WEB·Romans 7

¹Or don’t you know, brothers (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man for as long as he lives?

KJV^G2228 Know ye not^G50^(G5719), brethren^G80,(for^G1063 I speak^G2980^(G5719) to them that know^G1097^(G5723) the law^G3551,) how that^G3754 the law^G3551 hath dominion over^G2961^(G5719) a man^G444 as long as^G1909^G3745^G5550 he liveth^G2198^(G5719)?

² For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.

KJVFor^G1063 the woman^G1135 which hath an husband^G5220 is bound^G1210^(G5769) by the law^G3551 to her husband^G435 so long as he liveth^G2198^(G5723); but^G1161 if^G1437 the husband^G435 be dead^G599^(G5632), she is loosed^G2673^(G5769) from^G575 the law^G3551 of her husband^G435.

³ So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.

KJVSo then^G686^G3767 if^G1437, while her husband^G435 liveth^G2198^(G5723), she be married^G1096^(G5638) to another^G2087 man^G435, she shall be called^G5537^(G5692) an adulteress^G3428: but^G1161 if^G1437 her husband^G435 be dead^G599^(G5632), she is^G2076^(G5748) free^G1658 from^G575 that law^G3551; so that she^G846 is^G1511^(G5750) no^G3361 adulteress^G3428, though she be married^G1096^(G5637) to another^G2087 man^G435.

⁴ Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might produce fruit to God.

KJVWherefore^G5620, my^G3450 brethren^G80, ye^G5210 also^G2532 are become dead^G2289^(G5681) to the law^G3551 by^G1223 the body^G4983 of Christ^G5547; that^G1519 ye^G5209 should be married^G1096^(G5635) to another^G2087, even to him who is raised^G1453^(G5685) from^G1537 the dead^G3498, that^G2443 we should bring forth fruit^G2592^(G5661) unto God^G2316.

⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law worked in our members to bring out fruit to death.

KJVFor^G1063 when^G3753 we were^G2258^(G5713) in^G1722 the flesh^G4561, the motions^G3804 of sins^G266, which^G3588 were by^G1223 the law^G3551, did work^G1754^(G5710) in^G1722 our^G2257 members^G3196 to bring^G1519 forth fruit^G2592^(G5658) unto death^G2288.

⁶ But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

KJVBut^G1161 now^G3570 we are delivered^G2673^(G5681) from^G575 the law^G3551, that being dead^G599^(G5631)^(G5625)^G599^(G5631) wherein^G1722^G3739 we were held^G2722^(G5712); that^G5620 we^G2248 should serve^G1398^(G5721) in^G1722 newness^G2538 of spirit^G4151, and^G2532 not^G3756 in the oldness^G3821 of the letter^G1121.

⁷ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”

KJVWhat^G5101 shall we say^G2046^(G5692) then^G3767? Is the law^G3551 sin^G266? God forbid^G3361^G1096^(G5636). Nay^G235, I had^G1097 not^G3756 known^G1097^(G5627) sin^G266, but^G1508 by^G1223 the law^G3551: for^G1063^G5037 I had^G1492 not^G3756 known^G1492^(G5715) lust^G1939, except^G1508 the law^G3551 had said^G3004^(G5707), Thou shalt^G1937 not^G3756 covet^G1937^(G5692).

⁸ But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

KJVBut^G1161 sin^G266, taking^G2983^(G5631) occasion^G874 by^G1223 the commandment^G1785, wrought^G2716^(G5662) in^G1722 me^G1698 all manner of^G3956 concupiscence^G1939. For^G1063 without^G5565 the law^G3551 sin^G266 was dead^G3498.

⁹ I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.

KJVFor^G1161 I^G1473 was alive^G2198^(G5707) without^G5565 the law^G3551 once^G4218: but^G1161 when the commandment^G1785 came^G2064^(G5631), sin^G266 revived^G326^(G5656), and^G1161 I^G1473 died^G599^(G5627).

¹⁰ The commandment which was for life, this I found to be for death;

KJVAnd^G2532 the commandment^G1785, which^G3588 was ordained to^G1519 life^G2222, I^G3427 found^G2147^(G5681)^G3778 to be unto^G1519 death^G2288.

¹¹ for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.

KJVFor^G1063 sin^G266, taking^G2983^(G5631) occasion^G874 by^G1223 the commandment^G1785, deceived^G1818^(G5656) me^G3165, and^G2532 by^G1223 it^G846 slew^G615^(G5656) me.

¹² Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, righteous, and good.

KJVWherefore^G5620^G3303 the law^G3551 is holy^G40, and^G2532 the commandment^G1785 holy^G40, and^G2532 just^G1342, and^G2532 good^G18.

¹³ Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, was producing death in me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceedingly sinful.

KJVWas then^G3767 that which is good^G18 made^G1096^(G5754) death^G2288 unto me^G1698? God forbid^G3361^G1096^(G5636). But^G235 sin^G266, that^G2443 it might appear^G5316^(G5652) sin^G266, working^G2716^(G5740) death^G2288 in me^G3427 by^G1223 that which is good^G18; that^G2443 sin^G266 by^G1223 the commandment^G1785 might become^G1096^(G5638) exceeding^G2596^G5236 sinful^G268.

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

KJVFor^G1063 we know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 the law^G3551 is^G2076^(G5748) spiritual^G4152: but^G1161 I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) carnal^G4559, sold^G4097^(G5772) under^G5259 sin^G266.

¹⁵ For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

KJVFor^G1063 that which^G3739 I do^G2716^(G5736) I allow^G1097^(G5719) not^G3756: for^G1063 what^G3739 I would^G2309^(G5719), that^G5124 do I^G4238^(G5719) not^G3756; but^G235 what^G3739 I hate^G3404^(G5719), that^G5124 do I^G4160^(G5719).

¹⁶ But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.

KJVIf^G1487 then^G1161 I do^G4160^(G5719) that^G5124 which^G3739 I would^G2309^(G5719) not^G3756, I consent^G4852^(G5748) unto the law^G3551 that^G3754 it is good^G2570.

¹⁷ So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

KJVNow^G3570 then^G1161 it is no more^G3765 I^G1473 that do^G2716^(G5736) it^G846, but^G235 sin^G266 that dwelleth^G3611^(G5723) in^G1722 me^G1698.

¹⁸ For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good.

KJVFor^G1063 I know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 in^G1722 me^G1698(that is^G5123^(G5748), in^G1722 my^G3450 flesh^G4561,) dwelleth^G3611^(G5719) no^G3756 good thing^G18: for^G1063 to will^G2309^(G5721) is present^G3873^(G5736) with me^G3427; but^G1161 how to perform^G2716^(G5738) that which is good^G2570 I find^G2147^(G5719) not^G3756.

¹⁹ For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practice.

KJVFor^G1063^G3739 the good^G18 that I would^G2309^(G5719) I do^G4160^(G5719) not^G3756: but^G235 the evil^G2556 which^G3739 I would^G2309^(G5719) not^G3756, that^G5124 I do^G4238^(G5719).

²⁰ But if what I don’t desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

KJVNow^G1161 if^G1487^G3739 I do^G4160^(G5719) that^G5124 I^G1473 would^G2309^(G5719) not^G3756, it is no more^G2089^G3765 I^G1473 that do^G2716^(G5736) it^G846, but^G235 sin^G266 that dwelleth^G3611^(G5723) in^G1722 me^G1698.

²¹ I find then the law that, while I desire to do good, evil is present.

KJVI find^G2147^(G5719) then^G686 a law^G3551, that^G3754, when I^G1698 would^G2309^(G5723) do^G4160^(G5721) good^G2570, evil^G2556 is present^G3873^(G5736) with me^G1698.

²² For I delight in God’s law after the inward person,

KJVFor^G1063 I delight^G4913^(G5736) in the law^G3551 of God^G2316 after^G2596 the inward^G2080 man^G444:

²³ but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.

KJVBut^G1161 I see^G991^(G5719) another^G2087 law^G3551 in^G1722 my^G3450 members^G3196, warring against^G497^(G5740) the law^G3551 of my^G3450 mind^G3563, and^G2532 bringing^G163 me^G3165 into captivity^G163^(G5723) to the law^G3551 of sin^G266 which^G3588 is^G5607^(G5752) in^G1722 my^G3450 members^G3196.

²⁴ What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

KJVO wretched^G5005 man^G444 that I am^G1473! who^G5101 shall deliver^G4506^(G5695) me^G3165 from^G1537 the body^G4983 of this^G5127 death^G2288?

²⁵ I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord! So then with the mind, I myself serve God’s law, but with the flesh, sin’s law.

KJVI thank^G2168^(G5719) God^G2316 through^G1223 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 our^G2257 Lord^G2962. So then^G686^G3767 with the mind^G3563 I^G1473 myself^G846 serve^G3303^G1398^(G5719) the law^G3551 of God^G2316; but^G1161 with the flesh^G4561 the law^G3551 of sin^G266.

WEB·Romans 6

¹What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

KJVWhat^G5101 shall we say^G2046^(G5692) then^G3767? Shall we continue^G1961^(G5692) in sin^G266, that^G2443 grace^G5485 may abound^G4121^(G5661)?

² May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?

KJVGod forbid^G3361^G1096^(G5636). How^G4459 shall we, that^G3748 are dead^G599^(G5627) to sin^G266, live^G2198^(G5692) any longer^G2089 therein^G1722^G846?

³ Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

KJV^G2228 Know ye not^G50^(G5719), that so^G3754 many of us^G3745 as were baptized^G907^(G5681) into^G1519 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 were baptized^G907^(G5681) into^G1519 his^G846 death^G2288?

⁴ We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

KJVTherefore^G3767 we are buried with^G4916^(G5648) him^G846 by^G1223 baptism^G908 into^G1519 death^G2288: that^G2443 like as^G5618 Christ^G5547 was raised up^G1453^(G5681) from^G1537 the dead^G3498 by^G1223 the glory^G1391 of the Father^G3962, even so^G3779 we^G2249 also^G2532 should walk^G4043^(G5661) in^G1722 newness^G2538 of life^G2222.

⁵ For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;

KJVFor^G1063 if^G1487 we have been^G1096^(G5754) planted together^G4854 in the likeness^G3667 of his^G846 death^G2288, we shall be^G2071^(G5704) also^G235^G2532 in the likeness of his resurrection^G386:

⁶ knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.

KJVKnowing^G1097^(G5723) this^G5124, that^G3754 our^G2257 old^G3820 man^G444 is crucified with^G4957^(G5681) him, that^G2443 the body^G4983 of sin^G266 might be destroyed^G2673^(G5686), that henceforth^G3371 we^G2248 should^G1398 not^G3371 serve^G1398^(G5721) sin^G266.

⁷ For he who has died has been freed from sin.

KJVFor^G1063 he that is dead^G599^(G5631) is freed^G1344^(G5769) from^G575 sin^G266.

⁸ But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,

KJVNow^G1161 if^G1487 we be dead^G599^(G5627) with^G4862 Christ^G5547, we believe^G4100^(G5719) that^G3754 we shall^G4800 also^G2532 live^G4800^(G5692) with him^G846:

⁹ knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!

KJVKnowing^G1492^(G5761) that^G3754 Christ^G5547 being raised^G1453^(G5685) from^G1537 the dead^G3498 dieth^G599^(G5719) no more^G3765; death^G2288 hath^G2961 no more^G3765 dominion over^G2961^(G5719) him^G846.

¹⁰ For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

KJVFor^G3739^G1063 in that he died^G599^(G5627), he died^G599^(G5627) unto sin^G266 once^G2178: but^G1161 in that^G3739 he liveth^G2198^(G5719), he liveth^G2198^(G5719) unto God^G2316.

¹¹ Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

KJVLikewise^G3779 reckon^G3049^(G5737) ye^G5210 also^G2532 yourselves^G1438 to be^G1511^(G5750) dead^G3498 indeed^G3303 unto sin^G266, but^G1161 alive^G2198^(G5723) unto God^G2316 through^G1722 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 our^G2257 Lord^G2962.

¹² Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

KJVLet^G936 not^G3361 sin^G266 therefore^G3767 reign^G936^(G5720) in^G1722 your^G5216 mortal^G2349 body^G4983, that^G1519 ye should obey^G5219^(G5721) it^G846 in^G1722 the lusts^G1939 thereof^G846.

¹³ Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

KJVNeither^G3366 yield ye^G3936^(G5720) your^G5216 members^G3196 as instruments^G3696 of unrighteousness^G93 unto sin^G266: but^G235 yield^G3936^(G5657) yourselves^G1438 unto God^G2316, as^G5613 those that are alive^G2198^(G5723) from^G1537 the dead^G3498, and^G2532 your^G5216 members^G3196 as instruments^G3696 of righteousness^G1343 unto God^G2316.

¹⁴ For sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.

KJVFor^G1063 sin^G266 shall^G2961 not^G3756 have dominion over^G2961^(G5692) you^G5216: for^G1063 ye are^G2075^(G5748) not^G3756 under^G5259 the law^G3551, but^G235 under^G5259 grace^G5485.

¹⁵ What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!

KJVWhat^G5101 then^G3767? shall we sin^G264^(G5692), because^G3754 we are^G2070^(G5748) not^G3756 under^G5259 the law^G3551, but^G235 under^G5259 grace^G5485? God forbid^G3361^G1096^(G5636).

¹⁶ Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

KJVKnow ye^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756, that^G3754 to whom^G3739 ye yield^G3936^(G5719) yourselves^G1438 servants^G1401 to^G1519 obey^G5218, his servants^G1401 ye are^G2075^(G5748) to whom^G3739 ye obey^G5219^(G5719); whether^G2273 of sin^G266 unto^G1519 death^G2288, or^G2228 of obedience^G5218 unto^G1519 righteousness^G1343?

¹⁷ But thanks be to God that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were delivered.

KJVBut^G1161 God^G2316 be thanked^G5485, that^G3754 ye were^G2258^(G5713) the servants^G1401 of sin^G266, but^G1161 ye have obeyed^G5219^(G5656) from^G1537 the heart^G2588 that form^G5179 of doctrine^G1322 which^G1519^G3739 was delivered you^G3860^(G5681).

¹⁸ Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.

KJVBeing^G1659 then^G1161 made free^G1659^(G5685) from^G575 sin^G266, ye became the servants^G1402^(G5681) of righteousness^G1343.

¹⁹ I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.

KJVI speak^G3004^(G5719) after the manner of men^G442 because^G1223 of the infirmity^G769 of your^G5216 flesh^G4561: for^G1063 as^G5618 ye have yielded^G3936^(G5656) your^G5216 members^G3196 servants^G1401 to uncleanness^G167 and^G2532 to iniquity^G458 unto^G1519 iniquity^G458; even so^G3779 now^G3568 yield^G3936^(G5657) your^G5216 members^G3196 servants^G1401 to righteousness^G1343 unto^G1519 holiness^G38.

²⁰ For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.

KJVFor^G1063 when^G3753 ye were^G2258^(G5713) the servants^G1401 of sin^G266, ye were^G2258^(G5713) free^G1658 from righteousness^G1343.

²¹ What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

KJVWhat^G5101^G3767 fruit^G2590 had ye^G2192^(G5707) then^G5119 in^G1909 those things whereof^G3739 ye are^G1870 now^G3568 ashamed^G1870^(G5736)? for^G1063 the end^G5056 of those things^G1565 is death^G2288.

²² But now, being made free from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification and the result of eternal life.
