Romans 7 📜 📕 ↷
Release from the Law
1 ARE you ignorant, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the Law) that the Law hath dominion over a man as long time as he liveth?📜💬📚
2 For the woman that is under a husband; her husband living is bound to the law. But if her husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.📜💬📚
3 Therefore her husband living, she shall be called an adulteress if she be with another man: but if her husband be dead she is delivered from the law of her husband: so that she is not and adulteress if she be with another man.📜💬📚
4 Therefore my brethren you also are made dead to the Law by the body of Christ; that you may be another man's who is risen again from the dead, that we may fructify to God.📜💬📚
5 For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins that were by the Law, did work in our members, to fructify unto death.📜💬📚
6 But now we are loosed from the law of death wherein we were detained: in so much we serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.📜💬📚
God's Law Is Holy
7 What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? God forbid. But sin I did not know, but by the Law: for concupiscence I knew not, unless the Law did say: Thou shalt not covet.📜💬📚
8 But occasion being taken, sin by the commandment wrought in me all concupiscence. For without the Law sin was dead.📜💬📚
9 And I lived without the Law sometime. But when the commandment was come, sin revived.📜💬📚
10 And I was dead. And the commandment, that was unto life, the same to me was found to be unto death.📜💬📚
