, he mercies; and whomever he wills, he hardens. 19 So you say to me, Why blames he still? For who withstands his counsel? 20 Yet so, O humanity, who are you to contradict Elohim? Says the molded to the molder, Why made you me thus? 21 Or has not the potter authority over the clay - to make of the same lump one vessel indeed to honor and another to dishonor? 22 And if Elohim wills to indicate his wrath and to make known his ability, bears in much patience the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction: 23 and to make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, whom he previously prepared for glory, 24 - us, whom he called, not of the Yah Hudiym only, but also of the goyim? 25 As he also words in Hoshea, I call the Not my people, My people; and the Not beloved, Beloved. 26 And so be it, that in the place they rhetorized, You, Not my people; there they call them, Sons of the living Elohim. Hosea 1:10 27 Yesha Yah also cries in behalf of Yisra El, Whenever the number of the sons of Yisra El become as the sand of the sea, only the remnant is saved: 28 for he completes/shalams the word and cuts it short in justness: because Yah Veh makes a short word upon the earth. Isaiah 10:22, 23 29 And exactly as Yesha Yah foretold, Unless Yah Veh Sabaoth had left behind a sperma, we had ever become as Sedom and ever likened as Amorah. 30
JUSTNESS BY TRUST
So what? Say we that the goyim who pursued not justness overtook justness - even the justness of trust? 31 And Yisra El, who pursued the torah of justness, attained not to the torah of justness? 32 Why? Because - not by trust, but as by the works of the torah. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; 33 exactly as scribed, Behold, I place in Siyon a stumblingstone and a rock of scandal: and whoever trusts thereon, shames not. Psalm 118:22, Isaiah 8:14, 28:16
DEAD TO SIN, ALIVE IN THE MESSIAH
So what say we? Abide we in sin that charism superabound? 2 So be it not! We who died to sin, how live we still therein? 3 Or Know you not, as many of us as are baptized into Yah Shua Messiah are baptized to his death? 4 So we are co-buried with him through baptism into death: so that, exactly as Messiah rose from the dead through the glory of the Father, even thus we also walk in newness of life. 5 For if we become co-planted in the likeness of his death, thus we also become rather of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old humanity is co-staked to inactivate the body of sin so that we no longer serve sin. 7 For whoever dies is justified from the sin. 8 And if we die with Messiah, we trust to also co-live with him: 9 knowing that Messiah, raised from the dead, dies no more; death overlords him no more. 10 For in that he died, he died to sin once: but in that he lives, he lives to Elohim. 11 Thus indeed, also reckon yourselves dead to sin, and living to Elohim in Yah Shua Messiah our Adonay. 12
PRESENT YOUR MEMBERS AS WEAPONS OF JUSTNESS
So neither let sin reign in your mortal body to obey its pantings: 13 nor present your members as weapons of injustice to sin: but yield yourselves to Elohim, as living from the dead and your members as weapons of justness to Elohim. 14 For sin overlords you not: for you are not under the torah, but under charism. 15 So what? Sin we, because we are not under the torah, but under charism? So be it not. 16 Know you not, that to whomever you yield yourselves as servants to obedience, you are servants to whomever you obey - indeed either of sin to death or of obedience to justness? 17 And charism to Elohim, that you, having been the servants of sin, and from the heart you obeyed that type of doctrine wherein you were delivered. 18 And so being liberated from sin, you became subservient to justness. 19 I word as a human because of the frailty of your flesh: for exactly as you presented your members as servants to impurity and to torah violations to torah violations; thus even now present your members servants to justness - to holiness. 20 For when you were servants of sin, you were liberated from justness. 21 So what fruit had you in those whereof you are now ashamed? For the completion/shalom of those is death. 22 And now, being liberated from sin and being subservient to Elohim, you have your fruit to holiness and the completion/shalom - eternal life. 23 For the wages of the sin is death; but the charisma of Elohim is eternal life in Yah Shua Messiah our Adonay. 7 1
