5. The Book of Romans
Our Goal
“The Epistle is really the chief part of the New Testament and the very purest Gospel, and is worthy not only that every Christian should know it word for word, by heart, but occupy himself with it every day, as the daily bread of the soul.”—Martin Luther, Commentary on Romans, 8.
Ang Ating Mithiin. “Ang Sulat ay talagang pangunahing bahagi ng Bagong Tipan, at ang pinakadalisay na Ebanghelyo, at nararapat na di lang kelangang malaman ng bawat Kristiyano ito nang buumbuo at isinasaulo, kundi maging abala rito araw-araw, bilang pang-araw-araw na tinapay ng kaluluwa.”—Martin Luther, Commentary on Romans, 8.

Sino ang Tao sa Roma 7?

7. Who is the Man of Romans 7?
Key Text
Romans 7:6
“Now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in the newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.”
Susing Talata. “Subalit ngayon tayo’y nakalagan sa kautusan, yamang tayo’y namatay doon sa umalipin sa atin, upang makapaglingkod sa bagong buhay sa Espiritu, at hindi sa lumang batas na nakasulat” (Roma 7:6).

8. Who is the Man of Romans 7?
Initial Words
Bible students differ on whether Romans 7 was Paul’s experience before or after conversion.
What’s important is that Jesus’ righteousness covers us and that in His righteousness we stand perfect before God, who promises to sanctify us, to give us victory over sin, and to conform us to “the image of his Son” (8:29).
Panimulang Salita. Nagkakaiba ang mga estudyante ng Biblia sa kung ang Roma 7 ay karanasan ni Pablo bago o pagkatapos ng kanyang pagbabalik-loob. ¶ Ang mahalaga ay, ang katuwiran ni Jesus ang nagtatakip sa atin at dahil sa Kanyang katuwiran nakatayo tayong sakdal sa harap ng Diyos, na nangangakong pababanalin tayo, para bibigyan tayo ng pagtatagumpay laban sa kasalanan, at itulad tayo sa “larawan ng Kanyang Anak.” (Roma 8:29).

10. we have been delivered from the law….”
Who is the Man of Romans 7?
1. Bound to the Law?
Romans 7:1-6 NKJV
“Do you not know…that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives? For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as she lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband. … But now
we have been delivered from the law….”
1. Nakatali sa Kautusan? “O hindi ba ninyo nalalaman...na ang kautusan ay umiiral lamang sa tao habang siya’y nabubuhay pa? Sapagkat ang asawang babae ay itinali ng kautusan sa asawang lalaki habang ito ay nabubuhay; ngunit kung mamatay ang asawang lalaki, siya ay nakalagan na sa kautusan ng asawang lalaki. ... Subalit ngayon ¶ tayo’y nakalagan sa kautusan...” (Roma 7:1-6).

11. Bound by the Law?
Relationship to the Law Illustrated
In essence, Paul’s illustration is as follows: a woman is married to a man. The law binds her to him as long as he lives. During his lifetime she cannot consort with other men.
But when he dies, she is free from the law that bound her to him (vs 3).
Inilarawan ang Kaugnayan sa Kautusan. Sa diwa, ganito ang paglalarawan ni Pablo: ang isang babae ay kasal sa isang lalaki. Ang kautusan ay itinatali siya sa kanya habang ito’y buhay. Sa panahong buhay ito ay hindi siya puwedeng makisama sa ibang lalaki. ¶ Ngunit kapag ito’y namatay, malaya na siya mula sa kautusang nagtatali sa kanya rito (Roma 7:3).

12. Bound by the Law?
Relationship to the Law Illustrated
As the death of her husband delivers the woman from the law of her husband, so the death of the old life in the flesh, through Jesus Christ, delivers the Jews from the law they had been expected to keep until the Messiah fulfilled its types.
Now the Jews were free to “remarry;” free to abandon the ancient system.
Gaya ng kamatayan ng kanyang mister ay nagpapalaya sa babae mula sa kautusan ng kanyang mister, ganon din ang kamatayan ng matandang kabuhayan sa laman, sa pamamagitan ni Jesu-Cristo, ay inililigtas ang mga Judio mula sa kautusan na inaasahan silang susundin hanggang sa maganap ng Mesiyas ang kinakatawanan nito. ¶ Ngayon ay malaya na mga Judio na “muling mag-asawa;” malayang iwanan ang dating matandang sistema.

13. Who is the Man of Romans?
2. Law Reveals Our Sin
Romans 7:7-10 NKJV
“Is the law sin? … I would not have known sin except through the law. … For apart from the law sin was dead.
I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.
And the commandment, which was
to bring life, I found to bring death.”
2. Inililitaw ng Kautusan ang Ating Kasalanan. “Ang kautusan ba’y kasalanan? ... Hindi ko sana nakilala ang kasalanan, kung hindi sa pamamagitan ng kautusan.... Sapagkat kung walang kautusan ang kasalanan ay patay. Minsan ako’y nabubuhay na hiwalay sa kautusan; subalit nang dumating ang utos, ay muling nabuhay ang kasalanan, at ako’y namatay, ¶ at ang utos na tungo sa buhay ay natuklasan kong ito’y tungo sa kamatayan” (Roma 7:7-10).

14. 2. Law Reveals Our Sin
Is the Law Sin?
The word law for Paul is the whole system introduced at Sinai, which included the moral law but wasn’t limited to it. Hence, Paul could quote from it in order to make his points.
When the system passed away at the death of Christ, that didn’t include the moral law, which had existed even before Sinai and exists after Calvary.
Ang Kautusan Ba’y Kasalanan? Ang salitang kautusan para kay Pablo ay ang buong sistemang ipinasok sa Sinai, na isinama ang kautusang moral pero hindi limitado rito. Kaya, puwedeng sumipi si Pablo mula rito, para maibigay ang kanyang punto. ¶ Nang lumipas na ang sistemang ito, sa Kamatayan ni Cristo, hindi nito isinama ang kautusang moral, na umiral na bago pa ang Sinai at nananatili matapos ang Kalbaryo.

15. 2. Law Reveals Our Sin
Is the Law Sin?
Paul is trying to build a bridge to lead the Jews—who revere the “law”—to see Christ as its fulfillment. He is showing that the law was necessary but that its function was limited.
The law was meant to show the need of salvation; it never was meant to be the means of obtaining that salvation.
Sinisikap ni Pablo na magtayo ng isang tulay na magdadala sa mga Judio—na iginagalang ang “kautusan”—na makita si Cristo bilang katuparan nito. Ipinapakita niya na ang kautusan ay kelangan ngunit ang tungkulin nito ay limitado. ¶ Ang kautusan ay sinadya upang ipakita ang pangangailangan ng kaligtasan; hinding-hindi ito sinadya bilang ang paraan para makamit ang kaligtasang ‘yon.

16. 2. Law Reveals Our Sin
Is the Law Sin?
For that we need Jesus, because the law—the entire Jewish system or the moral law—cannot bring salvation. Only Jesus and His righteousness, which comes to us by faith, can.
He chooses to blame sin, not the law, for his sinful condition. The law is good, for it is God’s standard of conduct, but as a sinner, Paul stood condemned before it.
Kelangan natin si Jesus para rito, sapagka’t ang kautusan—ang buong sistema ng mga Judio o ang kautusang moral—ay hindi makapagliligtas. Tanging si Jesus at ang Kanyang katuwiran, na dumarating sa atin sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya, ang may kaya. ¶ Pinili niyang sisisihin ang kasalanan, hindi ang kautusan, para sa kanyang makasalanang kalagayan. Mabuti ang kautusan, sapagka’t ito ang pamantayan ng Diyos para sa pag-uugali, ngunit bilang isang makasalanan, tumitindig si Pablo na nahatulan sa harapan nito.

17. “I am carnal, sold under sin. … For
Who is the Man of Romans 7?
3. Struggling With Sin
Romans 7:14-25 NKJV
“I am carnal, sold under sin. … For
the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. ... O wretched man that
I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
I thank God—through Jesus Christ
our Lord!”
3. Nakikipagpunyagi sa Kasalanan. “Ako’y makalaman, na ipinagbili sa ilalim ng kasalanan. ... Sapagkat ang mabuti na aking nais ay hindi ko ginagawa, ngunit ang masama na hindi ko nais ay siya kong ginagawa. Kahabag-habag na tao ako! Sino ang magliligtas sa akin mula sa katawang ito ng kamatayan? ¶ Ngunit salamat sa Diyos sa pamamagitan ni Jesu-Cristo na Panginoon natin” (Roma 7:14-25).

18. means enslavement to sin,
3. Struggling With Sin
A Terrible Sinner
Paul describes himself as “sold under sin.” He is a slave to sin. He has no freedom. He can’t do what he wants to do. He tries to do what the good law tells him to do, but sin won’t let him.
Living under the “law”
means enslavement to sin,
a merciless master.
Isang Masyadong Makasalanan. Inilalarawan ni Pablo ang kanyang sarili na “ipinagbili sa kasalanan.” Alipin siya ng kasalanan. Wala siyang kalayaan. Hindi niya magawa ang gusto niyang gawin. Sinusubukan niyang gawin kung ano ang sinasabi sa kanya ng mabuting kautusan, pero hindi siya pinapayagan ng kasalanan. ¶ Ang mabuhay sa ilalim ng “kautusan” ay nangangahulugang pagkaalipin sa kasalanan, isang walang awang panginoon.

19. Unfortunately, by failing to renew
3. Struggling With Sin
A Terrible Sinner
Unfortunately, by failing to renew
their dedicaion to Christ daily, many Christians are, in effect serving sin.
They rationalize that, in reality,
they are undergoing the normal experience of sanctification and
that they simply still have a long
way to go.
Sa kasamaang-palad, sa kabiguang magpanibago ng kanilang pagtatalaga kay Cristo araw-araw, maraming Kristiyano, sa katunayan ay naglilingkod sa kasalanan. ¶ Nangangatwiran sila na, sa katotohanan, sila’y dumaranas ng normal na karanasan ng pagpapakabanal at na sila’y simpleng malayo pa ang dapat marating.

20. 3. Struggling With Sin
The Man of Romans 7
Thus, instead of taking known sins to Christ and asking Him for victory over them, they hide behind Romans 7, which tells them, they think, that it is impossible to do right.
In reality, this chapter is saying that it is impossible to do right when a person is enslaved to sin, but victory is possible in Jesus Christ.
Ang Tao sa Roma 7. Sa gayon, sa halip na dalhin kay Cristo ang mga alam na kasalanan at humingi sa kanya ng pagtatagumpay laban sa mga ito, nagtatago sila sa likod ng Roma 7, na iniisip nilang nagsasabi sa kanila, na imposibleng gumawa ng tama. ¶ Sa katotohanan, ang kapitulong ito ay nagsasabing imposibleng gumawa ng tama kapag ang isang tao ay alipin ng kasalanan, pero ang tagumpay ay posible kay Jesu-Cristo.

21. Left to ourselves, without Christ,
Who is the Man of Romans 7?
Final Words
Left to ourselves, without Christ,
we are helpless against sin.
With Christ we have a new life in
Him, one in which—though self will constantly arise—the promises of victory are ours if we choose to
claim them. No one can choose to surrender to Christ for you.
You alone can make that choice.
Huling Pananalita. Kapag iniwan tayo sa ating sarili, na walang Cristo, wala tayong magagawa laban sa kasalanan. ¶ Kung kasama si Cristo tayo ay may bagong buhay sa Kanya, isa na—bagama’t ang sarili ay laging babangon—ang mga pangako ng pagtatagumpay ay sa atin kung pipiliin nating angkinin ang mga ito. Walang makakapili para sa ‘yo na sumuko kay Cristo. ¶ Ikaw lang ang maaaring gumawa ng pagpiling ‘yon.
