1. KJV King James Version

   7 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. 8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 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. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

2. NIV New International Version

   7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "You shall not covet."*7:7 Exodus 20:17; Deut. 5:218 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.

   17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.*7:18 Or my flesh For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

3. ESV English Standard Version

   7 What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, *See ch. 3:20I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if *ch. 13:9;Ex. 20:17;Deut. 5:21the law had not said, "You shall not covet." 8 But sin, *ver. 11;[Gal. 5:13] seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. *1 Cor. 15:56For apart from the law, sin lies dead.

   17 So now *ver. 20it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. 18 For I know that nothing good dwells *Gen. 6:5;8:21;Job 14:4;15:14;Ps. 51:5in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. 19 *ver. 15For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want, *ver. 17it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

4. NLT New Living Translation

   7 Well then, am I suggesting that the law of God is sinful? Of course not! In fact, it was the law that showed me my sin. I would never have known that coveting is wrong if the law had not said, "You must not covet."*7:7 Exod 20:17; Deut 5:21.8 But sin used this command to arouse all kinds of covetous desires within me! If there were no law, sin would not have that power.

   17 So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.

   18 And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.*7:18 Greek my flesh; also in 7:25. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. 19 I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. 20 But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.

5. NKJV Nova Versão King James

   7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, *Rom. 3:20I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, *Ex. 20:17; Deut. 5:21; Acts 20:33"You shall not covet." 8 But *Rom. 4:15sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all mannerofevil desire. For *1 Cor. 15:56apart from the law sin was dead.

   17 But now, itis no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 For I know that *(Gen. 6:5; 8:21)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. 19 For the good that I will todo, I do not do; but the evil I will not todo, that I practice. 20 Now if I do what I will not todo, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

6. NASB New American Standard Bible 2020

   7 What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? *7:7 Lit May it never happen!Far from it! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except *7:7 Or through lawthrough the Law; for I would not have known about *7:7 Or lustcoveting if the Law had not said, "You shall not*7:7 Or lustcovet." 8 But sin, taking an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me *7:8 Or lustcoveting of every kind; for apart *7:8 Or from lawfrom the Law sin is dead.

   17 But now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 For I know that good does not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. 19 For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. 20 But if I do the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin that dwells in me.

   7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? God forbid. But I do not know sin, but by the law; for I had not known concupiscence, if the law did not say: Thou shalt not covet. 8 But sin taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that there dwelleth not in me, that is to say, in my flesh, that which is good. For to will, is present with me; but to accomplish that which is good, I find not. 19 For the good which I will, I do not; but the evil which I will not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that which I will not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

8. MSG The Message

   7 But I can hear you say, "If the law code was as bad as all that, it’s no better than sin itself." That’s certainly not true. The law code had a perfectly legitimate function. Without its clear guidelines for right and wrong, moral behavior would be mostly guesswork. Apart from the succinct, surgical command, "You shall not covet," I could have dressed covetousness up to look like a virtue and ruined my life with it.

   8-12 Don’t you remember how it was? I do, perfectly well. The law code started out as an excellent piece of work. What happened, though, was that sin found a way to pervert the command into a temptation, making a piece of "forbidden fruit" out of it. The law code, instead of being used to guide me, was used to seduce me. Without all the paraphernalia of the law code, sin looked pretty dull and lifeless, and I went along without paying much attention to it. But once sin got its hands on the law code and decked itself out in all that finery, I was fooled, and fell for it. The very command that was supposed to guide me into life was cleverly used to trip me up, throwing me headlong. So sin was plenty alive, and I was stone dead. But the law code itself is God’s good and common sense, each command sane and holy counsel.

   17-20 But I need something more! For if I know the law but still can’t keep it, and if the power of sin within me keeps sabotaging my best intentions, I obviously need help! I realize that I don’t have what it takes. I can will it, but I can’t do it. I decide to do good, but I don’t really do it; I decide not to do bad, but then I do it anyway. My decisions, such as they are, don’t result in actions. Something has gone wrong deep within me and gets the better of me every time.
