Romans:7:7 @
What shall we say then ?
Is the law sin ?
God forbid .
Howbeit ,
I had not known sin ,
except through the law :
for I had not known coveting ,
except the law had said ,
Thou shalt not covet :
asv @
Romans:7:8 @
but sin ,
finding occasion ,
wrought in me through the commandment all manner of coveting :
for apart from the law sin is dead .
asv @
Romans:7:9 @
And I was alive apart from the law once :
but when the commandment came ,
sin revived ,
and I died ;
asv @
Romans:7:10 @
and the commandment ,
which was unto life ,
this I found to be unto death :
asv @
Romans:7:11 @
for sin ,
finding occasion ,
through the commandment beguiled me ,
and through it slew me .
asv @
Romans:7:12 @
So that the law is holy ,
and the commandment holy ,
and righteous ,
and good .
asv @
Romans:7:13 @
Did then that which is good become death unto me ?
God forbid .
But sin ,
that it might be shown to be sin ,
by working death to me through that which is good ; --
that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful .
asv @
Romans:7:14 @
For we know that the law is spiritual :
but I am carnal ,
sold under sin .
asv @
Romans:7:15 @
For that which I do I know not :
for not what I would ,
that do I practise ;
but what I hate ,
that I do .
asv @
Romans:7:16 @
But if what I would not ,
that I do ,
I consent unto the law that it is good .
asv @
Romans:7:17 @
So now it is no more I that do it ,
but sin which dwelleth in me .
asv @
Romans:7:18 @
For I know that in me ,
that is ,
in my flesh ,
dwelleth no good thing :
for to will is present with me ,
but to do that which is good is not .
asv @
Romans:7:19 @
For the good which I would I do not :
but the evil which I would not ,
that I practise .
asv @
Romans:7:20 @
But if what I would not ,
that I do ,
it is no more I that do it ,
but sin which dwelleth in me .
asv @
Romans:7:21 @
I find then the law ,
that ,
to me who would do good ,
evil is present .
asv @
Romans:7:22 @
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man :
asv @
Romans:7:23 @
but I see a different law in my members ,
warring against the law of my mind ,
and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members .
asv @
Romans:7:24 @
Wretched man that I am !
who shall deliver me out of the body of this death ?
asv @
Romans:7:25 @
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord .
So then I of myself with the mind ,
indeed ,
serve the law of God ;
but with the flesh the law of sin .
