    1 Do you not know, brothers, (for I speak to those who know the law,) that the law has dominion over a person as long as he lives?

    2 For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives; but if the husband is dead, she is released from the law of her husband.

    3 So then if, while her husband lives, she is married to another man, she will be called an adulteress: but if her husband is dead, she is free from that law; so that she is not an adulteress, though she is married to another man.

    4 Therefore, my brothers, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ; that you may be married to another, even to Him who is raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.

    5 For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins, which were by the law, worked in our members to bear fruit to death.

    6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

    7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not. Indeed, I would not have known sin except through the law: for I would not have known lust unless the law had said, 'You shall not covet.'

    8 But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, worked in me all kinds of covetousness. For without the law, sin was dead.

    9 For I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

    11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me.

    12 Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

    13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? Certainly not. But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good; that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.

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

    15 For what I do, I do not understand: for what I want to do, that I do not do; but what I hate, that I do.

    16 If then I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good.

    17 Now then it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

    18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) nothing good dwells: for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.

    19 For the good that I want to do, I do not do; but the evil I do not want to do, that I do.

    20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

    21 I find then a law, that when I want to do good, evil is present with me.

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

    23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

    24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?

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