婚姻关系的例子
7 弟兄姊妹，我现在对那些熟悉律法的人说：你们难道不知道律法只在人活着的时候管辖人吗？ 2 比方说，一个妇人结了婚，只要丈夫还在世，她就受律法的约束要与丈夫在一起。如果丈夫死了，她就脱离了与丈夫的婚姻关系。 3 丈夫还活着的时候，她若与别的男人发生性关系，便算淫妇。丈夫若死了，她就脱离了与丈夫的婚姻关系，即使改嫁，也不是淫妇。
4 我的弟兄姊妹，同样，你们借着基督的身体向着律法也死了，使你们可以归于那位从死里复活的基督，好为上帝结果子。 5 从前我们受自己罪恶本性[a]的控制，因律法而激发的罪恶欲望在我们身上发作，以致结出死亡的果子。 6 但现在，我们既然向着一度捆绑我们的律法死了，就脱离了律法的控制，能够以圣灵所赐的新样式，而不是以拘守教条的旧样式事奉上帝。
律法使人知罪
7 那么，我们可以说律法本身是罪吗？当然不是！没有律法，我们就不知道什么是罪。律法若不说“不可贪心”，我就不知道什么是贪心。 8 然而，罪却趁机利用诫命在我里面生出各种贪念，因为没有律法，罪是死的。 9 我没认识律法之前是活的，但律法来了之后，罪就活了，而我却死了。 10 我发现那本来要使人活的诫命反而叫我死， 11 因为罪利用诫命趁机引诱我，而且借着诫命杀了我。
12 其实律法是圣洁的，诫命也是圣洁、公义、良善的。 13 既然如此，难道是良善的诫命叫我死吗？当然不是！是罪借着良善的诫命叫我死。这样，罪借着诫命叫我死就显出它实在是邪恶至极！
善恶相争
14 我们知道律法是属灵的，我却属乎肉体，已经卖给罪做奴隶了。 15 我不明白自己的所作所为，因为我想做的，我做不到；而我憎恨的恶事，我偏偏去做！ 16 既然我不想做的，我反倒去做，我就得承认律法是好的。 17 其实那并不是我做的，而是住在我里面的罪做的。 18 我也知道，在我的罪恶本性里面毫无良善，我有行善的心愿，却没有行善的力量。 19 我想行善，却不能行；我不想作恶，反倒去作。 20 如果我不想做的，我反倒去做，这就不是我自己做的，而是住在我里面的罪做的。
21 因此，我发现一个律：我想行善的时候，恶就不放过我。 22 按着我里面的意思[b]，我喜爱上帝的律。 23 然而，我发觉在我身体内另有一个律和我心中的律作战，将我俘虏，使我服从身体内犯罪的律。 24 我真是苦啊！谁能救我脱离这个被死亡控制的身体呢？ 25 感谢上帝，祂借着我们的主耶稣基督救了我！这样看来，我的内心服从上帝的律法，但我罪恶的本性却服从犯罪的律。

婚姻關係的例子
7 弟兄姊妹，我現在對那些熟悉律法的人說：你們難道不知道律法只在人活著的時候管轄人嗎？ 2 比方說，一個婦人結了婚，只要丈夫還在世，她就受律法的約束要與丈夫在一起。如果丈夫死了，她就脫離了與丈夫的婚姻關係。 3 丈夫還活著的時候，她若與別的男人發生性關係，便算淫婦。丈夫若死了，她就脫離了與丈夫的婚姻關係，即使改嫁，也不是淫婦。
4 我的弟兄姊妹，同樣，你們藉著基督的身體向著律法也死了，使你們可以歸於那位從死裡復活的基督，好為上帝結果子。 5 從前我們受自己罪惡本性[a]的控制，因律法而激發的罪惡慾望在我們身上發作，以致結出死亡的果子。 6 但現在，我們既然向著一度捆綁我們的律法死了，就脫離了律法的控制，能夠以聖靈所賜的新樣式，而不是以拘守教條的舊樣式事奉上帝。
律法使人知罪
7 那麼，我們可以說律法本身是罪嗎？當然不是！沒有律法，我們就不知道什麼是罪。律法若不說「不可貪心」，我就不知道什麼是貪心。 8 然而，罪卻趁機利用誡命在我裡面生出各種貪念，因為沒有律法，罪是死的。 9 我沒認識律法之前是活的，但律法來了之後，罪就活了，而我卻死了。 10 我發現那本來要使人活的誡命反而叫我死， 11 因為罪利用誡命趁機引誘我，而且藉著誡命殺了我。
12 其實律法是聖潔的，誡命也是聖潔、公義、良善的。 13 既然如此，難道是良善的誡命叫我死嗎？當然不是！是罪藉著良善的誡命叫我死。這樣，罪藉著誡命叫我死就顯出它實在是邪惡至極！
善惡相爭
14 我們知道律法是屬靈的，我卻屬乎肉體，已經賣給罪做奴隸了。 15 我不明白自己的所作所為，因為我想做的，我做不到；而我憎恨的惡事，我偏偏去做！ 16 既然我不想做的，我反倒去做，我就得承認律法是好的。 17 其實那並不是我做的，而是住在我裡面的罪做的。 18 我也知道，在我的罪惡本性裡面毫無良善，我有行善的心願，卻沒有行善的力量。 19 我想行善，卻不能行；我不想作惡，反倒去作。 20 如果我不想做的，我反倒去做，這就不是我自己做的，而是住在我裡面的罪做的。
21 因此，我發現一個律：我想行善的時候，惡就不放過我。 22 按著我裡面的意思[b]，我喜愛上帝的律。 23 然而，我發覺在我身體內另有一個律和我心中的律作戰，將我俘虜，使我服從身體內犯罪的律。 24 我真是苦啊！誰能救我脫離這個被死亡控制的身體呢？ 25 感謝上帝，祂藉著我們的主耶穌基督救了我！這樣看來，我的內心服從上帝的律法，但我罪惡的本性卻服從犯罪的律。
Kehillah in Rome 7
Orthodox Jewish Bible
7 Do you not have da’as, Achim b’Moshiach, for I speak to those who know the Torah, that the Torah exercises marut (authority, rule) over a man so long as he lives?
2 For the agunah (woman whose husband’s whereabouts are unknown) is bound by the Torah to her husband while he lives; but in the case that her husband’s death can be confirmed, she is no longer an agunah and is released from the Torah of her husband.
3 Accordingly she will be named no’eh-fet (adulteress) if, while her husband lives, she becomes another man’s. But if her ba’al (husband) dies, she is free from the Torah, so that she is no no’ehfet (adulteress) if she becomes another man’s.
4 So then, Achim b’Moshiach, you also were put to death in relation to the Torah through the basar of Moshiach (TEHILLIM 16:9-10 ), in order that you might become another’s, bound to Moshiach who was given Techiyah (Resurrection) from the Mesim, so that we might bear p’ri for Hashem.
5 For when we were in the basar (in the fallen condition of the old humanity), through the Torah, the ta’avat besarim, the sinful passions (i.e., Chet Kadmon’s yetzer harah of the fallen human condition) were working in our natural capacities, so as to bear p’ri for mavet (death) [cf. Ro 4:15].
6 But now we have become niftar (freed, deceased) from the dominating ownership of the Torah, having died to that by which we were confined, so that we might serve in the Ruach Hakodesh of hitkhadshut and newness and not in the yoshen (oldness) of chumra (legalism, strict adherence to the letter of the law) (Ro 2:29).
7 What then shall we say? That the Torah is considered as chet (sin)? Chas v’shalom! Nevertheless, I would not have experienced chet (sin) except through the Torah; for I would not have known chamdanut (covetousness, greediness) if the Torah had not said, LO TACHMOD ("Thou shalt not covet" SHEMOT 20:17).
8 But Chet (Sin), seizing its opportunity through the mitzvoh (commandment), stirred up all manner of chamdanut (covetousness) in me. For in the absence of the Torah, Chet (Sin) is dead.
9 And in the absence of the Torah I was once alive. But when the mitzvoh (commandment) came [BERESHIS 2:16-17), Chet (Sin) became alive,
10 and I died. The mitzvoh (commandment) intended as the Derech L’Chayyim (Way to Life) proved for me a means to mavet (death).
11 For Chet (Sin), seizing its opportunity through the mitzvoh (commandment), deceived me and, through the mitzvoh (commandment), killed me [BERESHIS 3:1-6].
12 So that the Torah is kedoshah (holy) and the mitzvoh (commandment) is kedoshah and yasharah and tovah.
13 Did that which is good, then, become mavet (death) to me? Chas v’shalom! But Chet (Sin), it was Chet, working mavet (death) in me through that which is tovah, in order that Chet might be shown as Chet (Sin), and in order that Chet through the mitzvoh (commandment) might become chata’ah gedolah ad m’od (utterly sinful).
14 For we have da’as that the Torah is Ruchanit (Spiritual, of the Ruach Hakodesh); but I am of the basar (fallen humanity) sold under the power of (slave master Chet Kadmon) Chet.
15 For I do not have da’as what I do. For that which I commit is not what I want; no, it is what I hate that I do!
16 But if that which I do is what I do not want, I agree with the Torah that the Torah is good.
17 But now it is no longer I doing this, but [the power of] Chet (Sin) which dwells within me.
18 For I have da’as that there dwells in me, that is, in my basar (my fallen humanity enslaved to Chet Kadmon) no good thing; for the wish [to do what is right] lies ready at hand for me, but to accomplish the good is not.
19 For I fail to do good as I wish, but HaRah (The Evil) which I do not wish is what I commit.
20 But if what I do not wish is that which I do, it is no longer I doing it but [the power of] Chet (Sin, Chet Kadmon, Original Sin) which dwells within me (cf. Ro 8:7-8).
21 I find then it be a law that for me who wishes to do HaTov (The Good), that for me HaRah (The Evil) lies ready at hand.
22 For I rejoice, I have simcha Torah in the Torah of Hashem, so far as the inner man is concerned,
23 But I see another Chok (decree, law) in my natural capacities at milchamah (war) with the Torah of my mind and making me a prisoner to the Chok (law) of Chet (Sin) which is [a power] in my natural capacities.
24 Wretched man am I! Who will deliver me from the body of this mavet (death)?
25 Hodu l’Hashem (thanks be to G-d) baMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu. So then I myself with my mind serve the Torah of Hashem and with my basar I serve the Chok of Chet (the Law of Sin). [T.N. The total spiritual turnaround here described is when the conviction of the intellect, emotion, and will "obey from the heart the form of doctrine laid out here in Scripture" as we are born anew in the humanity of the new Man and die to the old depraved Adam.]
