Romans 7:9-25

9I wasG2198 onceG4218 aliveG2198 apartG5565 1from the LawG3551; but when the commandmentG1785 cameG2064, sinG266 cameG326 toG326 lifeG326, and I diedG599; 10and thisG3778 commandmentG1785, which was 23to resultG1519 in lifeG2222, provedG2147 4to resultG1519 in deathG2288 for me; 11for sinG266, 5takingG2983 an opportunityG874 6throughG1223 the commandmentG1785, 7deceivedG1818 me, and throughG1223 it, killedG615 me. 128SoG5620 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? 910FarG3361 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 11spiritualG4152, but I amG1510 12fleshlyG4560, 13soldG4097 1415into bondage to sinG266. 15For 16I do not understandG1097 whatG3739 I am doingG2716; for I am not practicingG4238 17whatG3739 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 18the LawG3551, that the Law is goodG2570. 17But nowG3570, 19noG3765 longerG3765 am I the one doingG2716 it, but sinG266 that dwellsG1774 in me. 18For I knowG3609 that goodG18 does not dwellG3611 in me, that is, in my 20fleshG4561; for the willingG2309 is presentG3873 in me, but the doingG2716 of the goodG2570 is not. 19For 21the goodG18 that I wantG2309, I do not doG4160, but I practiceG4238 the veryG3778 evilG2556 that I do not wantG2309. 20But ifG1487 I doG4160 the veryG3778 thingG3778 I do not wantG2309, 22I am noG3765 longerG3765 the one doingG2716 it, but sinG266 that dwellsG3611 in me.

21I findG2147 thenG686 23the 24principleG3551 that evilG2556 is presentG3873 in me, the one who wantsG2309 to doG4160 goodG2570. 22For I joyfullyG4913 agreeG4913 with the lawG3551 of GodG2316 25in 26the innerG2080 personG444, 23but I seeG991 27a differentG2087 lawG3551 in 28the partsG3196 of my body wagingG497 warG497 againstG497 the 29lawG3551 of my mindG3563, and makingG163 me aG163 prisonerG163 30of 31the lawG3551 of sinG266, the law which is in 32my body’s partsG3196. 24WretchedG5005 manG444 that I am! WhoG5101 will setG4506 me freeG4506 from 3334the bodyG4983 of thisG3778 35deathG2288? 2536ThanksG5485 be to GodG2316 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 our LordG2962! SoG686 thenG686, on the oneG3303 handG3303 I myselfG846 with my mindG3563 am servingG1398 the lawG3551 of GodG2316, but on the otherG1161, with my fleshG4561 37the lawG3551 of sinG266.
