1Do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?
“Or do you not know, brethren, for I speak to those who know the law, that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?”
“Know ye not, brethren, for I speak to them that know the law, how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth.”
“Know ye not, brethren, for I speak to them that know the law, how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?”
“Know ye not, brethren, for I speak to them that know the law, how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?”
“Know ye not brethren, for I speak to them that know the law how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth.”
2For instance, a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.
“For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives, but if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.”
“For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth. But if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.”
“for the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband.”
“For the woman which hath a husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth. But if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.”
“For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband”
“For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth. But if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.”
3So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law and is not an adulteress, even if she marries another man.
“So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man.”
“so then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulterer. But if her husband be dead, she is free from that law. So that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.”
“So then if while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress. But if her husband be dead, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.”
“So then, if while her husband liveth she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress. But if her husband be dead, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress though she be married to another man.”
“So then, if while her husband liveth she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress. But if her husband be dead, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.”
“So then, if while her husband lives, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress. But if her husband be dead, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress though she be married to another man.”
4Therefore, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.
“Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.”
“Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ, that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.”
“therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.”
“Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another, even to him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.”
“Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ, that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth truth unto God.”
“therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the law through the body of Christ so that you might be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead in order that we might bear fruit for God.”
5For when we lived according to the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, bearing fruit for death.
“For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sin which were by the law did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.”
“for when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit to death.”
“for when we were in the flesh, the motions of sin, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.”
“For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death.”
“For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death.”
“for God. While we were in the flesh, verse 5, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death.”
6But now, having died to what bound us, we have been released from the law, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
“but now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.”
“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.”
“Now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.”
“But now we have been released from the law, having died to that by which we were bound so that we serve in newness of the spirit and not in oldness of the letter.”
“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.”
“But now we have been released from the law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.”
7What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the law. For I would not have been aware of coveting if the law had not said, "Do not covet."
“what shall we say then is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law. For I had not known lust except the law had said thou shalt not covet.”
“What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law, for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.”
“What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law. For I had not known lust, except the law had said thou shalt not covet.”
“what shall we say then, is the law sin? God forbid, nay, I had not known sin but by the law, for I had not known lust, except the law had said thou shalt not covet.”
“What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay I had not known sin but by the law. For I had not known lust except the law had said thou shalt not covet.”
“what shall we say then is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law for I had not known lust except the law had said thou shalt not covet.”
8But sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
“7—but sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law, sin was dead.”
“But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law, sin was dead.”

“But sin, taking occasion by the commandment Wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.”
“But sin, taken occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence, for without the law, sin was dead.”
“But sin taking opportunity through the commandment produced in me coveting of every kind. For apart from the law sin is dead.”
“But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law, sin was dead.”
9Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.
“For I was alive without the law once but when the commandment came Sin revived and I died”
“For I was alive without the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.”
“I was alive once without the law. But when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.”
“For I was alive without the law once. But when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.”
“For I was alive without the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.”
“For I was alive without the law once. But when the commandment came sin revived and I died.”
10So I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life actually brought death.
“and the commandment which was ordained to life. I found to be unto death.”
“The very commandment that promised life proved to be death to me.”
“And the commandment which was ordained to life I found to be unto death.”
“And the commandment which was ordained to life I found to be unto death.”
“and the commandment which was ordained to life. I found to be unto death”
“And this commandment which was to result in life proved to result in death for me.”
11For sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through the commandment put me to death.
“For sin taking occasion by the commandment deceived me and by it slew me.”
“For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me and by it killed me.”
“For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.”
“For sin taking occasion by the commandment. Deceived me and by it slew me.”
“for sin taking occasion by the commandment deceived me and by it Slew me.”
“For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me and by it slew me.”
12So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.
“Therefore, the law is holy and the commandment holy and just and good.”
“Wherefore, the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.”
“Wherefore the law is holy and the commandment holy and just and good.”
“So then the law is holy and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.”
“Wherefore, the law is holy and the commandment holy and just and good.”
“Therefore, the law. Is holy and the commandment holy and just and good.”
13Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But in order that sin might be exposed as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
“Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not. But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.”
“Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good, that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.”
“Was then that which is good made death unto me God forbid. But sin that it might appear sin. Working death in me by that which is good. That sin by the commandment might become Exceeding sinful.”
“Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.”
“Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not. But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good. So that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.”
“Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid, but sin that it might appear sin, working death in me, by that which is good, that sin by the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.”
14We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.
“for we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal sold under sin.”
“For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.”
“For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.”
“For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.”
“for we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.”
“For we know that the law is spiritual. But I am carnal sold under sin.”
15I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do. But what I hate, I do.
“For that which I do, I allow not. For what I would, that do I not. But what I hate, that do I.”
“for that which I do, I allow not, for what I would, that do I not, but what I hate, that do I.”

18I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.

“for I know that nothing good dwells in me that is in my flesh. For the wishing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.”
19For I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I keep on doing the evil I do not want to do.
“For the good that I would, I do not, but the evil which I would not, that I do.”
“For the good that I will to do, I do not do. But the evil I will not to do, that I practice.”
“for the good that I would, I do not, but the evil which I would not, that I do.”
“For the good that I would, I do not, but the evil which I would not, that I do.”
“For the good that I would I do not, but the evil which I would not that I do.”

20And if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
“Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.”

21So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
“I find then a law that when I would do good, evil is present with me.”

25Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
