Romans 7:24 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Now, dear brothers and sisters-- you who are familiar with the law-- don't you know that the law applies only while a person is living?

2 For example, when a woman marries, the law binds her to her husband as long as he is alive. But if he dies, the laws of marriage no longer apply to her.

3 So while her husband is alive, she would be committing adultery if she married another man. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law and does not commit adultery when she remarries.

4 So, my dear brothers and sisters, this is the point: You died to the power of the law when you died with Christ. And now you are united with the one who was raised from the dead. As a result, we can produce a harvest of good deeds for God.

5 When we were controlled by our old nature, sinful desires were at work within us, and the law aroused these evil desires that produced a harvest of sinful deeds, resulting in death.

6 But now we have been released from the law, for we died to it and are no longer captive to its power. Now we can serve God, not in the old way of obeying the letter of the law, but in the new way of living in the Spirit.

7 Well then, am I suggesting that the law of God is sinful? Of course not! In fact, it was the law that showed me my sin. I would never have known that coveting is wrong if the law had not said, "You must not covet."

8 But sin used this command to arouse all kinds of covetous desires within me! If there were no law, sin would not have that power.

9 At one time I lived without understanding the law. But when I learned the command not to covet, for instance, the power of sin came to life,

10 and I died. So I discovered that the law's commands, which were supposed to bring life, brought spiritual death instead.

11 Sin took advantage of those commands and deceived me; it used the commands to kill me.

12 But still, the law itself is holy, and its commands are holy and right and good.

13 But how can that be? Did the law, which is good, cause my death? Of course not! Sin used what was good to bring about my condemnation to death. So we can see how terrible sin really is. It uses God's good commands for its own evil purposes.

14 So the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin.

15 I don't really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don't do it. Instead, I do what I hate.

16 But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good.

17 So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.

18 And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can't.

19 I want to do what is good, but I don't. I don't want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway.

20 But if I do what I don't want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.

21 I have discovered this principle of life-- that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong.

22 I love God's law with all my heart.

23 But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me.

24 Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?

25 Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God's law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.

1 Know ye not ^G50 ^V-PAI-2P , brethren ^G80 ^N-VPM , ( ^CONJ for ^CONJ I speak ^G2980 ^V-PAI-1S to them that know ^G1097 ^V-PAP-DPM the law ^G3551 ^N-ASM , ) how that ^G3754 ^CONJ the ^G3588 ^T-NSM law ^G3551 ^N-NSM hath dominion over ^G2961 ^V-PAI-3S a man ^G444 ^N-GSM as long as ^K-ASM he liveth ^G2198 ^V-PAI-3S ?

2 For ^G1063 ^CONJ the ^G3588 ^T-NSF woman ^G1135 ^N-NSF which hath an husband ^G5220 ^A-NSF is bound ^G1210 ^V-RPI-3S by the law ^G3551 ^N-DSM to her ^G3588 ^T-DSM husband ^G435 ^N-DSM so long as he liveth ^G2198 ^V-PAP-DSM ; but ^G1161 ^CONJ if ^G1437 ^COND the ^G3588 ^T-NSM husband ^G435 ^N-NSM be dead ^G599 ^V-2AAS-3S , she is loosed ^G2673 ^V-RPI-3S from ^G575 ^PREP the ^G3588 ^T-GSM law ^G3551 ^N-GSM of her husband ^G435 ^N-GSM .

3 So ^G686 ^PRT then ^G3767 ^CONJ if ^G1437 ^COND , while her husband ^G435 ^N-GSM liveth ^G2198 ^V-PAP-GSM , she be married ^G1096 ^V-2ADS-3S to another ^G2087 ^A-DSM man ^G435 ^N-DSM , she shall be called ^G5537 ^V-FAI-3S an adulteress ^G3428 ^N-NSF : but ^G1161 ^CONJ if ^G1437 ^COND her husband ^G435 ^N-NSM be dead ^G599 ^V-2AAS-3S , she is ^G2076 ^V-PXI-3S free ^G1658 ^A-NSF from ^G575 ^PREP that law ^G3551 ^N-GSM ; so that she ^G846 ^P-ASF is ^G1511 ^V-PXN no ^G3361 ^PRT-N adulteress ^G3428 ^N-ASF , though she be married ^G1096 ^V-2ADP-ASF to another ^G2087 ^A-DSM man ^G435 ^N-DSM .

4 Wherefore ^G5620 ^CONJ , my ^G3450 ^P-1GS brethren ^G80 ^N-VPM , ye ^G5210 ^P-2NP also ^G2532 ^CONJ are become dead ^G2289 ^V-API-2P to the ^G3588 ^T-DSM law ^G3551 ^N-DSM by ^G1223 ^PREP the ^G3588 ^T-GSN body ^G4983 ^N-GSN of Christ ^G5547 ^N-GSM ; that ^G3588 ^T-ASN ye ^G3588 ^T-ASN should be married ^G1096 ^V-2ADN to another ^G2087 ^A-DSM , even to him ^G3588 ^T-DSM who ^G3588 ^T-DSM is raised ^G1453 ^V-APP-DSM from ^G1537 ^PREP the dead ^G3498 ^A-GPM , that ^G2443 ^CONJ we ^G3588 ^T-DSM should bring forth fruit ^G2592 ^V-AAS-1P unto God ^G2316 ^N-DSM .

5 For ^G1063 ^CONJ when ^G3753 ^ADV we were ^G2258 in ^G1722 ^PREP the ^G3588 ^T-DSF flesh ^G4561 ^N-DSF , the ^G3588 ^T-NPN motions ^G3804 ^N-NPN of sins ^G266 ^N-GPF , which ^G3588 ^T-NPN were by ^G1223 ^PREP the ^G3588 ^T-GSM law ^G3551 ^N-GSM , did work ^G1754 ^V-IMI-3S in ^G1722 ^PREP our ^G3588 ^T-DPN members ^G3196 ^N-DPN to bring forth fruit ^G2592 ^V-AAN unto death ^G2288 ^N-DSM .

6 But ^G1161 ^CONJ now ^G3570 ^ADV we are delivered ^G2673 ^V-API-1P from ^G575 ^PREP the ^G3588 ^T-GSM law ^G3551 ^N-GSM , that being dead ^G599 ^V-2AAP-NPM wherein ^G1722 ^PREP we were held ^G2722 ^V-IPI-1P ; that ^G5620 ^CONJ we ^G2248 ^P-1AP should serve ^G1398 ^V-PAN in ^G1722 ^PREP newness ^G2538 ^N-DSF of spirit ^G4151 ^N-GSN , and ^G2532 ^CONJ not ^G3756 ^PRT-N in the oldness ^G3821 ^N-DSF of the letter ^G1121 ^N-GSN .

7 What ^G5101 ^I-ASN shall we say ^G2046 ^V-FAI-1P then ^G3767 ^CONJ ? Is the ^G3588 ^T-NSM law ^G3551 ^N-NSM sin ^G266 ^N-NSF ? God forbid ^G1096 ^V-2ADO-3S . Nay ^G235 ^CONJ , I had not ^G3756 ^PRT-N known ^G1097 ^V-2AAI-1S sin ^G266 ^N-ASF , but ^G1508 by ^G1223 ^PREP the law ^G3551 ^N-GSM : for ^G3588 ^T-ASF I had ^G5037 ^PRT not ^G3756 ^PRT-N known ^G1492 ^V-LAI-1S lust ^G1939 ^N-ASF , except ^G1508 the ^G3588 ^T-NSM law ^G3551 ^N-NSM had said ^G3004 ^V-IAI-3S , Thou shalt not ^G3756 ^PRT-N covet ^G1937 ^V-FAI-2S .

8 But ^G1161 ^CONJ sin ^G266 ^N-NSF , taking ^G2983 ^V-2AAP-NSF occasion ^G874 ^N-ASF by ^G1223 ^PREP the ^G3588 ^T-GSF commandment ^G1785 ^N-GSF , wrought ^G2716 ^V-ADI-3S in ^G1722 ^PREP me ^G1698 ^P-1DS all manner ^G3956 ^A-ASF of concupiscence ^G1939 ^N-ASF . For ^G1063 ^CONJ without ^G5565 ^ADV the law ^G3551 ^N-GSM sin ^G266 ^N-NSF was dead ^G3498 ^A-NSF .

9 For ^G1161 ^CONJ I ^G1473 ^P-1NS was alive ^G2198 ^V-IAI-1S without ^G5565 ^ADV the law ^G3551 ^N-GSM once ^G4218 ^PRT : but ^G1161 ^CONJ when the ^G3588 ^T-GSF commandment ^G1785 ^N-GSF came ^G2064 ^V-2AAP-GSF , sin ^G266 ^N-NSF revived ^G326 ^V-AAI-3S , and ^G1161 ^CONJ I ^G1473 ^P-1NS died ^G599 ^V-2AAI-1S .

10 And ^G2532 ^CONJ the ^G3588 ^T-NSF commandment ^G1785 ^N-NSF , which ^G3588 ^T-NSF was ordained to ^G1519 ^PREP life ^G2222 ^N-ASF , I ^G3427 ^P-1DS found ^G2147 ^V-API-3S to be ^D-NSF unto ^G3778 ^D-NSF death ^G2288 ^N-ASM .

11 For ^G1063 ^CONJ sin ^G266 ^N-NSF , taking ^G2983 ^V-2AAP-NSF occasion ^G874 ^N-ASF by ^G1223 ^PREP the ^G3588 ^T-GSF commandment ^G1785 ^N-GSF , deceived ^G1818 ^V-AAI-3S me ^G3165 ^P-1AS , and ^G2532 ^CONJ by ^G1223 ^PREP it ^G846 ^P-GSF slew ^G615 ^V-AAI-3S me .

12 Wherefore ^G5620 ^CONJ the ^G3588 ^T-NSM law ^G3551 ^N-NSM is holy ^G40 ^A-NSM , and ^G2532 ^CONJ the ^G3588 ^T-NSF commandment ^G1785 ^N-NSF holy ^G40 ^A-NSF , and ^G2532 ^CONJ just ^G1342 ^A-NSF , and ^G2532 ^CONJ good ^G18 ^A-NSF .

13 Was then ^G3767 ^CONJ that which is good ^G18 ^A-NSN made ^G1096 ^V-2RAI-3S death ^G2288 ^N-NSM unto me ^G1698 ^P-1DS ? God forbid ^G1096 ^V-2ADO-3S . But ^G235 ^CONJ sin ^G266 ^N-NSF , that ^G2443 ^CONJ it might appear ^G5316 ^V-2APS-3S sin ^G266 ^N-NSF , working ^G2716 ^V-PNP-NSF death ^G2288 ^N-ASM in me ^G3427 ^P-1DS by ^G1223 ^PREP that which is good ^G18 ^A-GSN ; that ^G3588 ^T-NSF sin ^G266 ^N-NSF by ^G1223 ^PREP the ^G3588 ^T-GSF commandment ^G1785 ^N-GSF might become ^G1096 ^V-2ADS-3S exceeding ^G2596 ^PREP sinful ^G268 ^A-NSF .

14 For ^G1063 ^CONJ we know ^G1492 ^V-RAI-1P that ^G3754 ^CONJ the ^G3588 ^T-NSM law ^G3551 ^N-NSM is ^G2076 ^V-PXI-3S spiritual ^G4152 ^A-NSM : but ^G1161 ^CONJ I ^G1473 ^P-1NS am ^G1510 ^V-PXI-1S carnal ^G4559 ^A-NSM , sold ^G4097 ^V-RPP-NSM under ^G5259 ^PREP sin ^G266 ^N-ASF .

15 For ^G1063 ^CONJ that which ^G3739 ^R-ASN I do ^G2716 ^V-PNI-1S I allow ^G1097 ^V-PAI-1S not ^G3756 ^PRT-N : for ^G1063 ^CONJ what ^G3739 ^R-ASN I would ^G2309 ^V-PAI-1S , that ^G5124 ^D-ASN do ^G4238 ^V-PAI-1S I not ^G3756 ^PRT-N ; but ^G235 ^CONJ what ^G3739 ^R-ASN I hate ^G3404 ^V-PAI-1S , that ^G5124 ^D-ASN do ^G4160 ^V-PAI-1S I .

16 If ^G1487 ^COND then ^G1161 ^CONJ I do ^G4160 ^V-PAI-1S that ^G5124 ^D-ASN which ^G3739 ^R-ASN I would ^G2309 ^V-PAI-1S not ^G3756 ^PRT-N , I consent ^G4852 ^V-PXI-1S unto the ^G3588 ^T-DSM law ^G3551 ^N-DSM that ^G3754 ^CONJ it is good ^G2570 ^A-NSM .

17 Now ^G3570 ^ADV then ^G1161 ^CONJ it is no more ^G3765 ^ADV I ^G1473 ^P-1NS that do ^G2716 ^V-PNI-1S it ^G846 ^P-ASN , but ^G235 ^CONJ sin ^G266 ^N-NSF that dwelleth ^G3611 ^V-PAP-NSF in ^G1722 ^PREP me ^G1698 ^P-1DS .

18 For ^G1063 ^CONJ I know ^G1492 ^V-RAI-1S that ^G3754 ^CONJ in ^G1722 ^PREP me ^G1698 ^P-1DS (that is ^G5123 , in ^G1722 ^PREP my ^G3588 ^T-DSF flesh ^G4561 ^N-DSF , ) dwelleth ^G3611 ^V-PAI-3S no ^G3756 ^PRT-N good thing ^G18 ^A-ASN : for ^G1063 ^CONJ to will ^G2309 ^V-PAN is present ^G3873 ^V-PNI-3S with me ^G3588 ^T-ASN ; but ^G1161 ^CONJ how to perform ^G2716 ^V-PNN that which is good ^G2570 ^A-ASN I find ^G2147 ^V-PAI-1S not ^G3756 ^PRT-N .

19 For ^G1063 ^CONJ the good ^G18 ^A-ASN that ^G3739 ^R-ASN I would ^G2309 ^V-PAI-1S I do ^G4160 ^V-PAI-1S not ^G3756 ^PRT-N : but ^G235 ^CONJ the evil ^G2556 ^A-ASN which ^G3739 ^R-ASN I would ^G2309 ^V-PAI-1S not ^G3756 ^PRT-N , that ^G5124 ^D-ASN I do ^G4238 ^V-PAI-1S .

20 Now ^G1161 ^CONJ if ^G1487 ^COND I ^G1473 ^P-1NS do ^G4160 ^V-PAI-1S that ^G5124 ^D-ASN I ^G3739 ^R-ASN would ^G2309 ^V-PAI-1S not ^G3756 ^PRT-N , it is no more ^G3765 ^ADV I ^G1473 ^P-1NS that do ^G2716 ^V-PNI-1S it ^G846 ^P-ASN , but ^G235 ^CONJ sin ^G266 ^N-NSF that dwelleth ^G3611 ^V-PAP-NSF in ^G1722 ^PREP me ^G1698 ^P-1DS .

21 I find ^G2147 ^V-PAI-1S then ^G686 ^PRT a law ^G3551 ^N-ASM , that , when I ^G3588 ^T-DSM would ^G2309 ^V-PAP-DSM do ^G4160 ^V-PAN good ^G2570 ^A-ASN , evil ^G2556 ^A-NSN is present ^G3873 ^V-PNI-3S with me ^G1698 ^P-1DS .

22 For ^G1063 ^CONJ I delight ^G4913 ^V-PNI-1S in the ^G3588 ^T-DSM law ^G3551 ^N-DSM of God ^G2316 ^N-GSM after ^G2596 ^PREP the ^G3588 ^T-ASM inward ^G2080 ^ADV man ^G444 ^N-ASM :

24 O wretched ^G5005 ^A-NSM man ^G444 ^N-NSM that I ^G1473 ^P-1NS am ! who ^G5101 ^I-NSM shall deliver ^G4506 ^V-FDI-3S me ^G3165 ^P-1AS from ^G1537 ^PREP the ^G3588 ^T-GSN body ^G4983 ^N-GSN of ^G3588 ^T-GSM this ^G3588 ^T-GSM death ^G2288 ^N-GSM ?

25 I ^G3588 ^T-DSM thank ^G2168 ^V-PAI-1S God ^G2316 ^N-DSM through ^G1223 ^PREP Jesus ^G2424 ^N-GSM Christ ^G5547 ^N-GSM our ^G3588 ^T-GSM Lord ^G2962 ^N-GSM .
