Chap. VII.
Our former husband (sinne) vvith his lavv, is dead in Baptisme: and novv vve are
maried to an other husband (to Christ) to bring forth children to God, that is,
good vvorkes. 7 And hovv the Lavv being good, vvas yet to vs the lavv of
sinne and death, because concupiscence reigned in vs. 17 But novv by Baptisme
grace reigneth in vs, though also concupiscence doth remaine and tempt vs still.
1 Are you ignorant brethren (for I speake
to them that knovv the Lavv) that the
Lavv hath dominion ouer a man as long
time as he liueth?
2 for note the vvoman that
is vnder a husband: note her husband liuing
is bound to the lavv. but if her husband
be dead, she is loosed from the lavv of
her husband.
3 Therfore her husband liuing, she shal be
called an aduouteresse if she be vvith an other man: but if
her husband be dead, she is deliuered from the lavv of
her husband: so that she is not an aduouteresse if she be
-- --
vvith an other man.
4 Therfore my brethren note you also are
made dead to the Lavv by the body of Christ: that you may
be an other mans vvho is risen againe from the dead, that vve
may fructifie to God.
5 For vvhen vve vvere in the flesh,
the passions of sinnes, that vvere by the Lavv, did vvorke in
our members, to fructifie vnto death.
6 but novv vve are
loosed from the lavv of death, vvherein vve vvere deteined:
note in so much vve serue in note nevvnesse of spirit, and not in the
oldnes of the letter.
7 Vvhat shal vve say then? is the Lavv sinne? God forbid.
But sinne I did not knovv, but by the Lavv, for concupisc&ebar;ce
I knevv not, vnlesse the lavv did say:09Q0989 Thou shalt not couet. note
8 But note occasion being taken, sinne by the commaundement
vvrought in me al c&obar;cupiscence. For vvithout the Lavv sinne
vvas dead.
9 And I liued vvithout the Lavv sometime. But
vvhen the commaundement vvas come, sinne reuiued.
10 And
I vvas dead: and the commaundement, that vvas vnto life,
the same to me vvas found to be vnto death.
11 For sinne
taking occasion by the commaundement, seduced me, and by
it killed me.
12 Therfore note the Lavv in deede is holy, and the
commaundement holy, and iust, and good.
13 That th&ebar; vvhich is good, to me vvas it made death? God
forbid. but sinne, that it may appeare sinne, by the good thing
vvrought me death: that sinne might become sinning aboue
measure by the c&obar;maundem&ebar;t.
14 For vve knovv that the Law
is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold vnder sinne.
15 For09Q0990 that which
I vvorke, I vnderstand not. for09Q0991 not that vvhich I vvil, the
same do I: but vvhich I hate, that I doe.
16 And if that vvhich
I vvil not, the same I doe: I c&obar;sent to the Lavv, that it is good.
17 But novv, not I vvorke it any more, but the sinne that
dvvelleth in me.
18 For I know that there dvvelleth not in me,
that is to say, in my flesh, good. For to vvil, is pres&ebar;t vvith me,
but to accomplish that vvhich is good, I finde not.
19 For
09Q0992 not the good vvhich I vvil, that doe I: but the euil09Q0993 vvhich
I vvil not, that I doe.
20 And if that vvhich I vvil not, the
same I doe: novv not I vvorke it, but the sinne that dvvelleth
in me.
21 I finde therfore, the Lavv, to me hauing a vvil
to doe good, that euil is present vvith me. note
22 For I am delighted
vvith the lavv of God according to the invvard man:
23 but I see an other lavv in my members, repugning to the
lavv of my minde, and captîuing me in the lavv of sinne that
-- --
is in my members.
24 Vnhappie man that I am, vvho shal
deliuer me from the body of this death?
25 The grace of God
by Iesvs Christ our Lord. &cross4; Therfore I my self09Q0994 vvith the
minde note serue the lavv of God, but vvith the flesh, the lavv
of sinne.
