1 Know you2f not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?

2 For the woman which has an husband is bound by the law to [her] husband so long as he lives; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of [her] husband.

3 So then if, while [her] husband lives, 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.

4 For what reason, my brethren, you2f also are become dead to the law by the body of Moshiach [Messiah]; that you2f should be married to another, [even] to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God-The Father.

5 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.

6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of Spirit [Ruach], and not [in] the oldness of the letter.

7 What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? May it not be. No, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, youi shall not covet.

8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence (strong lust; passion). For without the law sin [was] dead.

9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

10 And the commandment, which [was ordained] to life, I found [to be] unto death.

11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed [me].

12 For what reason the law [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? May it not be. 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.

14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal (of the flesh, sensual), sold under sin.

15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that [it is] good.

17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.

18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwells no good thing: for to will is present with me; but [how] to finish 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 dwells in me.

21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

22 For I delight in the law of God-The Father after the inward man:

23 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.

24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

25 I thank God-The Father through Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] our Lord - Kurios. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God-The Father; but with the flesh the law of sin.
