Romans 7
1 Remember ye not brethren (I speake to them yt know the lawe) how that the lawe hath power over a man as longe as it endureth?
ⲁ̅ϣⲁⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲁⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ϥⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳪ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉϥⲟⲛϧ.
2 For the woman which is in subieccion to a man is bounde by the lawe to the man as longe as he liveth. Yf the man be deed she is lowsed from the lawe of the man.
ⲃ̅ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ϧⲁ ϩⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲥⲥⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲥϩⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲟⲛϧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲁⲓ ⲁⲥⲕⲱⲣϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓϩⲁⲓ.
3 So then yf whill the man liveth she couple her selfe with another man she shalbe counted a wedlocke breaker. But yf the man be deed she is fre fro the lawe: so that she is no wedlocke breaker though she couple her selfe with another man.

4 Even so ye my brethren are deed concerninge the lawe by the body of Christ yt ye shuld be coupled to another (I meane to him that is rysen agayne fro deeth) that we shuld bringe forth frute vnto God.

5 For when we were in the flesshe the lustes of synne which were stered vppe by ye lawe raygned in oure membres to bringe forth frute vnto deeth.

6 But now are we delivered fro the lawe and deed fro that whervnto we werein bondage that we shuld serve in a newe conversacion of ye sprete and not in ye olde conversacion of the letter.

7 What shall we saye then? is ye lawe synne? God forbid: but I knewe not what synne meant but by the lawe. For I had not knowne what lust had meant excepte the lawe had sayde thou shalt not lust.

8 But synne toke an occasion by the meanes of the commaundement and wrought in me all manner of concupiscece. For with out the lawe synne was deed.

9 I once lived with out lawe. But when the commaundement came synne revyved and I was deed.

10 And the very same comaundement which was ordeyned vnto lyfe was founde to be vnto me an occasion of deeth.

11 For synne toke occasion by the meanes of the comaundement and so disceaved me and by the selfe commaundement slewe we.

13 Was that then which is good made deeth vnto me? God forbyd. Naye synne was deeth vnto me that it myght appere how that synne by the meanes of that which is good had wrought deeth in me: that synne which is vnder the commandemet myght be out of measure synfull.

15 because I wote not what I doo. For what I wold that do I not: but what I hate that do I.
