Romans 7:5-17

5For whileG3753 we were 1in the fleshG4561, the sinfulG266 passionsG3804, which were 2brought to light by the LawG3551, were at workG1754 3in 4the partsG3196 of our body to bearG2592 fruitG2592 for deathG2288. 6But nowG3570 we have been 5releasedG2673 from the LawG3551, having 6diedG599 to that by whichG3739 we were boundG2722, soG5620 thatG5620 we serveG1398 in 7newnessG2538 of 8the 9SpiritG4151 and not in oldnessG3821 of the letterG1121.

710WhatG5101 shall we sayG3004 thenG3767? Is the LawG3551 sinG266? 1112FarG3361 fromG3361 it! On the contraryG235, 13I would not have come to knowG1097 sinG266 exceptG1508 14throughG1223 the LawG3551; for I would not have knownG3609 aboutG3609 15covetingG1939 ifG1487 the LawG3551 had not saidG3004, “16You shall not 17covetG1937.” 8But sinG266, 18takingG2983 an opportunityG874 19throughG1223 the commandmentG1785, producedG2716 in me 20covetingG1939 of everyG3956 kindG3956; for 21apartG5565 22from the LawG3551 sinG266 is deadG3498. 9I wasG2198 onceG4218 aliveG2198 apartG5565 23from the LawG3551; but when the commandmentG1785 cameG2064, sinG266 cameG326 toG326 lifeG326, and I diedG599; 10and thisG3778 commandmentG1785, which was 2425to resultG1519 in lifeG2222, provedG2147 26to resultG1519 in deathG2288 for me; 11for sinG266, 27takingG2983 an opportunityG874 28throughG1223 the commandmentG1785, 29deceivedG1818 me, and throughG1223 it, killedG615 me. 1230SoG5620 thenG5620, the LawG3551 is holyG40, and the commandmentG1785 is holyG40 and righteousG1342 and goodG18.

13ThereforeG3767 did that which is goodG18 becomeG1096 a cause of deathG2288 for me? 3132FarG3361 fromG3361 it! RatherG235 it was sinG266, inG2443 orderG2443 thatG2443 it might be shownG5316 to be sinG266 by bringingG2716 aboutG2716 my deathG2288 throughG1223 that which is goodG18, soG2443 thatG2443 throughG1223 the commandmentG1785 sinG266 would becomeG1096 utterlyG5236 sinfulG266.

14For we knowG3609 that the LawG3551 is 33spiritualG4152, but I amG1510 34fleshlyG4560, 35soldG4097 3637into bondage to sinG266. 15For 38I do not understandG1097 whatG3739 I am doingG2716; for I am not practicingG4238 39whatG3739 I wantG2309 to do, but I doG4160 the veryG3778 thingG3739 I hateG3404. 16HoweverG1161, ifG1487 I doG4160 the veryG3778 thingG3778 I do not wantG2309 to do, I agreeG4852 with 40the LawG3551, that the Law is goodG2570. 17But nowG3570, 41noG3765 longerG3765 am I the one doingG2716 it, but sinG266 that dwellsG1774 in me.
