The English language paraphrase is necessary.
[The idioms addressed in this translation are:
- “The circumcision” (believers who continued to sacrifice at the Temple as before, and who believed that believing proselytes from among the nations needed to continue to convert to the Levitical order for the remission of sin as before, in addition to their faith in the Messiah Yeshua)
- “The uncircumcision” (believers raised under the Levitical order who no longer sacrificed at the Temple, or if they did still sacrifice, did not believe that believing proselytes from among the nations needed sacrifice any longer in light of the Messiah Yeshua’s sacrificial work on the cross)
- “Works of the law” (sacrifices offered up for the remission of sins past)
- “Justified by the law” (concept that no pardon and acquittal can come through the blood of animals which only atone for sin, and that can never do away with sin, like the pardon and acquittal received through Messiah’s own blood has accomplished)
- “The law” (Meaning is determined by context)
YHVH as read and written from right to left are the Hebrew letters:
Yod (y) Hey (h) Vav (v) Hey (h)
The equivalent spelling in English letters read and written left to right is YHVH, proposed pronunciations being “Yahuvah” or “Yehovah” among others.
His name with the “s” after it ( YHVH's ) is the possessive form spelled in English letters as in “We are YHVH’s people”.
Romans 7
The Torah is Good 7:13 Has then that which is good become death to me? Absolutely not! But Torah violation, so that it might be revealed as sin, was producing death in me through that which is good, so that violation of Torah, through the commandment, might be cast down and clearly exposed as the great wickedness that it really is. 7:14 For we know that the Torah is spiritual, but that it was I who was fleshly, having been sold as a slave to serve sin in a life that was out of alignment with Yahuweh's instruction in Torah. 7:15 For what I did, I did not understand. And what I desired to do, that I did not practice; but that which I hated, that I did. 7:16 If then, I did that which I desired not to do, I agree then with the Torah that the Torah is good. 7:17 But now, it is no longer I who did it, but the law of sin that dwelled in me. 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for though the desire to do what is right was present with me, how to perform that which is right I did not know. 7:19 For the righteous things I desired to do, I did not do; but the evil that I desired not to do, that I did. 7:20 Now if I did that which I desired not to do, it was no longer I who did it, but the law of sin that dwelled in me. 7:21 I found then a law, that evil was ever present with me, the one who desired to do what is right. 7:22 For I delighted in the Torah of YaVaH according to the inward man. 7:23 But I saw another law in my body, the law of sin, warring against the Law of my mind, the instruction of Torah, which brought me into captivity to the law of sin which was in my body. 7:24 O wretched man that I was! Who would deliver me from this body of death? 7:25 I thank Yahuweh that it would be through the Messiah Yeshua our Master! The Promised
