Romans 7:1 King James Bible Know ye not, brethren, for I speak to them that know the law, how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
English “the law” was correctly translated from Greek masculine noun 3551 nomos but there is flesh law and there is spiritual law and the latter displaced the former for those God said “I have reserved to myself”. Greek masculine noun 3551 nomos was translated into “the law” in “For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ”. Jesus spoke the words “But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause” into “law” in “And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses” “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace” “For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin” “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” “That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be”. Please note that English words flesh and carnal were both translated from Greek feminine noun 4561 sarx being flesh. Please note that the flesh mind is God’s enemy. “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified”. Please note that English “justified” above, below and throughout the bible were translated from Greek verb 1344 dikaioo meaning to make right. Please note that we are not made right by our faith in God. We are made right “by the faith of Jesus Christ” in us pursuant to God’s will. Please note only God can perform the action of Greek verb 1344 dikaioo and only the direct grammatical objects of God as their only grammatical subject can receive the action performed. “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” “And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect” “For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise” “Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator” “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith”. Please note that English “covenant” above and throughout the bible were translated from Greek feminine noun 1242 diatheke 13 times translated into English “Testament” and 20 times into “covenant”. There is a flesh Old Testament/covenant/contract/law and more importantly there is a spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law and the latter displaced the former. God in fact killed the flesh Old Testament/covenant/contract/law and visa versa the finite number of “election” God said “I have reserved to myself” God made dead to the flesh Old Testament/covenant/contract/law in deference to God’s own spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law. “For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise” “Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator” “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus”. Please note that during this earth age there are a finite number of Abraham’s “seed”, a finite number of God’s “saints” and a finite number of God’s “election” God said “I have reserved to myself” because all are one in the same. God’s “saints” are God’s “election” who are Abraham’s “seed”. Grammatical objects of many of the world’s 4,351 religions erroneously believe they are born “again” [past tense] because they do not know English “again” in John 3:3 and 3:7 was mistranslated from Greek adverb 509 anothen meaning from above. The finite number of Abraham’s “seed” God’s “saints” and “election” will not know if they have completed transition from flesh thoughts and feelings to be entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways until they take their last flesh breath. God’s “election” know they must be born from above and know they must complete transition from flesh thoughts and feelings to be entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways which can not be known until they take their last flesh breath. Why is this important? Millions of erroneously professed born again Christians have no impetus to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”. It is ironic that seven thousand of God’s “election” will “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” until they take their last flesh breath whereby, during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day”, will cause more than fifteen billion human beings “to come unto the knowledge of the truth” “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him” “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour” “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”. Please note the preceding bible verse fulfills God’s promise to Abraham and fulfills God’s covenant with Israel. “And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time” “And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son” “That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies” “And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice” “And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob” “For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins” “As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes” with “fathers’ ” being “father Abraham” and the patriarchs of “the twelve tribes of Israel”.
English words as long as he liveth in Romans 7:1 above were translated from Greek preposition 1909 epi denoting superimposition Greek pronoun 3745 hosos meaning until such Greek masculine noun 5550 chronos being time and Greek verb 2198 zao meaning to live either in spirit or in flesh, as documented in Matthew 4:4 “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God” and Matthew 22:32 “I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living”. There is flesh life and death. There is spiritual life and death. The finite number of “election” God said “I have reserved to myself” are spiritually alive because they and God in “covenant” killed their flesh thoughts and feelings in deference to God’s spiritual thoughts and ways. There is flesh law. There is spiritual law. English bible phrase “as long as he liveth” in Romans 7:1 above was mistranslated from the four Greek words noted above meaning until such time God superimposes spiritual life, which is predicated upon God’s “election” superimposing the same truth God superimposed unto them unto “the rest” of God’s children, being every other human being ever born.
