For we have da'as that the Torah is Ruchanit (Spiritual, of the Ruach Hakodesh); but I am of the basar (fallen humanity) sold under the power of (slave master Chet Kadmon) Chet.

In Context

15For I do not have da'as what I do. For that which I commit is not what I want; no, it is what I hate that I do!
