WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:01.260 Chapter 7. 00:02.280 --> 00:08.380 Know ye not, brethren, for I speak to them that know the law, how that the law hath 00:08.380 --> 00:11.300 dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 00:11.860 --> 00:16.980 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as 00:16.980 --> 00:17.520 he liveth. 00:17.820 --> 00:21.860 But if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 00:22.740 --> 00:26.820 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, 00:26.820 --> 00:29.540 she shall be called an adulteress. 00:29.920 --> 00:34.680 But if her husband be dead, she is free from that law, so that she is no 00:34.680 --> 00:37.480 adulteress, though she be married to another man. 00:38.320 --> 00:42.880 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ, 00:43.360 --> 00:48.200 that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, 00:48.500 --> 00:50.840 that we should bring forth fruit unto God. 00:51.400 --> 00:55.300 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the 00:55.300 --> 00:58.920 law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. 00:59.380 --> 01:04.020 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held, 01:04.660 --> 01:09.600 that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. 01:10.400 --> 01:11.540 What shall we say then? 01:11.920 --> 01:13.180 Is the law sin? 01:13.660 --> 01:14.320 God forbid! 01:15.040 --> 01:20.440 Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law, for I had not known lust, except the law 01:20.440 --> 01:22.420 had said, Thou shalt not covet. 01:22.420 --> 01:27.140 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of 01:27.140 --> 01:27.900 concupiscence. 01:28.280 --> 01:30.200 For without the law, sin was dead. 01:30.800 --> 01:33.920 For I was alive without the law once, but when the commandment came, 01:34.300 --> 01:36.020 sin revived, and I died. 01:36.500 --> 01:40.440 And the commandment which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. 01:40.880 --> 01:46.300 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew 01:46.300 --> 01:46.540 me. 01:47.240 --> 01:51.800 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. 01:52.700 --> 01:55.420 Was then that which is good made death unto me? 01:56.080 --> 01:56.680 God forbid! 01:57.260 --> 02:01.880 But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good, 02:02.360 --> 02:06.200 that sin, by the commandment, might become exceeding sinful. 02:07.060 --> 02:12.660 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold unto sin. 02:13.280 --> 02:15.500 For that which I do, I allow not. 02:16.120 --> 02:20.880 For what I would, that do I not, but what I hate, that do I. 02:21.600 --> 02:27.140 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law, that it is good. 02:27.580 --> 02:32.500 Now then, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 02:32.960 --> 02:38.000 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing. 02:38.500 --> 02:43.600 For to will is present with me, but how to perform, that which is good, 02:43.760 --> 02:44.440 I find not. 02:44.880 --> 02:49.600 For the good that I would, I do not, but the evil which I would not, 02:49.800 --> 02:50.580 that I do. 02:51.160 --> 02:56.660 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth 02:56.660 --> 02:57.160 in me. 02:57.580 --> 03:02.660 I find then a law, that when I would do good, evil is present with me. 03:03.080 --> 03:06.500 For I delight in the law of God, after the inward man. 03:06.500 --> 03:11.640 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, 03:11.720 --> 03:16.440 and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin, which is in my members. 03:16.980 --> 03:18.880 O wretched man that I am! 03:19.220 --> 03:21.980 Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 03:22.580 --> 03:25.660 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 03:26.680 --> 03:32.760 So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
