10And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
11For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
12Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
13Was 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.
14For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
18For 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.
19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23But 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.
24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25I 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.
10And the commandement which was ordained to life, I found to be vnto death.
11For sinne taking occasion by the commandement, deceiued me, and by it slew me.
12Wherefore the Law is holy, and the Commandement holy, and iust, and good.
13Was that then which is good, made death vnto me? God forbid. But sinne, that it might appeare sinne, working death in mee by that which is good: that sinne by the Commaundement might become exceeding sinfull.
14For wee know that the Law is spirituall: but I am carnall, sold vnder sinne.
15For that which I do, I †allow not: for what I would, that do I not, but what I hate, that doe I.
16If then I doe that which I would not, I consent vnto the Law, that it is good.
17Now then, it is no more I that doe it: but sinne that dwelleth in me.
18For I know, that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing. For to will is present with me: but how to performe that which is good, I find not.
19For the good that I would, I do not: but the euill which I would not, that I doe.
20Now if I doe that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sinne that dwelleth in me.
21I find then a Law, that when I would do good, euil is present with me.
22For I delight in the Lawe of God, after the inward man.
23But I see another Lawe in my members, warring against the Lawe of my minde, and bringing me into captiuity to the Law of sinne, which is in my members.
24O wretched man that I am: who shall deliuer me from ‖the body of this death?

25And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
26These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
27But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
20But ye haue an vnction from the holy One, and ye know all things.
21I haue not written vnto you, because yee know not the trueth: but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the trueth.
22Who is a lier, but hee that denieth that Iesus is the Christ? hee is Antichrist, that denyeth the Father, and the Sonne.
23Whosoeuer denieth the Sonne, the same hath not the Father: but he that acknowledgeth the Sonne, hath the Father also.
24Let that therefore abide in you which yee haue heard from the beginning: if that which ye haue heard from the beginning shall remaine in you, yee also shall continue in the Sonne, and in the Father.
25And this is the promise that hee hath promised vs, euen eternall life.
26These things haue I written vnto you, concerning them that seduce you.
27But the anointing which ye haue receiued of him, abideth in you: and yee need not that any man teach you: But, as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is trueth, and is no lye: and euen as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in ‖him.
