Romans 7:1

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 to those knowing law I speak that the law hath lordship over the man as long as he liveth?

Brethren, do you not know for I am writing to people acquainted with the Law that it is during our lifetime that we are subject to the Law?

Romans 7:2

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 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;

A wife, for instance, whose husband is living is bound to him by the Law; but if her husband dies the law that bound her to him has now no hold over her.

Romans 7:3

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, 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.

This accounts for the fact that if during her husband's life she lives with another man, she will be stigmatized as an adulteress; but that if her husband is dead she is no longer under the old prohibition, and even though she marries again, she is not an adulteress.

Romans 7:4

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 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;

So, my brethren, to you also the Law died through the incarnation of Christ, that you might be wedded to Another, namely to Him who rose from the dead in order that we might yield fruit to God.

Romans 7:5

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 the sins, that [are] through the law, were working in our members, to bear fruit to the death;

For whilst we were under the thraldom of our earthly natures, sinful passions made sinful by the Law were always being aroused to action in our bodily faculties that they might yield fruit to death.

Romans 7:6

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.

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 seeing that we have died to that which once held us in bondage, the Law has now no hold over us, so that we render a service which, instead of being old and formal, is new and spiritual.

Romans 7:7

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, 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 follows? Is the Law itself a sinful thing? No, indeed; on the contrary, unless I had been taught by the Law, I should have known nothing of sin as sin. For instance, I should not have known what covetousness is, if the Law had not repeatedly said, "Thou shalt not covet."

Romans 7:8

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.

`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.

Sin took advantage of this, and by means of the Commandment stirred up within me every kind of coveting; for apart from Law sin would be dead.

Romans 7:9

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;

And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having come, the sin revived, and I died;

Once, apart from Law, I was alive, but when the Commandment came, sin sprang into life, and I died;

Romans 7:10

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

and the command that [is] for life, this was found by me for death;

and, as it turned out, the very Commandment which was to bring me life, brought me death.

Romans 7:11

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

for the sin, having received an opportunity, through the command, did deceive me, and through it did slay [me];

For sin seized the advantage, and by means of the Commandment it completely deceived me, and also put me to death.

Romans 7:12

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

so that the law, indeed, [is] holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.

So that the Law itself is holy, and the Commandment is holy, just and good.

Romans 7:13

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.

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,

Did then a thing which is good become death to me? No, indeed, but sin did; so that through its bringing about death by means of what was good, it might be seen in its true light as sin, in order that by means of the Commandment the unspeakable sinfulness of sin might be plainly shown.

Romans 7:14

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 have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;

For we know that the Law is a spiritual thing; but I am unspiritual the slave, bought and sold, of sin.

Romans 7:15

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 work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do.

For what I do, I do not recognize as my own action. What I desire to do is not what I do, but what I am averse to is what I do.

Romans 7:16

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

And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that [it is] good,

But if I do that which I do not desire to do, I admit the excellence of the Law,

Romans 7:17

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

and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me,

and now it is no longer I that do these things, but the sin which has its home within me does them.

Romans 7:18

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 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 lower self, nothing good has its home; for while the will to do right is present with me, the power to carry it out is not.

Romans 7:19

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

For what I do is not the good thing that I desire to do; but the evil thing that I desire not to do, is what I constantly do.

Romans 7:20

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.

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.

But if I do that which I desire not to do, it can no longer be said that it is I who do it, but the sin which has its home within me does it.

Romans 7:21

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

I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is right, with me the evil is present,

I find therefore the law of my nature to be that when I desire to do what is right, evil is lying in ambush for me.

Romans 7:22

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

for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,

For in my inmost self all my sympathy is with the Law of God;

Romans 7:23

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.

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 discover within me a different Law at war with the Law of my understanding, and leading me captive to the Law which is everywhere at work in my body the Law of sin.

Romans 7:24

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

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

(Unhappy man that I am! who will rescue me from this death-burdened body?

Romans 7:25

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 indeed with the mind do serve the law of God, and with the flesh, the law of sin.

Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!) To sum up then, with my understanding, I my true self am in servitude to the Law of God, but with my lower nature I am in servitude to the Law of sin.
