1What can we say about this? Should we continue to walk in our broken ways so that Creator will show us even more kindness?
2This kind of thinking takes us nowhere! How can we who have died to our bad hearts and broken ways continue to walk that path?
3Or have you forgotten that we who have participated in the purification ceremony of Creator Sets Free (Jesus) the Chosen One have ceremonially died with him?[#6:3 Baptism]
4This ceremony shows that we have been buried with him in death, so that in the same way the Chosen One was raised from the dead by the power of our Father the Great Spirit, we should walk this new road of life to bring honor to him.
5If we have joined with him in his death, then, like him, we will also rise again to a new life.
6For we know that our old self was nailed to the cross with him, killing the evil desires in our bodies, so that our broken ways will not rule over us.
7For dead people can no longer follow their bad hearts and broken ways.
8I will say it another way . If we have died with the Chosen One, we believe we will also live with him.
9For we know that once the Chosen One was raised to life from the dead, he would never die again. Death no longer has the power to rule over him.
10He died, once for all, to bring an end to humanity’s broken ways. The life he now lives is a life that brings honor to the Great Spirit.
11So think about yourselves in the same way, dead to broken ways and alive to the Great Spirit in harmony with the Chosen One Creator Sets Free (Jesus) .
12You must no longer give in to the desires of your weak human bodies, letting your broken ways turn you away from the good path.
13So then, you should no longer permit broken ways to use your bodies for wrongdoing. Instead, as people whom the Great Spirit has raised from death to life, offer your bodies to him for doing what is right.
14Your bad hearts and broken ways have no power to rule over you now, for you are not under the restrictions of our tribal law, but under the freedom that the gift of Creator’s great kindness brings.
15What then does this mean? Should we continue to walk in broken ways since we are not under our tribal law, but under the gift of Creator’s great kindness? Let that kind of thinking fall to the ground!
16You must know that if you follow a path, you will end up where it takes you. Which path will you follow? Will you follow the path of broken ways that leads to death, or the path that leads to good standing in the eyes of the Great Spirit?
17I am giving thanks to the Great Spirit! For even though you once followed your bad hearts and broken ways, you turned from that path, and now from the heart you follow the sacred ways that you have been taught.
18You have now been set free from your broken ways to walk a path of doing what is right.
19I am using weak human words to speak to weak human beings! You used to walk in impure ways and became the slaves of doing wrong, leading to even worse things. So now, in the same way, begin to walk as slaves of doing what is good and right, living life in a sacred manner.
20When you followed your old ways, you did not even think about walking in a sacred manner.
21But what good came from the things you are now ashamed of? For those things are a sure path to death.
22But now you have been set free from broken ways to follow the ways of the Great Spirit. Good fruit grows along this path as you walk in a sacred manner on the road that leads to the life of the world to come that never fades away, full of beauty and harmony.
23Following the path of broken ways only earns us death, but Creator’s free gift to us is the life of the world to come that never fades away, full of beauty and harmony. This free gift is ours in the Chosen One, who is our Honored Chief Creator Sets Free (Jesus) .
