sin revived, and I died.
007:010 The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;
007:011 for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me,
and through it killed me.
007:012 Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy,
and righteous, and good.
007:013 Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be!
But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death
to me through that which is good; that through the commandment
sin might become exceeding sinful.
007:014 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly,
sold under sin.
007:015 For I don't know what I am doing. For I don't practice what I
desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
007:016 But if what I don't desire, that I do, I consent to the law
that it is good.
007:017 So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
007:018 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing.
For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing
that which is good.
007:019 For the good which I desire, I don't do; but the evil which I
don't desire, that I practice.
007:020 But if what I don't desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it,
but sin which dwells in me.
007:021 I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good,
evil is present.
007:022 For I delight in God's law after the inward man,
007:023 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law
of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law
of sin which is in my members.
007:024 What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body
of this death?
007:025 I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord! So then with the mind,
I myself serve God's law, but with the flesh, the sin's law.
008:001 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are
in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh,
but according to the Spirit.{NU omits "who don't walk according
to the flesh, but according to the Spirit"}
008:002 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free
from the law of sin and of death.
008:003 For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh,
God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh
and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;
008:004 that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
008:005 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds
on the things of the flesh, but those who live according
to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
008:006 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit
is life and peace;
008:007 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God;
for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.
