Romans 7

1Know ye notG50, brethrenG80, (forG1063 I speakG2980 to them that knowG1097 the lawG3551,) how thatG3754 the lawG3588G3551 hath dominion overG2961 a manG3588G444 asG3745 longG5550 asG3745 he livethG2198? 2ForG1063 the womanG1135 which hath an husbandG5220 is boundG1210 by the lawG3551 toG435 her husbandG435 so long as he livethG3588G2198; butG1161 ifG1437 the husbandG3588G435 be deadG599, she is loosedG2673 fromG575 the lawG3588G3551 ofG3588G435 her husbandG3588G435. 3SoG686 thenG3767 ifG1437, whileG2198 her husbandG3588G435 livethG2198, she be marriedG1096 toG435 anotherG2087 manG435, she shall be calledG5537 an adulteressG3428: butG1161 ifG1437 her husbandG3588G435 be deadG599, she isG1510 freeG1658 fromG575 that lawG3588G3551; so thatG3588 sheG846 isG1510 noG3361 adulteressG3428, though she be marriedG1096 toG435 anotherG2087 manG435. 4

WhereforeG5620, myG1473 brethrenG80, yeG4771 alsoG2532 are become deadG2289 to the lawG3588G3551 byG1223 the bodyG3588G4983 of ChristG3588G5547; thatG1519 yeG4771 should be marriedG1096 to anotherG2087, even to him who is raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, thatG2443 we should bring forth fruitG2592 unto GodG3588G2316. 5

ForG1063 whenG3753 we wereG1510 inG1722 the fleshG3588G4561, the motionsG3588G3804 of sinsG3588G266, which wereG3588 byG1223 the lawG3588G3551, did workG1754 inG1722 ourG1473 membersG3588G3196 toG1519 bring forth fruitG2592 unto deathG3588G2288. 6ButG1161 nowG3570 we are deliveredG2673 fromG575 the lawG3588G3551, that being deadG599 whereinG1722G3739 we were heldG2722; thatG5620 weG1473 should serveG1398 inG1722 newnessG2538 of spiritG4151, andG2532 notG3756 in the oldnessG3821 of the letterG1121. 7WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767? Is the lawG3588G3551 sinG266? God forbidG3361G1096. NayG235, I hadG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 sinG3588G266, butG1487G3361 byG1223 the lawG3551: forG1063 I hadG1492 notG3756 knownG1492 lustG3588G1939, exceptG1487G3361 the lawG3588G3551 had saidG3004, Thou shaltG1937 notG3756 covetG1937. 8ButG1161 sinG3588G266, takingG2983 occasionG874 byG1223 the commandmentG3588G1785, wroughtG2716 inG1722 meG1473 all manner ofG3956 concupiscenceG1939. ForG1063 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 sinG266 was deadG3498. 9ForG1161 IG1473 was aliveG2198 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 onceG4218: butG1161 whenG2064 the commandmentG3588G1785 cameG2064, sinG3588G266 revivedG326, andG1161 IG1473 diedG599. 10AndG2532 the commandmentG3588G1785, whichG3588 was ordained toG1519 lifeG2222, IG1473 foundG2147 to be untoG1519 deathG2288. 11ForG1063 sinG266, takingG2983 occasionG874 byG1223 the commandmentG3588G1785, deceivedG1818 meG1473, andG2532 byG1223 itG846 slewG615 me. 12WhereforeG5620 the lawG3588G3551 is holyG40, andG2532 the commandmentG3588G1785 holyG40, andG2532 justG1342, andG2532 goodG18. 13WasG1096 thenG3767 that which is goodG3588G18 madeG1096 deathG2288 unto meG1473? God forbidG3361G1096. ButG235 sinG3588G266, thatG2443 it might appearG5316 sinG266, workingG2716 deathG2288 in meG1473 byG1223 that which is goodG3588G18; thatG2443 sinG3588G266 byG1223 the commandmentG3588G1785 might becomeG1096 exceedingG5236 sinfulG268.

14ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 the lawG3588G3551 isG1510 spiritualG4152: butG1161 IG1473 amG1510 carnalG4559, soldG4097 underG5259 sinG3588G266. 15ForG1063 that whichG3739 I doG2716 I allowG1097 notG3756: forG1063 whatG3739 I wouldG2309, thatG3778 do IG4238 notG3756; butG235 whatG3739 I hateG3404, thatG3778 do IG4160. 16IfG1487 thenG1161 I doG4160 that whichG3739 I wouldG2309 notG3756, I consent untoG4852 the lawG3588G3551 thatG3754 it is goodG2570. 17NowG3570 thenG1161 it is no moreG3765 IG1473 thatG3765 doG2716 itG846, butG235 sinG266 that dwellethG3611 inG1722 meG1473. 18ForG1063 I knowG1492 thatG3754 inG1722 meG1473 (thatG3778 isG1510, inG1722 myG1473 fleshG3588G4561,) dwellethG3611 noG3756 good thingG18: forG1063 to willG2309 is presentG3873 with meG1473; butG1161 how to performG2716 that which is goodG2570 I findG2147 notG3756. 19ForG1063 the goodG18 thatG3739 I wouldG2309 I doG4160 notG3756: butG235 the evilG2556 whichG3739 I wouldG2309 notG3756, thatG3778 I doG4238. 20NowG1161 ifG1487 I doG4160 thatG3739 IG1473 wouldG2309 notG3756, it is no moreG3765 IG1473 thatG3765 doG2716 itG846, butG235 sinG266 that dwellethG3611 inG1722 meG1473. 21I findG2147 thenG686 a lawG3588G3551, thatG3754, whenG2309 IG1473 wouldG2309 doG4160 goodG2570, evilG2556 is presentG3873 with meG1473. 22ForG1063 I delightG4913 in the lawG3588G3551 of GodG3588G2316 afterG2596 theG444 inwardG2080 manG444: 23ButG1161 I seeG991 anotherG2087 lawG3551 inG1722 myG1473 membersG3588G3196, warring againstG497 the lawG3588G3551 ofG3588G3563 myG1473 mindG3588G3563, andG2532 bringingG163 meG1473 into captivityG163 to the lawG3588G3551 of sinG3588G266 which isG1510 inG1722 myG1473 membersG3588G3196.

24OG444 wretchedG5005 manG444 that I amG1473! whoG5101 shall deliverG4506 meG1473 fromG1537 the bodyG3588G4983 ofG3588G2288 thisG3778 deathG3588G2288? 25I thankG2168 GodG3588G2316 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG1473 LordG3588G2962. SoG686 thenG3767 with the mindG3563 IG1473 myselfG846 serveG1398 the lawG3551 of GodG2316; butG1161 with the fleshG4561 the lawG3551 of sinG266.
