Romans 7:1-13

1KnowG2228 ye notG50, brethrenG80, (forG1063 I speakG2980 to them that knowG1097 the lawG3551,) thatG3754 the lawG3551 hath dominion overG2961 a manG444 as long asG1909G3745G5550 he livethG2198? 2ForG1063 the womanG1135 who hath an husbandG5220 is boundG1210 by the lawG3551 to her husbandG435 so long as he livethG2198; butG1161 ifG1437 the husbandG435 is deadG599, she is loosedG2673 fromG575 the lawG3551 of her husbandG435. 3So thenG686G3767 ifG1437, while her husbandG435 livethG2198, she is marriedG1096 to anotherG2087 manG435, she shall be calledG5537 an adulteressG3428: butG1161 ifG1437 her husbandG435 is deadG599, she isG2076 freeG1658 fromG575 that lawG3551; so that sheG846 isG1511 noG3361 adulteressG3428, though she be marriedG1096 to anotherG2087 manG435. 4ThereforeG5620, myG3450 brethrenG80, yeG5210 alsoG2532 are become deadG2289 to the lawG3551 byG1223 the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547; thatG1519 yeG5209 should be marriedG1096 to anotherG2087, even to him who is raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, thatG2443 we should bring forth fruitG2592 to GodG2316. 5ForG1063 whenG3753 we wereG2258 inG1722 the fleshG4561, the sinfulG266 passionsG3804, whichG3588 were byG1223 the lawG3551, did workG1754 inG1722 ourG2257 membersG3196 to bringG1519 forth fruitG2592 to deathG2288.1 6ButG1161 nowG3570 we are deliveredG2673 fromG575 the lawG3551, that being deadG599 byG1722 whichG3739 we were heldG2722; thatG5620 weG2248 should serveG1398 inG1722 newnessG2538 of spiritG4151, andG2532 notG3756 in the oldnessG3821 of the letterG1121.2

7WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767? Is the lawG3551 sinG266? By no meansG3361G1096. NayG235, I hadG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 sinG266, butG1508 byG1223 the lawG3551: forG1063G5037 I hadG1492 notG3756 knownG1492 lustG1939, exceptG1508 the lawG3551 had saidG3004, Thou shaltG1937 notG3756 covetG1937.3 8ButG1161 sinG266, takingG2983 occasionG874 byG1223 the commandmentG1785, wroughtG2716 inG1722 meG1698 all manner ofG3956 lustG1939. ForG1063 apart fromG5565 the lawG3551 sinG266 was deadG3498. 9ForG1161 IG1473 was aliveG2198 apart fromG5565 the lawG3551 onceG4218: butG1161 when the commandmentG1785 cameG2064, sinG266 revivedG326, andG1161 IG1473 diedG599. 10AndG2532 the commandmentG1785, whichG3588 was ordained toG1519 lifeG2222, IG3427 foundG2147G3778 to be toG1519 deathG2288. 11ForG1063 sinG266, takingG2983 occasionG874 byG1223 the commandmentG1785, deceivedG1818 meG3165, andG2532 byG1223 itG846 slewG615 me . 12ThereforeG5620G3303 the lawG3551 is holyG40, andG2532 the commandmentG1785 holyG40, andG2532 justG1342, andG2532 goodG18. 13Was thenG3767 that which is goodG18 madeG1096 deathG2288 to meG1698? By no meansG3361G1096. ButG235 sinG266, thatG2443 it might appearG5316 sinG266, workingG2716 deathG2288 in meG3427 byG1223 that which is goodG18; thatG2443 sinG266 byG1223 the commandmentG1785 might becomeG1096 exceedingG2596G5236 sinfulG268.
