1 Fellow believers, don't you know (for I speak to those who know the law,) how that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?
2 For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he lives; but if the husband is dead, she is set free from the law of her husband.
3 So then if, while her husband lives, she is married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband is dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
4 In the same way, my brothers, you also have become dead to the law by the Body of Christ; into your joining to Another, Who is arisen from the dead so that we would bear the fruit of God.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the affliction of wandering from the path that leads to Life, which was aroused by the law, was operating in the members of our bodies progressing toward bearing the fruit of death.
6 But now we are delivered from the Law so that, being dead in which we were held, we should serve in newness of Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.
7 What shall we say then? Is the law wandering from the path that leads to Life? God forbid. No, I had not known wandering from the path that leads to Life except by the Law, for I had not known the desire for forbidden things if the Law had not said, "You shall not covet."
8 But wandering, taking occasion by the Commandment, worked every kind of desire for forbidden things in me.  For without the Law wandering was dead.
9 For I was alive without the Law once, but when the Commandment came, wandering revived, and I died.
10 And the Commandment, which was ordained to genuine and absolute fullness of life, I found to be proceeding into death.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me.
12 Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, just, and good.
13 Was then that which is good made death to me? God forbid. But wandering, so that it might appear as wandering from the path that leads to Life, working death in me by that which is good so that, by the Commandment, wandering from the path that leads to Life might be exceedingly wicked.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold as a slave under wandering from the path.
15 For I don't understand what I do, for I don't do what I desire to do, but I do what I hate.
16 If then I do those things that I don't desire to do, I consent to the Law that it is good.
17 Now then it is no longer I who is doing it, but sin, which dwells in me.
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwells no good thing, for to desire to do good is present with me, but I don't find a way to perform that which is good.
19 For I don't do the good that I desire to do, but I do the evil which I desire not to do.
20 Now if I do that which I desire not to do, it's no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me that is doing it.
21 I find then a law, that, when I desire to do good, evil is present with me.
22 For I delight in the Law of God after the inward man,
23 but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of wandering from the path that leads to Life which is in my members.
24 Oh afflicted person that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25 I thank God because of Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the Law of God, but with the flesh the law of wandering from the path that leads to Life.

Young's Literal


1 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 if, 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 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 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 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, 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.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16 If then I do that 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 me.
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but [how] to perform that which is good I find not.
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

King James Version


1 Are ye ignorant, brethren -- for to those knowing law I speak -- that the law hath lordship over the man as long as he liveth?
2 for the married woman to the living husband hath been bound by law, and if the husband may die, she hath been free from the law of the husband;
3 so, then, the husband being alive, an adulteress she shall be called if she may become another man's; and if the husband may die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, having become another man's.
4 So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another's, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God;
5 for when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins, that [are] through the law, were working in our members, to bear fruit to the death;
6 and now we have ceased from the law, that being dead in which we were held, so that we may serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.
7 What, then, shall we say? the law [is] sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:
8 'Thou shalt not covet;' and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness -- for apart from law sin is dead.
9 And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having come, the sin revived, and I died;
10 and the command that [is] for life, this was found by me for death;
11 for the sin, having received an opportunity, through the command, did deceive me, and through it did slay [me];
12 so that the law, indeed, [is] holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.
13 That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command,
14 for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;
15 for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do.
16 And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that [it is] good,
17 and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me,
18 for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find,
19 for the good that I will, I do not; but the evil that I do not will, this I practise.
20 And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me.
21 I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is right, with me the evil is present,
22 for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,
23 and I behold another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of the sin that [is] in my members.
24 A wretched man I [am]! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?
25 I thank God -- through Jesus Christ our Lord; so then, I myself indeed with the mind do serve the law of God, and with the flesh, the law of sin.
