1 Eh, all my braddahs an sistahs, you know how da Rules work, aah? All da time you alive, da Rules get powa ova you. But afta you mahke, da Rules no mo powa ova you. 2 Da Rules tell, if get one wahine dat stay married to one guy, she gotta stay tight wit da guy da whole time he stay alive. But if da husban mahke, den she no need follow da Rules fo da husban an wife. 3 If she live wit anodda guy, an her husban alive still yet, dass mean she one wahine dat fool aroun behind her husban back. But den, if her husban mahke, den da Rules fo da husban an wife not fo her no moa. An if she marry anodda guy, dat no mean she fool aroun behind her mahke husban back.

An dat make us da kine peopo dat do wat we not suppose to do wit oua bodies. Cuz a dat, oua life jalike one no good fruit, an dass wat cut us off from God. 6 But now, we free up from da powa dat make us follow da Jew kine Rules cuz jalike we mahke to dat kine Rules awready. Da Rules dat peopo write inside da Bible befo time neva free us guys up. Az was da ol way. But da new way stay lidis. God Spirit stay in charge a us now! Az why us guys can work fo God now.
Da Bad Kine Stuff Dat Stay Inside Us Guys
7 ✡So den, wat you tink? Da Jew kine Rules no good, o wat? No ways! If I neva undastan da Rules, den no way I undastan da bad kine stuff dat stay inside me. If da Rules neva tell, “No take odda guys stuffs fo ony you,” den I neva know I not suppose to take odda guys stuffs fo ony me. 8 But dass wat da Rules tell. An I get bad kine stuff inside me. Az why I like get all kine stuff dass not my stuff. If neva have da Rules, den no mo notting fo make peopo like broke um. An if no mo Rules, da bad kine stuff no mo powa ova peopo.
9 Da way I live befo time, I neva know da Rules. Den bumbye, I find out dat God tell dat get tings I not suppose to do—an right den an dea, jalike all da bad kine stuff inside me wen wake up an make me like do dose tings real bad! 10 Den, az jalike I wen mahke inside. Had da Rules fo peopo come alive fo real kine. But fo me, jalike da Rules cut me off from get um right wit God. 11 ✡Da Rules tell how I gotta ack. But inside me jalike da Rules dat God tell jam up wat I figga cuz I like do bad kine stuff. Cuz a dat, jalike was da Rules dat wen cut me off fo no get um right wit God.
12 Same time, da Rules stay spesho fo God. Eryting da Rules tell we gotta do, all dat stay spesho fo God. An stay right an good too.
13 You tink was da Rules dat stay good cut me off fo no get um right wit God? No was da Rules! Was da bad kine stuff inside me dat show I wen broke da Rules. Dass wat cut me off from God! Da Rules stay real good, an dey show dat da bad kine stuff stay bad fo real kine. An dass how us guys get cut off an no get um right wit God. So wen God tell us guys how we gotta ack, dat show dat da bad kine stuff inside us guys az no good!
Da War Inside Us
14 We know dat da Rules come from da Good An Spesho Spirit. But me, I live jalike I one slave fo ony do bad kine stuff. 15 ✡I donno wat I stay do. Cuz I like do wass right, but I no can do um. I ony do wat I no like fo do! 16 If I do da tings I no like fo do, den I know fo shua da Rules stay good. 17 Cuz dass not me dat do um, but da bad kine stuff dat stay inside me stay do um.
18 I know fo shua dat no mo notting good stay inside me. Erytime I like do bad kine stuff. I like do good kine stuff too, but den, I donno how fo do um! 19 Da good kine stuff dat I like do, I no do um. But da bad kine stuff I no like do, I do um. 20 Wen I do wat I no like do, az not me dat make me do um. Az da bad kine stuff dat stay inside me dat make me like do um.
21 I figga dis: wen I like do wass good, right dea inside me I like do da bad kine stuff too. 22 I stay real good inside wen I tink bout da Rules from God. 23 But jalike get one diffren kine rule inside me dat erytime make me come hamajang. Dass jalike get one war inside my body! Da way I figga, I like do wat stay good, but I no can. Da bad kine stuff take ova inside my body, an make me one prisona fo do all kine bad kine stuff.
24 Sad! I stay all hamajang inside! I like fo somebody free me up fo no get cut off from God! 25 God, mahalo plenny! Cuz Jesus Christ, Da One In Charge, he free me up! So dis how stay: I one slave. No matta my head like do eryting da Rules From God tell I gotta do—but how I feel inside, az jalike get anodda rule dat tell I gotta do bad kine stuff.
