Are ye ignorant, brethren, (for I speak to those knowing law,) that law rules over a man as long as he lives?
Are ye ignorant, brethren, (for I speak to those knowing law,) that law rules over a man as long as he lives?
For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.
For the married woman is bound by law to her husband so long as he is alive; but if the husband should die, she is clear from the law of the husband:
So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man.
so then, the husband being alive, she shall be called an adulteress if she be to another man; but if the husband should die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, though she be to another man.
Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another — to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.

But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.
but now we are clear from the law, having died in that in which we were held, so that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.
Sin’s Advantage in the Law
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”

God's Law is Holy
What shall we say then? [is] the law sin? Far be the thought. But I had not known sin, unless by law: for I had not had conscience also of lust unless the law had said, Thou shalt not lust;
What shall we say then? [is] the law sin? Far be the thought. But I had not known sin, unless by law: for I had not had conscience also of lust unless the law had said, Thou shalt not lust;
But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead.
but sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, wrought in me every lust; for without law sin [was] dead.
I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.
But *I* was alive without law once; but the commandment having come, sin revived, but *I* died.
And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death.
And the commandment, which [was] for life, was found, [as] to me, itself [to be] unto death:
For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me.
for sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew [me].
Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.
So that the law indeed [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Law Cannot Save from Sin
Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.
Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.
Struggling with Sin
Did then that which is good become death to me? Far be the thought. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death to me by that which is good; in order that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.
For we know that the law is spiritual: but *I* am fleshly, sold under sin.
For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.
For that which I do, I do not own: for not what I will, this I do; but what I hate, this I practise.
If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
But if what I do not will, this I practise, I consent to the law that [it is] right.
But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
Now then [it is] no longer *I* [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me.
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.
For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, good does not dwell: for to will is there with me, but to do right [I find] not.
For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.
For I do not practise the good that I will; but the evil I do not will, that I do.
Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
But if what *I* do not will, this I practise, [it is] no longer *I* [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me.
I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good.
I find then the law upon *me* who will to practise what is right, that with *me* evil is there.
For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man.

O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
O wretched man that I [am]! who shall deliver me out of this body of death?
