ASV_Strong : Romans 7
1. Or are ye ignorant[G50], brethren[G80] (for[G1063] I speak[G2980] to men who know[G1097] the law[G3551]), that[G3754] the law[G3551] hath dominion over[G2961] a man[G444] for[G1909] so[G3745] long[G5550] time as[G3745] he liveth[G2198]?
2. For[G1063] the woman[G1135] that hath a husband[G5220] is bound[G1210] by law[G3551] to[G435] the husband[G435] while he liveth[G2198]; but[G1161] if[G1437] the husband[G435] die[G599], she is discharged[G2673] from[G575] the law[G3551] of[G435] the husband[G435].
3. So[G686] then[G3767] if[G1437], while[G2198] the husband[G435] liveth[G2198], she be joined[G1096] to[G435] another[G2087] man[G435], she shall be called[G5537] an adulteress[G3428]: but[G1161] if[G1437] the husband[G435] die[G599], she is[G2076] free[G1658] from[G575] the law[G3551], so that[G3588] she[G846] is[G1511] no[G3361] adulteress[G3428], though she be joined[G1096] to[G435] another[G2087] man[G435].
4. Wherefore[G5620], my[G3450] brethren[G80], ye[G5210] also[G2532] were made dead[G2289] to the law[G3551] through[G1223] the body[G4983] of Christ[G5547]; that[G1519] ye[G5209] should be joined[G1096] to another[G2087], even to him who was raised[G1453] from[G1537] the dead[G3498], that[G2443] we might bring forth fruit[G2592] unto God[G2316].
5. For[G1063] when[G3753] we were[G1510] in[G1722] the flesh[G4561], the sinful[G266] passions[G3804], which were[G3588] through[G1223] the law[G3551], wrought[G1754] in[G1722] our[G2257] members[G3196] to[G1519] bring forth fruit[G2592] unto death[G2288].
6. But[G1161] now[G3570] we have been discharged[G2673] from[G575] the law[G3551], having died[G599] to that wherein[G1722, 3739] we were held[G2722]; so that[G5620] we[G2248] serve[G1398] in[G1722] newness[G2538] of the spirit[G4151], and[G2532] not[G3756] in oldness[G3821] of the letter[G1121].
7. What[G5101] shall we say[G2046] then[G3767]? Is the law[G3551] sin[G3361]? God forbid[G1096]. Howbeit[G235], I had[G1097] not[G3756] known[G1097] sin[G1487], except[G3361] through[G1223] the law[G3551]: for[G1063] I had[G1492] not[G3756] known[G1492] coveting[G1487], except[G3361] the law[G3551] had said[G3004], Thou shalt[G1937] not[G3756] covet[G1937]:
8. but[G1161] sin[G266], finding[G2983] occasion[G874], wrought[G2716] in[G1722] me[G1698] through[G1223] the commandment[G1785] all manner of[G3956] coveting[G1939]: for[G1063] apart[G5565] from the law[G3551] sin[G266] is dead[G3498].
9. And[G1161] I[G1473] was alive[G2198] apart[G5565] from the law[G3551] once[G4218]: but[G1161] when[G2064] the commandment[G1785] came[G2064], sin[G266] revived[G326], and[G1161] I[G1473] died[G599];
10. and[G2532] the commandment[G1785], which[G3588] was unto[G1519] life[G2222], this I[G3427] found[G2147] to be unto[G1519] death[G2288]:
11. for[G1063] sin[G266], finding[G2983] occasion[G874], through[G1223] the commandment[G1785] beguiled[G1818] me[G3165], and[G2532] through[G1223] it[G846] slew me[G615].
12. So[G5620] that the law[G3551] is holy[G40], and[G2532] the commandment[G1785] holy[G40], and[G2532] righteous[G1342], and[G2532] good[G18].
13. Did[G1096] then[G3767] that which is good[G18] become[G1096] death[G2288] unto me[G3361]? God forbid[G1096]. But[G235] sin[G266], that[G2443] it might be shown[G5316] to be sin[G266], by working[G2716] death[G2288] to me[G3427] through[G1223] that which is good[G18]; — that[G2443] through[G1223] the commandment[G1785] sin[G266] might become[G1096, 2596] exceeding[G5236] sinful[G268].
14. For[G1063] we know[G1492] that[G3754] the law[G3551] is[G2076] spiritual[G4152]: but[G1161] I[G1473] am[G1510] carnal[G4559], sold[G4097] under[G5259] sin[G266].
15. For[G1063] that which[G3739] I do[G2716] I know[G1097] not[G3756]: for[G1063] not what[G3739] I would[G2309], that[G5124] do I[G4238] practise[G3756]; but[G235] what[G3739] I hate[G3404], that[G5124] I do[G4160].
16. But if[G1487] what[G1161] I would[G2309] not[G3756], that[G5124] I[G5124] do[G4160], I consent unto[G4852] the law[G3551] that[G3754] it is good[G2570].
17. So[G1161] now[G3570] it is no more[G3765] I[G1473] that[G3765] do[G2716] it[G846], but[G235] sin[G266] which dwelleth[G3611] in[G1722] me[G1698].
18. For[G1063] I know[G1492] that[G3754] in[G1722] me[G1698], that[G5124] is[G2076], 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] to do[G2716] that which is good[G2570] is[G2147] not[G3756].
19. For[G1063] the good[G18] which[G3739] I would[G2309] I do[G4160] not[G3756]: but[G235] the evil[G2556] which[G3739] I would[G2309] not[G3756], that[G5124] I practise[G4238].
20. But[G1161] if[G1487] what[G5124] I would[G2309] not[G3756], that[G3739] I[G1473] do[G4160], it is no more[G3765] I[G1473] that[G3765] do[G2716] it[G846], but[G235] sin[G266] which dwelleth[G3611] in[G1722] me[G1698].
21. I find[G2147] then[G686] the law[G3551], that[G3754], to[G2309] me[G1698] who[G3754] would[G2309] do[G4160] good[G2570], evil[G2556] is present[G3873].
22. For[G1063] I delight[G4913] in the law[G3551] of God[G2316] after[G2596] the[G444] inward[G2080] man[G444]:
23. but[G1161] I see[G991] a different[G2087] law[G3551] in[G1722] my[G3450] members[G3196], warring against[G497] the law[G3551] of[G3563] my[G3450] mind[G3563], and[G2532] bringing[G163] me[G3165] into captivity[G163] under the law[G3551] of sin[G266] which is[G5607] in[G1722] my[G3450] members[G3196].
24. Wretched[G5005] man[G444] that I am[G1473]! who[G5101] shall deliver[G4506] me[G3165] out of[G1537] the body[G4983] of this[G5127] death[G2288]?
25. I thank[G2168] God[G2316] through[G1223] Jesus[G2424] Christ[G5547] our[G2257] Lord[G2962]. So[G686] then[G3767] I[G1473] of myself[G846] with the mind[G3563], indeed[G1398], serve the law[G3551] of God[G2316]; but[G1161] with the flesh[G4561] the law[G3551] of sin[G266].
