NEW TESTAMENT

7 Know ye not (Do you not know), brethren (brothers), (for I speak to them that know the law [law of the flesh; law of Moses. Example: Adultery, Marriage],) how that the law hath (has) dominion over a man as long as he liveth (lives)?

² For the woman which hath an (has a) husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth (lives); but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

³ So then if, while her husband liveth (lives), she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

⁴ Wherefore, my brethren (brothers), ye (you) also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ (Mashiach; Messiah; Anointed One); that ye (you) should be married to another, even to him (Him) who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God (Yah / Yahuah / YHWH).

⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth (bear) fruit unto death.

⁶ But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

God’s Law Reveals Our Sin

⁷ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid (Yahuah does not allow it!). Nay (No), I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet (You shall not covet).

(NOTE: covet (transitive verb) = to want to have something very much, especially something that belongs to someone else)

⁸ But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought (produced) in me all manner of concupiscence (strong sexual desire; lust). For without the law sin was dead.

⁹ For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

¹⁰ And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.

¹¹ For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew (killed) me.

¹² Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

¹³ Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid (Yahuah does not allow it!). But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

Struggling with Sin

¹⁴ For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

¹⁵ For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

¹⁶ If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

¹⁷ Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth (lives) in me.

¹⁸ For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth (lives) no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

¹⁹ For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

²⁰ Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth (lives) in me.

²¹ I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

²² For I delight in the law of God (Yahuah) after the inward man:

²³ But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

²⁴ O wretched (grief-stricken) man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

²⁵ I thank God (Yahuah) through Jesus Christ (Yeshua / Yahusha HaMashiach) our Lord (Master). So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God (Yahuah); but with the flesh the law of sin.

⁹ Which holdeth (Who holds) our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved (and does not allow our feet to slip or stumble).

¹⁰ For thou (You), O God (Yahuah), hast (have) proved us: thou hast tried (You have tested) us, as silver is tried.

¹¹ Thou broughtest (You brought) us into the net; thou laidst (You laid) affliction upon our loins.

¹² Thou hast (You have) caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest (but You brought) us out into a wealthy place.

¹³ I will go into thy (Your) house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee (You) my vows,

¹⁴ Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath (has) spoken, when I was in trouble.

¹⁵ I will offer unto thee (You) burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks (bulls) with goats. Selah.

¹⁷ I cried unto him (Him) with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue (and He was highly praised with my tongue).

¹⁸ If I regard iniquity (hold sin) in my heart, the Lord (Adonai / Master / YHWH) will not hear me:

¹⁹ But verily God hath (Yahuah has) heard me; he hath (He has) attended to the voice of my prayer.

²⁰ Blessed be God (Yahuah), which hath (has) not turned away my prayer, nor his (His) mercy from me.

⁵ Let the people praise thee (You), O God (Yahuah); let all the people praise thee (You).

THE ORGINAL HEBREW NAME OF THE MESSIAH

The video below is done by a Jewish Hebrew language lady teacher. Her name is Ayelet. She is born and raised in Israel. Hebrew is her native language. In this video, we will be able to learn the correct pronunciation of the Messiah’s original name in Hebrew:-

VIDEO: Jesus – Yeshua in Hebrew – Hebrew Word of the Day (59 secs) – by The WORD in HEBREW

In Hebrew: מָשִׁיחַ (H4899) = Mashiach (Hebrew) = Messiah (English) / Anointed One (the Savior who saves the sinners for those who believe in Him)

FULL NAME in Hebrew text with ‘The’: יְהוֹשׁוּעַ הַמָשִׁיחַ = Yahushua Ha-Mashiach = Yahushua The Anointed One.

Christos > Χριστός (Greek) transliterated into Christ (English) which means Anointed One 

NOTES:-

1. Yeshua יֵשׁוּעַ (H3442 = He will save) is a shortened form of Yehoshooah / Yahushua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = God / Yah saves). EXAMPLE #1: Mike is a shortened form of Michael. EXAMPLE #2: Josh is a shortened form of Joshua.

2. Yehoshooah as spelt in this manner depicts Joshua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = yeh-ho-SHOO-ah) adds Hosea, יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H1954 = deliver / salvation). Therefore, Yehoshooah / Yahushua means God is Salvation God  / Yah saves.

3. Yahushua as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father, Yah יה / יָהּ (H3050) as in John 5:43).

4. Yahusha as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father, Yahuah יְהוָֹה (H3068), adds Yasha יָשַׁע (H3467 ) which means ‘Saves’. See the diagram below:-

Having difficulties to discipline yourself to read the Holy Bible daily? Then you are in trouble! Stop deceiving yourselves!

WARNING from God (Yahuah) Himself: The Word of God (Yahuah) warned that if we do not have His word abiding (remaining) in us, then we are NOT believers (saved)! WAKE UP PEOPLE! Read John 5:38:-

John 5:38 King James Version (KJV)
And ye (you) have not his (His) word abiding in you: for whom he hath (He / Yahuah has) sent, him ye (Him you) believe not.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 King James Version (KJV)
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye (you) do.”

Hebrews 3:13 King James Version (KJV)
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Matthew 10:8 King James Version (KJV)
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye (you) have received, freely give.

Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
That if thou shalt (you shall) confess with thy (your) mouth the Lord Jesus (Yeshua), and shalt (shall) believe in thine (your) heart that God hath (Yahuah has) raised him (Him) from the dead, thou shalt (you shall) be saved.

John 3:3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Jesus (Yeshua) answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God.”
