| 7:1 | Are ye ignorant, brethren -- for to those knowing law I speak -- that the law hath lordship over the man as long as he liveth? |
| 7:2 | for the married woman to the living husband hath been bound by law, and if the husband may die, she hath been free from the law of the husband; |
| 7:3 | so, then, the husband being alive, an adulteress she shall be called if she may become another man's; and if the husband may die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, having become another man's. |
| 7:4 | So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another's, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God; |
| 7:5 | for when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins, that `are' through the law, were working in our members, to bear fruit to the death; |
| 7:6 | and now we have ceased from the law, that being dead in which we were held, so that we may serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter. |
| 7:7 | What, then, shall we say? the law `is' sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said: |
| 7:8 | `Thou shalt not covet;' and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness -- for apart from law sin is dead. |
| 7:9 | And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having come, the sin revived, and I died; |
| 7:10 | and the command that `is' for life, this was found by me for death; |
| 7:11 | for the sin, having received an opportunity, through the command, did deceive me, and through it did slay `me'; |
| 7:12 | so that the law, indeed, `is' holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good. |
| 7:13 | That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command, |
| 7:14 | for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin; |
| 7:15 | for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do. |
| 7:16 | And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that `it is' good, |
| 7:17 | and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me, |
| 7:18 | for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find, |
| 7:19 | for the good that I will, I do not; but the evil that I do not will, this I practise. |
| 7:20 | And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me. |
| 7:21 | I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is right, with me the evil is present, |
| 7:22 | for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man, |
| 7:23 | and I behold another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of the sin that `is' in my members. |
| 7:24 | A wretched man I `am'! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death? |
| 7:25 | I thank God -- through Jesus Christ our Lord; so then, I myself indeed with the mind do serve the law of God, and with the flesh, the law of sin. |
| 7:1 | Remember ye not brethren (I speake to them yt know the lawe) how that the lawe hath power over a man as longe as it endureth? |
| 7:2 | For the woman which is in subieccion to a man is bounde by the lawe to the man as longe as he liveth. Yf the man be deed she is lowsed from the lawe of the man. |
| 7:3 | So then yf whill the man liveth she couple her selfe with another man she shalbe counted a wedlocke breaker. But yf the man be deed she is fre fro the lawe: so that she is no wedlocke breaker though she couple her selfe with another man. |
| 7:4 | Even so ye my brethren are deed concerninge the lawe by the body of Christ yt ye shuld be coupled to another (I meane to him that is rysen agayne fro deeth) that we shuld bringe forth frute vnto God. |
| 7:5 | For when we were in the flesshe the lustes of synne which were stered vppe by ye lawe raygned in oure membres to bringe forth frute vnto deeth. |
| 7:6 | But now are we delivered fro the lawe and deed fro that whervnto we werein bondage that we shuld serve in a newe conversacion of ye sprete and not in ye olde conversacion of the letter. |
| 7:7 | What shall we saye then? is ye lawe synne? God forbid: but I knewe not what synne meant but by the lawe. For I had not knowne what lust had meant excepte the lawe had sayde thou shalt not lust. |
| 7:8 | But synne toke an occasion by the meanes of the commaundement and wrought in me all manner of concupiscece. For with out the lawe synne was deed. |
| 7:9 | I once lived with out lawe. But when the commaundement came synne revyved and I was deed. |
| 7:10 | And the very same comaundement which was ordeyned vnto lyfe was founde to be vnto me an occasion of deeth. |
| 7:11 | For synne toke occasion by the meanes of the comaundement and so disceaved me and by the selfe commaundement slewe we. |
| 7:12 | Wherfore the lawe is holy and the commaundement holy iust and good. |
| 7:13 | Was that then which is good made deeth vnto me? God forbyd. Naye synne was deeth vnto me that it myght appere how that synne by the meanes of that which is good had wrought deeth in me: that synne which is vnder the commandemet myght be out of measure synfull. |
| 7:14 | For we knowe that the lawe is spirituall: but I am carnall solde vnder synne |
| 7:15 | because I wote not what I doo. For what I wold that do I not: but what I hate that do I. |
| 7:16 | Yf I do now that which I wolde not I graute to the lawe that it is good. |
| 7:17 | So then nowe it is not I that do it but synne that dwelleth in me. |
| 7:18 | For I knowe that in me (that is to saye in my flesshe) dwelleth no good thinge. To will is present with me: but I fynde no meanes to performe that which is good. |
| 7:19 | For I doo not yt good thinge which I wold: but that evill do I which I wolde not. |
| 7:20 | Finally yf I do that I wolde not then is it not I that doo it but synne that dwelleth in me doeth it. |
| 7:21 | I fynde then by the lawe that when I wolde do good evyll is present with me. |
| 7:22 | I delite in the lawe of God concerninge the inner man. |
| 7:23 | But I se another lawe in my membres rebellinge agaynst the lawe of my mynde and subduynge me vnto the lawe of synne which is in my membres. |
| 7:24 | O wretched man yt I am: who shall delyver me fro this body of deeth? |
| 7:25 | I thanke God thorow Iesus Christ oure Lorde. So then I my silfe in my mynde serve the lawe of God and in my flesshe the lawe of synne. |
| 7:1 | Knowe ye not brethren (for I speake vnto them that knowe the lawe) how that ye lawe hath power vpon a man as longe as he lyueth? |
| 7:2 | For the woman yt is in subieccion to the man, is bounde vnto the lawe whyle the man lyueth: but yf the man dye, then is she lowsed from the lawe that concerneth the man. |
| 7:3 | Yf she be now with another man, whyle the man lyueth, she shal be called a wedlocke breaker. But yf the man be deed, then is she fre from the lawe, so that she is no wedlocke breaker, yf she be with another man. |
| 7:4 | Euen so my brethren, ye also are deed vnto the lawe by the body of Christ, that ye shulde be with another (namely wt him which is raysed vp from the deed) that we shulde brynge forth frute vnto God. |
| 7:5 | For whan we were in the flesh, the synfull lustes (which were stered vp by the lawe) were mightie in oure membres to brynge forth frute vnto death. |
| 7:6 | But now are we lowsed from the lawe, and deed vnto it, that helde vs captyue, so that we shulde serue in a new conuersacion of the sprete, and not in the olde conuersacion of the letter. |
| 7:7 | What shal we saye then? Is the lawe synne? God forbyd: Neuertheles I knewe not synne, but by ye lawe. For I had knowne nothinge of lust, yf the lawe had not sayde: Thou shalt not lust. |
| 7:8 | But then toke synne occasion at the commaundement, and stered vp in me all maner of lust. For without the lawe synne was deed. |
| 7:9 | As for me, I lyued some tyme without lawe. Howbeit whan the commaundement came, synne reuyued, but I was deed. |
| 7:10 | And the very same commaundement that was geuen me vnto life, was founde to be vnto me on occasion of death. |
| 7:11 | For synne toke occasion at the comaundement, and disceaued me, and slewe me by the same commaundement. |
| 7:12 | The lawe in dede is holy, and the commaundement holy, iust and good. |
| 7:13 | Is that then which is good, become death vnto me? God forbyd. But synne, that it mighte appeare how yt it is synne, hath wroughte me death thorow good: that synne mighte be out of measure synfull by the commaundement. |
| 7:14 | For we knowe, that the lawe is spirituall, but I am carnall, solde vnder synne: |
| 7:15 | because I knowe not what I do. For I do not yt I will, but what I hate, yt do I. |
| 7:16 | Yf I do now that which I wil not, the graunte I, that the lawe is good. |
| 7:17 | So then it is not I that do it, but synne that dwelleth in me: |
| 7:18 | for I knowe that in me (yt is, in my flesh) there dwelleth no good thinge.To wyll is present wt me, but to perfourme yt which is good, |
| 7:19 | I fynde not. For ye good that I wyll, do I not: but the euell which I wil not, that do I. |
| 7:20 | Yf I do now that I wil not, then is it not I that do it, but synne that dwelleth in me. |
| 7:21 | Thus fynde I now by the lawe, yt whan I wyl do good, euell is present with me. |
| 7:22 | For I delite in the lawe of God after the inwarde man: |
| 7:23 | but I se another lawe in my membres, which stryueth agaynst ye lawe of my mynde, and taketh me presoner in ye lawe of synne, which is in my membres. |
| 7:24 | O wretched man that I am, who shal delyuer me from the body of this death? |
| 7:25 | I thanke God thorow Iesus Christ oure LORDE. So then wt the mynde I serue ye lawe of God, but with the flesh the lawe of synne. |
