OrthJBC - Romans - 6

6:1  What then shall we say? Are we to persist in Chet (sin) al menat (in order that) unmerited Chen v'Chesed Hashem might increase?

6:2  Chas v'shalom! Vi-bahlt (since) we have died to Chet, how can we still live in it?

6:3  Or are you unaware that all we who were given a tevilah in a mikveh mayim (pool for ritual bath and initiatory tevilah immersion) into Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua were immersed into His mavet (death)?

6:4  So then we were buried with Him through a tevilah unto Mavet, in order that as Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was raised from hamesim (the dead ones) through the kavod haAv, so we also should walk in hitkhadeshut Chayyim (newness of life).

6:5  For if we have become grown together with the very likeness of His mavet (death), we shall certainly also be grown together with the very likeness of His Techiyas HaMesim (Resurrection). MOSHIACH'S AITZ HAKELALAT HASHEM AND BEING DEAD WITH MOSHIACH TO THE YETZER HARAH AND BEING MESIM (DEAD ONES) TO AVERAH, TO THE POWER OF CHET KADMON, AND BEING CHAYYIM IN MOSHIACH AT THE TURNING OF THE AGES WITH NATURAL CAPACITES NOW NESHEK HAOHR (6:13; 13:12)

6:6  Knowing this, that our old humanity (in Adam) has been put to death on Moshiach's Aitz HaKelalat Hashem (Tree of the Curse of G-d--Devarim 21:23) with Him, in order that the etsem HaAdam HaChet (the essence of the humanity of sin, the human existence ruled by sin) might be done away with, so that we might no longer serve Chet (sin).

6:7  For he who has died is declared free from Chet (sin).

6:8  But if we have died with Moshiach, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

6:9  knowing that Moshiach, having been raised from the mesim (dead ones), no longer dies, Mavet (death) no longer exercises control over Him.

6:10  For the Mavet he died, he died to chet (sin) once and for all; but HaChayyim (the life) he lives, he lives to Hashem.

6:11  So also you must reckon yourselves mesim (dead ones) to Chet (Sin) but Chayyim l'Hashem baMoshiach Yehoshua (alive to G-d in Messiah Yehoshua).

6:12  Therefore, do not let Chet (Sin) rule in your mortal body to obey its ta'avot,

6:13  and do not give Chet (sin) control of your natural capacities as neshek (weapons) of pesha (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.

6:14  For Chet (sin) shall not exercise bailus (sovereignty, ownership, dominion) over you; for you are not under the epoch of Torah but under the epoch of Chesed (grace). AVADIM OF TZEDEK OLAMIM RESULTING IN KEDUSHAH THROUGH MOSHIACH

6:15  What then? Should we commit averah, because we are not under the epoch of Torah but under the epoch of Chesed? Chas v'shalom!

6:16  Do you not know that when you give control of yourselves as someone's 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 mishma'at (obedience) resulting in Tzedek Olamim?

6:17  But Baruch Hashem (Blessed be G-d), that you used to be avadim (slaves) of (slave-master) Chet, but you gave your mishma'at (obedience) from the lev to the pattern of Torah (the Torah of Moshiach--Yeshayah 42:4) to which you were handed over.

6:18  Having been set free from Chet (sin), you became a servant of the Tzidkat Hashem (the righteousness of G-d).

6:19  --I speak in human terms on acount 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 kedusha (holiness/consecration).

6:20  For when you were avadim (slaves) of Chet, you were free in relation to Tzedek Olamim.

6:21  What p'ri for Hashem did you produce then? Things for which you are now have bushah (shame), for the end result of those things is mavet (death).

6:22  But now, having been set free from Chet (sin) and made an eved Hashem (servant of G-d), you have your p'ri for Hashem, resulting in kedusha, and the end is Chayyei Olam (eternal life). THE KNAS (PENALTY) OF AVEIRAH IS MAVET

6:23  For the wages that (slavemaster) Chet (Sin) pays is mavet (death), but the gracious matnat hachesed Hashem (the gift of the grace of G-d) is Chayyei Olam baMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu.
