< Romans 7 >

1 Remember ye not brethren (I speake to them yt know the lawe) how that the lawe hath power over a man as longe as it endureth?
BUT know you not, my brethren, for to those who know the law I speak, that the law has authority over a man as long as he liveth?
2 For the woman which is in subieccion to a man is bounde by the lawe to the man as longe as he liveth. Yf the man be deed she is lowsed from the lawe of the man.
as a woman who is bound in law to her husband as long as he liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is freed from the law of her husband.
3 So then yf whill the man liveth she couple her selfe with another man she shalbe counted a wedlocke breaker. But yf the man be deed she is fre fro the lawe: so that she is no wedlocke breaker though she couple her selfe with another man.
But if, while her husband lives, she adhere to another man, she becometh an adulteress; but if her husband shall die, she is freed from the law, and is not an adulteress, though she become (the wife) of another man.
4 Even so ye my brethren are deed concerninge the lawe by the body of Christ yt ye shuld be coupled to another (I meane to him that is rysen agayne fro deeth) that we shuld bringe forth frute vnto God.
And now, my brethren, you also are dead to the law, through the body of the Meshiha, that you should be married to another, (namely, to) him who rose from the dead, that you may render fruit unto Aloha.
5 For when we were in the flesshe the lustes of synne which were stered vppe by ye lawe raygned in oure membres to bringe forth frute vnto deeth.
For while we were in the flesh, the affections of sin, which are against the law, wrought powerfully in our members to yield fruits unto death;
6 But now are we delivered fro the lawe and deed fro that whervnto we werein bondage that we shuld serve in a newe conversacion of ye sprete and not in ye olde conversacion of the letter.
but now we are loosed from the law, and are dead to that which held us, that we might serve henceforth in the newness of the spirit, and not in the oldness of the writing.
7 What shall we saye then? is ye lawe synne? God forbid: but I knewe not what synne meant but by the lawe. For I had not knowne what lust had meant excepte the lawe had sayde thou shalt not lust.
What then, say we the law is sin? Not so. But sin I had not learned (to know) but by the law: for I had not known concupiscence (to be sinful), but (by) the law, which hath said, Thou shalt not covet.
8 But synne toke an occasion by the meanes of the commaundement and wrought in me all manner of concupiscece. For with out the lawe synne was deed.
And by this commandment sin found for itself an occasion, and completed in me all concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
9 I once lived with out lawe. But when the commaundement came synne revyved and I was deed.
But I was alive without the law formerly: but when the commandment came, sin lived, and I died.
10 And the very same comaundement which was ordeyned vnto lyfe was founde to be vnto me an occasion of deeth.
And that commandment of life was found to me (to tend) unto death.
11 For synne toke occasion by the meanes of the comaundement and so disceaved me and by the selfe commaundement slewe we.
For sin, by the occasion it found through the commandment, deceived me, and thereby killed me.
12 Wherfore the lawe is holy and the commaundement holy iust and good.
The law therefore is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
13 Was that then which is good made deeth vnto me? God forbyd. Naye synne was deeth vnto me that it myght appere how that synne by the meanes of that which is good had wrought deeth in me: that synne which is vnder the commandemet myght be out of measure synfull.
The good, then, unto me, unto death was made? Not so. But sin, that it might be seen what sin is, by the good (law) effected death in me, that sin might be the more condemned by the commandment.
14 For we knowe that the lawe is spirituall: but I am carnall solde vnder synne
For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, and sold unto sin.
15 because I wote not what I doo. For what I wold that do I not: but what I hate that do I.
For what I work, I know not; and not that which I will, I do; but what I hate, that I do.
16 Yf I do now that which I wolde not I graute to the lawe that it is good.
And if the thing that I would not, I do, I witness of the law that it is good.
17 So then nowe it is not I that do it but synne that dwelleth in me.
But now it is not I who work this, but sin which dwelleth in me.
18 For I knowe that in me (that is to saye in my flesshe) dwelleth no good thinge. To will is present with me: but I fynde no meanes to performe that which is good.
For I know that in me, but that is in my flesh, good dwelleth not; because to will the good is easy to me, but to perform it I find not.
19 For I doo not yt good thinge which I wold: but that evill do I which I wolde not.
For the good that I will to do, I do not; but the evil that I will not to do, that do I.
20 Finally yf I do that I wolde not then is it not I that doo it but synne that dwelleth in me doeth it.
And if the thing that I will not I do, it is not I who do it, but sin which dwelleth in me.
21 I fynde then by the lawe that when I wolde do good evyll is present with me.
I find then a law which accordeth with my mind, that willeth to do good, because evil is near to me.
22 I delite in the lawe of God concerninge the inner man.
For I rejoice in the law of Aloha in the interior man;
23 But I se another lawe in my membres rebellinge agaynst the lawe of my mynde and subduynge me vnto the lawe of synne which is in my membres.
but I see another law in my members, which warreth against the law of my mind, making me captive to the law of sin that is in my members.
24 O wretched man yt I am: who shall delyver me fro this body of deeth?
25 I thanke God thorow Iesus Christ oure Lorde. So then I my silfe in my mynde serve the lawe of God and in my flesshe the lawe of synne.
I give thanks to Aloha! (it is) by the hand of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. Now then, I in my mind am the servant of the law of Aloha, but in my flesh I am the servant of the law of sin.
