12228 Know ye not50, brethren80, (for1063 I speak2980 to them that know1097 the law3551,) how that3754 the law3551 hath dominion over2961 a man444 as long as1909 3745 5550 he liveth2198?
2For1063 the woman1135 which hath an husband5220 is bound1210 by the law3551 to her husband435 so long as he liveth2198; but1161 if1437 the husband435 be dead599, she is loosed2673 from575 the law3551 of her husband435.
3So then686 3767 if1437, while her husband435 liveth2198, she be married1096 to another2087 man435, she shall be called5537 an adulteress3428: but1161 if1437 her husband435 be dead599, she is2076 free1658 from575 that law3551; so that she846 is1511 no3361 adulteress3428, though she be married1096 to another2087 man435.
4Wherefore5620, my3450 brethren80, ye5210 also2532 are become dead2289 to the law3551 by1223 the body4983 of Christ5547; that1519 ye5209 should be married1096 to another2087, even to him who is raised1453 from1537 the dead3498, that2443 we should bring forth fruit2592 unto God2316.
5For1063 when3753 we were2258 in1722 the flesh4561, the motions3804 of sins266, which3588 were by1223 the law3551, did work1754 in1722 our2257 members3196 to bring1519 forth fruit2592 unto death2288.
6But1161 now3570 we are delivered2673 from575 the law3551, that being dead599 599 wherein1722 3739 we were held2722; that5620 we2248 should serve1398 in1722 newness2538 of spirit4151, and2532 not3756 in the oldness3821 of the letter1121.
7What5101 shall we say2046 then3767? Is the law3551 sin266? God forbid3361 1096. Nay235, I had1097 not3756 known1097 sin266, but1508 by1223 the law3551: for1063 5037 I had1492 not3756 known1492 lust1939, except1508 the law3551 had said3004, Thou shalt1937 not3756 covet1937.
8But1161 sin266, taking2983 occasion874 by1223 the commandment1785, wrought2716 in1722 me1698 all manner of3956 concupiscence1939. For1063 without5565 the law3551 sin266 was dead3498.
9For1161 I1473 was alive2198 without5565 the law3551 once4218: but1161 when the commandment1785 came2064, sin266 revived326, and1161 I1473 died599.
10And2532 the commandment1785, which3588 was ordained to1519 life2222, I3427 found2147 3778 to be unto1519 death2288.
11For1063 sin266, taking2983 occasion874 by1223 the commandment1785, deceived1818 me3165, and2532 by1223 it846 slew615 me.
12Wherefore5620 3303 the law3551 is holy40, and2532 the commandment1785 holy40, and2532 just1342, and2532 good18.
13Was then3767 that which is good18 made1096 death2288 unto me1698? God forbid3361 1096. But235 sin266, that2443 it might appear5316 sin266, working2716 death2288 in me3427 by1223 that which is good18; that2443 sin266 by1223 the commandment1785 might become1096 exceeding2596 5236 sinful268.
14For1063 we know1492 that3754 the law3551 is2076 spiritual4152: but1161 I1473 am1510 carnal4559, sold4097 under5259 sin266.
15For1063 that which3739 I do2716 I allow1097 not3756: for1063 what3739 I would2309, that5124 do I4238 not3756; but235 what3739 I hate3404, that5124 do I4160.
16If1487 then1161 I do4160 that5124 which3739 I would2309 not3756, I consent4852 unto the law3551 that3754 it is good2570.
17Now3570 then1161 it is no more3765 I1473 that do2716 it846, but235 sin266 that dwelleth3611 in1722 me1698.
18For1063 I know1492 that3754 in1722 me1698 (that is5123, in1722 my3450 flesh4561,) dwelleth3611 no3756 good thing18: for1063 to will2309 is present3873 with me3427; but1161 how to perform2716 that which is good2570 I find2147 not3756.
19For1063 3739 the good18 that I would2309 I do4160 not3756: but235 the evil2556 which3739 I would2309 not3756, that5124 I do4238.
20Now1161 if1487 3739 I do4160 that5124 I1473 would2309 not3756, it is no more2089 3765 I1473 that do2716 it846, but235 sin266 that dwelleth3611 in1722 me1698.
21I find2147 then686 a law3551, that3754, when I1698 would2309 do4160 good2570, evil2556 is present3873 with me1698.
22For1063 I delight4913 in the law3551 of God2316 after2596 the inward2080 man444:
23But1161 I see991 another2087 law3551 in1722 my3450 members3196, warring against497 the law3551 of my3450 mind3563, and2532 bringing163 me3165 into captivity163 to the law3551 of sin266 which3588 is5607 in1722 my3450 members3196.
24O wretched5005 man444 that I am1473! who5101 shall deliver4506 me3165 from1537 the body4983 of this5127 death2288?
25I thank2168 God2316 through1223 Jesus2424 Christ5547 our2257 Lord2962. So then686 3767 with the mind3563 I1473 myself846 serve3303 1398 the law3551 of God2316; but1161 with the flesh4561 the law3551 of sin266.
