Romans 7

7 Are ye ignorant, brethren -- for to those knowing law I speak -- that the law hath lordship over the man as long as he liveth?

1Or do you not know, brothers – for I speak to those knowing the Torah – that the Torah rules over a man as long as he lives?

^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;

2For the married woman has been bound by Torah to the living husband, but if the husband dies, she is released from the Torah concerning her 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.

3So then, while her husband lives, she shall be called an adulteress if she becomes another man’s. But if her husband dies, she is free from that part of the Torah, so that she is not 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;

4So my brothers, you also were put to death to the Torah through the body of Messiah, for you to become another’s, the One who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to Elohim.

^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;

5For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins, through the Torah, were working in our members to bear fruit to 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.

6But now we have been released from the Torah, having died to what we were held by, so that we should 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:

7What, then, shall we say? Is the Torah sin? Let it not be! However, I did not know sin except through the Torah. For also the covetousness I knew not if the Torah had not said, “You shall not covet.”

^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.

8But sin, having taken the occasion through the command, did work in me all sorts of covetousness. For apart from Torah sin is dead.

^9 ^And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having come, the sin revived, and I died;

9And I was alive apart from the Torah once, but when the command came, 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.

12So that the Torah truly is set-apart, and the command set-apart, 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;

14For we know that the Torah is Spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under 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,

22For I delight in the Torah of ElohimSee Psa. 119:16 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.

23but I see another torah in my members, battling against the torah of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the torah of sin which 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.

25Thanks to Elohim, through יהושע Messiah our Master! So then, with the mind I myself truly serve the Torah of Elohim, but with the flesh the torah of sin.
