3 [7:9]And I was alive without the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died, [7:10]and the commandment which was for life was found to be for death. [7:11]For sin having taken occasion through the commandment deceived me, and through it killed me. [7:12]The law therefore is holy, and the commandment holy and righteous and good. [7:13]Did then that which is good become death to me? By no means, but sin; that sin might be made manifest, producing death to me through that which is good, that sin might become exceedingly sinful through the commandment. [7:14]For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin. [7:15]For what I do this I approve not; for I do not what I wish, but what I hate, this I do. [7:16]But if what I wish not this I do, I consent to the law that it is good; [7:17]and now I no longer do it, but the sin that dwells in me. [7:18]For I know that in me, that is in my flesh, there dwells no good. For to wish is present with me, but to do the good is not; [7:19]for the good which I wish I do not, but the evil which I wish not this I do. 4 [7:20]But if what I wish not this I do, I no longer do it, but sin which dwells in me. [7:21]I find therefore the law, that when I wish to do good evil is present with me; [7:22]for I consent to the law of God as to my inward man, [my soul], [7:23]but I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind, and making me captive to the law of sin which is in my members. [7:24] Miserable man that I am; who will deliver me from the body of this death? [7:25] Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord; therefore I myself with the mind serve the law of God, and with the flesh the law of sin. CHAPTER VI.
