Tyndale(i)
9 I once lived with out lawe. But when the commaundement came synne revyved and I was deed.
10 And the very same comaundement which was ordeyned vnto lyfe was founde to be vnto me an occasion of deeth.
11 For synne toke occasion by the meanes of the comaundement and so disceaved me and by the selfe commaundement slewe we.
12 Wherfore the lawe is holy and the commaundement holy iust and good.
13 Was that then which is good made deeth vnto me? God forbyd. Naye synne was deeth vnto me that it myght appere how that synne by the meanes of that which is good had wrought deeth in me: that synne which is vnder the commandemet myght be out of measure synfull.
14 For we knowe that the lawe is spirituall: but I am carnall solde vnder synne
15 because I wote not what I doo. For what I wold that do I not: but what I hate that do I.
16 Yf I do now that which I wolde not I graute to the lawe that it is good.
17 So then nowe it is not I that do it but synne that dwelleth in me.
18 For I knowe that in me (that is to saye in my flesshe) dwelleth no good thinge. To will is present with me: but I fynde no meanes to performe that which is good.
19 For I doo not yt good thinge which I wold: but that evill do I which I wolde not.
20 Finally yf I do that I wolde not then is it not I that doo it but synne that dwelleth in me doeth it.
21 I fynde then by the lawe that when I wolde do good evyll is present with me.
22 I delite in the lawe of God concerninge the inner man.
23 But I se another lawe in my membres rebellinge agaynst the lawe of my mynde and subduynge me vnto the lawe of synne which is in my membres.
24 O wretched man yt I am: who shall delyver me fro this body of deeth?
