Analogía tomada del matrimonio

7 ¿Acaso ignoráis, hermanos (pues hablo con los que conocen la ley), que la ley se enseñorea del hombre entre tanto que este vive? 2 Porque la mujer casada está sujeta por la ley al marido mientras este vive; pero si el marido muere, ella queda libre de la ley del marido. 3 Así que, si en vida del marido se uniere a otro varón, será llamada adúltera; pero si su marido muriere, es libre de esa ley, de tal manera que si se uniere a otro marido, no será adúltera.

4 Así también vosotros, hermanos míos, habéis muerto a la ley mediante el cuerpo de Cristo, para que seáis de otro, del que resucitó de los muertos, a fin de que llevemos fruto para Dios. 5 Porque mientras estábamos en la carne, las pasiones pecaminosas que eran por la ley obraban en nuestros miembros llevando fruto para muerte. 6 Pero ahora estamos libres de la ley, por haber muerto para aquella en que estábamos sujetos, de modo que sirvamos bajo el régimen nuevo del Espíritu y no bajo el régimen viejo de la letra.

El pecado que mora en mí

7 ¿Qué diremos, pues? ¿La ley es pecado? En ninguna manera. Pero yo no conocí el pecado sino por la ley; porque tampoco conociera la codicia, si la ley no dijera: No codiciarás.(A) 8 Mas el pecado, tomando ocasión por el mandamiento, produjo en mí toda codicia; porque sin la ley el pecado está muerto. 9 Y yo sin la ley vivía en un tiempo; pero venido el mandamiento, el pecado revivió y yo morí. 10 Y hallé que el mismo mandamiento que era para vida, a mí me resultó para muerte; 11 porque el pecado, tomando ocasión por el mandamiento, me engañó, y por él me mató. 12 De manera que la ley a la verdad es santa, y el mandamiento santo, justo y bueno.

13 ¿Luego lo que es bueno, vino a ser muerte para mí? En ninguna manera; sino que el pecado, para mostrarse pecado, produjo en mí la muerte por medio de lo que es bueno, a fin de que por el mandamiento el pecado llegase a ser sobremanera pecaminoso. 14 Porque sabemos que la ley es espiritual; mas yo soy carnal, vendido al pecado. 15 Porque lo que hago, no lo entiendo; pues no hago lo que quiero, sino lo que aborrezco, eso hago.(B) 16 Y si lo que no quiero, esto hago, apruebo que la ley es buena. 17 De manera que ya no soy yo quien hace aquello, sino el pecado que mora en mí. 18 Y yo sé que en mí, esto es, en mi carne, no mora el bien; porque el querer el bien está en mí, pero no el hacerlo. 19 Porque no hago el bien que quiero, sino el mal que no quiero, eso hago. 20 Y si hago lo que no quiero, ya no lo hago yo, sino el pecado que mora en mí.

21 Así que, queriendo yo hacer el bien, hallo esta ley: que el mal está en mí. 22 Porque según el hombre interior, me deleito en la ley de Dios; 23 pero veo otra ley en mis miembros, que se rebela contra la ley de mi mente, y que me lleva cautivo a la ley del pecado que está en mis miembros. 24 ¡Miserable de mí! ¿quién me librará de este cuerpo de muerte? 25 Gracias doy a Dios, por Jesucristo Señor nuestro. Así que, yo mismo con la mente sirvo a la ley de Dios, mas con la carne a la ley del pecado.

Romans 7
New American Standard Bible

Believers United to Christ

7 Or do you not know, (A)brothers and sisters (for I am speaking to those who know the [a]Law), that the [b]Law has jurisdiction over a person as long as he lives? 2 For (B)the married woman is bound by law to her [c]husband as long as he is alive; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law [d]concerning the husband. 3 So then, if while her husband is alive she [e]gives herself to another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress if she [f]gives herself to another man.

4 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you also were (C)put to death (D)in regard to the Law (E)through the body of Christ, so that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For while we were (F)in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were (G)brought to light by the Law, were at work (H)in [g]the parts of our body to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we have been (I)released from the Law, having (J)died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in (K)newness of (L)the [h]Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.

7 (M)What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? (N)[i]Far from it! On the contrary, (O)I would not have come to know sin except [j]through the Law; for I would not have known about [k]coveting if the Law had not said, “(P)You shall not [l]covet.” 8 But sin, (Q)taking an opportunity (R)through the commandment, produced in me [m]coveting of every kind; for (S)apart [n]from the Law sin is dead. 9 I was once alive apart [o]from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin came to life, and I died; 10 and this commandment, which was [p](T)to result in life, proved [q]to result in death for me; 11 for sin, (U)taking an opportunity (V)through the commandment, (W)deceived me, and through it, killed me. 12 (X)So then, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

13 Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? [r](Y)Far from it! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by bringing about my death through that which is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.

The Conflict of Serving Two Masters

14 For we know that the Law is (Z)spiritual, but I am (AA)fleshly, (AB)sold [s](AC)into bondage to sin. 15 For (AD)I do not understand what I am doing; for I am not practicing (AE)what I want to do, but I do the very thing I hate. 16 However, if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with (AF)the Law, that the Law is good. 17 But now, (AG)no longer am I the one doing it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 For I know that good does not dwell in me, that is, in my (AH)flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. 19 For (AI)the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. 20 But if I do the very thing I do not want, (AJ)I am no longer the one doing it, but sin that dwells in me.

21 I find then (AK)the [t]principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. 22 For I joyfully agree with the law of God [u]in (AL)the inner person, 23 but I see (AM)a different law in [v]the parts of my body waging war against the (AN)law of my mind, and making me a prisoner [w]of (AO)the law of sin, the law which is in [x]my body’s parts. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from [y](AP)the body of this (AQ)death? 25 (AR)Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh (AS)the law of sin.
