Romerne 7
Det Norsk Bibelselskap 1930
7 Eller vet I ikke, brødre - jeg taler jo til slike som kjenner loven - at loven hersker over mennesket så lenge det lever?
2 Den gifte kvinne er jo ved loven bundet til sin mann så lenge han lever; men dersom mannen dør, er hun løst fra loven som bandt henne til mannen.
3 Derfor skal hun kalles en horkvinne om hun, mens mannen lever, ekter en annen mann; men dersom mannen dør, er hun fri fra loven, så hun ikke blir en horkvinne om hun ekter en annen mann.
4 Derfor, mine brødre, døde også I fra loven ved Kristi legeme, forat I skulde høre en annen til, ham som er opstanden fra de døde, så vi kan bære frukt for Gud.
5 For da vi var i kjødet, virket de syndige lyster, som vaktes ved loven, således i våre lemmer at vi bar frukt for døden;
6 men nu er vi løst fra loven, idet vi er død fra det som vi var fanget under, så vi tjener i Åndens nye vesen, og ikke i bokstavens gamle vesen.
7 Hvad skal vi da si? er loven synd? Langt derifra! men jeg kjente ikke synden uten ved loven; for begjærligheten kjente jeg ikke dersom ikke loven hadde sagt: Du skal ikke begjære.
8 Men synden tok anledning av budet og virket alskens begjærlighet i mig; for uten lov er synden død.
9 Jeg levde en tid uten lov; men da budet kom, blev synden levende igjen,
10 jeg derimot døde; og budet, som var til liv, det blev funnet å være mig til død;
11 for synden tok anledning av budet og dåret og drepte mig ved det.
12 Så er da loven hellig, og budet hellig og rettferdig og godt.
13 Er da det som er godt, blitt mig til død? Langt derifra! men det var synden, forat den skulde vise sig som synd, idet den voldte mig døden ved det som er godt - forat synden skulde bli overvettes syndig ved budet.
14 For vi vet at loven er åndelig; jeg derimot er kjødelig, solgt under synden;
15 for hvad jeg gjør, vet jeg ikke; for jeg gjør ikke det som jeg vil; men det som jeg hater, det gjør jeg.
16 Men gjør jeg det som jeg ikke vil, da vidner jeg jo med loven at den er god;
17 men nu er det ikke mere jeg som gjør det, men synden, som bor i mig.
18 For jeg vet at i mig, det er i mitt kjød, bor intet godt; for viljen har jeg, men å gjøre det gode makter jeg ikke;
19 for jeg gjør ikke det gode som jeg vil, men det onde som jeg ikke vil, det gjør jeg.
20 Men gjør jeg det som jeg ikke vil, da er det ikke mere jeg som gjør det, men synden, som bor i mig.
21 Så finner jeg da den lov for mig, jeg som vil gjøre det gode, at det onde ligger mig for hånden;
22 for jeg har lyst til Guds lov efter mitt innvortes menneske,
23 men jeg ser en annen lov i mine lemmer, som strider mot loven i mitt sinn og tar mig til fange under syndens lov, den som er i mine lemmer.
24 Jeg elendige menneske! hvem skal fri mig fra dette dødens legeme?
25 Gud være takk ved Jesus Kristus, vår Herre! - Så tjener da jeg Guds lov med mitt sinn, men syndens lov med mitt kjød.

Released From the Law, Bound to Christ
7 Do you not know, brothers and sisters(A)—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives? 2 For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him.(B) 3 So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress.(C) But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.
4 So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law(D) through the body of Christ,(E) that you might belong to another,(F) to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[a](G) the sinful passions aroused by the law(H) were at work in us,(I) so that we bore fruit for death.(J) 6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law(K) so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.(L)
The Law and Sin
7 What shall we say, then?(M) Is the law sinful? Certainly not!(N) Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law.(O) For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”[b](P) 8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(Q) produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.(R) 9 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life(S) actually brought death. 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(T) deceived me,(U) and through the commandment put me to death. 12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.(V)
13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good(W) to bring about my death,(X) so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual,(Y) sold(Z) as a slave to sin.(AA) 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.(AB) 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.(AC) 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.(AD) 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[c](AE) For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.(AF) 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.(AG)
21 So I find this law at work:(AH) Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being(AI) I delight in God’s law;(AJ) 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war(AK) against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin(AL) at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?(AM) 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!(AN)
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law,(AO) but in my sinful nature[d] a slave to the law of sin.(AP)
