Moon]
I want to paraphrase Rom 6:141-15 as follows:
>
> 14(a) Sin will not be the master of you.
> 15(b) It is because you are not under the Law, i.e.
> not under the obligation to keep the Law
> as a Law-people,
> but you are under grace [which motivates you not
> to sin].
>
>
>
> 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the obligation
> to keep the Law as a Law-people,
> but under grace?
>
> The point of this paraphrase is that the point of Rom 6:14b is
> not so much "you are not under the Law" as "you are under Grace".
> In this paraphrase, the fact that "you are not uLaw"
nder the > has nothing to do with the declaration "sin will not be the
master
> of you", but the fact that "you are under grace" has.
Can we reject this paragraph based on on the grammar of Rom 6.14b?
This is my question...
Moon hello to you, and thank you.... My answer to the above mentioned
question....is, Yes....we can reject this paragraph based on the grammar.
You say... > In this paraphrase, the fact that "you are not under the law
has nothing to do with the declaration "sin will not be the master
> of you", but the fact that "you are under grace" has.
By making this statement...you are not dealing with UMWN not being
written as UMIN, and you are leaving behind the fact that what is found in
14b is inexorably connected to what has proceeded it by GAR. 14b does not
exist without 14a...which does not exist without verses 11-13. 14b is a
further explanation of what is outlined and stated in 14a, and believe
me...it centers around UMWN.
Having said that...I would have to acknowledge that, yes, I could
say..." the fact that "you are not under the law has nothing to do with the
declaration " sin will not be the master of you, but the fact that " you are
under grace" has. However....I would not do so....in reference to Rom 6:14
a&b, because that is not how Paul said it...and does not reference what Paul
said, in the fashion, content, and order that he said it in. You may not
have realized it...but doing so results in your saying things that are in
direct conflict with the context of what Paul says nearby. E.G. You say....
The usual reading of Rom 6:14 is that
sin's dominion over us has to do with our being under the Law.
This reading is obtained by reading "
sin will not be the master of you, because you are not under the Law".
(omitting the part "but under grace")
