YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Do
you
not
know
, brothers
(
for I
am
speaking
to those who
know
the
law ),
that the law has
authority
over a
man only
as long as he lives
?
Are
ye
ignorant
, brethren
--
for to those knowing
law I
speak
--
that the law hath
lordship
over the
man as long as he liveth
?
For instance,
a
married woman is
bound by law to
her
husband
as
long
as
he
lives.
But
if her
husband dies
, she is
released
from the law of marriage.
for 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;
So then, if
she
is
joined
to
another
man
while
her
husband is
still
alive, she
is
called
an adulteress; but
if her
husband dies
, she is free from that
law and
is
not an adulteress, even
if
she
marries
another man
.
so ,
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
.
Therefore
, my brothers
, you
also died
to the law through the body of Christ, that
you
might
belong
to
another
, to
Him
who was
raised
from
the dead, in
order
that we might bear fruit to God .
So
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 ;
For when we lived
according
to
the flesh, the sinful
passions aroused
by
the law were at
work
in our bodies
, bearing
fruit for
death .
for when we were
in
the flesh, the passions of
the sins,
that
`are'
through
the
law ,
were working
in our members
, to
bear
fruit to
the
death ;
But
now ,
having
died
to
what
bound
us,
we have been
released
from the law, so that we serve in the
new
way
of the
Spirit, and not in the
old
way
of the
written
code
.
and
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
.
What then shall we say? Is
the law sin? Certainly
not! Indeed,
I
would
not
have
been
mindful
of
sin if
not for
the
law .
For I would
not have
been
aware
of
coveting
if the law had not said ,
“Do
not
covet.”
What ,
then ,
shall we say? the law `is'
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 :
But
sin ,
seizing
its
opportunity through the commandment
, produced
in me every
kind
of
covetous
desire.
For apart from the
law ,
sin is dead.
`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.
Once
I was alive apart from the
law ;
but
when
the commandment
came
, sin sprang
to
life
and I died .
And
I was alive apart from law once,
and
the command
having
come
, the
sin revived,
and I died ;
So
I
discovered
that
the very
commandment
that was
meant
to
bring
life actually
brought
death .
and
the command
that `is'
for
life ,
this
was
found
by
me
for
death ;
For sin, seizing
its
opportunity through the commandment
, deceived
me and through the
commandment
put
me to
death.
for the
sin, having
received
an
opportunity ,
through the command
, did
deceive
me ,
and through it
did
slay
`
me ';
So then,
the law is holy, and the commandment
is
holy, righteous, and good.
so that
the law ,
indeed,
`
is '
holy, and the command
holy, and
righteous, and good.
Did
that which is good ,
then, become
death
to me? Certainly
not! But in
order
that
sin might be
exposed
as
sin, it
produced
death
in
me
through what
was
good, so
that through
the commandment
sin might become utterly
sinful .
That 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,
We know
that the law is spiritual ;
but
I am unspiritual
, sold as
a
slave
to
sin .
for
we have
known
that the law is spiritual ,
and
I am fleshly
, sold by
the
sin ;
I do
not
understand
what
I do .
For what I want
to
do
, I do
not
do.
But what I hate, I do.
for
that
which
I work,
I do not
acknowledge;
for not
what I will
, this
I practise,
but what I hate, this
I do.
And if I
do
what I do not want
to
do, I admit
that
the law is good .
And if what I do not will,
this
I
do, I consent
to
the law that
`it
is '
good ,
In
that
case,
it is no longer I who
do
it, but it
is
sin living
in me that
does
it.
and
now
it is no longer I that
work
it, but the
sin dwelling
in me ,
I know
that nothing
good
lives
in me, that is, in my flesh ;
for I
have
the
desire
to do
what
is good
, but
I cannot
carry
it
out.
for
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,
For I
do
not
do
the good I want
to
do.
Instead
, I keep
on
doing
the evil I do not want
to
do
.
for the good that
I will
, I do
not;
but
the evil that
I do not will,
this
I
practise
.
And if I
do
what I do not want
, it is no longer I who
do
it, but it
is
sin living
in me that
does
it
.
And 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.
So
this
is
the
principle
I have
discovered:
When I want
to do good,
evil
is right there
with me .
I find,
then,
the
law,
that
when I desire
to do what
is right ,
with me the
evil
is
present,
For in
my
inner
being
I delight in God’s
law .
for I delight in the
law of
God
according
to
the
inward
man,
But
I see
another law at
work
in my body
, warring against the law of my mind and holding
me captive
to the law of sin that dwells
within
me
.
and
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 `is'
in
my
members
.
What
a wretched man I am! Who will
rescue
me from
this
body of death?
A wretched man I `
am '
! who shall
deliver
me out
of
the
body of this
death?
Thanks
be
to
God ,
through Jesus Christ our Lord !
So then, with my
mind I
serve the law of God, but
with my
flesh I
serve
the law of sin.
I
thank
God --
through Jesus Christ our Lord ;
so then, I
myself
indeed
with the
mind do
serve the law of God, and
with the
flesh ,
the law of sin.
