Romans 7:9-24

Murdock(i) 9 And I, without the law, was alive formerly; but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died; 10 and the commandment of life was found by me to be unto death. 11 For sin, by the occasion which it found by means of the commandment, seduced me; and thereby slew me. 12 Wherefore, the law is holy; and the commandment is holy, and righteous, and good. 13 Did that which is good, therefore, become death to me? Far be it. But sin, that it might be seen to be sin, perfected death in me by means of that good law; that sin might the more be condemned, by means of the commandment. 14 For we know, that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, and sold to sin. 15 For what I am doing, I know not: and what I would, I do not perform; but what I hate, that I do. 16 And if I do what I would not, I testify of the law, that it is right. 17 And then, it is no more I who do that thing; but sin, which dwelleth in me. 18 For I know, that in me, (that is, in my flesh,) good dwelleth not: because, to approve the good, is easy for me; but to do it, I am unable. 19 For I do not perform the good, which I would perform; but the bad, which I would not perform, that I do perform. 20 And if I do what I would not, it is not I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me. 21 I find therefore a law coinciding with my conscience, which assenteth to my doing good, whereas evil is near to me. 22 For I rejoice in the law of God, in the interior man. 23 But I see another law in my members, which warreth against the law of my conscience, and maketh me a captive to the law of sin which existeth in my members 24 O, a miserable man, am I! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
