Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Know you not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) that the law hath dominion over a man, as long as it liveth?
1η αγνοειτε αδελφοι γινωσκουσιν γαρ νομον λαλω οτι ο νομοσ κυριευει του ανθρωπου εφ οσον χρονον ζη
2For the woman that hath an husband, whilst her husband liveth is bound to the law. But if her husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
2η γαρ υπανδροσ γυνη τω ζωντι ανδρι δεδεται νομω εαν δε αποθανη ο ανηρ κατηργηται απο του νομου του ανδροσ
3Therefore, whilst her husband liveth, 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 an adulteress, if she be with another man.
3αρα ουν ζωντοσ του ανδροσ μοιχαλισ χρηματισει εαν γενηται ανδρι ετερω εαν δε αποθανη ο ανηρ ελευθερα εστιν απο του νομου του μη ειναι αυτην μοιχαλιδα γενομενην ανδρι ετερω
4Therefore, my brethren, you also are become dead to the law, by the body of Christ; that you may belong to another, who is risen again from the dead, that we may bring forth fruit to God.
4ωστε αδελφοι μου και υμεισ εθανατωθητε τω νομω δια του σωματοσ του χριστου εισ το γενεσθαι υμασ ετερω τω εκ νεκρων εγερθεντι ινα καρποφορησωμεν τω θεω
5For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death.
5οτε γαρ ημεν εν τη σαρκι τα παθηματα των αμαρτιων τα δια του νομου ενηργειτο εν τοισ μελεσιν ημων εισ το καρποφορησαι τω θανατω
6But now we are loosed from the law of death, wherein we were detained; so that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
6νυνι δε κατηργηθημεν απο του νομου αποθανοντεσ εν ω κατειχομεθα ωστε δουλευειν ημασ εν καινοτητι πνευματοσ και ου παλαιοτητι γραμματοσ
7What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? God forbid. But I do not know sin, but by the law; for I had not known concupiscence, if the law did not say: Thou shalt not covet.
7τι ουν ερουμεν ο νομοσ αμαρτια μη γενοιτο αλλα την αμαρτιαν ουκ εγνων ει μη δια νομου την τε γαρ επιθυμιαν ουκ ηδειν ει μη ο νομοσ ελεγεν ουκ επιθυμησεισ
8But sin taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
8αφορμην δε λαβουσα η αμαρτια δια τησ εντολησ κατειργασατο εν εμοι πασαν επιθυμιαν χωρισ γαρ νομου αμαρτια νεκρα
9And I lived some time without the law. But when the commandment came, sin revived,
9εγω δε εζων χωρισ νομου ποτε ελθουσησ δε τησ εντολησ η αμαρτια ανεζησεν εγω δε απεθανον
10And I died. And the commandment that was ordained to life, the same was found to be unto death to me.
10και ευρεθη μοι η εντολη η εισ ζωην αυτη εισ θανατον
11For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, seduced me, and by it killed me.
11η γαρ αμαρτια αφορμην λαβουσα δια τησ εντολησ εξηπατησεν με και δι αυτησ απεκτεινεν
12Wherefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
12ωστε ο μεν νομοσ αγιοσ και η εντολη αγια και δικαια και αγαθη
13Was that then which is good, made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it may appear sin, by that which is good, wrought death in me; that sin, by the commandment, might become sinful above measure.
13το ουν αγαθον εμοι γεγονεν θανατοσ μη γενοιτο αλλα η αμαρτια ινα φανη αμαρτια δια του αγαθου μοι κατεργαζομενη θανατον ινα γενηται καθ υπερβολην αμαρτωλοσ η αμαρτια δια τησ εντολησ
14For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.
14οιδαμεν γαρ οτι ο νομοσ πνευματικοσ εστιν εγω δε σαρκικοσ ειμι πεπραμενοσ υπο την αμαρτιαν
15For that which I work, I understand not. For I do not that good which I will; but the evil which I hate, that I do.
15ο γαρ κατεργαζομαι ου γινωσκω ου γαρ ο θελω τουτο πρασσω αλλ ο μισω τουτο ποιω
16If then I do that which I will not, I consent to the law, that it is good.
16ει δε ο ου θελω τουτο ποιω συμφημι τω νομω οτι καλοσ
17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
17νυνι δε ουκετι εγω κατεργαζομαι αυτο αλλ η οικουσα εν εμοι αμαρτια
18For I know that there dwelleth not in me, that is to say, in my flesh, that which is good. For to will, is present with me; but to accomplish that which is good, I find not.
18οιδα γαρ οτι ουκ οικει εν εμοι τουτ εστιν εν τη σαρκι μου αγαθον το γαρ θελειν παρακειται μοι το δε κατεργαζεσθαι το καλον ουχ ευρισκω
19For the good which I will, I do not; but the evil which I will not, that I do.
19ου γαρ ο θελω ποιω αγαθον αλλ ο ου θελω κακον τουτο πρασσω
20Now if I do that which I will not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
20ει δε ο ου θελω εγω τουτο ποιω ουκετι εγω κατεργαζομαι αυτο αλλ η οικουσα εν εμοι αμαρτια
21I find then a law, that when I have a will to do good, evil is present with me.
21ευρισκω αρα τον νομον τω θελοντι εμοι ποιειν το καλον οτι εμοι το κακον παρακειται
22For I am delighted with the law of God, according to the inward man:
22συνηδομαι γαρ τω νομω του θεου κατα τον εσω ανθρωπον
23But I see another law in my members, fighting against the law of my mind, and captivating me in the law of sin, that is in my members.
23βλεπω δε ετερον νομον εν τοισ μελεσιν μου αντιστρατευομενον τω νομω του νοοσ μου και αιχμαλωτιζοντα με τω νομω τησ αμαρτιασ τω οντι εν τοισ μελεσιν μου
24Unhappy man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
24ταλαιπωροσ εγω ανθρωποσ τισ με ρυσεται εκ του σωματοσ του θανατου τουτου
25The grace of God, by Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore, I myself, with the mind serve the law of God; but with the flesh, the law of sin.
25ευχαριστω τω θεω δια ιησου χριστου του κυριου ημων αρα ουν αυτοσ εγω τω μεν νοι δουλευω νομω θεου τη δε σαρκι νομω αμαρτιασ
