Послание к Римлянам 7

1 Или не разумеете, братие: ведущым бо закон глаголю: яко закон обладает над человеком, во елико время живет?2 Ибо мужатая жена живу мужу привязана есть законом: аще ли же умрет муж ея, разрешится от закона мужескаго.3 Темже убо, живу сущу мужу, прелюбодейца бывает, аще будет мужеви иному: аще ли умрет муж ея, свободна есть от закона, не быти ей прелюбодейце, бывшей мужу иному.4 Темже, братие моя, и вы умросте закону телом Христовым, во еже быти вам иному, воставшему из мертвых, да плод принесем Богови.5 Егда бо бехом во плоти, страсти греховныя, яже законом, действоваху во удех наших, во еже плод творити смерти:6 ныне же упразднихомся от закона, умерше, имже держими бехом, яко работати нам (Богови) во обновлении духа, а не в ветхости писмене.7 Что убо речем? закон ли грех? Да не будет: но греха не знах, точию законом: похоти же не ведах, аще не бы закон глаголал: не похощеши.8 Вину же прием грех заповедию, содела во мне всяку похоть: без закона бо грех мертв есть.9 Аз же живях кроме закона иногда: пришедшей же заповеди, грех убо оживе,10 аз же умрох: и обретеся ми заповедь, яже в живот, сия в смерть,11 грех бо вину прием заповедию, прельсти мя, и тою умертви мя.12 Темже убо закон свят, и заповедь свята и праведна и блага.13 Благое ли убо бысть мне смерть? Да не будет: но грех, да явится грех, благим ми содевая смерть, да будет по премногу грешен грех заповедию.14 Вемы бо, яко закон духовен есть: аз же плотян есмь, продан под грех.15 Еже бо содеваю, не разумею: не еже бо хощу, сие творю, но еже ненавижду, то соделоваю.16 Аще ли, еже не хощу, сие творю, хвалю закон яко добр,17 ныне же не ктому аз сие содеваю, но живый во мне грех.18 Вем бо, яко не живет во мне, сиречь во плоти моей, доброе: еже бо хотети прилежит ми, а еже содеяти доброе, не обретаю.19 Не еже бо хощу доброе, творю, но еже не хощу злое, сие содеваю.20 Аще ли, еже не хощу аз, сие творю, уже не аз сие творю, но живый во мне грех.21 Обретаю убо закон, хотящу ми творити доброе, яко мне злое прилежит.22 Соуслаждаюся бо закону Божию по внутреннему человеку:23 вижду же ин закон во удех моих, противу воюющь закону ума моего и пленяющь мя законом греховным, сущим во удех моих.24 Окаянен аз человек: кто мя избавит от тела смерти сея?25 Благодарю Бога моего Иисус Христом Господем нашим. Темже убо сам аз умом моим работаю закону Божию, плотию же закону греховному.

Romans 7

The Believer’s Relationship to the Law

1 Or do you not know, brothers and sisterst (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law is lord over a persons as long as he lives?2 For a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if hert husband dies, she is released from the law of the marriage.ts3 So then,t if she is joined to another man while her husband is alive, she will be called an adulteress. But if hert husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she is joined to another man, she is not an adulteress.4 So, my brothers and sisters,t you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God.t5 For when we were in the flesh,t the sinful desires,t aroused by the law, were active in the members of our bodyt to bear fruit for death.

6 But now we have been released from the law, because we have diedt to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code.t
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! Certainly, Is would not have known sin except through the law. For indeed I would not have known what it means to desire something belonging to someone elset if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”s8 But sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of wrong desires.t For apart from the law, sin is dead.9 And I was once alive apart from the law, but with the coming of the commandment sin became alive10 and I died. Sot I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life brought death!t11 For sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it I died.t

12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.
13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Absolutely not! But sin, so that it would be shown to be sin, produced death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.14 For we know that the law is spiritual – but I am unspiritual, sold into slavery to sin.t15 For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I do not do what I want – instead, I do what I hate.t16 But if I do what I don’t want, I agree that the law is good.t17 But now it is no longer me doing it, but sin that lives in me.18 For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For I want to do the good, but I cannot do it.t19 For I do not do the good I want, but I do the very evil I do not want!

20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer me doing it but sin that lives in me.
21 So, I find the law that when I want to do good, evil is present with me.22 For I delight in the law of God in my inner being.23 But I see a different law in my members waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that is in my members.24 Wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?

25 Thanks bes to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then,t I myself serve the law of God with my mind, butt with my flesh I servet the law of sin.
