Geneva(i)
9 For I once was aliue, without the Law: but when the commandement came, sinne reuiued,
10 But I died: and the same commandement which was ordeined vnto life, was found to be vnto me vnto death.
11 For sinne tooke occasion by the commandement, and deceiued me, and thereby slewe me.
12 Wherefore the Lawe is holy, and that commandement is holy, and iust, and good.
13 Was that then which is good, made death vnto me? God forbid: but sinne, that it might appeare sinne, wrought death in me by that which is good, that sinne might be out of measure sinfull by the commandement.
14 For we knowe that the Law is spirituall, but I am carnall, solde vnder sinne.
15 For I alow not that which I do: for what I would, that do I not: but what I hate, that do I.
16 If I doe then that which I woulde not, I consent to the Lawe, that it is good.
17 Nowe then, it is no more I, that doe it, but sinne that dwelleth in me.
18 For I know, that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to wil is preset with me: but I find no meanes to perform that which is good.
19 For I doe not the good thing, which I would, but the euil, which I would not, that do I.
20 Nowe if I do that I would not, it is no more I that doe it, but the sinne that dwelleth in me.
21 I finde then that when I would doe good, I am thus yoked, that euill is present with me.
22 For I delite in the Law of God, concerning the inner man:
23 But I see another Law in my members, rebelling against the Lawe of my minde, and leading me captiue vnto the lawe of sinne, which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am, who shall deliuer me from the body of this death!
