Romans 7:9-24

Etheridge(i) 9 But I was alive without the law formerly: but when the commandment came, sin lived, and I died. 10 And that commandment of life was found to me (to tend) unto death. 11 For sin, by the occasion it found through the commandment, deceived me, and thereby killed me. 12 The law therefore is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. 13 The good, then, unto me, unto death was made? Not so. But sin, that it might be seen what sin is, by the good (law) effected death in me, that sin might be the more condemned by the commandment. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual; [Da-ruch, "Of the spirit."] but I am carnal, and sold unto sin. 15 For what I work, I know [Or, acknowledge, approve.] not; and not that which I will, I do; but what I hate, that I do. 16 And if the thing that I would not, I do, I witness of the law that it is good. [Shaphir.] 17 But now it is not I who work this, but sin which dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me, but that is in my flesh, good dwelleth not; because to will the good is easy to me, but to perform it I find not. 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not; but the evil that I will not to do, that do I. 20 And if the thing that I will not I do, it is not I who do it, but sin which dwelleth in me. 21 I find then a law which accordeth with my mind, that willeth to do good, because evil is near to me. 22 For I rejoice in the law of Aloha in the interior man; 23 but I see another law in my members, which warreth against the law of my mind, making me captive to the law of sin that is in my members. 24 Miserable son of man am I! who will deliver me from this body of death?
