1Are ye ignorant, brethren--for to those knowing law I speak--that the law hath lordship over the man as long as he liveth?
1Are ye ignorant, brethren, (for I speak to those knowing law,) that law rules over a man as long as he lives?
2for the married woman to the living husband hath been bound by law, and if the husband may die, she hath been free from the law of the husband;
2For 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:
3so, then, the husband being alive, an adulteress she shall be called if she may become another man's; and if the husband may die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, having become another man's.
3so 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.
4So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another's, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God;
4So that, my brethren, ye also have been made dead to the law by the body of the Christ, to be to another, who has been raised up from among [the] dead, in order that we might bear fruit toGod.
5for when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins, that <FI>are<Fi> through the law, were working in our members, to bear fruit to the death;
5For when we were in the flesh the passions of sins, which [were] by the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit to death;
6and now we have ceased from the law, that being dead in which we were held, so that we may serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.
6but 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.
7What, then, shall we say? the law <FI>is<Fi> sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:
7What 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;
8`Thou shalt not covet;' and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness--for apart from law sin is dead.
8but sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, wrought in me every lust; for without law sin [was] dead.
9And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having come, the sin revived, and I died;
9But I was alive without law once; but the commandment having come, sin revived, but I died.
10and the command that <FI>is<Fi> for life, this was found by me for death;
10And the commandment, which [was] for life, was found, [as] to me, itself [to be] unto death:
11for the sin, having received an opportunity, through the command, did deceive me, and through it did slay <FI>me<Fi> ;
11for sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew [me].
12so that the law, indeed, <FI>is<Fi> holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.
12So that the law indeed [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
13That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command,
13Did 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.
14for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;
14For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
15for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do.
15For that which I do, I do not own: for not what I will, this I do; but what I hate, this I practise.
16And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that <FI>it is<Fi> good,
16But if what I do not will, this I practise, I consent to the law that [it is] right.
17and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me,
17Now then [it is] no longer I [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me.
18for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find,
18For 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.
19for the good that I will, I do not; but the evil that I do not will, this I practise.
19For I do not practise the good that I will; but the evil I do not will, that I do.
20And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me.
20But if what I do not will, this I practise, [it is] no longer I [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me.
21I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is right, with me the evil is present,
21I find then the law upon me who will to practise what is right, that with me evil is there.
22for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,
22For I delight in the law ofGod according to the inward man:
23and I behold another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of the sin that <FI>is<Fi> in my members.
23but I see another law in my members, warring in opposition to the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which exists in my members.
