Romans 6

6
1What then shall we say? Are we to persist in Chet (sin) in order that the unmerited Chen v'Chesed Hashem might increase?
2Chas v'shalom! Vi-bahlt (since) we have died to Chet, how can we still live in it?
3Or do you lack da'as that all we who were given a mikveh mayim tevilah into Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua were given a tevilah into Moshiachʼs histalkus, into his mavet (death)?
4So then we were co-buried, buried together with KIVRO#6:4 Isa 53:9 (Moshiachʼs kever) through a tevilah into mavet, in order that, just as Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was given the Techiyah (Resurrection) from HaMesim (the Dead ones) through the Kavod HaAv, so we also should have a halakhah (walk) [lifnei Hashem] in hitkhadshut (renewal, regeneration), in Chayyim Chadashim (New Life).
5For if we have become grown together with the very likeness of his histalkus, his mavet (death), we shall certainly also be grown together with the very likeness of his Techiyah from HaMesim (Resurrection).
6Having da'as of this, that, with Moshiach, our old humanity (in Adam) has been put to death on Moshiachʼs Etz#6:6 Dt 21:23 (Tree, [the Etz HaKelelat Hashem], the Tree of the Curse of G-d) in order that the etsem HaAdam HaChet (the essence of the sinful human condition) might be done away with, so that we might no longer serve Chet (sin).#6:6 cf. Ro 6:23
7For he who has died is declared niftar (freed, deceased) from Chet.
8But if we have died with Moshiach, we believe that we shall also live with him,
9Having da'as that Moshiach, having been given the Techiyah (Resurrection) from the Mesim (Dead ones), no longer dies, Mavet (death) and Histalkus no longer exercise control over him.
10For the Mavet Moshiach died, he died to Chet (sin) once and for all; but the Chayyim Moshiach lives, he lives to Hashem.
11So also you must reckon yourselves mesim (dead ones) to Chet (Sin) but Chayyim l'Hashem baMoshiach Yehoshua (alive to G-d in Messiah Yehoshua).
12Therefore, do not let Chet (Sin) reign in your mortal body to obey its ta'avot,#6:12 Ro 5:17,21
13And do not give Chet (sin) control of your natural capacities as neshek (weapons) of peysha (unrighteousness, transgression), but present yourselves to Hashem as ones alive from the Mesim and present to Hashem your natural capacities as neshek (weapons) of Tzedek Olamim.
14For Chet (sin) shall not exercise bailus (sovereignty, ownership, dominion) over you; for you are not under Gezetz#6:14 Ro 8:2 but under Chesed (Grace).
15What then? Should we commit averah, because we are not under Gezetz#6:15 see Ro 8:2 (Law) but under Chesed (Grace)? Chas v'shalom!
16Do you not know that when you give control of yourselves as someoneʼs avadim (slaves) to obey him, you are the avadim (slaves) of the one you obey, whether of Chet (Sin) resulting in mavet (death), or of Lishmo'a b'kol Hashem (Listening to the voice of Hashem, mishma'at, obedience) resulting in Tzedek Olamim?
17But Baruch Hashem (Blessed be G-d) that you used to be avadim (slaves) of#6:17 slave master Chet, but you gave your mishma'at shebalev (obedience from the heart) to the pattern of Torah#6:17 Isa 42:4 (the pnimiyus Torah of Moshiach) to which you were handed over.
18Having been set free from#6:18 slave master Chet (sin), you became an eved of the Tzidkat Hashem (the righteousness of G-d).
19I speak in human terms on account of the weakness of your frail fallen humanity. For just as you handed over your natural capacities as avadim (slaves) to tum'a (uncleanness) and to lawlessness which results in lawlessness, so now hand over your natural capacities as servants of Tzidkat Hashem which results in kedushah (holiness).
20For when you were avadim (slaves) of Chet, you were free in relation to Tzedek Olamim.
21What p'ri for Hashem did you produce then? Things for which you now have bushah (shame), for the end result of those things is mavet (death).
22But now, having been set free from#6:22 slave master Chet (sin) and having been made an eved Hashem (a servant of G-d), you have your p'ri for Hashem, resulting in kedushah, and the end is Chayyei Olam (Eternal Life).
23For the loin (wages) that#6:23 slave master Chet (Sin) pays out of its own payroll is mavet (death); however, the gracious matnat hachesed Hashem (the gift of the grace of G-d) is Chayyei Olam baMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu.
