* Know ye not (5719 ), brethren , (for I speak (5719 ) to them that know (5723 ) the law ,) how that the law hath dominion over (5719 ) a man as long as he liveth (5719 )? * For the woman which hath an husband is bound (5769 ) by the law to her husband so long as he liveth (5723 ); but if the husband be dead (5632 ), she is loosed (5769 ) from the law of her husband . * So then if , while her husband liveth (5723 ), she be married (5638 ) to another man , she shall be called (5692 ) an adulteress : but if her husband be dead (5632 ), she is (5748 ) free from that law ; so that she is (5750 ) no adulteress , though she be married (5637 ) to another man . * Wherefore , my brethren , ye also are become dead (5681 ) to the law by the body of Christ ; that ye should be married (5635 ) to another , even to him who is raised (5685 ) from the dead , that we should bring forth fruit (5661 ) unto God . * For when we were (5713 ) in the flesh , the motions of sins , which were by the law , did work (5710 ) in our members to bring forth fruit (5658 ) unto death . * But now we are delivered (5681 ) from the law , that being dead (5631 ) (5625 ) (5631 ) wherein we were held (5712 ); that we should serve (5721 ) in newness of spirit , and not in the oldness of the letter . * What shall we say (5692 ) then ? Is the law sin ? God forbid (5636 ). Nay , I had not known (5627 ) sin , but by the law : for I had not known (5715 ) lust , except the law had said (5707 ), Thou shalt not covet (5692 ). * But sin , taking (5631 ) occasion by the commandment , wrought (5662 ) in me all manner of concupiscence . For without the law sin was dead . * For I was alive (5707 ) without the law once : but when the commandment came (5631 ), sin revived (5656 ), and I died (5627 ). * And the commandment , which was ordained to life , I found (5681 ) to be unto death . * For sin , taking (5631 ) occasion by the commandment , deceived (5656 ) me , and by it slew (5656 ) me . * Wherefore the law is holy , and the commandment holy , and just , and good . * Was then that which is good made (5754 ) death unto me ? God forbid (5636 ). But sin , that it might appear (5652 ) sin , working (5740 ) death in me by that which is good ; that sin by the commandment might become (5638 ) exceeding sinful . * For we know (5758 ) that the law is (5748 ) spiritual : but I am (5748 ) carnal , sold (5772 ) under sin . * For that which I do (5736 ) I allow (5719 ) not : for what I would (5719 ), that do I (5719 ) not ; but what I hate (5719 ), that do I (5719 ). * If then I do (5719 ) that which I would (5719 ) not , I consent (5748 ) unto the law that it is good . * Now then it is no more I that do (5736 ) it , but sin that dwelleth (5723 ) in me . * For I know (5758 ) that in me (that is (5748 ), in my flesh ,) dwelleth (5719 ) no good thing : for to will (5721 ) is present (5736 ) with me ; but how to perform (5738 ) that which is good I find (5719 ) not . * For the good that I would (5719 ) I do (5719 ) not : but the evil which I would (5719 ) not , that I do (5719 ). * Now if I do (5719 ) that I would (5719 ) not , it is no more I that do (5736 ) it , but sin that dwelleth (5723 ) in me . * I find (5719 ) then a law , that , when I would (5723 ) do (5721 ) good , evil is present (5736 ) with me . * For I delight (5736 ) in the law of God after the inward man : * But I see (5719 ) another law in my members , warring against (5740 ) the law of my mind , and bringing me into captivity (5723 ) to the law of sin which is (5752 ) in my members . * O wretched man that I am ! who shall deliver (5695 ) me from the body of this death ? * I thank (5719 ) God through Jess Christ our Lord . So then with the mind I myself serve (5719 ) the law of God ; but with the flesh the law of sin .
