7What therefore shall we say? The law is sin? God forbid. But I knew not sin, no but by the law, (or But I did not know sin, except for the Law); for I knew not that coveting was sin, no but for the law said, Thou shalt not covet.
8And through occasion taken, sin by the commandment hath wrought in me all covetousness; for without the law, sin was dead.
9And I lived without the law sometime; but when the commandment was come or but when the commandment had come, sin lived again. But I was dead,
10and this commandment that was to life, was found to me, to be to death.
11For sin, through occasion taken by the commandment, deceived me, and by that it slew me.
12Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, and just, and good.
13Is then that thing that is good, made death to me? God forbid. But sin, that it seem sin, through good thing wrought death to me, (so) that me sin over-manner/(so) that men sin over-manner through the commandment. Therefore that that is good, is made death to me? Far be it. But that sin appear, or be known, (as) sin, through good thing wrought death to me, (so) that there be made sin sinning over-manner or over-measure, by (the) commandment.
14And we know, that the law is spiritual; but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
15For I understand not that that I work; for I do not the good thing that I will, (or for I do not do the good thing that I desire to do), but I do that evil thing that I hate.
16And if I do that thing that I will not, (then) I consent to the law, that it is good. (And if I do that which I do not desire to do, then I agree with the Law, that it is good, or that it is right.)
17But now I work not it now, but the sin that dwelleth in me. Now soothly I work not it now/Now soothly I work not that thing now, but that sin that dwelleth in me.
18But I know, that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good; for will lieth to me, (or for the will, or the desire, to do good, lieth before me), but I find not (how) to perform (any) good thing.
19For I do not that good thing that I will, but I do that evil thing that I will not. (For I do not do that good thing that I desire to do, but I do that evil thing that I do not desire to do.)
