Romans 7

1 Know you not, brothers, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?
Compare verse
2 For the woman which has an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he lives; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
Compare verse
3 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.
Compare verse
4 Why, my brothers, you also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that you should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit to God.
Compare verse
5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit to death.
Compare verse
6 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.
Compare verse
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. No, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, You shall not covet.
Compare verse
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, worked in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
Compare verse
9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
Compare verse
10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be to death.
Compare verse
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
Compare verse
12 Why the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Compare verse
13 Was then that which is good made death to 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.
Compare verse
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Compare verse
15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
Compare verse
16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent to the law that it is good.
Compare verse
17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.
Compare verse
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwells no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
Compare verse
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Compare verse
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.
Compare verse
21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
Compare verse
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
Compare verse
23 But 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.
Compare verse
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Compare verse
25 I 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.
