Romans 7:1 (AMP) Amplified Bibles

1 DO YOU not know, brethren--for I am speaking to men who are acquainted with the Law--that legal claims have power over a person only for as long as he is alive?
2 For instance a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives; but if her husband dies, she is loosed and discharged from the law concerning her husband.
3 Accordingly, she will be held an adulteress if she unites herself to another man while her husband lives. But if her husband dies, the marriage law no longer is binding on her she is free from that law; and if she unites herself to another man, she is not an adulteress.
4 Likewise, my brethren, you have undergone death as to the Law through the crucified body of Christ, so that now you may belong to Another, to Him Who was raised from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God.
5 When we were living in the flesh (mere physical lives), the sinful passions that were awakened and aroused up by what the Law makes sin were constantly operating in our natural powers (in our bodily organs, in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh), so that we bore fruit for death.
6 But now we are discharged from the Law and have terminated all intercourse with it, having died to what once restrained and held us captive. So now we serve not under obedience to the old code of written regulations, but under obedience to the promptings of the Spirit in newness of life.
7 What then do we conclude? Is the Law identical with sin? Certainly not! Nevertheless, if it had not been for the Law, I should not have recognized sin or have known its meaning. For instance I would not have known about covetousness would have had no consciousness of sin or sense of guilt if the Law had not repeatedly said, You shall not covet and have an evil desire for one thing and another. Exod. 20:17; Deut. 5:21.
8 But sin, finding opportunity in the commandment to express itself, got a hold on me and aroused and stimulated all kinds of forbidden desires (lust, covetousness). For without the Law sin is dead the sense of it is inactive and a lifeless thing.
9 Once I was alive, but quite apart from and unconscious of the Law. But when the commandment came, sin lived again and I died (was sentenced by the Law to death). Ps. 73:22.
10 And the very legal ordinance which was designed and intended to bring life actually proved to mean to me death. Lev. 18:5.
11 For sin, seizing the opportunity and getting a hold on me by taking its incentive from the commandment, beguiled and entrapped and cheated me, and using it as a weapon, killed me.
12 The Law therefore is holy, and each commandment is holy and just and good.
13 Did that which is good then prove fatal bringing death to me? Certainly not! It was sin, working death in me by using this good thing as a weapon, in order that through the commandment sin might be shown up clearly to be sin, that the extreme malignity and immeasurable sinfulness of sin might plainly appear.
14 We know that the Law is spiritual; but I am a creature of the flesh carnal, unspiritual, having been sold into slavery under the control of sin.
15 For I do not understand my own actions I am baffled, bewildered. I do not practice or accomplish what I wish, but I do the very thing that I loathe which my moral instinct condemns.
16 Now if I do habitually what is contrary to my desire, that means that I acknowledge and agree that the Law is good (morally excellent) and that I take sides with it.
17 However, it is no longer I who do the deed, but the sin principle which is at home in me and has possession of me.
18 For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot perform it. I have the intention and urge to do what is right, but no power to carry it out.
19 For I fail to practice the good deeds I desire to do, but the evil deeds that I do not desire to do are what I am ever doing.
20 Now if I do what I do not desire to do, it is no longer I doing it it is not myself that acts, but the sin principle which dwells within me fixed and operating in my soul.
21 So I find it to be a law (rule of action of my being) that when I want to do what is right and good, evil is ever present with me and I am subject to its insistent demands.
22 For I endorse and delight in the Law of God in my inmost self with my new nature. Ps. 1:2.
23 But I discern in my bodily members in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh a different law (rule of action) at war against the law of my mind (my reason) and making me a prisoner to the law of sin that dwells in my bodily organs in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh.
24 O unhappy and pitiable and wretched man that I am! Who will release and deliver me from the shackles of this body of death?
25 O thank God! He will! through Jesus Christ (the Anointed One) our Lord! So then indeed I, of myself with the mind and heart, serve the Law of God, but with the flesh the law of 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 :
23 But G1161 CONJ I see G991 V-PAI-1S another G2087 A-ASM law G3551 N-ASM in G1722 PREP my G3588 T-DPN members G3196 N-DPN , warring against G497 V-PNP-ASM the G3588 T-DSM law G3551 N-DSM of G3588 T-GSM my G3588 T-GSM mind G3563 N-GSM , and G2532 CONJ bringing me into captivity G163 V-PAP-ASM to the G3588 T-DSM law G3551 N-DSM of G3588 T-DSM sin G266 N-GSF which is G5607 V-PXP-DSM in G1722 PREP my G3588 T-DPN members G3196 N-DPN .
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 . So G686 PRT then G3767 CONJ with the G3588 T-DSM mind G3563 N-DSM I G1473 P-1NS myself G848 serve G1398 V-PAI-1S the law G3551 N-DSM of G3588 T-DSF God G2316 N-GSM ; but G1161 CONJ with the G3588 T-GSM flesh G4561 N-DSF the law G3551 N-DSM of sin G266 N-GSF .
