1. Or are ye ignorant, brethren (for I speak to men that know the law), how that the law hath dominion over a man for so long time as he liveth?
|
1. G2228 Know ye not G50 , brethren G80 , ( for G1063 I speak G2980 to them that know G1097 the law G3551 ,) how that G3754 the G3588 law G3551 hath dominion over G2961 a man G444 G1909 as long as G3745 G5550 he liveth G2198 ?
|
|
2. For the woman that hath a husband is bound by law to the husband while he liveth; but if the husband die, she is discharged from the law of the husband.
|
2. For G1063 the G3588 woman G1135 which hath an husband G5220 is bound G1210 by the law G3551 to her husband G435 so long as he liveth G2198 ; but G1161 if G1437 the G3588 husband G435 be dead G599 , she is loosed G2673 from G575 the G3588 law G3551 of her husband G435 .
|
|
3. So then if, while the husband liveth, she be joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if the husband die, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she be joined to another man.
|
3. So G686 then G3767 if G1437 , while her husband G435 liveth G2198 , she be married G1096 to another G2087 man G435 , she shall be called G5537 an adulteress G3428 : but G1161 if G1437 her husband G435 be dead G599 , she is G2076 free G1658 from G575 that law G3551 ; so that she G846 is G1511 no G3361 adulteress G3428 , though she be married G1096 to another G2087 man G435 .
|
|
4. Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye should be joined to another, {cf15i even} to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit unto God.
|
4. Wherefore G5620 , my G3450 brethren G80 , ye G5210 also G2532 are become dead G2289 to the G3588 law G3551 by G1223 the G3588 body G4983 of Christ G5547 ; that ye G5209 should be married G1096 to another G2087 , even to him who is raised G1453 from G1537 the dead G3498 , that G2443 we should bring forth fruit G2592 unto God G2316 .
|
|
5. For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were through the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
|
5. For G1063 when G3753 we were G2258 in G1722 the G3588 flesh G4561 , the G3588 motions G3804 of sins G266 , which G3588 were by G1223 the G3588 law G3551 , did work G1754 in G1722 our G2257 members G3196 to bring forth fruit G2592 unto death G2288 .
|
|
6. But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that wherein we were holden; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
|
6. But G1161 now G3570 we are delivered G2673 from G575 the G3588 law G3551 , that being dead G599 wherein G1722 G3739 we were held G2722 ; that G5620 we G2248 should serve G1398 in G1722 newness G2538 of spirit G4151 , and G2532 not G3756 in the oldness G3821 of the letter G1121 .
|
|
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:
|
7. What G5101 shall we say G2046 then G3767 ? Is the G3588 law G3551 sin G266 ? God forbid G1096 G3361 . Nay G235 , I had not G3756 known G1097 sin G266 , but G1508 by G1223 the law G3551 : for G1063 I had G5037 not G3756 known G1492 lust G1939 , except G1508 the G3588 law G3551 had said G3004 , Thou shalt not G3756 covet G1937 .
|
|
8. but sin, finding occasion, wrought in me through the commandment all manner of coveting: for apart from the law sin {cf15i is} dead.
|
8. But G1161 sin G266 , taking G2983 occasion G874 by G1223 the G3588 commandment G1785 , wrought G2716 in G1722 me G1698 all manner G3956 of concupiscence G1939 . For G1063 without G5565 the law G3551 sin G266 was dead G3498 .
|
|
9. And I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died;
|
9. For G1161 I G1473 was alive G2198 without G5565 the law G3551 once G4218 : but G1161 when the G3588 commandment G1785 came G2064 , sin G266 revived G326 , and G1161 I G1473 died G599 .
|
|
10. and the commandment, which {cf15i was} unto life, this I found {cf15i to be} unto death:
|
10. And G2532 the G3588 commandment G1785 , which G3588 was ordained to G1519 life G2222 , I G3427 found G2147 to be G3778 unto G1519 death G2288 .
|
|
11. for sin, finding occasion, through the commandment beguiled me, and through it slew me.
|
11. For G1063 sin G266 , taking G2983 occasion G874 by G1223 the G3588 commandment G1785 , deceived G1818 me G3165 , and G2532 by G1223 it G846 slew G615 me.
|
|
12. So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
|
12. Wherefore G5620 the G3588 law G3551 is holy G40 , and G2532 the G3588 commandment G1785 holy G40 , and G2532 just G1342 , and G2532 good G18 .
|
|
13. Did then that which is good become death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might be shewn to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; ��that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.
|
13. Was then G3767 that which is good G18 made G1096 death G2288 unto me G1698 ? God forbid G1096 G3361 . But G235 sin G266 , that G2443 it might appear G5316 sin G266 , working G2716 death G2288 in me G3427 by G1223 that which is good G18 ; that G2443 sin G266 by G1223 the G3588 commandment G1785 might become G1096 exceeding G2596 G5236 sinful G268 .
|
|
14. For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
|
14. For G1063 we know G1492 that G3754 the G3588 law G3551 is G2076 spiritual G4152 : but G1161 I G1473 am G1510 carnal G4559 , sold G4097 under G5259 sin G266 .
|
|
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.
|
15. For G1063 that which G3739 I do G2716 I allow G1097 not G3756 : for G1063 what G3739 I would G2309 , that G5124 do G4238 I not G3756 ; but G235 what G3739 I hate G3404 , that G5124 do G4160 I.
|
|
16. But if what I would not, that I do, I consent unto the law that it is good.
|
16. If G1487 then G1161 I do G4160 that G5124 which G3739 I would G2309 not G3756 , I consent G4852 unto the G3588 law G3551 that G3754 it is good G2570 .
|
|
17. So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me.
|
17. Now G3570 then G1161 it is no more G3765 I G1473 that do G2716 it G846 , but G235 sin G266 that dwelleth G3611 in G1722 me G1698 .
|
|
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 {cf15i is} not.
|
18. For G1063 I know G1492 that G3754 in G1722 me G1698 (that is G5123 , in G1722 my G3450 flesh G4561 ,) dwelleth G3611 no G3756 good thing G18 : for G1063 to will G2309 is present G3873 with me G3427 ; but G1161 how to perform G2716 that which is good G2570 I find G2147 not G3756 .
|
|
19. For the good which I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I practise.
|
19. For G1063 the good G18 that G3739 I would G2309 I do G4160 not G3756 : but G235 the evil G2556 which G3739 I would G2309 not G3756 , that G5124 I do G4238 .
|
|
20. But if what I would not, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me.
|
20. Now G1161 if G1487 I G1473 do G4160 that G5124 I G3739 would G2309 not G3756 , it is no more G3765 I G1473 that do G2716 it G846 , but G235 sin G266 that dwelleth G3611 in G1722 me G1698 .
|
|
21. I find then the law, that, to me who would do good, evil is present.
|
21. I find G2147 then G686 a law G3551 , that , when I G1698 would G2309 do G4160 good G2570 G3754 , evil G2556 is present G3873 with me G1698 .
|
|
22. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
|
22. For G1063 I delight G4913 in the G3588 law G3551 of God G2316 after G2596 the G3588 inward G2080 man G444 :
|
|
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.
|
23. But G1161 I see G991 another G2087 law G3551 in G1722 my G3450 members G3196 , warring against G497 the G3588 law G3551 of my G3450 mind G3563 , and G2532 bringing me into captivity G163 G3165 to the G3588 law G3551 of sin G266 which is G5607 in G1722 my G3450 members G3196 .
|
|
24. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?
|
24. O wretched G5005 man G444 that I G1473 am! who G5101 shall deliver G4506 me G3165 from G1537 the G3588 body G4983 of this G5127 death G2288 ?
|
|
25. I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself with the mind serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
|
25. I thank G2168 God G2316 through G1223 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 our G2257 Lord G2962 . So G686 then G3767 with the G3588 mind G3563 I G1473 myself G848 G3303 serve G1398 the law G3551 of God G2316 ; but G1161 with the G3588 flesh G4561 the law G3551 of sin G266 .
