Romans 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

English “after” above is fully translated in prior posts.

English “mortify” was translated from Greek verb 2289 thanatoo which was translated into “killed” in Romans 8:36 and in  “As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed” and into “become dead” in “Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

Romans 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

English “debtors” was translated from Greek noun 3781 opheiletes being all God’s children, everyone ever born, relative to the price God paid in the embodiment of Jesus Christ on a Roman cross. Greek noun 5092 time means value relative to the price paid on the cross. Greek noun 5092 time was translated into “price” in Matthew 27:3-9 1Corinthians 6:20 and 1Corinthians 7:23 into “honour” in Romans 2:6-13 Romans 9:21 Timothy 2:15-21 1Peter 1:7 and Revelation 21:22-27. If you “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” in every verse containing Greek words 3781-3786 and 5622-5624 God can translate all those words for you and tell you everything you need to know about expunging your debt and bringing God’s will to fruition.

The Greek preposition 2596 kata that was translated into English “after” in Romans 8:12 above and 8:13 in post to follow were fully translated in prior posts. If you encounter an English emboldened word that is not defined refer to prior posts.

Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

English “quicken” was translated from Greek verb 2227 zoopoieo meaning to make spiritually alive. Greek verb 2227 zoopoieo was translated into “be made alive” in “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive” into “giveth life” in “Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life” into “have given life” in “Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law” into “quickeneth” in   “I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession” “For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will” and “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life”.

English “mortal” in Romans 8:11 above was translated from Greek adjective 2349 thnetos describing flesh mortal bodies without God’s Spirit.  Greek adjective 2349 thnetos was also translated into English “mortal” in 1 Corinthians 15:53 and 54 “For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality” “So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory” and into “mortality” in “For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life”. English “clothed upon” refers to God’s Spirit which reflects God’s light/doxa/ “glory” in our “celestial bodies”. Please note that “the glory of” in 1Corinthians 15:40 bible phrase “the glory of the terrestrial” was added by a flesh human being some 410 years ago. Greek adjective 1919 epigeios was correctly translated into “terrestrial” above and “earthly” in “This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish” and in “For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens”. English words “this tabernacle” above are our flesh biodegradable corruptible mortal “earthly” bodies. Judgment of the flesh translator who 410 years ago changed God’s adjective 1919 epigeios into “the glory of the terrestrial” will be left to God. God’s “election” of whom God said “I have reserved to myself” become immortal by retaining God’s spirit through this earth age thereby achieving “the first resurrection” of Revelation 20:5 & 6 while everyone other than God’s “election” are the spiritually “dead” of Revelation 20:5 and are susceptible to the spiritual “second death” of Revelation 20:6. “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed” “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed” “For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality”. Every human being ever born whose flesh body has died has “put on incorruption”. All human beings remaining alive at the seventh trump “shall be raised incorruptible” at that last trump. The verbs “put on incorruption” and “put on immortality” are different verbs performed at different times as documented in Revelation 20:4-6. God’s “election” “which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years”. English “mark” in previous bible quote was translated from Greek noun 5480 charagma which tells us what the “mark” is and subsequently who the “beast” is because English “graven” in Acts 17:29 was translated from Greek 5480 charagma which was translated into English “mark” in Revelation 13:16, 13:17, 14:9, 14:11, 15:2, 16:2, 19:20 and 20:4. If you understand none of God’s other biblical spiritual truth understand Greek 5480 charagma and understand that the “beast” in Revelation 13:16, 13:17, 14:9, 14:11, 15:2, 16:2, 19:20 and 20:4 is any grammatical subject other than God, which is every flesh human grammatical subject other than Jesus Christ. English “device” in Acts 17:29 was translated from Greek noun 1761 enthymesis being flesh thoughts while English “art” in Acts 17:29 was translated from Greek noun 5078 techne being the product of flesh thoughts and feelings which this eighth chapter of Romans tells us is all bad all the time. God’s “election” will cause the rest of creation, every other human being ever born, “to come unto the knowledge of the truth” because “they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” between the end of this earth age and the eternal earth age that follows. God’s light/doxa/glory will be visible in the “incorruptible” “immortal” “spiritual” “heavenly” bodies of God’s “election” on the first day of the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” “day of the Lord Jesus”  “the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded” “the rest” will be in “incorruptible” “mortal”  “spiritually” “dead” bodies without light/doxa/glory who on the first day of the “thousand years” will judge themselves as they judged others “Judge not, that ye be not judged” “For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again”. The credibility of God’s “election” will be greatly enhanced during the “thousand years” by the visibility of their light/doxa/glory. The crux of the bible and God’s will is this: “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”. These are two of the most accurately translated English verses in the bible. Please study every verse containing every Greek word in 2Timothy 2:15-21 and 1Timothy 2:1-6 whereby God can define each Greek word for you. If someone completes the process noted in the previous sentence and wants to ask a related question in my post “comments” I will do my best to provide an answer in an ensuing post.     

English “life” in 2Corinthians 5:4 above was translated from Greek noun 2222 zoe being spiritual life in above context.  Greek noun 2222 zoe was translated into “life” in “ For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting” “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life”. English “on” in previous bible verse John 6:47 was translated from Greek preposition 1519 eis indicating the point entered of place, time, or purpose of thought. Greek preposition 1519 eis appears in the bible 1,774 times most often between various tenses of English “believe” and English proper nouns “Jesus” and “God”. Greek preposition 1519 eis is not a casual belief in Jesus and God.  Greek preposition 1519 eis is entering into the same place, time, and purpose of thought of Jesus and God. Flesh translators some 410 years ago mistranslating Greek preposition 1519 eis into casual English “in” and “on” are among the most egregious mistranslations in the bible and exemplifies why the bible instructs us to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”.

Romans 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

English “the body is dead” above is figurative subsequent to flesh thoughts and feelings being dead in deference to God’s spiritual thoughts and ways while we are yet in a flesh live bios/body. Please search [dead with Christ] to confirm what I say.

English “righteousness” was translated from Greek noun 1343 dikaiosune being right in union with God’s definition of right

Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

When Jesus walked the earth, no one called him Jesus. His disciples and everyone who knew him called him by his Hebrew proper noun H3091 Yehowshuwa`. All Hebrew names have meaning. Hebrew proper noun H3091 Yehowshuwa` means Yehovah’s Savior. English “Christ” throughout the bible was translated from Greek adjective 5547 christos describing and qualifying God’s first anointed. Greek adjective 5547 christos is from Greek verb 5548 chrio meaning to anoint. Greek noun 5545 chrisma is the unction or anointing itself. Flesh Old Testament/covenant/contract/law anointing was with flesh physical olive oil. Spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law anointing is with the Spirit of God. Christ is the first anointed with God’s Spirit. The finite number God’s “election” of whom God said “I have reserved to myself” during this earth age are also anointed with God’s Spirit “the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded”. The rest are every human being other than God’s “election” and “the rest were blinded” spiritually not as punishment but to protect “the rest” from Matthew 12:32 “And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come”. Jesus Yehowshuwa` meaning Yehovah’s Savior is the first but not the only flesh human being God has anointed with God’s Spirit.

Jesus Yehowshuwa` meaning Yehovah’s Savior said literally in John 8:56 “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad” “Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham”? “Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am”. I suggest to you that “the Jews” above saw God in the embodiment of Jesus Yehowshuwa` meaning Yehovah’s Savior and that Abraham saw God in the embodiment of “Melchizedek” being Hebrew proper noun H4442 Malkiy-Tsedeq meaning King of the Righteous both being one and the same. I have studied every verse fore and aft containing Hebrew proper noun H4442 Malkiy-Tsedeq and Greek proper noun 3198 melchisedek and have concluded, based on Jesus’ testimony in John 8:56-58, that Jesus is Greek proper noun 3198 melchisedek and Hebrew proper noun H4442 Malkiy-Tsedeq. Please “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” by studying Matthew 17:1-13, Mark 9:1-13 and Luke 9:18-36 understanding that God is able to traverse time and space and was able to take Peter, John and James with him to “the kingdom of God” “mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels” and back again.

Romans 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

English “please” was translated from Greek verb 700 aresko from Greek verb 142 airo meaning to lift up. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning” “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts”. God does indeed lift up God’s direct grammatical objects to God’s higher level by displacing their flesh thoughts and feelings with God’s spiritual thoughts and ways so they no longer “are in the flesh” so they can indeed please God. Greek verb 700 aresko was translated into English “pleasing” in “But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts” into “may please” in “No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier”. English “life” in previous bible sentence was translated from Greek noun 979 bios which is the etymology of English prefix bio- as found in biology. In above context it is biodegradable biological physical flesh life.  English “warreth” was translated from Greek verb 4754 strateuo which was translated into English “war” in 2Corinthians 10:3-6 which qualifies the warfare. “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh” “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds” “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” “And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled”. English “revenge” was translated from Greek verb 1556 ekdikeo meaning to make right according to God’s not man’s definition of right.

Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

English “enmity” was translated from Greek noun 2189 echthra being hatred from Greek verb 2190 echthros meaning to hate. “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love”.

English “against” in Romans 8:7 above was translated from Greek preposition 1519 eis denoting the point entered, of place, time, or purpose of mind. Greek preposition 1519 eis appears most often between various tenses of English “believe” and either “God” or “Jesus” which is a far cry from a casual belief in “God” and “Jesus”. Greek preposition 1519 eis in the context of Romans 8:7 is far more egregious than not believing into God’s spiritual thoughts, it means to transfer one’s own flesh thoughts of hate into God. There is no greater hatred than believing God is going to burn like bacon for all eternity God’s own children who do not believe what they themselves believe. English false narrative “hell” has been translated from Hebrew noun 7585 she’owl meaning grave, from Greek noun 1067 geenna being the valley of the son of Hinnom containing Jerusalem’s garbage pit where Jesus instructed us to cast any flesh member [Mt 5:29 James 3:6] that offends God’s Spirit and from Greek noun 86 hades from a compound of Greek 1 a negative particle synonymous with English un or not and Greek verb 1492 eido meaning to see through the eyes and know through the thoughts of one’s grammatical subject. Greek 86 hades means unable to see through God’s eyes and know through God’s thoughts when a grammatical object has any grammatical subject other than God. Jesus’ reference to Greek noun 1067 geenna being the valley of the son of Hinnom was intended to draw us to God’s words in Old Testament Jeremiah 32:35 “And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin”. 

English “subject to” in Romans 8:7 above was translated from Greek verb 5293 hupotasso. Please remember that a grammatical subject performs a verb’s action and their grammatical objects receive the action performed. Greek verb 5293 hupotasso was translated into English “put under” “put in subjection under” “be subject unto” “submit self to” and “subject to”.  Greek verb 5293 hupotasso is from a compound of Greek preposition 5259 hupo meaning under as grammatical objects are under their grammatical subject and Greek verb 5021 tasso which was translated into English “appointed” in “And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do”  and into “ordained” in “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God”. English “be subject unto” in previous bible sentence was translated from Greek verb 5293 hupotasso. God is the grammatical subject performing the actions of Greek verb 5293 hupotasso and Greek verb 5021 tasso in this paragraph. God’s “election” are “chosen” by God to be the exclusive recipients of the action of Greek verb 5293 hupotasso and Greek verb 5021 tasso subsequent to the spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law of God predicated upon both parties performing their obligations under the mutual covenant/contract. The Spirit of Jesus Christ mediates the contract: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ” “Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time”  “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”. I am receiving instruction to explain the English name Jesus Christ but I do not want to diminish God’s definition of God’s will defined in above bible verses so I will follow instruction as soon as we get to a verse less integral to God’s will.   

Romans 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

Later in the eighth chapter of Romans God will tell us who, what, when, where, and why every human being ever born “shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God”. I guess I already told you why. It is God’s will.

English “flesh” in Romans 8:5 “carnally” in Romans 8:6 and “carnal” in Romans 8:7 were all translated from Greek noun 4561 sarx meaning flesh.

Romans 8:6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

English “minded” in Romans 8:6 “mind” in Romans 8:7 and Romans 8:27 were all translated from Greek neuter noun 5427 phronema which explains an integral part of God’s process pursuant to God’s will. I am going to paste Romans 8:27 so we can define them all together “And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God”. Simply stated God removes all human beings who are flesh minded from God’s process pursuant to God’s will. Grammatical objects of flesh grammatical subjects, including those who stand behind a pulpit, are removed from God’s process pursuant to God’s will. They are not removed from God forever, just during this earth age. Remember Jesus said: “Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division”. God defines the “division” right here. God not only removes flesh grammatical objects of flesh grammatical subjects from God’s process; God simultaneously removes His spirit from them to protect them from Matthew 12:32 “And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come”.

English “peace” in Romans 8:6 and in Luke 12:51 above were both translated from Greek noun 1515 eirene  denoting union in the sense of being joined together in thought and mind, best defined by “peace” in “Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace” “Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” “Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you” “Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.” “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword” “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart”. God’s “election” receive God’s Spirit which renders God’s “peace” “the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded” to protect “the rest” from Matthew 12:32.

Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

English “That” in Romans 8:4 above was translated from Greek conjunction 2443 hina meaning in order that a specific objective be achieved while “that” in Romans 8:3 was translated from demonstrative Greek pronoun 3739 hos most often translated into “which” and “whom” demonstrating either why an objective will or will not be achieved. The first “that” in John 3:16 was translated from Greek particle 5620 hoste denoting consecutive actions and results while the second “that” in John 3:16 was translated from Greek conjunction 2443 hina meaning in order that a specific objective be achieved.    English “that” in John 3:19 was translated from Greek conjunction 3754 hoti denoting cause of action. It is important to understand the difference between these very different Greek words that were all translated into English “that”. Let us examine John 3:16 KJV: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”. Everyone who sits in a church pew believes they know John 3:16. English “For” being the first English word in John 3:16 was translated from Greek conjunction 1063 gar  meaning God is about to provide us the reason for what is to follow if some bone headed flesh human being, 410 years ago did not inexplicably change God’s original Greek words. “God so loved the world” is close enough for horse shoes and hand grenades except English “world” in the New Testament has been translated from Greek noun 165 aion being an earth age, Greek noun 1093 ge being earth, Greek noun 2889 kosmos being the earth and it’s inhabitants, Greek verb 3195 mello being God’s plan for the future. Greek verb 3195 mello was translated into “the world to come”. English “world” in the New Testament was also translated from Greek noun 3625 oikoumene which encompasses the inhabitants of earthly kingdoms as found in Luke 2:1, Luke 4:5, Acts 11:28, Acts 17:6, Acts 19:27, Acts 24:5, Revelation 12:9 and Revelation 16:14.  Greek noun 3625 oikoumene also encompasses the inhabitants of God’s heavenly kingdom, Sion/Zion pursuant to God’s will and future process “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”. Greek noun 3625 oikoumene is God’s kingdom of heaven/Sion/Zion in Matthew 24:14, Acts 17:31, Romans 10:18, Hebrews 1:6, Hebrews 2:5 and Revelation 3:10 as well as every New Testament verse associated with Greek noun 4622 sion and every Old Testament verse associated with Hebrew noun 6726 Tsiyown. English “world” in John 3:16 was translated from Greek noun 2889 kosmos being the earth and it’s inhabitants; so we are back to John 3:16 “God so loved the world” where Greek particle 5620 hoste denoting consecutive actions and results joining “God so loved the world” to “that he gave his only begotten Son” in order “that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”. Some 410 years ago a flesh human being, who was obviously never a grammatical object of God, mistranslated God’s Greek adjective 3956 pas which was correctly translated 918 into English “all” into English pronoun “whosoever” in John 3:16.  That translator was either incredibly stupid or intentionally mistranslated Greek adjective 3956 pas into English pronoun “whosoever”. John 3:16 correctly translated says: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, in order that all believeth in him not perish, but have everlasting life which is consistent with God’s will adequately defined in English in Joel 2:28-31  John 1:9   Romans 14:11   Acts 2:17   Acts 24:15  Luke 3:6  2Peter 3:9  Ephesians 1:10  Romans 8:21 Romans 11:26-32   1Corinthians 15:22-23 and 1Timothy 2:3-6 as well as John 3:16 when properly translated.

English “might be fulfilled” in Romans 8:4 above was translated from Greek verb 4137 pleroo meaning to make replete was translated into “fulfil” in “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil” into “fulfilled” in “And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears”. Jesus’ Luke 4:17- 21 message was delivered exclusively to God’s “election”. Isaiah 28:9-13 explains that unto everyone other than God’s “election” “the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken”. Jesus in Luke 12:51 said: “Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division” Hebrews 4:12 confirms that the bible is designed to divide human beings who will not do God’s will from human beings who think God’s thoughts and will do God’s will as did Isaiah 28:9-13 because emboldened “line” was translated from Hebrew noun 6957 qav which is a cord that connects God’s “precepts” for God’s “election” while the same Hebrew noun 6957 qav removes “the rest” who are not chosen by God from God’s process pursuant to God’s will “that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken”. I am not at liberty at this time to explain what precept God was connecting for God’s “election” but I can recommend that everyone study the Greek adjective that was translated into English “acceptable” in Luke 4:17- 21 and the Greek verb form of that Greek adjective. I can tell you God’s “election” have met God’s requirement “to fulfil” God’s flesh Old Testament/contract/law noted in “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil”.

English “after” in Romans 8:4 above and 8:5 to follow were translated from Greek preposition 2596 kata being down as a grammatical object is down from their grammatical subject. Four hundred and ten years ago King James employed flesh translators and demanded a word for word translation of Hebrew and Greek words into English. British archives contain a letter from translators to King James, delivered with the first King James Bibles noting that many Hebrew and Greek words had no singular English synonyms and warned of translation errors noting they did the best they could. Greek preposition 2596 kata was most often translated into English “according to” which is not accurate but is reasonable considering the parameters they were given. It is interesting that Roman Emperor Constantine received an irresistible impulse to translate apostolic letters into a New Testament in fifty bibles to distribute around his empire. King James received a similar irresistible impulse. James Strong received an irresistible impulse to trace English bible words back to their original Hebrew and Greek and publish a concordance to which James Strong dedicated fifty years of his life. God’s “election” receive an irresistible impulse to take a Strong’s Concordance correlated to the King James Bible and translate 8,674 English words back to their Hebrew origins and another 5,624 English words back to their Greek origins. Why would they do that? God knows.

It is interesting that thousands of years ago the “angel of God” delivered relatively short messages to a few prophets to deliver to however many human beings were within walking distance. This is the first age that technology was available to study every verse containing each Hebrew and Greek word whereby God can define each word for his grammatical objects. Jesus Christ was born 2,020 years ago but millions of human beings died before Jesus was born. The bible says: “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” The bible also says: “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”. This is God’s will. Any human being who enters into a covenant with God to bring God’s will to fruition can be among God’s “election” whom will cause the rest of God’s creation, every human being ever born, “to come unto the knowledge of the truth”.   

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

English “life” was translated from Greek noun 2222 zoe being spiritual life synonymous with “the first resurrection” and antonymous to “the second death” of  “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years”. Greek noun 2222 zoe was translated into English “life” in “Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” “And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life” “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” with English pronoun “whosoever”  being grossly mistranslated from Greek adjective 3956 pas which was correctly translated 918 times into English adjective “all” which describes and qualifies English noun “world” while “in” was translated from Greek preposition 1519 eis denoting the point entered, of place, time, or purpose of mind, which is a far cry from a casual belief in God. “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone” “Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works” “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble”.

English “hath made free” in Romans 8:2 above was translated from Greek verb 1659 eleutheroo which was translated into English “make free” in “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” into “made free” in “But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life” into “shall be delivered” in “Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God”. Greek verb 1659 eleutheroo is from Greek adjective 1658 eleutheros which was best translated into English “being free” in “For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant” into “free” in “But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all” and “free” in “As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God” I need to document that “Jerusalem which is above” in above bible quote is the same as “But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels” “To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect” which is the same as “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. English “made perfect” in Hebrews 12:23 above was translated from Greek verb 5048 teleioo meaning to complete transition from flesh thoughts and feeling to become entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways. God’s “election” know they are among those God said “I have reserved to myself” but it is not possible for a human being to know if they have completed transition from flesh thoughts and feelings to become entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways until they take their last flesh breath. It is ironic that millions of human beings who erroneously profess themselves “born again” and billions of “the rest” of “creation”  will “come unto the knowledge of the truth” through God’s “election” during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” “day of the Lord Jesus” “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God” “Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life” “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”.

Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

English “law” in Romans 8:3 above is not the spiritual “law of God” but is the flesh “law of Moses” the flesh Old Testament/covenant/contract/law is predicated upon judgment and punishment while the New Testament/covenant/contract/law is predicated upon bringing to fruition the “law of God” being “the will of God” adequately defined in English in Joel 2:28-31  John 1:9   Romans 14:11   Acts 2:17   Acts 24:15   Luke 3:6 2 Peter 3:9  Ephesians 1:10  Romans 8:21 Romans 11:26-32 and 1Timothy 2:3-6.

English “condemned” above was translated from Greek verb 2632 katakrino which is the verb form of Greek noun 2631 katakrima which is defined in previous post.
