But *I* was alive without law once; but the commandment having come, sin revived, but *I* died.

Did then that which is good become death to me? Far be the thought. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death to me by that which is good; in order that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

For we know that the law is spiritual: but *I* am fleshly, sold under sin.

For that which I do, I do not own: for not what I will, this I do; but what I hate, this I practise.

But if what I do not will, this I practise, I consent to the law that [it is] right.

Now then [it is] no longer *I* [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me.

For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, good does not dwell: for to will is there with me, but to do right [I find] not.

For I do not practise the good that I will; but the evil I do not will, that I do.

But if what *I* do not will, this I practise, [it is] no longer *I* [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me.

but I see another law in my members, warring in opposition to the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which exists in my members.

I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then *I* *myself* with the mind serve God's law; but with the flesh sin's law.

in order that the righteous requirement of the law should be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to flesh but according to Spirit.

For the mind of the flesh [is] death; but the mind of the Spirit life and peace.

But *ye* are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed God's Spirit dwell in you; but if any one has not [the] Spirit of Christ *he* is not of him:

but if Christ be in you, the body is dead on account of sin, but the Spirit life on account of righteousness.

But if the Spirit of him that has raised up Jesus from among [the] dead dwell in you, he that has raised up Christ from among [the] dead shall quicken your mortal bodies also on account of his Spirit which dwells in you.

for if ye live according to flesh, ye are about to die; but if, by the Spirit, ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live:

For ye have not received a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye have received a spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

for the creature has been made subject to vanity, not of its will, but by reason of him who has subjected [the same], in hope

And not only [that], but even *we* ourselves, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, we also ourselves groan in ourselves, awaiting adoption, [that is] the redemption of our body.
