7:1 2228 Know ye not 50 5719, brethren 80, (for 1063 I speak 2980 5719 to them that know 1097 5723 the law 3551,) how that 3754 the law 3551 hath dominion over 2961 5719 a man 444 as long as 1909 3745 5550 he liveth 2198 5719?

7:2 For 1063 the woman 1135 which hath an husband 5220 is bound 1210 5769 by the law 3551 to [her] husband 435 so long as he liveth 2198 5723; but 1161 if 1437 the husband 435 be dead 599 5632, she is loosed 2673 5769 from 575 the law 3551 of [her] husband 435.

7:3 So then 686 3767 if 1437, while [her] husband 435 liveth 2198 5723, she be married 1096 5638 to another 2087 man 435, she shall be called 5537 5692 an adulteress 3428: but 1161 if 1437 her husband 435 be dead 599 5632, she is 2076 5748 free 1658 from 575 that law 3551; so that she 846 is 1511 5750 no 3361 adulteress 3428, though she be married 1096 5637 to another 2087 man 435.

7:4 Wherefore 5620, my 3450 brethren 80, ye 5210 also 2532 are become dead 2289 5681 to the law 3551 by 1223 the body 4983 of Christ 5547; that 1519 ye 5209 should be married 1096 5635 to another 2087, [even] to him who is raised 1453 5685 from 1537 the dead 3498, that 2443 we should bring forth fruit 2592 5661 unto God 2316.

7:5 For 1063 when 3753 we were 2258 5713 in 1722 the flesh 4561, the motions 3804 of sins 266, which 3588 were by 1223 the law 3551, did work 1754 5710 in 1722 our 2257 members 3196 to bring 1519 forth fruit 2592 5658 unto death 2288.(motions: Gr. passions)

7:6 But 1161 now 3570 we are delivered 2673 5681 from 575 the law 3551, that being dead 599 5631 5625 599 5631 wherein 1722 3739 we were held 2722 5712; that 5620 we 2248 should serve 1398 5721 in 1722 newness 2538 of spirit 4151, and 2532 not 3756 [in] the oldness 3821 of the letter 1121.(that being…: or, being dead to that)

7:7 What 5101 shall we say 2046 5692 then 3767? [Is] the law 3551 sin 266? God forbid 3361 1096 5636. Nay 235, I had 1097 0 not 3756 known 1097 5627 sin 266, but 1508 by 1223 the law 3551: for 1063 5037 I had 1492 0 not 3756 known 1492 5715 lust 1939, except 1508 the law 3551 had said 3004 5707, Thou shalt 1937 0 not 3756 covet 1937 5692.(lust: or, concupiscence)

7:8 But 1161 sin 266, taking 2983 5631 occasion 874 by 1223 the commandment 1785, wrought 2716 5662 in 1722 me 1698 all manner of 3956 concupiscence 1939. For 1063 without 5565 the law 3551 sin 266 [was] dead 3498.

7:9 For 1161 I 1473 was alive 2198 5707 without 5565 the law 3551 once 4218: but 1161 when the commandment 1785 came 2064 5631, sin 266 revived 326 5656, and 1161 I 1473 died 599 5627.

7:10 And 2532 the commandment 1785, which 3588 [was ordained] to 1519 life 2222, I 3427 found 2147 5681 3778 [to be] unto 1519 death 2288.

7:11 For 1063 sin 266, taking 2983 5631 occasion 874 by 1223 the commandment 1785, deceived 1818 5656 me 3165, and 2532 by 1223 it 846 slew 615 5656 [me].

7:12 Wherefore 5620 3303 the law 3551 [is] holy 40, and 2532 the commandment 1785 holy 40, and 2532 just 1342, and 2532 good 18.

7:13 Was then 3767 that which is good 18 made 1096 5754 death 2288 unto me 1698? God forbid 3361 1096 5636. But 235 sin 266, that 2443 it might appear 5316 5652 sin 266, working 2716 5740 death 2288 in me 3427 by 1223 that which is good 18; that 2443 sin 266 by 1223 the commandment 1785 might become 1096 5638 exceeding 2596 5236 sinful 268.

7:14 For 1063 we know 1492 5758 that 3754 the law 3551 is 2076 5748 spiritual 4152: but 1161 I 1473 am 1510 5748 carnal 4559, sold 4097 5772 under 5259 sin 266.

7:15 For 1063 that which 3739 I do 2716 5736 I allow 1097 5719 not 3756: for 1063 what 3739 I would 2309 5719, that 5124 do I 4238 5719 not 3756; but 235 what 3739 I hate 3404 5719, that 5124 do I 4160 5719.(allow: Gr. know)

7:16 If 1487 then 1161 I do 4160 5719 that 5124 which 3739 I would 2309 5719 not 3756, I consent 4852 5748 unto the law 3551 that 3754 [it is] good 2570.

7:17 Now 3570 then 1161 it is no more 3765 I 1473 that do 2716 5736 it 846, but 235 sin 266 that dwelleth 3611 5723 in 1722 me 1698.

7:18 For 1063 I know 1492 5758 that 3754 in 1722 me 1698 (that is 5123 5748, in 1722 my 3450 flesh 4561,) dwelleth 3611 5719 no 3756 good thing 18: for 1063 to will 2309 5721 is present 3873 5736 with me 3427; but 1161 [how] to perform 2716 5738 that which is good 2570 I find 2147 5719 not 3756.

7:19 For 1063 3739 the good 18 that I would 2309 5719 I do 4160 5719 not 3756: but 235 the evil 2556 which 3739 I would 2309 5719 not 3756, that 5124 I do 4238 5719.

7:20 Now 1161 if 1487 3739 I do 4160 5719 that 5124 I 1473 would 2309 5719 not 3756, it is no more 2089 3765 I 1473 that do 2716 5736 it 846, but 235 sin 266 that dwelleth 3611 5723 in 1722 me 1698.

7:21 I find 2147 5719 then 686 a law 3551, that 3754, when I 1698 would 2309 5723 do 4160 5721 good 2570, evil 2556 is present 3873 5736 with me 1698.

7:22 For 1063 I delight 4913 5736 in the law 3551 of God 2316 after 2596 the inward 2080 man 444:

7:23 But 1161 I see 991 5719 another 2087 law 3551 in 1722 my 3450 members 3196, warring against 497 5740 the law 3551 of my 3450 mind 3563, and 2532 bringing 163 0 me 3165 into captivity 163 5723 to the law 3551 of sin 266 which 3588 is 5607 5752 in 1722 my 3450 members 3196.

7:24 O wretched 5005 man 444 that I am 1473! who 5101 shall deliver 4506 5695 me 3165 from 1537 the body 4983 of this 5127 death 2288?(the body…: or, this body of death)

7:25 I thank 2168 5719 God 2316 through 1223 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 our 2257 Lord 2962. So then 686 3767 with the mind 3563 I 1473 myself 846 serve 3303 1398 5719 the law 3551 of God 2316; but 1161 with the flesh 4561 the law 3551 of sin 266.
