Romans 7:15 - For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
For that which I do, I don't understand. The term "I allow not" in the Greek means I don't understand. "What I'm doing, I don't even understand." For what I would, or wish to do, that do I not; but what I hate, that's what I'm doing! This man needs help, doesn't he?
He says what I'm doing, I don't know because what I want to do, I wind up not doing, but what I really hate to do, that's what I do.
Romans 7:18 - For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
The word "good" in the text is the word AGATHOS that has to do with Spiritual good, not human good.
Our flesh has a lot of good to it humanly. We can do some "good stuff." We can also mess up a lot too! But it does do some good. But that's not what it's talking about. There is no Spiritual good at all in our flesh. None!
Romans 7:23 - 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.
Now we have the law of the mind. It's the word NOUS, and it has to do with perception. It's not the PSUCHE, the psyche or the brain. It's the perceptive abilities of the mind. With the inner man, I take pleasure in the law of God, but I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind.
The mind now, the NOUS, the perceptive processes, that is now the inner man.
It's cause: To bring me into captivity to the law of sin, which is in my members, not in my spirit. So, the sin that's in my flesh is warring against my mind that wants to serve God. It wants to take me captive. I cannot be enslaved to it, or taken captive by it, other than my decision to serve it. But I can also not serve it anytime I want to because I'm born of the Spirit of God.
Romans 6:22 - But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
But now, being made free from "the" sin, definite article, being free from the sin, and you have become servants to God, you have your fruit unto holiness, again sanctification, and the end everlasting life.
Your life now produces a different kind of fruit. It's not sin and death anymore. It's not destruction anymore. You've been made free from the sin principle, and you have become servants to God.
And your fruit is now unto sanctification and the end everlasting life.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
This summarizes the whole thing. The wages of "the" sin, (definite article). Sin pays wages! The Greek word for wages is what you pay a soldier with; except it's not money. It's rations. The wages of sin is death. How's that for a reward?
But the gift (CHARISMA) of God, and this is interesting because it gives us a good idea as to what the word charismatic means. It means the expression of God's grace. Charis is grace, Charisma is when grace is in action. The gift of God is God's grace blessing us with eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. But if you notice, it's not a wage, it is a gift.
Sin pays wages. God doesn't pay wages. He gives as a gift. We can never earn it, and we get full inheritance!
Romans 7:14 - For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Carnal is another word for flesh. The law is actually spiritual. But I am fleshly, sold under sin.
Romans 5:16 - And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
Here we have two different Greek words for our English word "gift." It says, "And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift:" That's DOREMA, a gift that is given.
For the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift, the CHARISMA, is of many offences unto justification. Free gift! Sin brings condemnation and judgment. The free gift brings righteousness over the offence and judgment.
Romans 6:2 - God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
He says God forbid, which in the Greek language, it is the strongest expression of impossibility. May it not happen!
Where we see the word sin in this verse, in the Greek text it has the definite article. It is "the sin." In the bible, from the Greek language, it is used to designate this principle of sin or source of sin, who is the devil. The sin in the bible is represented by the devil.
Romans 6:19 - I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh:
And then the explanation because we have been commissioned:
For as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants, or slaves, to righteousness unto holiness.
The word holiness is the Greek word from which we get the word sanctification from. Yield your members as slaves for sanctification, for production!
Romans 5:4 - And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
And patience works experience; Now this is an interesting word. It is literally the word proof. That's why English translations have a difficult time finding out how to express this word. When God puts me in a designed tribulation that He has for me, He is proving Himself to me, and He's proving me to everybody else! It's not how I look in church, or how I look in bible study. It's the faithfulness of God that takes me through all of my situations.
And patience, experience; and experience works out hope: You see, my hope is certain. Hope, ELPIS in the Greek, does not mean a hope like, "I wish it will happen." It's an expectancy. You expect it to happen. You know it's going to happen. When God proves Himself to us, through all of our situations, that builds our hope because of experience in Christ.
Romans 5:11 - And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
It's interesting that the Greek word for atonement KATALLAGEN is the word reconciliation! We have received reconciliation. I have a personal relationship with the creator of the universe. If you told that to somebody on the street, they would think that you belong in the "loony farm." But it's true, and it's a relationship!
Romans 5:15 - But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. This word gift is the word CHARISMA. You see, it is not a talent. It is not an ability. It means expression of grace. It comes from the word CHARIS.
Romans 5:1 - Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
"Therefore being justified by faith." Even though the word "being" is in there which shows a condition or a state, literally in the Greek text it shows Past Tense. "After having been placed in a position of justification." You've now been justified. It's put in the past. It's a one-time thing, never to be taken back!
Romans 5:2 - By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
The word rejoice is literally the word to boast or show boldness. We have boldness in hope of the glory of God. That is to say, "One day I am going to be in His presence." And that is the hope that my life is built on, not on the economic condition of the world, not on the condition of the worlds systems. Even though I get discouraged and I feel bad for people and the way things are in this world, my hope is not on this world getting straightened out. My hope is to one day be in the presence of God.
Romans 5:3 - And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
Tribulations are those afflictions, and the word is THLIPSIS which means stress, pressure of the mind. In Acts 14:22, when Paul was re-circling through the cities that he had testified to in his first missionary journey, he went through confirming the souls of the disciples and exhorted them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
God allows tribulation and stress in order to direct us to Christ and to trust Him! We rejoice in tribulations. People think we're crazy! It says next, about the character of the believer, "And not only so but we glory in tribulations also:
Knowing (and that's the key), knowing what they are for. Knowing that tribulation works patience; Patience is the word HUPOMENO for remain under. It's the word endurance.

"So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee."
"Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;"
"Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;"
"For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are openunto their prayers: but the face of the Lord isagainst them that do evil."

I am sorry to hear of your dad's passing. May you and your family be comforted, knowing that God's ways are perfect. He knew your dad perfectly so loved ones can have peace when someone they love passes on.
God will each person in perfect peace whose eyes are steadfast upon the Lord and who trust Him in all things.
(see Isaiah 26:3)
My dad died peacefully yesterday , I was at his side . God is so very merciful . He'd been brought up a catholic but had lapsed . I think he still had some faith in his heart but he wasn't perfect by far , but then none of us are are we ?
May God continue to bless and be merciful to all of His creation and may He save us all and bless us with His Kingdom on His Earth very soon . When it is your will Dear Heavenly Father . Through Jesus Christ our Saviour , Amen .
Very enlightening lesson through these first three chapters in Romans!
God bless you for what you are doing.
I believe it was a shout for joy. The victory was already determined.
What they shouted had no significance in the battle.
They didn't begin to compass the city until Joshua 6:10.
The Lord gave them victory in Joshua 6:2 "And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.
The people of Israel had just crossed over the Jordan River into the land of Canaan.
This was the land of milk and honey God had promised to Abraham over 500 years earlier.
Their first obstacle was the city of Jericho.
By faith they were able to perform what their fathers didn't do in canaan 40 years ago.
By faith they performed the task at hand by walking around the city and blowing the trumpets.
Hebrews 11:30.
There is a great misunderstand I the church among many concerning who's in the. Bride . For while all true born children of God are alre all called to that " high calling" not all will respond or be ( ye also") ready ".
To be BORN again is be qualified. to " run the race"it dress not win us " the prize".
The 5 foolish Virgo's we not ready and did not enter into the " marriage" being found unrecognisable as the Bride. Wit the words " I know ye not" the wicked and the unsaved are barred from the Kingdom wit the words " I never knew you" being recognisable as children of God .
To be BORN again is to get out of Egypt . By the Word of God,the power of God and the blood of a Lamb .
It only took the, just over two years to get to the promised land . Butt. We have made the wandering in the wilderness for 40 years as the Christian norm.
The wilderness was supposed to be as it were a boot camp . Where they learnt to walk by faith and not by sight and to not live ad alone butby every word that proceedeth from though of God"
For is it not written the Bride will come out of the wilderness terrible as an army with banners leaning on the arm of her beloved"?
Romans 3:24 - Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Justification comes to us through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. The word redemption means to purchase a slave out of the marketplace for the purpose of setting him free. So, Jesus purchased us from out of the marketplace of the world, where we have been the slave to sin, and He has set us free!
Romans 3:26 - To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Two things about the Lord. He is the just one, the righteous one. And He is the justifier. He makes people just or righteous. I have no righteousness or justness about me in order to acquire justification or righteousness. He is the just one, He is the righteous one, and He declares or credits people's account with justification and righteousness. In the Greek, the same Greek word is translated both righteousness and justification. It is a legal term that has to do with lining up with all the requirements of the law.
Romans 3:31 - Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: That's not what it says in the Greek, but the King James translators want to get the point across. God forbid! I don't know if I would have used God's name in there to try and get the point across. But it literally says "May it not happen," a strong optative in Greek to express impossibility.
Romans 4:17 - (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
Interesting because it tells us that Abraham believed two things about God. First of all, that God is the one who quickens the dead. The word quicken means to make alive. God is the one who takes dead things, dead people, and makes them alive.
Romans 2:22 - Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
You who says a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You that abhorrest idols, and the Jews abhorred idols.
The text is Deuteronomy 7:25-26 which told them that they were not to have idols, and they were not to enter into the temple of pagans who worship idols. The word abhor means to be nauseated. You are sick at the thought of idols.
Do you commit sacrilege? The word sacrilege means to rob the idols. What they would do was they'd go into the temples, and they would say "You guys are pagans, and you have idol worshipping going on."
So, they would tear the temple down and destroy it. And they would take the idols home and melt them down and make it part of their possessions. Do idols make you sick? And yet you rob them? You take them home with you?
Romans 3:2 - Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
He says much in every way: chiefly, because unto them were committed the oracles of God. The word oracles is a diminutive word of the word "word," the different principles of laws of God. They're privileged and they were given the law of God. That's a very privileged person.
Romans 3:4 - God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
God forbid: Literally in the Greek it says, "May it not happen."
Romans 3:14 - Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
The word cursing doesn't mean to swear. It means to wish destruction on people.
Romans 2:6 - Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
The word render is the Greek word for paycheck. Everybody is going to get paid for what they did. We understand the word deeds as activity. This is not individual things that we have done, but everyone will have to answer for the activity that has gone on in their life over their entire life.
Has it been the activity of Christ, or has it been the activity of the world? Everyone will have to answer how they spent their life.
Romans 2:7 - To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
To them who by patient continuance in well doing do seek for glory and honour and immortality, to them will be given eternal life:
Notice patient continuance. Jesus said in Matthew Chapter 24 Verse 13 "He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." That's not a requirement. That is a characteristic. Everybody who's saved will make it to the end because they have the Holy Spirit. It is a characteristic of a person who is saved.
It says to the patient continuance in well doing. The word well is the word for good that is Spiritual good. It is the word AGATHOS. They continually spent their time in the good of the Lord, the things of Christ. To them they will be given eternal life.
Romans 2:20 - An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
The word form means outline. You don't have the substance. You just have the form.
Romans 1:31 - Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Without understanding. The Greek word means spiritual understanding. They have no spiritual understanding anymore.
Romans 1:32 - Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Not only do they do the same things while they know judgment is coming, as far as death, but they have pleasure in them that do them. The word pleasure in the Greek means to applaud. They cheer on the other people who are doing the same thing!
Romans 2:2 - But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
There are four principles given in Chapter 2 Verses 2 through 16 that start with the word KATA in the Greek. KATA is a preposition, and it means according to. God judges according to the truth. We see in Romans 2:11 that God is no respecter of persons. He doesn't look at somebody and say "Oh, you're Jewishno problem! Oh, you're a Gentileget out of here!" God judges according to the facts with every single person no matter who they are.
Romans 2:5 - But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
But after the hardness and your impenitent heart, and the word hardness is where we get our word callousness from. You know how when you go out and work in the yard, and you haven't done it in a long time, you get blisters. But after you been out there a while, you build up callouses because it continues to rub one time after another and after another until it builds up a resistance to it.
Some people are like that spiritually. God's Spirit continues to minister to them, and they keep rejecting it and they keep suppressing the truth to where their heart becomes calloused against the Lord.
(Romans Part 6):
Romans 1:24 - Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
It says that God gave them up. Literally, God gave them over. Again, that is a judicial term that means to hand down a sentence to somebody. It is their punishment and their sentence. God gave them over, and watch this: To uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: God gave them over. It's judgment! "You want to worship man? I'll give you some people to worship!"
Romans 1:28 - And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, and you see, He's already there, but they don't want Him to be there! God gave them over. There it is a third time. That's to impress us with the fact that God's wrath is being revealed from heaven right now.
God gave them over to a reprobate mind. I love some of these words in the King James. The word reprobate means to reject. God gave them a mind to reject the truth. Why? Because they rejected the truth on their own. He gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; which in our language means not right!
Romans 1:29 - Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
This word "whisperers" is basically a person who gossips, but secretly behind person's backs.
Romans 1:30 - Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Inventors of evil things in the Greek basically means "Find a new way to do the old sin."
