4 God forbid [3361] [1096]: yea [1161], let [1096] God [2316] be [1096] true [227], but [1161] every [3956] man [444] a liar [5583]; as [2531] it is written [1125], That [3704] thou mightest [302] be justified [1344] in [1722] thy [4675] sayings [3056], and [2532] mightest overcome [3528] when [1722] thou [4571] art judged [2919].
24 Wherefore [5620] the law [3551] was [1096] our [2257] schoolmaster [3807] to bring us unto [1519] Christ [5547], that [2443] we might be justified [1344] by [1537] faith [4102].
1 [2228] Know ye not [50], brethren [80], (for [1063] I speak [2980] to them that know [1097] the law [3551],) how that [3754] the law [3551] hath dominion over [2961] a man [444] as long as [1909] [3745] [5550] he liveth [2198]?
2 For [1063] the woman [1135] which hath an husband [5220] is bound [1210] by the law [3551] to her husband [435] so long as he liveth [2198]; but [1161] if [1437] the husband [435] be dead [599], she is loosed [2673] from [575] the law [3551] of her husband [435].
3 So then [686] [3767] if [1437], while her husband [435] liveth [2198], she be married [1096] to another [2087] man [435], she shall be called [5537] an adulteress [3428]: but [1161] if [1437] her husband [435] be dead [599], she is [2076] free [1658] from [575] that law [3551]; so that she [846] is [1511] no [3361] adulteress [3428], though she be married [1096] to another [2087] man [435].
6 But [1161] now [3570] we are delivered [2673] from [575] the law [3551], that being dead [599] [599] wherein [1722] [3739] we were held [2722]; that [5620] we [2248] should serve [1398] in [1722] newness [2538] of spirit [4151], and [2532] not [3756] in the oldness [3821] of the letter [1121].
4 Wherefore [5620], my [3450] brethren [80], ye [5210] also [2532] are become dead [2289] to the law [3551] by [1223] the body [4983] of Christ [5547]; that [1519] ye [5209] should be married [1096] to another [2087], even to him who is raised [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498], that [2443] we should bring forth fruit [2592] unto God [2316].
7 For [1063] he that is dead [599] is freed [1344] from [575] sin [266].
6 Knowing [1097] this [5124], that [3754] our [2257] old [3820] man [444] is crucified with [4957] him, that [2443] the body [4983] of sin [266] might be destroyed [2673], that henceforth [3371] we [2248] should [1398] not [3371] serve [1398] sin [266].
1 [2228] Know ye not [50], brethren [80], (for [1063] I speak [2980] to them that know [1097] the law [3551],) how that [3754] the law [3551] hath dominion over [2961] a man [444] as long as [1909] [3745] [5550] he liveth [2198]?
2 For [1063] the woman [1135] which hath an husband [5220] is bound [1210] by the law [3551] to her husband [435] so long as he liveth [2198]; but [1161] if [1437] the husband [435] be dead [599], she is loosed [2673] from [575] the law [3551] of her husband [435].
3 So then [686] [3767] if [1437], while her husband [435] liveth [2198], she be married [1096] to another [2087] man [435], she shall be called [5537] an adulteress [3428]: but [1161] if [1437] her husband [435] be dead [599], she is [2076] free [1658] from [575] that law [3551]; so that she [846] is [1511] no [3361] adulteress [3428], though she be married [1096] to another [2087] man [435].
4 Wherefore [5620], my [3450] brethren [80], ye [5210] also [2532] are become dead [2289] to the law [3551] by [1223] the body [4983] of Christ [5547]; that [1519] ye [5209] should be married [1096] to another [2087], even to him who is raised [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498], that [2443] we should bring forth fruit [2592] unto God [2316].
5 For [1063] when [3753] we were [2258] in [1722] the flesh [4561], the motions [3804] of sins [266], which [3588] were by [1223] the law [3551], did work [1754] in [1722] our [2257] members [3196] to bring [1519] forth fruit [2592] unto death [2288].
6 But [1161] now [3570] we are delivered [2673] from [575] the law [3551], that being dead [599] [599] wherein [1722] [3739] we were held [2722]; that [5620] we [2248] should serve [1398] in [1722] newness [2538] of spirit [4151], and [2532] not [3756] in the oldness [3821] of the letter [1121].
16 Know ye [1492] not [3756], that [3754] to whom [3739] ye yield [3936] yourselves [1438] servants [1401] to [1519] obey [5218], his servants [1401] ye are [2075] to whom [3739] ye obey [5219]; whether [2273] of sin [266] unto [1519] death [2288], or [2228] of obedience [5218] unto [1519] righteousness [1343]?
17 But [1161] God [2316] be thanked [5485], that [3754] ye were [2258] the servants [1401] of sin [266], but [1161] ye have obeyed [5219] from [1537] the heart [2588] that form [5179] of doctrine [1322] which [1519] [3739] was delivered you [3860].
18 Being [1659] then [1161] made free [1659] from [575] sin [266], ye became the servants [1402] of righteousness [1343].
19 I speak [3004] after the manner of men [442] because [1223] of the infirmity [769] of your [5216] flesh [4561]: for [1063] as [5618] ye have yielded [3936] your [5216] members [3196] servants [1401] to uncleanness [167] and [2532] to iniquity [458] unto [1519] iniquity [458]; even so [3779] now [3568] yield [3936] your [5216] members [3196] servants [1401] to righteousness [1343] unto [1519] holiness [38].
20 For [1063] when [3753] ye were [2258] the servants [1401] of sin [266], ye were [2258] free [1658] from righteousness [1343].
21 What [5101] [3767] fruit [2590] had ye [2192] then [5119] in [1909] those things whereof [3739] ye are [1870] now [3568] ashamed [1870]? for [1063] the end [5056] of those things [1565] is death [2288].
22 But [1161] now [3570] being made free [1659] from [575] sin [266], and [1161] become servants [1402] to God [2316], ye have [2192] your [5216] fruit [2590] unto [1519] holiness [38], and [1161] the end [5056] everlasting [166] life [2222].
23 For [1063] the wages [3800] of sin [266] is death [2288]; but [1161] the gift [5486] of God [2316] is eternal [166] life [2222] through [1722] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962].
