[7] What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, not known sin, by the law: for not known lust, the law not covet. [8] But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in all manner of concupiscence. For 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, which was ordained to life, found to be unto death. [11] For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived and by it slew [12] Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. [13] Was then that which is good made death God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. [14] For we know that the law spiritual: but I am sold under sin. [15] For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, do I not; but what I hate, do I. [16] If then I do which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. [17] Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in [18] For I know that in flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present but how to perform that which is good not. [19] For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, I do. [20] Now if I do I would not, I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in [21] I find then a law, that, would do good, evil is present [22] For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: [23] But I see another law in members, warring against the law mind, and into captivity to the law of sin which in members. [24] O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver from the body death? [25] God through Jesus Christ Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
