    7What shall we say then? Is the Lawe sinne? God forbid. Nay, I knewe not sinne, but by the Lawe: for I had not knowen lust, except the Lawe had sayd, Thou shalt not lust.

    8But sinne tooke an occasion by ye commandement, and wrought in me all maner of concupiscence: for without the Lawe sinne is dead.

    9For I once was aliue, wtout the Law: but when the commandement came, sinne reuiued,

    10But I died: and the same commandement which was ordeined vnto life, was found to be vnto me vnto death.

    11For sinne tooke occasion by the commandement, and deceiued me, and thereby slewe me.

    12Wherefore the Lawe is holy, and that commandement is holy, and iust, and good.

    13Was that then which is good, made death vnto me? God forbid: but sinne, that it might appeare sinne, wrought death in me by that which is good, that sinne might be out of measure sinfull by the commandement.

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

    15For I alow not that which I do: for what I would, that do I not: but what I hate, that do I.

    16If I doe then that which I woulde not, I consent to the Lawe, that it is good.

    17Nowe then, it is no more I, that doe it, but sinne that dwelleth in me.

    18For I know, that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to wil is preset with me: but I find no meanes to perform that which is good.

    19For I doe not the good thing, which I would, but the euil, which I would not, that do I.

    20Nowe if I do that I would not, it is no more I that doe it, but the sinne that dwelleth in me.
