Book 45 : ROMANS - Chapter 007
007:001
For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her
husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she
is loosed from the law of her husband
007:002
So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to
another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her
husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no
adulteress, though she be married to another man
007:003
Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by
the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even
to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth
fruit unto God
007:004
For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were
by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto
death
007:005
But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein
we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and
not in the oldness of the letter
007:006
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had
not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust,
except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet
007:007
But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all
manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead
007:008
For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment
came, sin revived, and I died
007:009
And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be
unto death
007:010
For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and
by it slew me
007:011
Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just,
and good
007:012
Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid.
But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that
which is good; that sin by the commandment might become
exceeding sinful
007:013
For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold
under sin
007:014
For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I
not; but what I hate, that do I
007:015
If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law
that it is good
007:016
Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in
me
007:017
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good
thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that
which is good I find not
007:018
For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would
not, that I do
007:019
Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but
sin that dwelleth in me
007:020
I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present
with me
007:021
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man
007:022
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law
of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin
which is in my members
007:023
O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body
of this death
007:024
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the
mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law
of sin
