CHAPTER 7

| 1 | η |  | αγνοειτε |  | αδελφοι |  | γινωσκουσιν |  | γαρ |  | νομον |  | λαλω |  | οτι |  | ο |
|  | Are ye ignorant, |  | ♦ |  | brethren, |  | for to those knowing |  | ♦ |  | law |  | I speak, |  | that |  | the |

νομος |  | κυριευει |  | του |  | ανθρωπου |  | εφ |  | οσον |  | χρονον |  | ζη |  |
law |  | rules over |  | the |  | man |  | for |  | as long as 2 |  | time 1 |  | he may live? |  |

| 2 | η |  | γαρ |  | υπανδρος |  | γυνη |  | τω |  | ζωντι |  | ανδρι |  | δεδεται |  | νομω |  | εαν |  | δε |
|  | For the |  | ♦ |  | married |  | woman |  | to the |  | living |  | husband |  | is bound |  | by law; |  | but if |  | ♦ |

αποθανη |  | ο |  | ανηρ |  | κατηργηται |  | απο |  | του |  | νομου |  | του |  | ανδρος |  |
should die |  | the |  | husband, |  | she is cleared |  | from |  | the |  | law |  | of the |  | husband; |  |

| 3 | αρα |  | ουν |  | ζωντος |  | του |  | ανδρος |  | μοιχαλις |  | χρηματισει |  | εαν |  | γενηται |
|  | so then, |  | ♦ |  | living 3 |  | the 1 |  | husband, 2 |  | an adulteress |  | she shall be called, |  | if |  | she be |

ανδρι |  | ετερω |  | εαν |  | δε |  | αποθανη |  | ο |  | ανηρ |  | ελευθερα |  | εστιν |  | απο |  | του |  | νομου |
to man 2 |  | another; 1 |  | but if |  | ♦ |  | should die |  | the |  | husband, |  | free |  | she is |  | from |  | the |  | law, |

του |  | μη |  | ειναι |  | αυτην |  | μοιχαλιδα |  | γενομενην |  | ανδρι |  | ετερω |  |
the |  | so as for her not to be |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | an adulteress |  | having become |  | to man 2 |  | another. 1 |  |

| 4 | ωστε |  | αδελφοι |  | μου |  | και |  | υμεις |  | εθανατωθητε |  | τω |  | νομω |  | δια |  | του |
|  | So that, |  | my brethren, |  | ♦ |  | also |  | ye |  | were made dead |  | to the |  | law |  | by |  | the |

σωματος |  | του |  | χριστου |  | εις |  | το |  | γενεσθαι |  | υμας |  | ετερω |  | τω |  | εκ |
body |  | of the |  | Christ, |  | for |  | ♦ |  | to 2 be 3 |  | you 1 |  | to another |  | who |  | from among [the] |

νεκρων |  | εγερθεντι |  | ινα |  | καρποφορησωμεν |  | τω |  | θεω |  |
dead |  | was raised, |  | that |  | we should bring forth fruit |  | ♦ |  | to God. |  |

| 5 | οτε |  | γαρ |  | ημεν |  | εν |  | τη |  | σαρκι |  | τα |  | παθηματα |  | των |  | αμαρτιων |  | τα |
|  | For when |  | ♦ |  | we were |  | in |  | the |  | flesh, |  | the |  | passions |  | ♦ |  | of sins, |  | which [were] |

δια |  | του |  | νομου |  | ενηργειτο |  | εν |  | τοις |  | μελεσιν |  | ημων |  | εις |  | το |
through |  | the |  | law, |  | wrought |  | in |  | our members |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | to |  | the |

καρποφορησαι |  | τω |  | θανατω |  |
bringing forth fruit |  | ♦ |  | death; |  |

| 6 | νυνι |  | δε |  | κατηργηθημεν |  | απο |  | του |  | νομου |  | αποθανοντες |  | εν |  | ω |
|  | but now |  | ♦ |  | we were cleared |  | from |  | the |  | law, |  | having died [in that] |  | in |  | which |

κατειχομεθα |  | ωστε |  | δουλευειν |  | ημας |  | εν |  | καινοτητι |  | πνευματος |  | και |  | ου |
we were held, |  | so that |  | should 2 serve 3 |  | we 1 |  | in |  | newness |  | of spirit, |  | and |  | not |

παλαιοτητι |  | γραμματος |  |
in oldness |  | of letter. |  |

| 7 | τι |  | ουν |  | ερουμεν |  | ο |  | νομος |  | αμαρτια |  | μη |  | γενοιτο |  | αλλα |  | την |
|  | What |  | then |  | shall we say? |  | [Is] the |  | law |  | sin? |  | May it not be! |  | ♦ |  | But |  | ♦ |

αμαρτιαν |  | ουκ |  | εγνων |  | ει |  | μη |  | δια |  | νομου |  | την |  | τε |  | γαρ |  | επιθυμιαν |
sin |  | I knew not |  | ♦ |  | unless |  | ♦ |  | by |  | law: |  | for also |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | lust |

ουκ |  | ηδειν |  | ει |  | μη |  | ο |  | νομος |  | ελεγεν |  | ουκ |  | επιθυμησεις |  |
I had not been conscious of |  | ♦ |  | unless |  | ♦ |  | the |  | law |  | said, |  | Not 3 |  | thou 1 shalt 2 lust; |  |

| 8 | αφορμην |  | δε |  | λαβουσα |  | η |  | αμαρτια |  | δια |  | της |  | εντολης |
|  | but an 4 occaision 5 |  | ♦ |  | having 2 taken 3 |  | ♦ |  | sin 1 |  | by |  | the |  | commandment |

κατειργασατο |  | εν |  | εμοι |  | πασαν |  | επιθυμιαν |  | χωρις |  | γαρ |  | νομου |  | αμαρτια |
worked out |  | in |  | me |  | every |  | lust; |  | for apart from |  | ♦ |  | law |  | sin |

νεκρα |  |
[was] dead. |  |

| 9 | εγω |  | δε |  | εζων |  | χωρις |  | νομου |  | ποτε |  | ελθουσης |  | δε |  | της |  | εντολης |  | η |
|  | But I |  | ♦ |  | was alive |  | apart from |  | law |  | once; |  | but having come |  | ♦ |  | the |  | commandment, |  | ♦ |

αμαρτια |  | ανεζησεν |  | εγω |  | δε |  | απεθανον |  |
sin |  | revived, |  | but I |  | ♦ |  | died. |  |

| 10 | και |  | ευρεθη |  | μοι |  | η |  | εντολη |  | η |  | εις |  | ζωην |  | αυτη |  | εις |
|  | And |  | was found |  | to me [that] |  | the |  | commandment |  | which [was] |  | to |  | life, |  | this |  | [to be] to |

θανατον |  |
death: |  |

| 11 | η |  | γαρ |  | αμαρτια |  | αφορμην |  | λαβουσα |  | δια |  | της |  | εντολης |
|  | for sin |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | an 3 occasion 4 |  | having 1 taken 2 |  | by |  | the |  | commandment, |

εξηπατησεν |  | με |  | και |  | δι |  | αυτης |  | απεκτεινεν |  |
deceived |  | me, |  | and |  | by |  | it |  | slew [me]. |  |

| 12 | ωστε |  | ο |  | μεν |  | νομος |  | αγιος |  | και |  | η |  | εντολη |  | αγια |  | και |  | δικαια |
|  | So that |  | the law indeed [is] |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | holy, |  | and |  | the |  | commandment |  | holy |  | and |  | just |

και |  | αγαθη |  |
and |  | good. |  |

| 13 | το |  | ουν |  | αγαθον |  | εμοι |  | γεγονεν |  | θανατος |  | μη |  | γενοιτο |
|  | That which |  | then [is] |  | good, |  | to me |  | has it become |  | death? |  | May it not be! |  | ♦ |

αλλα |  | η |  | αμαρτια |  | ινα |  | φανη |  | αμαρτια |  | δια |  | του |  | αγαθου |  | μοι |
But |  | ♦ |  | sin, |  | that |  | it might appear |  | sin, |  | by |  | that which [is] |  | good |  | to me |

κατεργαζομενη |  | θανατον |  | ινα |  | γενηται |  | καθ |  | υπερβολην |  | αμαρτωλος |  | η |
working out |  | death; |  | that |  | might 2 become 3 |  | ♦ |  | excessively 4 |  | sinful 5 |  | ♦ |

αμαρτια |  | δια |  | της |  | εντολης |  |
sin 1 |  | by |  | the |  | commandment. |  |

|  | For we know |  | ♦ |  | that |  | the |  | law |  | spiritual |  | is; |  | but I |  | ♦ |  | fleshly 2 |  | am, 1 |

πεπραμενος |  | υπο |  | την |  | αμαρτιαν |  |
having been sold |  | under |  | ♦ |  | sin. |  |

|  | But if |  | ♦ |  | what |  | I do not will, |  | ♦ |  | this |  | I practise, |  | I consent |  | to the |  | law |  | that [it is] |

καλος |  |
right. |  |

| 17 | νυνι |  | δε |  | ουκετι |  | εγω |  | κατεργαζομαι |  | αυτο |  | αλλ |  | η |  | οικουσα |  | εν |  | εμοι |

good: |  | for to will |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | is present with |  | me, |  | but |  | ♦ |  | to work out |

κατεργαζεσθαι |  | το |  | καλον |  | ουχ |  |
the |  | right |  | I find not. |  | ♦ |  |

| 19 | ου |  | γαρ |  | ο |  | θελω |  | ποιω |  | αγαθον |  | αλλ |  | ο |  | ου |  | θελω |

κακον |  | τουτο |  | πρασσω |  |
evil, 1 |  | this |  | I do. |  |

| 20 | ει |  | δε |  | ο |  | ου |  | θελω |  | εγω |  | τουτο |  | ποιω |  | ουκετι |  | εγω |
