1
Or
do you not know,
brethren
(for I am speaking
to those who know
the law),
that the law
has jurisdiction over
a person
as long
as he lives?
2
For the married
woman
is bound
by law
to
her husband
while he is living;
but if
her husband
dies,
she is released
from the law
concerning the husband.
3
So then,
if
while
her husband
is living
she is joined
to another
man,
she shall be called
an adulteress;
but
if
her husband
dies,
she is free
from the law,
so that she is not an adulteress
though
she is joined
to another
man.
4
Therefore,
my brethren,
you al
so
were made to die
to the Law
through
the body
of Christ,
so
that you might be joined
to another,
to Him who was raised
from the dead,
in order
that we might bear fruit
for God.
5
For while
we were in the flesh,
the sinful
passions,
which were aroused by the Law,
were at work
in the members
of our body to bear fruit
for death.
6
But now
we have been released
from the Law,
having died
to that by which
we were bound,
so
that we serve
in newness
of the Spirit
and not in oldness
of the letter.
7
What
shall we say
then?
Is
the Law
sin
?
May it never
be! On the contrary,
I would not have come to know
sin
except
through
the Law
;
for I would not have known about
coveting
if
the Law
had not said,
"YOU SHALL NOT COVET."
8
But
sin
,
taking
opportunity
through
the commandment,
produced
in me coveting
of every kind;
for apart
from the Law
sin
is dead.
9
I was once
alive
apart
from the Law;
but when the commandment
came,
sin
became
alive
and I died;
10
and this
commandment,
which was
to result
in life,
proved
to result
in death
for me;
11
for sin,
taking
an opportunity
through
the commandment,
deceived
me and
through
it killed
me.
12
So then,
the Law
is holy
,
and the commandment
is holy
and righteous
and good.
13
Therefore
did that which
is good
become
a cause of death
for me? May it never
be! Rather
it was
sin
,
in order
that it might be shown
to be
sin
by effecting
my death
through
that which
is good
,
so
that
through
the commandment
sin
would
become
utterly
sin
ful.
14
For we know
that the Law
is spiritual,
but I am
of flesh,
sold
into bondage to sin.
15
For
what
I am doing,
I do not understand;
for I am not practicing
what
I would like
to do, but I am doing
the very
thing
I hate.
16
But if
I do
the very thing
I do
not want
to do, I agree
with the Law, confessing that the Law
is good.
17
So
now,
no longer
am I the one doing
it, but sin
which dwells
in me.
18
For I know
that nothing
good
dwells
in me, that is, in my flesh;
for the willing
is present
in me, but the doing
of the
good
is not.
19
For the good
that I want,
I do not do,
but I practice
the very
evil
that I do not want.
20
But if
I am doing
the very thing
I do not want,
I am no longer
the one doing
it, but sin
which dwells
in me.
21
I find
then
the principle
that evil
is present
in me, the one who wants
to do
good.
22
For I joyfully concur
with the law
of God
in the inner
man,
23
but I see
a different
law
in the members
of my body, waging war against
the
law
of my mind
and making me a prisoner
of
the
law
of sin
which is in my members.
24
Wretched
man
that I am! Who
will set me free
from the body
of this
death?
25
Thanks
be to God
through
Jesus
Christ
our Lord!
So then,
on the one hand
I myself
with my mind
am serving
the law
of God,
but on the other,
with my flesh
the law
of sin.
