CHAPTER VII. 1 No law hath power over a man longer than he liveth. 4 But we are dead to the law. 7 Yet is not the law sin, 12 but holy, just, good, 16 as I acknowledge, who am grieved because I cannot keep it. 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? 2 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. 3 So then bif, 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. 4 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 Law of sin in our members. is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. 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 unto death. 6 But now we are delivered from 3 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. 7 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. 8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For 1 without the law sin was dead. 9 For I was alive without the law once but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. 10 And the commandment, m which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. 12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. 13 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.

THE HERE is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who a walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 Forb the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from a the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, f God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and 3 for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, & who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For 4 to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not minding of subject to the law of God, neither the Spirit. 6 Gr. the minding of the flesh. 1 Jam. 4. 4. m1Cor.2.11. ☐ 1 Cor. 3. 16. & 6. 19. indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that "the Spirit of God dwell in you.
