Romans 7, Revised from "The Practice of the Way"

      Or are you ignorant, brothers (because I’m talking to those familiar with the Torah), that the Torah has ownership of the human being for as much of a time as he should be alive? Because the woman subject to the living man has been bound by the Torah; yet if the man should die, she would be shut down from the Torah of the man. Therefore then with the man alive she will be revealed an adulteress if she is with a different man; yet if the man should die, she is free from the Torah, with her not being an adulteress being with a different man. So that, my brothers, you also were put to death to the Torah through the body of the Anointed, for the purpose of you being with a different one, the one who is raised from the dead, so that we should produce fruit for the God. Because when we were responding by means of the soft tissues of the body, the feelings of the malfunctioning behaviors which were active through the Torah were within the parts of our body, resulting in the production of fruit for death; but at this point in time we were shut down from the Torah having died by means of what we were held down by, so as for us to be enslaved with the fresh quality of the Pneuma and not the old quality of the written letter.
     What then will we say? Is the Torah itself an error? Absolutely not; I wouldn’t have become familiar with the malfunction if not through the Torah; because too I wouldn’t have instinctively known attachment if the Torah wasn’t saying, “Don’t set your heart upon things.” Yet the malfunction having taken an opportunity through the command accomplished every attachment within me; because separate from the Torah the malfunction is dead. And I was alive apart from the Torah at one time, but the command having come the malfunction revived, yet I died and this command which was for the purpose of life was found inside of me resulting in death; because the malfunction getting an opportunity through the command deceived me and through it killed me, even as the Torah on the other hand is holy and the command holy and right and good.
     Has then what is good for me become death? Absolutely not; but the malfunction, so that the malfunction would become glowingly visible, is manufacturing death through what is good, so that the malfunction would become excessively malfunctioning through the command. Because we know that the Torah was born from the Pneuma, yet I myself am biological having been sold like a slave subject to the malfunction. Because I don’t know from experience what I’m accomplishing; because I am practicing, not this thing I wish, but I’m doing this thing I hate. Yet if I’m doing this thing which I don’t wish, I am agreeing with the Torah that it is beautiful, but I am currently no longer accomplishing it, but the malfunction residing within me is instead. Because I know that the good thing doesn’t reside within me, that is, within the soft tissues of my body; because the willingness is at hand within me, yet the accomplishing the good is not; because I’m not doing what good thing I wish, but I’m practicing this bad thing I don’t wish. Yet if I’m doing this thing I don’t wish, I myself am no longer accomplishing it but the malfunction residing within me. I am finding then the rule, for me who wishes to do the good, that the bad thing is at hand for me; because I am rejoicing with the Torah of the God in line with the inner human being, yet I am looking at a different Torah within the parts of my body soldiering against the Torah of my conscious mind and taking me prisoner by means of the Torah of the malfunction which exists within the parts of my body. I am a miserable human being; who will rescue me out of the body of this death? Yet thanks to the God through Yeshua the Anointed our Owner. Therefore then I myself am enslaved by the conscious mind to the divine Torah yet by the soft tissues of the body to the Torah of the malfunction.
