    7What shall we say then? Is the lawe sinne? God forbyd. Neuerthelesse, I knewe not sinne, but by the lawe: For I had not knowen lust, except the lawe had sayde, thou shalt not lust.

    8But sinne, takyng occasion by the commaundement, wrought in me all maner of concupiscence. For without the lawe, sinne was dead.

    9I once lyued without lawe: But when the commaundement came, sinne reuyued,

    10And I was dead. And the very same commaundemet, which was ordeyned vnto lyfe, was founde to be vnto me an occasion of death.

    11For sinne, takyng occasion by the commaundement, hath deceaued me, and by the same slewe me.

    12Wherfore the lawe is holy, and the commaundement holy, & iust and good.

    13Was that then which was good, made death vnto me? God forbyd. But sinne, that sinne myght appeare, by that which was good to worke death in me: that sinne by ye commaundement, myght be out of measure sinfull.

    14For we knowe, that the lawe is spirituall: but I am carnall, solde vnder sinne.

    15For that which I do, I alowe not. For what I woulde, that do I not: but what I hate, that do I.

    17Nowe then, it is not I that do it: but sinne that dwelleth in me.

    20And yf I do that I woulde not, then is it not I that doth it, but sinne that dwelleth in me.

    21I fynde then by the lawe, that when I woulde do good, euyll is present with me.

    22For I delite in the lawe of God, after the inwarde man:

    23But I see another lawe in my members, rebellyng agaynst the lawe of my mynde, and subduyng me vnto the lawe of sinne, which is in my members.

    24O wretched man that I am: Who shall deliuer me from the body of this death?

    25I thanke God through Iesus Christe our Lorde. So then, with the mynde I my selfe serue the lawe of God: but with the fleshe, the lawe of sinne.

    2For the lawe of the spirite of lyfe, through Iesus Christe, hath made me free from the lawe of sinne and death.

    3For what the lawe coulde not do, in as much as it was weake through the fleshe, God sendyng his owne sonne, in the similitude of sinfull fleshe, euen by sinne, condempned sinne in the fleshe:

    4That the ryghteousnesse of the lawe, myght be fulfylled in vs, which walke not after the fleshe, but after the spirite.

    5For they that are carnall, are carnally mynded: But they that are spirituall, are spiritually mynded.

    6To be carnally mynded, is death: But to be spiritually mynded, is lyfe & peace:

    7Because that the fleshly mynde is enmitie agaynst God: For it is not obedient to the lawe of God, neither can be.
