1Do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?1 ἀγνοεῖτε ἀδελφοί γινώσκουσιν γὰρ νόμον λαλῶ ὅτι νόμος κυριεύει τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐφ’ ὅσον χρόνον ζῇ
2For instance, a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.2 γὰρ ὕπανδρος γυνὴ τῷ ζῶντι ἀνδρὶ δέδεται νόμῳ ἐὰν δὲ ἀποθάνῃ ἀνήρ κατήργηται ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου τοῦ ἀνδρός
3So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law and is not an adulteress, even if she marries another man.3ἄρα οὖν ζῶντος τοῦ ἀνδρὸς μοιχαλὶς χρηματίσει ἐὰν γένηται ἀνδρὶ ἑτέρῳ ἐὰν δὲ ἀποθάνῃ ἀνήρ ἐλευθέρα ἐστὶν ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου τοῦ μὴ εἶναι αὐτὴν μοιχαλίδα γενομένην ἀνδρὶ ἑτέρῳ
4Therefore, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.4Ὥστε ἀδελφοί μου καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐθανατώθητε τῷ νόμῳ διὰ τοῦ σώματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ εἰς τὸ γενέσθαι ὑμᾶς ἑτέρῳ τῷ ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐγερθέντι ἵνα καρποφορήσωμεν τῷ Θεῷ
5For when we lived according to the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, bearing fruit for death.5ὅτε γὰρ ἦμεν ἐν τῇ σαρκί τὰ παθήματα τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν τὰ διὰ τοῦ νόμου ἐνηργεῖτο ἐν τοῖς μέλεσιν ἡμῶν εἰς τὸ καρποφορῆσαι τῷ θανάτῳ
6But now, having died to what bound us, we have been released from the law, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.6νυνὶ δὲ κατηργήθημεν ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου ἀποθανόντες ἐν κατειχόμεθα ὥστε δουλεύειν ἡμᾶς ἐν καινότητι πνεύματος καὶ οὐ παλαιότητι γράμματος
7What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the law. For I would not have been aware of coveting if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”7Τί οὖν ἐροῦμεν νόμος ἁμαρτία μὴ γένοιτο ἀλλὰ τὴν ἁμαρτίαν οὐκ ἔγνων εἰ μὴ διὰ νόμου τήν τε γὰρ ἐπιθυμίαν οὐκ ᾔδειν εἰ μὴ νόμος ἔλεγεν Οὐκ ἐπιθυμήσεις
8But sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead.8ἀφορμὴν δὲ λαβοῦσα ἁμαρτία διὰ τῆς ἐντολῆς κατειργάσατο ἐν ἐμοὶ πᾶσαν ἐπιθυμίαν χωρὶς γὰρ νόμου ἁμαρτία νεκρά
9Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.9Ἐγὼ δὲ ἔζων χωρὶς νόμου ποτέ ἐλθούσης δὲ τῆς ἐντολῆς ἁμαρτία ἀνέζησεν ἐγὼ δὲ ἀπέθανον
10So I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life actually brought death.10καὶ εὑρέθη μοι ἐντολὴ εἰς ζωὴν αὕτη εἰς θάνατον
11For sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through the commandment put me to death.11 γὰρ ἁμαρτία ἀφορμὴν λαβοῦσα διὰ τῆς ἐντολῆς ἐξηπάτησέν με καὶ δι’ αὐτῆς ἀπέκτεινεν
12So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.12Ὥστε μὲν νόμος ἅγιος καὶ ἐντολὴ ἁγία καὶ δικαία καὶ ἀγαθή
13Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But in order that sin might be exposed as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.13Τὸ οὖν ἀγαθὸν ἐμοὶ ἐγένετο θάνατος μὴ γένοιτο ἀλλὰ ἁμαρτία ἵνα φανῇ ἁμαρτία διὰ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ μοι κατεργαζομένη θάνατον ἵνα γένηται καθ’ ὑπερβολὴν ἁμαρτωλὸς ἁμαρτία διὰ τῆς ἐντολῆς
14We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.14Οἴδαμεν γὰρ ὅτι νόμος πνευματικός ἐστιν ἐγὼ δὲ σάρκινός εἰμι πεπραμένος ὑπὸ τὴν ἁμαρτίαν
15I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do. But what I hate, I do.15 γὰρ κατεργάζομαι οὐ γινώσκω οὐ γὰρ θέλω τοῦτο πράσσω ἀλλ’ μισῶ τοῦτο ποιῶ
16And if I do what I do not want to do, I admit that the law is good.16εἰ δὲ οὐ θέλω τοῦτο ποιῶ σύμφημι τῷ νόμῳ ὅτι καλός
17In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.17νυνὶ δὲ οὐκέτι ἐγὼ κατεργάζομαι αὐτὸ ἀλλὰ οἰκοῦσα* ἐν ἐμοὶ ἁμαρτία
18I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.18Οἶδα γὰρ ὅτι οὐκ οἰκεῖ ἐν ἐμοί τοῦτ’ ἔστιν ἐν τῇ σαρκί μου ἀγαθόν τὸ γὰρ θέλειν παράκειταί μοι τὸ δὲ κατεργάζεσθαι τὸ καλὸν οὔ
19For I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I keep on doing the evil I do not want to do.19οὐ γὰρ θέλω ποιῶ ἀγαθόν ἀλλὰ οὐ θέλω κακὸν τοῦτο πράσσω
20And if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.20εἰ δὲ οὐ θέλω ἐγὼ τοῦτο ποιῶ οὐκέτι ἐγὼ κατεργάζομαι αὐτὸ ἀλλὰ οἰκοῦσα ἐν ἐμοὶ ἁμαρτία
21So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.21Εὑρίσκω ἄρα τὸν νόμον τῷ θέλοντι ἐμοὶ ποιεῖν τὸ καλὸν ὅτι ἐμοὶ τὸ κακὸν παράκειται
22For in my inner being I delight in God’s law.22συνήδομαι γὰρ τῷ νόμῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ κατὰ τὸν ἔσω ἄνθρωπον
23But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me.23βλέπω δὲ ἕτερον νόμον ἐν τοῖς μέλεσίν μου ἀντιστρατευόμενον τῷ νόμῳ τοῦ νοός μου καὶ αἰχμαλωτίζοντά με ἐν τῷ νόμῳ τῆς ἁμαρτίας τῷ ὄντι ἐν τοῖς μέλεσίν μου
24What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?24Ταλαίπωρος ἐγὼ ἄνθρωπος τίς με ῥύσεται ἐκ τοῦ σώματος τοῦ θανάτου τούτου
25Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.25χάρις [δὲ] τῷ Θεῷ διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἄρα οὖν αὐτὸς ἐγὼ τῷ μὲν νοῒ δουλεύω νόμῳ Θεοῦ τῇ δὲ σαρκὶ νόμῳ ἁμαρτίας
