Romans 7 - Douy-Rheims Bible Challoner Revision

¹ And I lived some time without the law. But when the commandment came, sin revived,

² 0 And I died. And the commandment that was ordained to life, the same was found to be unto death to me.

³ 1 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, seduced me, and by it killed me.

⁴ 2 Wherefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

⁵ 3 Was that then which is good, made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it may appear sin, by that which is good, wrought death in me; that sin, by the commandment, might become sinful above measure.

⁶ 4 For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.

⁷ 5 For that which I work, I understand not. For I do not that good which I will; but the evil which I hate, that I do.

⁸ 6 If then I do that which I will not, I consent to the law, that it is good.

⁹ 7 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

¹⁰ 8 For I know that there dwelleth not in me, that is to say, in my flesh, that which is good. For to will, is present with me; but to accomplish that which is good, I find not.

¹¹ 9 For the good which I will, I do not; but the evil which I will not, that I do.

¹² 0 Now if I do that which I will not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

¹³ 1 I find then a law, that when I have a will to do good, evil is present with me.

¹⁴ 2 For I am delighted with the law of God, according to the inward man:

¹⁵ 3 But I see another law in my members, fighting against the law of my mind, and captivating me in the law of sin, that is in my members.

¹⁶ 4 Unhappy man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

¹⁷ 5 The grace of God, by Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore, I myself, with the mind serve the law of God; but with the flesh, the law of sin.

¹⁸ THERE is now therefore no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh.

¹⁹ For the law of the spirit of life, in Christ Jesus, hath delivered me from the law of sin and of death.

²⁰ For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh; God sending his own Son, in the likeness of sinful flesh and of sin, hath condemned sin in the flesh;

²¹ That the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.

²² For they that are according to the flesh, mind the things that are of the flesh; but they that are according to the spirit, mind the things that are of the spirit.

²³ For the wisdom of the flesh is death; but the wisdom of the spirit is life and peace.

²⁴ Because the wisdom of the flesh is an enemy to God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither can it be.

²⁵ And they who are in the flesh, cannot please God.
