rotherham - Romans:7:7-25

rotherham@Romans:7:7 @ What, then, shall we say? Is the law sin? Far be it! On the contrary, I had not discovered, sin, save through law, for even, of coveting, I had not been aware if, the law, had not kept on saying Thou shall not covet;

rotherham@Romans:7:8 @ Howbeit sin taking, occasionthrough the commandment, wrought out in me all manner of coveting; for, apart from law, sin is dead;

rotherham@Romans:7:9 @ And, I, was alive, apart from law, at one time, but, the commandment coming, sin sprang up to life,

rotherham@Romans:7:10 @ Whereas, I, died, and the commandment which was unto life was found by me to be, itself, unto death;

rotherham@Romans:7:11 @ For, sin, taking occasionthrough the commandment, completely deceived me and, through it, slew me:

rotherham@Romans:7:12 @ So that, the law, indeed, is holy, and the commandment, holy, and righteous and good.

rotherham@Romans:7:13 @ Did, then, that which is good, unto me become death? Far be it! But

rotherham@Romans:7:14 @ For we know that, the law, is spiritual, I, however, am a creature of flesh, sold under sin;

rotherham@Romans:7:15 @ For, that which I am working out, I do not approve, for not, what I wish, the same I practise, but, what I hate, the same I do:

rotherham@Romans:7:16 @ Now, if what I wish not the same I do, I consent unto the law that right.

rotherham@Romans:7:17 @ Now, however, no longer am, I, working it out, but the, sin, that dwelleth in me:

rotherham@Romans:7:18 @ I know, in fact, that there dwelleth not in me, that is, in my flesh, anything good; for, the wishing, lieth near me, but, the working out of what is right, not!

rotherham@Romans:7:19 @ For not, the good that I wish, I do, but, the evil that I do not wish, the same I practise.

rotherham@Romans:7:20 @ Now, if what I wish not, the same, I do, no longer am, I, working it out, but the, sin, that dwelleth in me.

rotherham@Romans:7:21 @ Hence, I find the law, to me who wish to be doing the right, that, unto me, the wrong lieth near:

rotherham@Romans:7:22 @ I have, in fact, a sympathetic pleasure in the law of God; according to the inner man.

rotherham@Romans:7:23 @ But I behold a diverse law in my members, warring against the law of my mind and taking me captive in the law of sin which existeth in my members:

rotherham@Romans:7:24 @ Wretched, man am, I! Who shall rescue me out of this body doomed to death?

rotherham@Romans:7:25 @ But thanks be unto God!Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Hence, then, I myself, with the mind, indeed, am in servitude unto a law of God; but; with the flesh; unto a law of sin.
