Chapter 7

1 2228 Know ye not,50 brethren,80 (for1063 I speak2980 to them that know1097 the law,)3551 how that3754 the3588 law3551 hath dominion over2961 a man444 1909 as long as3745 5550 he liveth?2198
|
2 For1063 the3588 woman1135 which hath an husband5220 is bound1210 by the law3551 to her husband435 so long as he liveth;2198 but1161 if1437 the3588 husband435 be dead,599 she is loosed2673 from575 the3588 law3551 of her husband.435
|
3 So686 then3767 if,1437 while her husband435 liveth,2198 she be married1096 to another2087 man,435 she shall be called5537 an adulteress:3428 but1161 if1437 her husband435 be dead,599 she is2076 free1658 from575 that law;3551 so that she846 is1511 no3361 adulteress,3428 though she be married1096 to another2087 man.435
|
4 Wherefore,5620 my3450 brethren,80 ye5210 also2532 are become dead2289 to the3588 law3551 by1223 the3588 body4983 of Christ;5547 that ye5209 should be married1096 to another,2087 even to him who is raised1453 from1537 the dead,3498 that2443 we should bring forth fruit2592 unto God.2316
|
5 For1063 when3753 we were2258 in1722 the3588 flesh,4561 the3588 motions3804 of sins,266 which3588 were by1223 the3588 law,3551 did work1754 in1722 our2257 members3196 to bring forth fruit2592 unto death.2288
|
6 But1161 now3570 we are delivered2673 from575 the3588 law,3551 that being dead599 wherein1722 3739 we were held;2722 that5620 we2248 should serve1398 in1722 newness2538 of spirit,4151 and2532 not3756 in the oldness3821 of the letter.1121
|
7 What5101 shall we say2046 then?3767 Is the3588 law3551 sin?266 God forbid.1096 3361 Nay,235 I had not3756 known1097 sin,266 but1508 by1223 the law:3551 for1063 I had5037 not3756 known1492 lust,1939 except1508 the3588 law3551 had said,3004 Thou shalt not3756 covet.1937
|
8 But1161 sin,266 taking2983 occasion874 by1223 the3588 commandment,1785 wrought2716 in1722 me1698 all manner3956 of concupiscence.1939 For1063 without5565 the law3551 sin266 was dead.3498
|
9 For1161 I1473 was alive2198 without5565 the law3551 once:4218 but1161 when the3588 commandment1785 came,2064 sin266 revived,326 and1161 I1473 died.599
|
10 And2532 the3588 commandment,1785 which3588 was ordained to1519 life,2222 I3427 found2147 to be3778 unto1519 death.2288
|
11 For1063 sin,266 taking2983 occasion874 by1223 the3588 commandment,1785 deceived1818 me,3165 and2532 by1223 it846 slew615 me.
|
12 Wherefore5620 the3588 law3551 is holy,40 and2532 the3588 commandment1785 holy,40 and2532 just,1342 and2532 good.18
|
13 Was then3767 that which is good18 made1096 death2288 unto me?1698 God forbid.1096 3361 But235 sin,266 that2443 it might appear5316 sin,266 working2716 death2288 in me3427 by1223 that which is good;18 that2443 sin266 by1223 the3588 commandment1785 might become1096 exceeding2596 5236 sinful.268
|
14 For1063 we know1492 that3754 the3588 law3551 is2076 spiritual:4152 but1161 I1473 am1510 carnal,4559 sold4097 under5259 sin.266
|
15 For1063 that which3739 I do2716 I allow1097 not:3756 for1063 what3739 I would,2309 that5124 do4238 I not;3756 but235 what3739 I hate,3404 that5124 do4160 I.
|
16 If1487 then1161 I do4160 that5124 which3739 I would2309 not,3756 I consent4852 unto the3588 law3551 that3754 it is good.2570
|
17 Now3570 then1161 it is no more3765 I1473 that do2716 it,846 but235 sin266 that dwelleth3611 in1722 me.1698
|
18 For1063 I know1492 that3754 in1722 me1698 (that is,5123 in1722 my3450 flesh,)4561 dwelleth3611 no3756 good thing:18 for1063 to will2309 is present3873 with me;3427 but1161 how to perform2716 that which is good2570 I find2147 not.3756
|
19 For1063 the good18 that3739 I would2309 I do4160 not:3756 but235 the evil2556 which3739 I would2309 not,3756 that5124 I do.4238
|
20 Now1161 if1487 I1473 do4160 that5124 I3739 would2309 not,3756 it is no more3765 I1473 that do2716 it,846 but235 sin266 that dwelleth3611 in1722 me.1698
|
21 I find2147 then686 a law,3551 that, when I1698 would2309 do4160 good,2570 3754 evil2556 is present3873 with me.1698
|
22 For1063 I delight4913 in the3588 law3551 of God2316 after2596 the3588 inward2080 man: 444
|
23 But1161 I see991 another2087 law3551 in1722 my3450 members,3196 warring against497 the3588 law3551 of my3450 mind,3563 and2532 bringing me into captivity163 3165 to the3588 law3551 of sin266 which is5607 in1722 my3450 members.3196
|
24 O wretched5005 man444 that I1473 am! who5101 shall deliver4506 me3165 from1537 the3588 body4983 of this5127 death?2288
|
25 I thank2168 God2316 through1223 Jesus2424 Christ5547 our2257 Lord.2962 So686 then3767 with the3588 mind3563 I1473 myself848 3303 serve1398 the law3551 of God;2316 but1161 with the3588 flesh4561 the law3551 of sin.266
