Romans 7:5-17

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.

14ForG1063 we knowG1492 thatG3754 the lawG3551 isG2076 spiritualG4152: butG1161 IG1473 amG1510 carnalG4559, soldG4097 underG5259 sinG266. 15ForG1063 that whichG3739 I doG2716 I understandG1097 notG3756: forG1063 whatG3739 I wouldG2309, thatG5124 I doG4238 notG3756; butG235 whatG3739 I hateG3404, thatG5124 I doG4160.4 16IfG1487 thenG1161 I doG4160 thatG5124 whichG3739 I wouldG2309 notG3756, I consentG4852 to the lawG3551 thatG3754 it is goodG2570. 17NowG3570 thenG1161 it is no moreG3765 IG1473 that doG2716 itG846, butG235 sinG266 that dwellethG3611 inG1722 meG1698.
