Romans 7:8–16

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Was 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.
For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

7:7What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

7:8But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.

Selected passage

7:9For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

Selected passage

7:10And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.

Selected passage

7:11For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

Selected passage

7:12Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

Selected passage

7:13Was 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.

Selected passage

7:14For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

Selected passage

7:15For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

Selected passage

7:16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

Selected passage

7:17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

7:18For 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.

7:19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

7:20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

7:21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

7:22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

7:23But 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.

7:24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

7:25I 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.
