1. Are you all ignorant, brethren – for to those
knowing the law I speak – that the law
continues to have authority over a person as
long as he lives?
2.For example, the married woman has been
bound to her living husband by the law; but if
the husband dies, she has been freed from
the law of her husband;
3.So, then, the husband being alive, she shall
be an adulteress if she becomes another
man’s; but if the husband dies, she is free
from the law, so as not to be an adulteress on
becoming another man’s.
4.In the same way, my brethren, you all also
are made to die to the law through the body
of the Christ, making you all to become
different, being roused out of the dead, that
we bear fruit with God.
5.For when we were in the flesh (4561), the
afflictions of the sins, through the law, were
continuously working in the members of our
being, to bring forth fruit to death;
6.but now we have been freed from the law of
death,( in which we had been continuously
held down), so that now we will continuously
be servants (1398) in newness of spirit, and
not in oldness of letter of the Law.
7.What, then, shall we be saying the law is
sin? Let it not be! But I do not know sin if I
don’t know of the law, therefore I would not
have been aware of covetousness if the law
had not told me “you are not to covet.”
8.But sin, taking advantage of an opportunity,
through the commandment works in me all
covetousness – for apart from the law sin is
dead.
9.Yet I was living at one time without the law,
but because of the commandment sin revives
and I die continuously.
10.and the commandment which was to bring
life, this was found to bring death to me;
11.For sin, having received an opportunity,
through the commandment, deceives me, and
through it slays me;
12.so that the law, indeed, is holy, and the
commandment holy, and just, and good.
13.That which is good then, to me has it
become death? Let it not be! But sin, that it
might appear sin, through the good produces
death in me, that sin might become
exceedingly sinful through the commandment.
14.for we have known that the law is spiritual,
yet I am fleshly, having been sold under sin;
15.for that which I am doing, I do not
understand; for what I will to do, this I am not
practicing, but what I hate, this I am doing.
16.yet if what I do not will, this I do, I agree
with the law that it is good,
17.and now it is no longer I that is doing the
work, but the sin dwelling in me,
18.for I have known that there is not good
dwelling in me, that is in my God-wannabe, for
to be willing is present in me, yet to be doing
what is good I am not finding.
19.for the good that I am willing, I am not
doing; but the evil that I am not willing, this I
am practicing.
20.but if what I am not willing, this I am doing,
it is no longer I that is bringing it about, but
the sin that is dwelling in me.
21.Consequently I am discovering there is a
law, that when I am trying to do what is right,
that in me evil is continuously present.
22.for I delight in the law of God according to
the man within,
23.yet I am observing a different law
somewhere in me, warring against the law of
my conscience, and bringing me into captivity
to the law of sin somewhere in me.
24.A wretched man I am! Who shall rescue
me out of this body of death?
25.I am thanking God – through Jesus Christ
our Lord; so then, I myself indeed with the
conscience am serving the law of God, yet
with my God-wannabe, the law of sin.
Chapter 7 Endnotes
knowing the law I speak – that the law
continues to have authority over a person as
long as he lives?
- When he refers to “the law,” Paul is
referring to the law of Moses. These
commandments describe the way the
spiritual realm works. These spiritual
laws are unchangeable and are
always in force. Nobody ever
escapes the consequences of sin
(living contrary to the law) (IWGYR
page 22).
2.For example, the married woman has been
bound to her living husband by the law; but if
the husband dies, she has been freed from
the law of her husband;
3.So, then, the husband being alive, she shall
be an adulteress if she becomes another
man’s; but if the husband dies, she is free
from the law, so as not to be an adulteress on
becoming another man’s.
- A legal transaction occurs in the
spiritual realm when her husband
dies, and as a result she is set free
from the law’s mandate to not commit
adultery.
4.In the same way, my brethren, you all also
are made to die to the law through the body
of the Christ, making you all to become
different, being roused out of the dead, that
we bear fruit with God.
- A legal transaction occurs in the
spiritual realm when Jesus pays for
our sin. It is a miracle. The old root
of sin that dwelt in us is taken out, and
Christ comes in. We become different
- like Christ in that area of our being;
and the new “good root” (Jesus in us)
produces “good fruit” (pages 40-41).
5.For when we were in the flesh (4561), the
afflictions of the sins, through the law, were
continuously working in the members of our
being, to bring forth fruit to death;
- When Paul refers to “the flesh” (sarx,
#4561), he is referring to the fallen
part of us that wants to take God’s
place and be our own god. I am going
to call this our “God-wannabe.” It tries
to keep the law in our own strength,
by using our will power, and it plants
“bad roots” in us (IWGYR page 96).
Trying to keep the law with our
willpower is sin! (IWGYR page 196-
200). - In those areas in us where there are
“bad roots,” “bad fruit” is always
produced (IWGYR page 40). - “Death” is both separation from the
presence of God and the pain and
difficulties sin produces in our lives
(IWGYR page 29).
6.but now we have been freed from the law of
death,( in which we had been continuously
held down), so that now we will continuously
be servants (1398) in newness of spirit, and
not in oldness of letter of the Law.
- Strong’s #1398, douleuein. The
typical translation inserts “should
serve,” which sounds like a command
(an imperative), and thus sends
people into the futility of trying to
produce “good fruit” with their
willpower (IWGYR page 24).
However, this Greek verb form is
simply a statement of fact. Jesus in
us sets us free to produce good fruit
which spontaneously results from His
presence in us (IWGYR page 34). - This miraculous transformation is the
only way we can successfully keep the
law.
7.What, then, shall we be saying the law is
sin? Let it not be! But I do not know sin if I
don’t know of the law, therefore I would not
have been aware of covetousness if the law
had not told me “you are not to covet.”
8.But sin, taking advantage of an opportunity,
through the commandment works in me all
covetousness – for apart from the law sin is
dead.
9.Yet I was living at one time without the law,
but because of the commandment sin revives
and I die continuously.
A flaw in the way the law works in
humans is that when we discover what
God wants of us, we immediately
begin to try to obey. Our God-
wannabe always impels us to do this
with our will power. Therefore, when
we discover the commandments, we
are impelled to sin further by trying to
obey them in our own strength (will
power). (IWGYR page 196).
10.and the commandment which was to bring
life, this was found to bring death to me;
11.For sin, having received an opportunity,
through the commandment, deceives me, and
through it slays me;
12.so that the law, indeed, is holy, and the
commandment holy, and just, and good.
13.That which is good then, to me has it
become death? Let it not be! But sin, that it
might appear sin, through the good produces
death in me, that sin might become
exceedingly sinful through the commandment.
Without realizing it, I spontaneously,
unconsciously add the sin of striving
to keep the law with my willpower to
the sin I was trying to avoid. My God-
wannabe (flesh) is what impels me to
do this.
14.for we have known that the law is spiritual,
yet I am fleshly, having been sold under sin;
- My God-wannabe (flesh) exists inside
me, and plants “bad roots” of sin in
me (IWGYR page 197-200).
15.for that which I am doing, I do not
understand; for what I will to do, this I am not
practicing, but what I hate, this I am doing.
16.yet if what I do not will, this I do, I agree
with the law that it is good,
17.and now it is no longer I that is doing the
work, but the sin dwelling in me,
- By their very nature, “bad roots”
produce “bad fruit.”
18.for I have known that there is not good
dwelling in me, that is in my God-wannabe, for
to be willing is present in me, yet to be doing
what is good I am not finding.
I have discovered that trying to be
good through the exercise of my will
power doesn’t work.
19.for the good that I am willing, I am not
doing; but the evil that I am not willing, this I
am practicing.
20.but if what I am not willing, this I am doing,
it is no longer I that is bringing it about, but
the sin that is dwelling in me.
- Again, “bad roots” produce “bad
fruit.” A spiritual law is in operation.
My psychological tool (my will power)
is impotent here (IWGYR page 24).
21.Consequently I am discovering there is a
law, that when I am trying to do what is right,
that in me evil is continuously present.
22.for I delight in the law of God according to
the man within,
23.yet I am observing a different law
somewhere in me, warring against the law of
my conscience, and bringing me into captivity
to the law of sin somewhere in me.
Inside I have both the image of God
and my God-wannabe; and they are
at war (pages 200).
24.A wretched man I am! Who shall rescue
me out of this body of death?
25.I am thanking God – through Jesus Christ
our Lord; so then, I myself indeed with the
conscience am serving the law of God, yet
with my God-wannabe, the law of sin.
Chapter 7 Endnotes
- My conscience motivates me to want to
keep the law. I tend to try to keep the
law with my willpower. Much to my
dismay, I discover that I can’t do it. In
fact, the harder I try, the worse it gets
(IWGYR pages 197-200). - Only the blood of Jesus can rescue me
from this cycle of sin and death (IWGYR
page 27).
1.Know ye not, brethren,
(for I speak to them that
know the law,) how that
the law hath dominion
over a man as long as he
liveth?
2.For the woman which
hath a husband is bound
by the law to her husband
so long as he liveth; but if
the husband be dead, she
is loosed from the law of
her husband.
3.So then if, while her
husband liveth, she be
married to another man,
she shall be called an
adulteress; but if her
husband be dead, she is
free from that law; so that
she is no adulteress,
though she be married to
another man.
4.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.
5.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.
6.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.
7.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.
8.But sin, taking occasion
by the commandment,
wrought in me all manner
of concupiscence. For
without the law sin was
dead.
9.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.
12.Wherefore the law is
holy, and the
commandment holy, and
just, and good.
13.Was then that which is
good made death unto
me? God forbid. But sin,
that it might appear sin,
working death in me by
that which is good; that
sin by the commandment
might become exceeding
sinful.
14.For we know that the
law is spiritual: but I am
carnal, sold under sin.
15.For that which I do, I
allow not: for what I
would, that do I not; but
what I hate, that do I.
16.If then I do that which I
would not, I consent unto
the law that it is good.
17.Now then it is no more
I that do it, but sin that
dwelleth in me.
18.For I know that in me
(that is, in my flesh),
dwelleth no good thing:
for to will is present with
me; but how to perform
that which is good I find
not.
19.For the good that I
would, I do not: but the
evil which I would not,
that I do.
20.Now if I do that I would
not, it is no more I that do
it, but sin that dwelleth in
me.
21.I find then a law, that,
when I would do good,
evil is present with me.
22.For I delight in the law
of God after the inward
man:
23.But I see another law
in my members, warring
against the law of my
mind, and bringing me
into captivity to the law of
sin which is in my
members.
24.O wretched man that I
am! Who shall deliver me
from the body of this
death?
25.I thank God through
Jesus Christ our Lord. So
then with the mind I
myself serve the law of
God; but with the flesh
the law of sin.
(for I speak to them that
know the law,) how that
the law hath dominion
over a man as long as he
liveth?
2.For the woman which
hath a husband is bound
by the law to her husband
so long as he liveth; but if
the husband be dead, she
is loosed from the law of
her husband.
3.So then if, while her
husband liveth, she be
married to another man,
she shall be called an
adulteress; but if her
husband be dead, she is
free from that law; so that
she is no adulteress,
though she be married to
another man.
4.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.
5.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.
6.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.
7.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.
8.But sin, taking occasion
by the commandment,
wrought in me all manner
of concupiscence. For
without the law sin was
dead.
9.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.
12.Wherefore the law is
holy, and the
commandment holy, and
just, and good.
13.Was then that which is
good made death unto
me? God forbid. But sin,
that it might appear sin,
working death in me by
that which is good; that
sin by the commandment
might become exceeding
sinful.
14.For we know that the
law is spiritual: but I am
carnal, sold under sin.
15.For that which I do, I
allow not: for what I
would, that do I not; but
what I hate, that do I.
16.If then I do that which I
would not, I consent unto
the law that it is good.
17.Now then it is no more
I that do it, but sin that
dwelleth in me.
18.For I know that in me
(that is, in my flesh),
dwelleth no good thing:
for to will is present with
me; but how to perform
that which is good I find
not.
19.For the good that I
would, I do not: but the
evil which I would not,
that I do.
20.Now if I do that I would
not, it is no more I that do
it, but sin that dwelleth in
me.
21.I find then a law, that,
when I would do good,
evil is present with me.
22.For I delight in the law
of God after the inward
man:
23.But I see another law
in my members, warring
against the law of my
mind, and bringing me
into captivity to the law of
sin which is in my
members.
24.O wretched man that I
am! Who shall deliver me
from the body of this
death?
25.I thank God through
Jesus Christ our Lord. So
then with the mind I
myself serve the law of
God; but with the flesh
the law of sin.
