    5For when we were in the flesh, the sinful desires, aroused by the law, were active in the members of our body to bear fruit for death.

    6But now we have been released from the law, because we have died to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code.

    7What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! Certainly, I would not have known sin except through the law. For indeed I would not have known what it means to desire something belonging to someone else if the law had not said,“Do not covet.”

    8But sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of wrong desires. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

    9And I was once alive apart from the law, but with the coming of the commandment sin became alive

    10and I died. So I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life brought death!

    11For sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it I died.

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

    13Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Absolutely not! But sin, so that it would be shown to be sin, produced death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.

    14For we know that the law is spiritual– but I am unspiritual, sold into slavery to sin.

    15For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I do not do what I want– instead, I do what I hate.

    16But if I do what I don’t want, I agree that the law is good.

    17But now it is no longer me doing it, but sin that lives in me.

    18For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For I want to do the good, but I cannot do it.

    19For I do not do the good I want, but I do the very evil I do not want!

    20Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer me doing it but sin that lives in me.

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

    22For I delight in the law of God in my inner being.

    23But I see a different law in my members waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that is in my members.
