For with out the lawe synne was deed. 9 I once lived with out lawe. But when the commaundement came synne revyved and I was deed. 10 And the very same comaundement which was ordeyned vnto lyfe was founde to be vnto me an occasion of deeth. 11 For synne toke occasion by the meanes of the comaundement and so disceaved me and by the selfe commaundement slewe we. 12 Wherfore the lawe is holy and the commaundement holy iust and good. 13 Was that then which is good made deeth vnto me? God forbyd. Naye synne was deeth vnto me that it myght appere how that synne by the meanes of that which is good had wrought deeth in me: that synne which is vnder the commandemet myght be out of measure synfull. 14 For we knowe that the lawe is spirituall: but I am carnall solde vnder synne 15 because I wote not what I doo.

So then I my silfe in my mynde serve the lawe of God and in my flesshe the lawe of synne.
