9 For formerly apart from the torah, I lived: but when the misvah came, sin relived and I died.
10 And the misvah for life, I found for death.
11 For sin, taking opportunity through the misvah, seduced me and thereby slaughtered me.
12 So indeed the torah is holy and the misvah holy and just and good.

TWO NATURES UNDER THE TORAH
So has the good become my death? So be it not. But sin, manifest as sin, to work death in me through the good; so that through the misvah sin becomes exceeding sinful. 14 For we know the torah is spiritual: and I am fleshly, sold under sin. 15 For what I work, I know not: for what I will, I transact not; but what I hate, I do. 16 So if I do what I not will, I assent with the torah that it is good. 17 So now it is not still I who work it, but the sin dwelling in me. 18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good: for to will is present with me; but to work good, I find not. 19 For the good I will, I do not: but the evil I do not will, I transact. 20 And if I do what I not will, it is not still I who works, but sin that dwells in me. 21 So I find the torah, that, when I will to do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the torah of Elohim after the inward human: 23 and I see another torah in my members, warring against the torah of my mind and capturing me to the torah of sin being in my members. 24 Miserable human - I! Who rescues me from the body of this death?
