¹ KNOW ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the Torah,) how that the Torah has dominion over a man as long as he lives?

² For the woman which has a man is bound by that mitsvah to her man so long as he lives; but if the man be dead, she is loosed from that mitsvah of her man.

³ So then if, while her man lives, she be married to another man, she shall be an adulteress: but if her man be dead, she is free from that mitsvah; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

⁴ Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to that mitsvah by the body of Mashiach; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto Elohiym.

⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by that mitsvah, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

⁶ But now we are delivered from that mitsvah, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of the ruach, and not in the oldness of the letter.

⁷ What shall we say then? Is the Torah sin? Never. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the Torah: for I had not known lust, except the Torah had said, You shall not lust.

⁸ But sin, taking occasion by the mitsvah, wrought in me all manner of lusting. For without the Torah sin was dead.

⁹ For I was alive without the Torah once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

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

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

¹² Wherefore the Torah is holy, and the mitsvah holy, and just, and good.

¹³ Was then that which is good made death unto me? Never. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the mitsvah might become exceeding sinful.

¹⁴ For we know that the Torah is of the Ruach: but I am carnal, trafficked by sin.

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

¹⁶ If then את I do that which I would not, I consent unto the Torah that it is good.

¹⁷ Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.

¹⁸ For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwells 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 dwells in me.

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

²² For I delight in the Torah of Elohiym after the inward man:

²³ But I see another Law in my members, warring against the Torah 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 Elohiym through Yahusha Ha'Mashiach our Adonai. So then with the mind I myself serve the Torah of Elohiym; but with the flesh the Law of sin.
