    15For 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.

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

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

    18For 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.

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

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

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

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

    23But 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.

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

    25I 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.

    4Therefore, 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.

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

    6But 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.

    7What 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.'

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

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

    10And the commandment, which was intended for life, I found to be leading to death.

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

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

    13Was 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.

    1There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

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

    3For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, to condemn sin in the flesh.

    4That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

    5For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

    6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

    7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.

    8So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
