Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

What 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.

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.

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

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

So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law(A) through the body of Christ,(B) that you might belong to another,(C) to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[a](D) the sinful passions aroused by the law(E) were at work in us,(F) so that we bore fruit for death.(G) But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law(H) so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.(I)

The Law and Sin

What shall we say, then?(J) Is the law sinful? Certainly not!(K) Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law.(L) For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”[b](M) But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(N) produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.(O) Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life(P) actually brought death. 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(Q) deceived me,(R) and through the commandment put me to death.

  1. Romans 7:5 In contexts like this, the Greek word for flesh (sarx) refers to the sinful state of human beings, often presented as a power in opposition to the Spirit.
  2. Romans 7:7 Exodus 20:17; Deut. 5:21

Therefore, my brethren, you also have become (A)dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should (B)bear fruit to God. For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law (C)were at work in our members (D)to bear fruit to death. But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve (E)in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.

Sin’s Advantage in the Law

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, (F)I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, (G)“You shall not covet.” But (H)sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For (I)apart from the law sin was dead. I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. 10 And the commandment, (J)which was to bring life, I found to bring death. 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me.
