1: OrG2228 are you ignorant,G0050 brothers—G0080 to those knowingG1097 forG1063 lawG3551 I speak—G2980 thatG3754 theG3588 lawG3551 rules overG2961 theG3588 manG0444 forG1909 as long asG3745 [the] timeG5550 he is alive?G2198

2: TheG3588 forG1063 marriedG5220 woman,G1135 to theG3588 livingG2198 husbandG0435 is boundG1210 by law;G3551 ifG1437 howeverG1161 should dieG0599 theG3588 husband,G0435 she is clearedG2673 fromG0575 theG3588 lawG3551 of theG3588 husband.G0435

3: ThenG0686 therefore,G3767 being aliveG2198 theG3588 husband,G0435 an adulteressG3428 she will be calledG5537 ifG1437 she isG1096 to manG0435 another;G2087 ifG1437 howeverG1161 should dieG0599 theG3588 husband,G0435 freeG1658 she isG1510 fromG0575 theG3588 law,G3551 [so as for]G3588 notG3361 to beG1510 herG0846 an adulteress,G3428 having beenG1096 to manG0435 another.G2087

4: Likewise,G5620 brothersG0080 of me,G1473 alsoG2532 youG4771 have been put to deathG2289 to theG3588 lawG3551 throughG1223 theG3588 bodyG4983 -G3588 of Christ,G5547 forG1519 -G3588 to belongG1096 youG4771 to another,G2087 to the [One]G3588 out fromG1537 [the] deadG3498 having been raised,G1453 so thatG2443 we should bear fruitG2592 -G3588 to God.G2316

5: WhileG3753 forG1063 we wereG1510 inG1722 theG3588 flesh,G4561 theG3588 passionsG3804 -G3588 of sinsG0266 that [were]G3588 throughG1223 theG3588 lawG3551 were at workG1754 inG1722 theG3588 membersG3196 of us,G1473 toG1519 theG3588 bringing forth of fruitG2592 -G3588 to death.G2288

6: NowG3570 howeverG1161 we have been releasedG2673 fromG0575 theG3588 law,G3551 having diedG0599 toG1722 that whichG3739 we were bound,G2722 in order forG5620 to serveG1398 usG1473 inG1722 newnessG2538 of [the] Spirit,G4151 andG2532 notG3756 in oldnessG3821 of [the] letter.G1121

7: WhatG5101 thenG3767 shall we say?G2046 [Is] theG3588 lawG3551 sin?G0266 NeverG3361 may it be!G1096 ButG0235 -G3588 sinG0266 notG3756 I have known,G1097 ifG1487 notG3361 byG1223 law;G3551 -G3588 thenG5037 forG1063 covetousness,G1939 notG3756 I had been conscious of,G1492 ifG1487 notG3361 theG3588 lawG3551 had said,G2036 NotG3756 you shall covet.G1937

8: An occasionG0874 howeverG1161 having takenG2983 -G3588 sinG0266 byG1223 theG3588 commandment,G1785 it producedG2716 inG1722 meG1473 allG3956 covetousness;G1939 apart fromG5565 forG1063 [the] Law,G3551 sinG0266 [is] dead.G3498

9: IG1473 howeverG1161 was aliveG2198 apart fromG5565 lawG3551 once;G4218 having comeG2064 howeverG1161 theG3588 commandment,G1785 theG3588 sinG0266 revived;G0326 IG1473 thenG1161 died.G0599

10: AndG2532 proved to beG2147 meG1473 theG3588 commandmentG1785 that [was]G3588 toG1519 life,G2222 thisG3778 toG1519 death.G2288

11: TheG3588 forG1063 sin,G0266 an occasionG0874 having takenG2983 byG1223 theG3588 commandment,G1785 deceivedG1818 me,G1473 andG2532 byG1223 itG0846 put [me] to death.G0615

12: SoG5620 -G3588 indeedG3303 the law [is]G3551 holy,G0040 andG2532 theG3588 commandment [is]G1785 holyG0040 andG2532 righteousG1342 andG2532 good.G0018

13: That whichG3588 thenG3767 [is] good,G0018 to meG1473 has becomeG1096 death?G2288 NeverG3361 may it be!G1096 ButG0235 -G3588 sin,G0266 in order thatG2443 it might be shown to beG5316 sin,G0266 throughG1223 that which [is]G3588 goodG0018 to meG1473 is working outG2716 death;G2288 so thatG2443 might becomeG1096 beyondG2596 excessG5236 sinful,G0268 -G3588 sinG0266 throughG1223 theG3588 commandment.G1785

14: We knowG1492 forG1063 thatG3754 -G3588 [the] LawG3551 spiritualG4152 is;G1510 IG1473 howeverG1161 fleshlyG4560 am,G1510 having been soldG4097 underG5259 -G3588 sin.G0266

15: WhatG3739 forG1063 I do,G2716 notG3756 I understand;G1097 notG3756 forG1063 whatG3739 I want,G2309 thisG3778 I do;G4238 butG0235 whatG3739 I hate,G3404 thisG3778 I do.G4160

16: IfG1487 nowG1161 that whichG3739 notG3756 I do want,G2309 thisG3778 I do,G4160 I consentG4852 to theG3588 law,G3551 that [it is]G3754 good.G2570

17: In that caseG3570 now,G1161 no longerG3765 IG1473 am doingG2716 it,G0846 butG0235 theG3588 dwellingG3611 inG1722 meG1473 sin.G0266

18: I knowG1492 forG1063 thatG3754 nothingG3756 there dwellsG3611 inG1722 me,G1473 thatG3778 isG1510 inG1722 theG3588 fleshG4561 of me,G1473 good;G0018 -G3588 forG1063 to willG2309 is present withG3873 me,G1473 -G3588 butG1161 to doG2716 theG3588 good,G2570 not.G3756

19: NotG3756 forG1063 thatG3739 I desireG2309 I doG4160 good,G0018 butG0235 thatG3739 notG3756 I do wantG2309 evil,G2556 thisG3778 I practice.G4238

20: IfG1487 nowG1161 whatG3739 notG3756 I do want,G2309 IG1473 thisG3778 do,G4160 [it is] no longerG3765 IG1473 who doG2716 it,G0846 butG0235 -G3588 dwellingG3611 inG1722 meG1473 sin.G0266

21: I findG2147 soG0686 theG3588 principle,G3551 thatG3588 desiringG2309 meG1473 to doG4160 -G3588 good,G2570 thatG3754 meG1473 -G3588 evilG2556 is present with.G3873

22: I delightG4913 forG1063 in theG3588 lawG3551 -G3588 of God,G2316 according toG2596 theG3588 inwardG2080 man;G0444

23: I seeG0991 howeverG1161 anotherG2087 lawG3551 inG1722 theG3588 membersG3196 of me,G1473 warring againstG0497 theG3588 lawG3551 of theG3588 mindG3563 of me,G1473 andG2532 making captiveG0163 meG1473 toG1722 theG3588 lawG3551 -G3588 of sin,G0266 -G3588 beingG1510 inG1722 theG3588 membersG3196 of me.G1473

24: O wretchedG5005 I amG1473 man!G0444 WhoG5101 meG1473 will deliverG4506 out ofG1537 theG3588 bodyG4983 -G3588 of deathG2288 this?G3778

25: Thanks [be]G5485 thenG1161 toG3588 God,G2316 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 theG3588 LordG2962 of us!G1473 ThenG0686 so,G3767 myselfG0846 IG1473 with theG3588 indeedG3303 mindG3563 serveG1398 lawG3551 God’s,G2316 -G3588 but [with]G1161 the fleshG4561 [the] lawG3551 of sin.G0266
