| [1][G2228]Know ye notG50[G5719], brethrenG80, (forG1063 I speakG2980[G5719] to them that knowG1097[G5723] the lawG3551,) how thatG3754 the lawG3551 hath dominion overG2961[G5719] a manG444 as long asG1909[G3745][G5550] he livethG2198?[G5719] |
[1]Or do ye not know, my Brethren.-(for I am speaking to them that know the law,)- that the law hath dominion over a man, as long as he is alive? |
| [2]ForG1063 the womanG1135 which hath an husbandG5220 is boundG1210[G5769] by the lawG3551 to her husbandG435 so long as he livethG2198[G5723]; butG1161 ifG1437 the husbandG435 be deadG599[G5632], she is loosedG2673[G5769] fromG575 the lawG3551 of her husbandG435. |
[2]Just as a woman, by the law, is bound to her husband, as long as he is alive: but if her husband should die, she is freed from the law of her husband. |
| [3]So thenG686[G3767] ifG1437, while her husbandG435 livethG2198[G5723], she be marriedG1096[G5638] to anotherG2087 manG435, she shall be calledG5537[G5692] an adulteressG3428: butG1161 ifG1437 her husbandG435 be deadG599[G5632], she isG2076[G5748] freeG1658 fromG575 that lawG3551; so that sheG846 isG1511[G5750] noG3361 adulteressG3428, though she be marriedG1096[G5637] to anotherG2087 manG435. |
[3]And if, while her husband is alive, she should adhere to another man, she would become an adulteress: but if her husband should die, she is freed from the law; and would not be an adulteress though joined to another man. |
| [4]WhereforeG5620, myG3450 brethrenG80, yeG5210 alsoG2532 are become deadG2289[G5681] to the lawG3551 byG1223 the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547; thatG1519 yeG5209 should be marriedG1096[G5635] to anotherG2087, even to him who is raisedG1453[G5685] fromG1537 the deadG3498, thatG2443 we should bring forth fruitG2592[G5661] unto GodG2316. |
[4]And now, my brethren, ye also have become dead to the law, by the body of Messiah; that ye might be joined to another, [even] to him who arose from the dead; and might yield fruits unto God. |
| [5]ForG1063 whenG3753 we wereG2258[G5713] inG1722 the fleshG4561, the motionsG3804 of sinsG266, whichG3588 were byG1223 the lawG3551, did workG1754[G5710] inG1722 ourG2257 membersG3196 to bringG1519 forth fruitG2592[G5658] unto deathG2288. |
[5]For while we were in the flesh, the emotions of sin which are by the law, were active in our members, that we should bear fruits unto death. |
| [6]ButG1161 nowG3570 we are deliveredG2673[G5681] fromG575 the lawG3551, that being deadG599[G5631][G5625][G599][G5631] whereinG1722[G3739] we were heldG2722[G5712]; thatG5620 weG2248 should serveG1398[G5721] inG1722 newnessG2538 of spiritG4151, andG2532 notG3756 in the oldnessG3821 of the letterG1121. |
[6]But now we are absolved from the law, and are dead to that which held us in its grasp: that we might henceforth serve in the newness of the spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. |
| [7]WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046[G5692] thenG3767? Is the lawG3551 sinG266? God forbidG3361[G1096][G5636]. NayG235, I hadG1097 notG3756 knownG1097[G5627] sinG266, butG1508 byG1223 the lawG3551: forG1063[G5037] I hadG1492 notG3756 knownG1492[G5715] lustG1939, exceptG1508 the lawG3551 had saidG3004[G5707], Thou shaltG1937 notG3756 covetG1937.[G5692] |
[7]What shall we say then? Is the law sin?, Far be it. For I had not learned sin, except by means of the law: for I had not known concupiscence, had not the law said, Thou shalt not covet: |
| [8]ButG1161 sinG266, takingG2983[G5631] occasionG874 byG1223 the commandmentG1785, wroughtG2716[G5662] inG1722 meG1698 all manner ofG3956 concupiscenceG1939. ForG1063 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 sinG266 was deadG3498. |
[8]and by this commandment, sin found occasion, and perfected in me all concupiscence: for without the law, sin was dead. |
| [9]ForG1161 IG1473 was aliveG2198[G5707] withoutG5565 the lawG3551 onceG4218: butG1161 when the commandmentG1785 cameG2064[G5631], sinG266 revivedG326[G5656], andG1161 IG1473 diedG599.[G5627] |
[9]And I, without the law, was alive formerly; but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died; |
| [10]AndG2532 the commandmentG1785, whichG3588 was ordained toG1519 lifeG2222, IG3427 foundG2147[G5681][G3778] to be untoG1519 deathG2288. |
[10]and the commandment of life was found by me [to be] unto death. |
| [11]ForG1063 sinG266, takingG2983[G5631] occasionG874 byG1223 the commandmentG1785, deceivedG1818[G5656] meG3165, andG2532 byG1223 itG846 slewG615 meG5656. |
[11]For sin, by the occasion which it found by means of the commandment, seduced me; and thereby slew me. |
| [12]WhereforeG5620[G3303] the lawG3551 is holyG40, andG2532 the commandmentG1785 holyG40, andG2532 justG1342, andG2532 goodG18. |
[12]Wherefore, the law is holy; and the commandment is holy, and righteous, and good. |
| [13]Was thenG3767 that which is goodG18 madeG1096[G5754] deathG2288 unto meG1698? God forbidG3361[G1096][G5636]. ButG235 sinG266, thatG2443 it might appearG5316[G5652] sinG266, workingG2716[G5740] deathG2288 in meG3427 byG1223 that which is goodG18; thatG2443 sinG266 byG1223 the commandmentG1785 might becomeG1096[G5638] exceedingG2596[G5236] sinfulG268. |
[13]Did that which is good, therefore, become death to me? Far be it. But sin, that it might be seen to be sin, perfected death in me by means of that good [law]; that sin might the more be condemned, by means of the commandment. |
| [14]ForG1063 we knowG1492[G5758] thatG3754 the lawG3551 isG2076[G5748] spiritualG4152: butG1161 IG1473 amG1510[G5748] carnalG4559, soldG4097[G5772] underG5259 sinG266. |
[14]For we know, that the law is spiritual ; but I am carnal, and sold to sin. |
| [15]ForG1063 that whichG3739 I doG2716[G5736] I allowG1097[G5719] notG3756: forG1063 whatG3739 I wouldG2309[G5719], thatG5124 do IG4238[G5719] notG3756; butG235 whatG3739 I hateG3404[G5719], thatG5124 do IG4160.[G5719] |
[15]For what I am doing, I know not: and what I would, I do not perform; but what I hate, that I do. |
| [16]IfG1487 thenG1161 I doG4160[G5719] thatG5124 whichG3739 I wouldG2309[G5719] notG3756, I consentG4852[G5748] unto the lawG3551 thatG3754 it is goodG2570. |
[16]And if I do what I would not, I testify of the law, that it is right. |
| [17]NowG3570 thenG1161 it is no moreG3765 IG1473 that doG2716[G5736] itG846, butG235 sinG266 that dwellethG3611[G5723] inG1722 meG1698. |
[17]And then, it is no more I who do that thing; but sin, which dwelleth in me. |
| [18]ForG1063 I knowG1492[G5758] thatG3754 inG1722 meG1698 (that isG5123[G5748], inG1722 myG3450 fleshG4561,) dwellethG3611[G5719] noG3756 good thingG18: forG1063 to willG2309[G5721] is presentG3873[G5736] with meG3427; butG1161 how to performG2716[G5738] that which is goodG2570 I findG2147[G5719] notG3756. |
[18]For I know, that in me, (that is, in my flesh,) good dwelleth not: because, to approve the good, is easy for me; but to do it, I am unable. |
| [19]ForG1063[G3739] the goodG18 that I wouldG2309[G5719] I doG4160[G5719] notG3756: butG235 the evilG2556 whichG3739 I wouldG2309[G5719] notG3756, thatG5124 I doG4238.[G5719] |
[19]For I do not perform the good, which I would perform; but the bad, which I would not perform, that I do perform. |
| [20]NowG1161 ifG1487[G3739] I doG4160[G5719] thatG5124 IG1473 wouldG2309[G5719] notG3756, it is no moreG2089[G3765] IG1473 that doG2716[G5736] itG846, butG235 sinG266 that dwellethG3611[G5723] inG1722 meG1698. |
[20]And if I do what I would not, it is not I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me. |
| [21]I findG2147[G5719] thenG686 a lawG3551, thatG3754, when IG1698 wouldG2309[G5723] doG4160[G5721] goodG2570, evilG2556 is presentG3873[G5736] with meG1698. |
[21]I find therefore a law coinciding with my conscience, which assenteth to my doing good, whereas evil is near to me. |
| [22]ForG1063 I delightG4913[G5736] in the lawG3551 of GodG2316 afterG2596 the inwardG2080 manG444: |
[22]For I rejoice in the law of God, in the interior man. |
| [23]ButG1161 I seeG991[G5719] anotherG2087 lawG3551 inG1722 myG3450 membersG3196, warring againstG497[G5740] the lawG3551 of myG3450 mindG3563, andG2532 bringingG163 meG3165 into captivityG163[G5723] to the lawG3551 of sinG266 whichG3588 isG5607[G5752] inG1722 myG3450 membersG3196. |
[23]But I see another law in my members, which warreth against the law of my conscience, and maketh me a captive to the law of sin which existeth in my members |
| [24]O wretchedG5005 manG444 that I amG1473! whoG5101 shall deliverG4506[G5695] meG3165 fromG1537 the bodyG4983 of thisG5127 deathG2288? |
[24]O, a miserable man, am I ! Who will rescue me from this body of death? |
| [25]I thankG2168[G5719] GodG2316 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962. So thenG686[G3767] with the mindG3563 IG1473 myselfG846 serveG3303[G1398][G5719] the lawG3551 of GodG2316; butG1161 with the fleshG4561 the lawG3551 of sinG266. |
[25]I thank God; by means of our Lord Jesus Messiah [I shall be rescued.] Now, therefore, in my conscience, I am a servant of the law of God; but in my flesh, I am a servant of the law of sin. |
