Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
Are
ye ignorant
, brethren --
for to
those
knowing
law
I speak --
that the law hath lordship
over the
man as long as he liveth?
Know
ye not
, brethren ,
(
for I speak to
them
that know
the law ,)
how
that
the
law
hath dominion
over a
man as long as he liveth?
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 ;
For the woman which
hath an
husband
is
bound by the
law to
her
husband
so
long
as
he
liveth;
but
if the husband be
dead
, she is
loosed
from the law of her
husband .
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
.
So then if
, while
her
husband liveth
, 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
.
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 ;
Wherefore
, my brethren, ye also are
become
dead to the law by
the body of Christ ;
that
ye
should
be
married
to
another
, even
to
him
who is
raised
from
the dead, that we should
bring
forth
fruit unto
God .
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 ;
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 .
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.
But
now we are
delivered
from the law, that being dead wherein
we were held ;
that we should
serve in newness of spirit, and not in the
oldness of the
letter.
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 :
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.
`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.
But
sin, taking
occasion
by
the commandment
, wrought
in me all manner
of
concupiscence.
For without
the
law sin was
dead.
And
I was alive apart
from
law once ,
and
the command
having
come
, the
sin revived, and I died ;
For
I was alive without
the
law once :
but
when
the commandment
came
, sin revived, and I died .
and the command
that
`is'
for
life
, this
was found by
me
for
death ;
And the commandment
, which
was ordained
to
life,
I
found to
be
unto
death .
for the
sin, having
received
an
opportunity,
through
the command
, did
deceive
me, and through
it did
slay
`
me ';
For sin, taking
occasion
by
the commandment
, deceived
me, and by
it slew
me .
so
that
the law ,
indeed,
`
is '
holy, and the command
holy, and righteous
, and good.
Wherefore
the law is holy, and the commandment
holy, and just
, and good.
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,
Was
then
that which is good made
death unto
me
? God
forbid.
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 .
for we have
known
that the law is spiritual ,
and
I am fleshly
, sold by
the
sin ;
For we know
that the law is spiritual :
but
I am carnal
, sold under
sin .
for that which I work,
I
do not acknowledge;
for not
what I will
, this
I practise,
but what I hate, this
I
do.
For that which I do I
allow
not :
for what I would
, that
do
I not;
but what I hate, that
do I
.
And
if what
I do not
will,
this
I do
, I consent to
the law that `
it is '
good ,
If then
I do that
which
I would
not
, I consent unto
the law that it is good .
and
now it is no longer
I that work
it, but the
sin dwelling
in me ,
Now then
it is no more
I that do
it, but sin that
dwelleth
in me .
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 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.
for the good that I will,
I do not ;
but the evil that
I do
not will
, this
I practise
.
For the good that I would
I do not :
but the evil which
I would
not, that
I do
.
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.
Now
if I do that
I would
not
, it is no more
I that do
it, but sin that dwelleth
in me.
I find ,
then ,
the
law, that when I desire
to
do what
is
right
, with
me
the
evil is present ,
I find then a
law, that ,
when I would
do good
, evil is present with
me.
for I delight in the law of God according
to
the inward man ,
For I delight in the law of God after
the inward man :
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.
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.
A
wretched man I `
am '
! who shall deliver me out
of
the body of this death?
O
wretched man that
I am! who shall deliver me from
the body of this death?
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.
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord .
So then with the mind I
myself
serve the law of God ;
but
with the flesh the law of sin.
