7:1  Or do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to ones knowing the Law), that the Law lords-over the person for as much time as he lives?
7:2  For the married woman has been bound by the Law to the living husband; but if the husband dies, she has been released from the law of  the husband.
7:3  So then, while the husband is living, she will be called an adulteress if she comes to a different husband. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress, having come to a different husband.
7:4  So-then, my brothers, you also were put-to-death with reference to the Law through the body of Christ so that you might come to a different One— to the One having arisen from the dead— in order that we might bear-fruit for God.
7:5  For when we were in the flesh, the passions of  sins which were through the Law were at-work in our body-parts so as to bear-fruit for death.
7:6  But now we were released from the Law, having died to that by which we were being held, so that we are serving in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.
7:7  Therefore, what shall we say? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On-the-contrary, I would not have known sin except through the Law. For indeed I would not have known coveting if the Law were not saying [in Ex 20:17], “You shall not covet”.
7:8  But sin, having taken an opportunity through the commandment, produced every [kind of ] coveting in me. For apart-from the Law, sin is dead.
7:9  And I was once alive apart from the Law. But the commandment having come, sin became-alive
7:10  and I died. And the commandment for life— this was found in me to be for death.
7:11  For sin, having taken an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it, killed me.
7:12  So-then the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.
7:13  Therefore did the good thing become death for me? May it never be! On the contrary, it was sin, in order that it might become-visible as sin while producing death in me through the good thing, in order that sin might become extremely sinful through the commandment.
7:14  For we know that the Law is spiritual. But I am made-of-flesh, having been sold under sin.
7:15  For I do not understand what I am producing. For I am not practicing this which I am wanting, but I am doing this which I am hating.
7:16  But if I am doing this which I am not wanting, I am agreeing-with the Law— that it is good.
7:17  And now I am no longer producing it, but the sin dwelling in me is.
7:18  For I know that good does not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh. For the wanting is present in me, but the producing the good is not.
7:19  For I am not doing the good which I am wanting, but I am practicing this evil which I am not wanting.
7:20  But if I am doing this which I am not wanting, I am no longer producing it, but the sin dwelling in me is.
7:21  I find then the law in me, the one wanting to do the good, that the evil is present in me.
7:22  For I am rejoicing-with the Law of God according-to the inner person.
7:23  But I am seeing a different law in my body-parts waging-war-against the law of my mind, and taking me captive under the law of sin existing in my body-parts.
7:24  I am a wretched person! Who will deliver me from this body of  death?
7:25  But thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself am serving the Law of God with the mind, but the law of sin with the flesh.
