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 .
*
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 .
*
And in the absence of the Torah I was once alive .
But when the mitzvoh (
note :)
commandment (:
note )
came ,
Chet Sin became alive ,
*
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 .
*
For Chet (
note :)
Sin (:
note ),
seizing its opportunity through the mitzvoh commandment ,
deceived me and ,
through the mitzvoh commandment ,
killed me .
*
So that the Torah is kedosha (
note :)
holy (:
note )
and the mitzvoh commandment is kedosha and yasharah and tovah .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
But if that which I do is what I do not want ,
I agree with the Torah that the Torah is good .
*
But now it is no longer I doing this /
bringing this about ,
but [
the power of ]
Chet (
note :)
Sin (:
note )
which dwells within me .
*
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 .
*
For I fail to do good as I wish ,
but haRah (
note :)
the evil (:
note )
which I do not wish is what I commit .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 ,
*
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 .
*
Wretched man am I !
Who will deliver me from the body of this mavet (
note :)
death (:
note )?
*
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 .
