Why does the spelling look unusual?

¹ Know ye not, brethren (for I speake to them that knowe the Lawe) how that the Lawe hath dominion ouer a man, as long as he liueth?

² For the woman which hath an husbaud, is bound by the law to her husband, so long as he liueth: but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of the husband.

³ So then if while her husband liueth, shee be married to another man, shee shalbe called an adulteresse: but if her husband be dead, shee is free from that law, so that she is no adulteresse, though she be married to another man.

⁴ Wherefore my brethren, yee also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ, that ye should be married to another, euen to him who is raised from the dead, that wee should bring forth fruit vnto God,

⁵ For when wee were in the flesh, the motions of sinnes which were by the law, did worke in our members, to bring foorth fruit vnto death.

⁶ But now wee are deliuered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held, that we should serue in newnesse of spirit, and not in the oldnesse of the letter.

⁷ What shall wee say then? is the law sinne? God forbid. Nay, I had not knowen sinne, but by the lawe: for I had not knowen lust, except the Law had said, Thou shalt not couet.

⁸ But sinne taking occasion by the commaundement, wrought in me all maner of concupiscence. For without the Law sinne was dead.

⁹ For I was aliue without the Law once, but when the commandement came, sinne reuiued, and I died.

¹⁰ And the commandement which was ordained to life, I found to be vnto death.

¹¹ For sinne taking occasion by the commandement, deceiued me, and by it slew me.

¹² Wherefore the Law is holy, and the Commandement holy, and iust, and good.

¹³ Was that then which is good, made death vnto me? God forbid. But sinne, that it might appeare sinne, working death in mee by that which is good: that sinne by the Commaundement might become exceeding sinfull.

¹⁴ For wee know that the Law is spirituall: but I am carnall, sold vnder sinne.

¹⁵ For that which I do, I allow not: for what I would, that do I not, but what I hate, that doe I.

¹⁶ If then I doe that which I would not, I consent vnto the Law, that it is good.

¹⁷ Now then, it is no more I that doe it: but sinne 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 performe that which is good, I find not.

¹⁹ For the good that I would, I do not: but the euill which I would not, that I doe.

²⁰ Now if I doe that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sinne that dwelleth in me.

²¹ I find then a Law, that when I would do good, euil is present with me.

²² For I delight in the Lawe of God, after the inward man.

²³ But I see another Lawe in my members, warring against the Lawe of my minde, and bringing me into captiuity to the Law of sinne, which is in my members.

²⁴ O wretched man that I am: who shall deliuer me from the body of this death?

²⁵ I thanke God through Iesus Christ our Lord. So then, with the mind I my self serue the Law of God: but with the flesh, the law of sinne.

Peaches's Romans Chapter 7 comment on 5/01/2013, 9:51am...

7:1ff Paul shows that the law is powerless to save the sinner (7:7-14),the lawkeeper(7:15-22),and even the person with a new nature(7:23-25).The sinner is condemned by the law; the lawkeeper can't live up to it: and the person with the new nature finds his or her obedience to the law sabotaged by the effects of the old nature. Once again Paul declares that salvation cannot be found by obeying the law. No matter who we are, only Jesus Christ can set us free.

B.J. Manuel's Romans Chapter 7 comment about verse 24 on 4/02/2013, 1:07am...

It is difficult to imagine that this exhausting struggle between flesh and spirit would be occurring in the life of the beloved Paul. Yet here he comes completely clean in admitting that indeed he does have the struggle going on in him. There a continual internal warfare going on inside of Paul and of every righteous Christian. Thank God that the resolution of this raging series of battles is resolved in Christ who redeems us from the curse of the law and raises us with Christ to the victory of the Spirit through our precious Redeemer Jesus Christ. The weak difference in me is made up in the mighty power of Christ and when I truly team up with and surrender to Him I know I will eventually and always win.

The Bible is food for my life and wisdom over all.

STEPHAN's Romans Chapter 7 comment about verse 24 on 2/20/2013, 4:13pm...

This cry is a of one who truly seeks to be delivered from sin and the power thereof.

I Like Eric Sayranian’s comment on Romans 7.

Michael's Romans Chapter 7 comment about verse 21 on 12/08/2012, 4:17pm...

I believe that our flesh is alays trying to pull our spirit to reject the goodness we desire of God. Its origin can be traced to our free will in the Torah.

Eric sayranian's Romans Chapter 7 comment on 9/15/2012, 10:07am...

Verse 18 is the quintessential question for all Christians since the resurrection, that is this “for to "will" is present with me, but how to "perform" that which is good, I find not". SO, does that mean there is not an answer to "performing" that which is good? NO, there is an answer!! First, quit trying to perform, labor to enter His rest. Second, Abide in Christ Jesus, not yourself (own strength). Third, when using His name, and praying, reading His word, do it all from the standpoint (foundation) of "BEING" in HIM. That is where the power is, anyway, that's where the "performance factor of verse 18 comes from!!!!!

RODDY MOGOROSI's Romans Chapter 7 comment on 6/29/2012, 9:26am...

The FRUIT of our CARNAL NATURE is SIN ending in DEATH but that of our NEW NATURE is HOLINESS ending in EVERLASTING LIFE
