    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.

    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.

    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:

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

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

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

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

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

    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.

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

    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.

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

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

    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.

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

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

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

    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.

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

    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.

    2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

    3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

    4 that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

    5 For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
