Romans 7:1

Or are ye ignorant, brethren (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law hath dominion over a man for so long time as he liveth?

Is it not clear, my brothers (I am using an argument to those who have knowledge of the law), that the law has power over a man as long as he is living?

Are ye ignorant, brethren, (for I speak to those knowing law,) that law rules over a man as long as he lives?

Romans 7:2

For the woman that hath a husband is bound by law to the husband while he liveth; but if the husband die, she is discharged from the law of the husband.

For the woman who has a husband is placed by the law under the power of her husband as long as he is living; but if her husband is dead, she is free from the law of the husband.

For 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:

Romans 7:3

So then if, while the husband liveth, she be joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if the husband die, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she be joined to another man.

So if, while the husband is living, she is joined to another man, she will get the name of one who is untrue to her husband: but if the husband is dead, she is free from the law, so that she is not untrue, even if she takes another man.

so 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.

Romans 7:4

Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye should be joined to another, [even] to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit unto God.

In the same way, my brothers, you were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, even to him who came again from the dead, so that we might give fruit to God.

So 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 to God.

Romans 7:5

For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were through the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

For when we were in the flesh, the evil passions which came into being through the law were working in our bodies to give the fruit of death.

For 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;

Romans 7:6

But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that wherein we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

But now we are free from the law, having been made dead to that which had power over us; so that we are servants in the new way of the spirit, not in the old way of the letter.

but 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.

Romans 7:7

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Howbeit, I had not known sin, except through the law: for I had not known coveting, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet:

What then is to be said? is the law sin? in no way. But I would not have had knowledge of sin but for the law: for I would not have been conscious of desire if the law had not said, You may not have a desire for what is another's.

What 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;

Romans 7:8

but sin, finding occasion, wrought in me through the commandment all manner of coveting: for apart from the law sin [is] dead.

But sin, taking its chance through that which was ordered by the law, was working in me every form of desire: because without the law sin is dead.

but sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, wrought in me every lust; for without law sin [was] dead.

Romans 7:9

And I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died;

And there was a time when I was living without the law: but when the law gave its orders, sin came to life and put me to death;

But *I* was alive without law once; but the commandment having come, sin revived, but *I* died.

Romans 7:10

and the commandment, which [was] unto life, this I found [to be] unto death:

And I made the discovery that the law whose purpose was to give life had become a cause of death:

And the commandment, which [was] for life, was found, [as] to me, itself [to be] unto death:

Romans 7:11

for sin, finding occasion, through the commandment beguiled me, and through it slew me.

For I was tricked and put to death by sin, which took its chance through the law.

for sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew [me].

Romans 7:12

So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.

But the law is holy, and its orders are holy, upright, and good.

So that the law indeed [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

Romans 7:13

Did then that which is good become death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; --that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.

Was then that which is good, death to me? In no way. But the purpose was that sin might be seen to be sin by working death to me through that which is good; so that through the orders of the law sin might seem much more evil.

Did 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.

Romans 7:14

For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

For we are conscious that the law is of the spirit; but I am of the flesh, given into the power of sin.

For we know that the law is spiritual: but *I* am fleshly, sold under sin.

Romans 7:15

For that which I do I know not: for not what I would, that do I practise; but what I hate, that I do.

And I have no clear knowledge of what I am doing, for that which I have a mind to do, I do not, but what I have hate for, that I do.

For that which I do, I do not own: for not what I will, this I do; but what I hate, this I practise.

Romans 7:16

But if what I would not, that I do, I consent unto the law that it is good.

But, if I do that which I have no mind to do, I am in agreement with the law that the law is good.

But if what I do not will, this I practise, I consent to the law that [it is] right.

Romans 7:17

So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me.

So it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

Now then [it is] no longer *I* [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me.

Romans 7:18

For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me, but to do that which is good [is] not.

For I am conscious that in me, that is, in my flesh, there is nothing good: I have the mind but not the power to do what is right.

For 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.

Romans 7:19

For the good which I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I practise.

For the good which I have a mind to do, I do not: but the evil which I have no mind to do, that I do.

For I do not practise the good that I will; but the evil I do not will, that I do.

Romans 7:20

But if what I would not, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me.

But if I do what I have no mind to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

But if what *I* do not will, this I practise, [it is] no longer *I* [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me.

Romans 7:21

I find then the law, that, to me who would do good, evil is present.

So I see a law that, though I have a mind to do good, evil is present in me.

I find then the law upon *me* who will to practise what is right, that with *me* evil is there.

Romans 7:22

For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

In my heart I take pleasure in the law of God,

For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man:

Romans 7:23

but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.

But I see another law in my body, working against the law of my mind, and making me the servant of the law of sin which is in my flesh.

but 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.

Romans 7:24

Wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?

How unhappy am I! who will make me free from the body of this death?

O wretched man that I [am]! who shall deliver me out of this body of death?

Romans 7:25

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I of myself with the mind, indeed, serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

I give praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So with my mind I am a servant to the law of God, but with my flesh to the law of sin.

I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then *I* *myself* with the mind serve God's law; but with the flesh sin's law.
