orthjbc@Romans:7:1 @ Do you not know, Achim b'Moshiach, for I speak to those who know the Torah, that the Torah exercises marut (note:)authority, rule(:note) over a man so long as he lives?

orthjbc@Romans:7:2 @ For the agunah is bound by the Torah to her husband while he lives; but if her husband dies she is released from the Torah of her husband.

orthjbc@Romans:7:3 @ Accordingly she will be named no'eh-fet (note:)adulteress(:note) if, while her husband lives, she becomes another man's. But if her ba'al husband dies, she is free from the Torah, so that she is no no'eh-fet adulteress if she becomes another man's.

orthjbc@Romans:7:4 @ So then, Achim b'Moshiach, you also were put to death in relation to the Torah through the basar of Moshiach (note:)Tehillim strkjv@16:9-10; (:note), in order that you might become another's, bound to the One who was raised from the mesim, so that we might bear p'ri for Hashem.

orthjbc@Romans:7:5 @ For when we were in the basar (note:)in the fallen condition of the old humanity(:note), the ta'avat besarim, the sinful passions through the Torah were working in our natural capacities, so as to bear p'ri for mavet death.

orthjbc@Romans:7:6 @ But now we have been released from the dominating ownership of the Torah, having died to that by which we were confined, so that we might serve in hitkhadeshut haRuach [haKodesh] (note:)the newness of the Holy Spirit(:note) and not in the oldness of the chumra strict adherence to the letter of the law, legalismsee strkjv@2:29. THE PROBLEM OF INDWELLING CHET AND ITS EXISTENTIAL POWER; FOR WITHOUT THE MAVET OF THE OLD HUMANITY AND THE HITKHADESHUT OF THE NEW HUMANITY IN MOSHIACH, THE CHUKIM OF THE TORAH AROUSES THE TA'AVOT HACHET, FOR MY BASAR, MY FALLEN HUMANITY, IS NOT MERELY PLAGUED BY THE YETZER HARAH, THE EVIL INCLINATION; IT IS BLIND AND HOSTILE TO G-D, SOLD UNDER THE POWER OF SLAVEMASTER CHET, UNSPIRITUAL 7:14, WITHOUT ANY GOOD 7:18, UNDER THE INBORN SWAY OF BONDAGE TO SIN 7:14, AND BEETZEM IN FACT CONSTITUTES THE CONDITION WHEREIN THE SINFUL LUSTS ARE IN OPERATION 7:5.

orthjbc@Romans:7:7 @ What then shall we say? That the Torah is considered as chet (note:)sin(:note)? Chas v'shalom! Nevertheless, I would not have experienced chet sin except through the Torah; for I would not have known chamdanut covetousness/greediness if the Torah had not said, LO TACHMOD "Thou shalt not covet"--SHEMOT strkjv@20:17.

orthjbc@Romans:7:8 @ But Chet (note:)Sin(:note), seizing its opportunity through the mitzvoh commandment, stirred up all manner of chamdanut covetousness in me. For in the absence of the Torah, Chet Sin is dead.

orthjbc@Romans:7:9 @ And in the absence of the Torah I was once alive. But when the mitzvoh (note:)commandment(:note) came, Chet Sin became alive,

orthjbc@Romans:7:10 @ and I died. The mitzvoh (note:)commandment(:note) intended as the Derech L'Chayim Way to Life proved for me a means to mavet death.

orthjbc@Romans:7:11 @ For Chet (note:)Sin(:note), seizing its opportunity through the mitzvoh commandment, deceived me and, through the mitzvoh commandment, killed me.

orthjbc@Romans:7:12 @ So that the Torah is kedosha (note:)holy(:note) and the mitzvoh commandment is kedosha and yasharah and tovah.

orthjbc@Romans:7:13 @ Did that which is good, then, become mavet (note:)death(:note) to me? Chas v'shalom! But Chet Sin, it was Chet, working mavet death in me through that which is good, in order that Chet might be shown as Chet Sin, and in order that Chet through the mitzvoh commandment might become chata'ah gedolah ad-m'od utterly sinful.

orthjbc@Romans:7:14 @ For we know that the Torah is Ruchanit (note:)Spiritual, of the Ruach Hakodesh(:note); but I am of the basar fallen humanity sold under the power of slavemaster Chet.

orthjbc@Romans:7:15 @ For I do not know what I do/what I bring about. For that which I commit is not what I want; but what I hate, that I do.

orthjbc@Romans:7:16 @ But if that which I do is what I do not want, I agree with the Torah that the Torah is good.

orthjbc@Romans:7:17 @ But now it is no longer I doing this/bringing this about, but [the power of] Chet (note:)Sin(:note) which dwells within me.

orthjbc@Romans:7:18 @ For I know that there dwells in me, that is, in my basar (note:)my fallen humanity(:note) no good thing; for the wish to do what is right lies ready at hand for me, but to accomplish the good is not.

orthjbc@Romans:7:19 @ For I fail to do good as I wish, but haRah (note:)the evil(:note) which I do not wish is what I commit.

orthjbc@Romans:7:20 @ But if what I do not wish is that which I do, it is no longer I doing it but [the power of] Chet (note:)Sin, Chet Kadmon, Original Sin(:note) which dwells within me.

orthjbc@Romans:7:21 @ I find then the chok (note:)law(:note), for me who wishes to do haTov the Good, that for me haRah the Evil lies ready at hand.

orthjbc@Romans:7:22 @ For I rejoice, I have simcha Torah, I have joy in the Torah of Hashem (note:)the Torah of G-d(:note), so far as the inner man is concerned,

orthjbc@Romans:7:23 @ but I see another Chok (note:)decree/law(:note) in my natural capacities at war with the Torah of my mind and making me a prisoner to the Chok law of Chet Sin which is [a power] in my natural capacities.

orthjbc@Romans:7:24 @ Wretched man am I! Who will deliver me from the body of this mavet (note:)death(:note)?

orthjbc@Romans:7:25 @ Hodu l'Hashem baMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu (note:)Thanks be to G-d in Yehoshua the Messiah our L-rd(:note). So then I myself with my mind serve the Torah of Hashem the Torah of G-d and with my basar I serve the Chok of Chet the Law of Sin.
