1 Or are you ignorant, brethren, (to those knowing for law I speak,) that the law lords over the man, for as long as a time he lives?
2 The for bound to a man woman to the living husband is bound by law; if but may die the husband, she is freed from the law of the husband.
3 So then living the husband an adulteress she will be called, if she should be to a man another; if but should die the husband, free she is from law, of the not to be her an adulteress, having become to a man another.
4 Therefore brethren of me, also you were put to death by the law through the body of the Anointed, in order that to become you to another, to him out of dead ones having been raised, so that we should bring forth fruit to the God.
5 When for we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins, those through the law, worked in the members of us, in order that to bring forth fruit to the death.
6 Now but we were freed from the law, having died, in which we were held; so that to serve us in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.
7 What then shall we say? the law sin? Not let it be; but the sin not I knew, if not through law; the even for strong desire not I knew, if not the law said: Not thou shalt lust.
8 Opportunity and having taken the sin, through the commandment worked out in me all strong desire; apart from for law sin dead.
9 I and was alive apart from law then; having come but the commandment, the sin lived again, I and died;
10 and was found by me the commandment that for life, same for death.
11 The for sin opportunity having taken, through the commandment deceived me, and through it killed.
12 So that the indeed law holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.
13 That then good thing, to me has become death? Not let it be; but the sin; so that it might appear sin, through the good to me working out death, so that might become in excess a sinner the sin through the commandment.
14 We know for, that the law spiritual is; I but fleshly am, having been sold under the sin.
15 What for I work out, not I know; not for what I wish, this I practice; but what I hate, this I do.
16 If but what not I wish, this I do, I assent to the law, that excellent.
17 Now but no longer I work out it, but the dwelling in me sin.
18 I know for, that not dwells in me, this is in the flesh of me, a good thing; the for to will is present with me, the but to work out the excellent, not I find.
19 Not for what I wish, I do a good thing; but what not I wish an evil thing, this I practice.
20 If but what not wish I, this I do, no longer I work out it, but the dwelling in me sin.
21 I find therefore the law in the wishing to me to do the excellent, because with me the evil thing lies near.
22 I am pleased for wish the law of the God according to the inside man;
23 I see but another law in the members of me warring against the law of the mind of me, and making a captive me to the law of the sin to that existing in the members of me.
24 Wretched I man; who me will rescue from the body of the death this?
25 I thank the God by means of Jesus Anointed of the Lord of me. So then myself I with the indeed mind am in servitude to a law of God; with the but flesh, to a law of sin.
1 Do you not know, for I speak to men who know the law, that the law has dominion jurisdiction over a man as long as he lives?
2 Law binds the married woman to her husband while he lives. But if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.
3 So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she will be called an adulteress. If the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.
4 Brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ; that you should be joined to another, even to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit to God.
5 When we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit to death.
6 We have been discharged released from the law. We have died to that by which we were held. So we serve in newness of the Spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid! I had not known sin except through the law. For I had not known coveting except the law had said: You should not covet.
8 But sin, finding occasion, worked out in me through the commandment all manner of coveting. Apart from the law sin is dead.
9 I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
10 The commandment, which was to life, this I found to be to death.
11 For sin, finding occasion, through the commandment deceived me, and through it killed me.
12 The law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
13 Did that which is good become death to me? God forbid! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good. This way sin might be shown to be sin. Through the commandment sin could be recognized.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual. But I am fleshly and sold under sin.
15 I do not understand what I am doing. For what I want to do I do not do. What I hate, I do.
16 But if what I do not want to do, I do, I consent to the law that it is right.
17 Now then it is no longer I that do it, but the sin that dwells in me.
18 I know that good does not live in my human nature. For even though the desire to do good is in me, I am not able to do it.
19 I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I do the evil that I do not want to do.
20 If I do what I do not want to do, this means that I am no longer the one who does it. Instead, it is the sin that lives in me.
21 I find that this law is at work. When I want to do what is good, what is evil is the only choice I have.
22 My inner person delights in the law of God.
23 However I see a different law at work in my body. This law fights against the law that my mind approves of. It makes me a prisoner to the law of sin that is at work in my body.
24 Miserable man that I am! Who will rescue me from the body undergoing this death?
25 Thanks to God, through our Lord Jesus Christ! So then I can serve Gods law only with my mind, while my human nature serves the law of sin.
