Romans 7:14-25

Romans 7:14-25 TOJB2011

For we have da'as that the Torah is Ruchanit (Spiritual, of the Ruach Hakodesh); but I am of the basar (fallen humanity) sold under the power of (slave master Chet Kadmon) Chet. For I do not have da'as what I do. For that which I commit is not what I want; no, it is 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 Gezetz is good. But now it is no longer I doing this, but [the power of] Chet (Sin) which dwells within me. For I have da'as that there dwells in me, that is, in my basar (my fallen humanity enslaved to Chet Kadmon) 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 (The Evil) 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 (Sin, Chet Kadmon, Original Sin) which dwells within me. I find then it be a Gezetz that 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 in the Torah of HASHEM, so far as the adam hapenimi is concerned, But I see another gezetz (law) in my natural capacities at milchamah (war) with the Torah of my mind and making me a prisoner to the Gezetz 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 (death)? Hodu l'HASHEM (thanks be to G-d) baMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu. So then I myself with my mind serve the Torah of HASHEM and with my basar I serve the Gezetz of Chet (the Law of Sin).
