G3588–ὁ–ho

and, as it turned out, the very Commandment which was to bring me life, brought me death.

ἡ hē “the”ἡ hē “that [was]”

For sin seized the advantage, and by means of the Commandment it completely deceived me, and also put me to death.

ἡ hē “The”τῆς tēs “the”

So that the Law itself is holy, and the Commandment is holy, just and good.

ὁ ho “<the>”ἡ hē “the”

Did then a thing which is good become death to me? No, indeed, but sin did; so that through its bringing about death by means of what was good, it might be seen in its true light as sin, in order that by means of the Commandment the unspeakable sinfulnes

τὸ to “That which”ἡ hē “<the>”τοῦ tou “that which [is]”ἡ hē “<the>”τῆς tēs “the”

For we know that the Law is a spiritual thing; but I am unspiritual--the slave, bought and sold, of sin.

ὁ ho “the”τὴν tēn “<the>”

But if I do that which I do not desire to do, I admit the excellence of the Law,

τῷ tō “to the”

and now it is no longer I that do these things, but the sin which has its home within me does them.

ἡ hē “that which”

For I know that in me, that is, in my lower self, nothing good has its home; for while the will to do right is present with me, the power to carry it out is not.

τῇ tēa “the”τὸ to “<the>”τὸ to “<the>”τὸ to “the”

But if I do that which I desire not to do, it can no longer be said that it is I who do it, but the sin which has its home within me does it.

ἡ hē “that which”

I find therefore the law of my nature to be that when I desire to do what is right, evil is lying in ambush for me.

τὸν ton “the”τῷ tō “that which”τὸ to “<the>”τὸ to “<the>”

For in my inmost self all my sympathy is with the Law of God;

τῷ tō “in the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τὸν ton “the”

but I discover within me a different Law at war with the Law of my understanding, and leading me captive to the Law which is everywhere at work in my body--the Law of sin.

τοῖς tois “the”τῷ tō “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τῷ tō “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”τῷ tō “which”τοῖς tois “the”

(Unhappy man that I am! who will rescue me from this death-burdened body?

τοῦ tou “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!) To sum up then, with my understanding, I--my true self--am in servitude to the Law of God, but with my lower nature I am in servitude to the Law of sin.

τῷ tō “<the>”τοῦ tou “the”τῷ tō “with the”τῇ tēa “<the>”

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus;

τοῖς tois “to those”

for the Spirit's Law-- telling of Life in Christ Jesus--has set me free from the Law that deals only with sin and death.

ὁ ho “<the>”τοῦ tou “of the”τῆς tēs “<the>”τοῦ tou “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”τοῦ tou “<the>”

For what was impossible to the Law--powerless as it was because it acted through frail humanity--God effected. Sending His own Son in a body like that of sinful human nature and as a sacrifice for sin, He pronounced sentence upon sin in human nature;

τὸ to “<the>”τοῦ tou “the”τῆς tēs “the”ὁ ho “<the>”τὸν ton “<the>”τὴν tēn “<the>”τῇ tēa “the”

in order that in our case the requirements of the Law might be fully met. For our lives are regulated not by our earthly, but by our spiritual natures.

τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τοῖς tois “<the>”

For if men are controlled by their earthly natures, they give their minds to earthly things. If they are controlled by their spiritual natures, they give their minds to spiritual things.

οἱ hoi “Those”τὰ ta “the [things]”τῆς tēs “of the”οἱ hoi “those”τὰ ta “the [things]”τοῦ tou “of the”

Because for the mind to be given up to earthly things means death; but for it to be given up to spiritual things means Life and peace.

τὸ to “The”τῆς tēs “of the”τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

Abandonment to earthly things is a state of enmity to God. Such a mind does not submit to God's Law, and indeed cannot do so.

τὸ to “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τῷ tō “<the>”τοῦ tou “<the>”

And those whose hearts are absorbed in earthly things cannot please God.

οἱ hoi “Those”

But if Christ is in you, though your body must die because of sin, yet your spirit has Life because of righteousness.

τὸ to “the”τὸ to “the”

And if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead is dwelling in you, He who raised up Christ from the dead will give Life also to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who dwells in you.

τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “of the [One]”τὸν ton “<the>”ὁ ho “the [One]”τὸν ton “<the>”τὰ ta “to the”τοῦ tou “the”

Therefore, brethren, it is not to our lower natures that we are under obligation that we should live by their rule.

τῇ tēa “to the”τοῦ tou “<the>”
