    4So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another's, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God;

    5for when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins, that `are' through the law, were working in our members, to bear fruit to the death;

    6and now we have ceased from the law, that being dead in which we were held, so that we may serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.

    7What, then, shall we say? the law `is' sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:

    8`Thou shalt not covet;' and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness -- for apart from law sin is dead.

    9And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having come, the sin revived, and I died;

    10and the command that `is' for life, this was found by me for death;

    11for the sin, having received an opportunity, through the command, did deceive me, and through it did slay `me';

    12so that the law, indeed, `is' holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.

    13That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command,

    14for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;

    15for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do.

    16And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that `it is' good,

    17and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me,

    18for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find,

    19for the good that I will, I do not; but the evil that I do not will, this I practise.

    20And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me.

    21I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is right, with me the evil is present,

    22for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,

    1There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit;

    2for the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus did set me free from the law of the sin and of the death;

    3for what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the sin in the flesh,

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

    5For those who are according to the flesh, the things of the flesh do mind; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit;

    6for the mind of the flesh `is' death, and the mind of the Spirit -- life and peace;

    7because the mind of the flesh `is' enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself,

    8for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.
