- 7:24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from this body of death? 21
- 7:19 I fail to do the good I want, and the evil I do not want is what I carry out. 12
- 7:14 We know that the law is spiritual. I, however, am made of flesh, and I have been sold to sin as its slave. 10
- 7:18 I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, there is nothing good living. Wanting the good is within my reach; doing it is not. 10
- 7:15 What I am doing makes no sense to me. The things I want to do, I fail to do; the things I hate are what I end up doing. 7
- 7:23 But I see another law in the parts of my body. It is at war with the law of my mind, and it takes me prisoner to the law of sin that is in those parts of my body. 7
- 7:21 This, then, is the law I discover: whenever I set out to do what is good, evil is already there at my side. 6
- 7:12 The law, then, is holy. The commandment is holy, just and good. 5
- 7:7 What then are we to say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! But it was the law that taught me what sin is. I would never have recognized wrong desire for what it is unless the law had said, "You shall not covet." 4
- 7:16 But if I do things I do not want to do, that shows I side with the law: I agree that it is good. 4
- 7:17 In that case, I am no longer the one doing it; sin is, the sin that has made its home in me. 4
- 7:22 In my inner self I gladly agree with God's law. 4
- 7:25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve God's law with my mind, but the law of sin with my flesh. 4
- 7:20 But if I do what I do not want, then I am no longer the one doing it; sin is, the sin that has made its home in me. 3
- 7:4 It is the same with you, my brothers and sisters. Through the body of Christ you were put to death as far as the law is concerned, so that you could be joined to another: to the one who was raised from the dead. And so we can bear fruit for God. 2
- 7:13 Did something good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! Sin was the cause. It used what was good to work death in me, so that sin would be seen for what it really is. Through the commandment sin showed itself sinful past all measure. 2
- 7:1 Surely you understand, brothers and sisters, since I am speaking to people who know the law, that the law is master over someone only while that person is alive. 1
- 7:6 But now we are free from the law. We have died to what once held us fast, so that we serve in the new life of the Spirit, not in the old life of the written letter. 1
- 7:8 Sin found its opening in the commandment and used it to rouse every kind of wrong desire in me, for without the law sin is dead. 1
- 7:9 There was a time when I lived without the law. Then the commandment arrived, sin woke up and came alive, 1
- 7:11 Sin found its opening in the commandment, deceived me, and used the commandment to kill me. 1
