Galatians 2:20   I am crucified <4957> (5769) with Christ <5547>: nevertheless <1161>   I live <2198> (5719); yet not <3765> I <1473>, but <1161> Christ <5547> liveth         <2198> (5719) in <1722> me <1698>: and <1161>  the life which <3739> I <2198>   <0> now <3568> live <2198> (5719) in <1722> the flesh <4561> I live <2198>   (5719) by <1722> the faith <4102> of the Son <5207> of God <2316>, who <3588>   loved <25>  (5660) me <3165>, and <2532> gave <3860> (5631) himself <1438> for   <5228> me <1700>.

The more correct translation is in the past tense:   I have been crucified with Christ.   [Literal]

Romans 6, 7, 8   What <5101> shall we say <2046> (5692) then <3767>? Shall we continue <1961> (5692) in sin  <266>, that <2443> grace <5485> may abound <4121> (5661)?

2      God forbid <3361> <1096> (5636). How <4459> shall we, that <3748> are dead <599> (5627)  to sin <266>, live <2198> (5692) any longer <2089> therein <1722> <846>?

3  <2228> Know ye not <50> (5719), that so <3754> many of us <3745> as were baptized <907> (5681)  into <1519> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> were baptized <907> (5681) into <1519> his <846> death <2288> ? {were: or, are}

4      Therefore <3767> we are buried with <4916> (5648) him <846> by <1223> baptism <908> into <1519>  death <2288>: that <2443> like as <5618> Christ <5547> was raised up <1453> (5681) from <1537> the dead <3498> by <1223> the glory <1391> of the Father <3962>, even so <3779> we <2249> also <2532> should walk <4043>  (5661) in <1722> newness <2538> of life <2222>.

5      For <1063> if <1487> we have been <1096> (5754) planted together <4854> in the likeness <3667> of his <846> death <2288>, we shall be <2071> (5704) also <235> <2532> in the likeness of his resurrection  <386>:

6      Knowing <1097> (5723) this <5124>, that <3754> our <2257> old <3820> man <444> is crucified with <4957> (5681) him, that <2443> the body <4983> of sin <266> might be destroyed <2673> (5686), that henceforth <3371> <0> we <2248> should <1398> <0> not <3371> serve <1398> (5721) sin <266> .

7      For <1063> he that is dead <599> (5631) is freed <1344> (5769) from <575> sin <266>. {freed: Gr. justified}

8      Now <1161> if <1487> we be dead <599> (5627) with <4862> Christ <5547>, we believe <4100>  (5719) that <3754> we shall <4800> <0> also <2532> live <4800> (5692) with him <846>:

9      Knowing <1492> (5761) that <3754> Christ <5547> being raised <1453> (5685) from <1537>  the dead <3498> dieth <599> (5719) no more <3765>; death <2288> hath <2961> <0> no more <3765> dominion over <2961> (5719) him <846>.

10   For <3739> <1063> in that he died <599> (5627), he died <599> (5627) unto sin <266> once <2178>: but <1161> in that <3739> he liveth <2198> (5719), he liveth <2198> (5719) unto God <2316> .

11  Likewise <3779> reckon <3049> (5737) ye <5210> also <2532> yourselves <1438> to be <1511>  (5750) dead <3498> indeed <3303> unto sin <266>, but <1161> alive <2198> (5723) unto God <2316> through <1722> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our <2257> Lord <2962>.

12   Let <936> <0> not <3361> sin <266> therefore <3767> reign <936> (5720) in <1722>  your <5216> mortal <2349> body <4983>, that <1519> ye should obey <5219> (5721) it <846> in <1722>  the lusts <1939> thereof <846>.

13   Neither <3366> yield ye <3936> (5720) your <5216> members <3196> as instruments <3696> of unrighteousness <93> unto sin <266>: but <235> yield <3936> (5657) yourselves <1438> unto God <2316>, as <5613>  those that are alive <2198> (5723) from <1537> the dead <3498>, and <2532> your <5216> members <3196> as instruments <3696> of righteousness <1343> unto God <2316>. {instruments: Gr. arms, or, weapons}

14  For <1063> sin <266> shall <2961> <0> not <3756> have dominion over <2961> (5692) you <5216>: for <1063> ye are <2075> (5748) not <3756> under <5259> the law <3551>, but <235> under  <5259> grace <5485>.

15  What <5101> then <3767>? shall we sin <264> (5692), because <3754> we are <2070> (5748)  not <3756> under <5259> the law <3551>, but <235> under <5259> grace <5485>? God forbid <3361> <1096>  (5636).

16  Know ye <1492> (5758) not <3756>, that <3754> to whom <3739> ye yield <3936> (5719) yourselves <1438> servants <1401> to <1519> obey <5218>, his servants <1401> ye are <2075> (5748) to whom <3739>  ye obey <5219> (5719); whether <2273> of sin <266> unto <1519> death <2288>, or <2228> of obedience  <5218> unto <1519> righteousness <1343>?

17  But <1161> God <2316> be thanked <5485>, that <3754> ye were <2258> (5713) the servants <1401>  of sin <266>, but <1161> ye have obeyed <5219> (5656) from <1537> the heart <2588> that form <5179> of doctrine <1322> which <1519> <3739> was delivered you <3860> (5681). {which…: Gr. whereto ye were delivered}

18  Being <1659> <0> then <1161> made free <1659> (5685) from <575> sin <266>, ye became the servants <1402> (5681) of righteousness <1343>.

19  I speak <3004> (5719) after the manner of men <442> because <1223> of the infirmity <769> of your <5216>  flesh <4561>: for <1063> as <5618> ye have yielded <3936> (5656) your <5216> members <3196> servants  <1401> to uncleanness <167> and <2532> to iniquity <458> unto <1519> iniquity <458>; even so <3779> now <3568>  yield <3936> (5657) your <5216> members <3196> servants <1401> to righteousness <1343> unto <1519> holiness  <38>.

20   For <1063> when <3753> ye were <2258> (5713) the servants <1401> of sin <266>, ye were <2258>  (5713) free <1658> from righteousness <1343>. {from…: Gr. to righteousness}

21  What <5101> <3767> fruit <2590> had ye <2192> (5707) then <5119> in <1909> those things whereof <3739> ye are <1870> <0> now <3568> ashamed <1870> (5736)? for <1063> the end <5056> of those things <1565> is death <2288>.

22  But <1161> now <3570> being made free <1659> (5685) from <575> sin <266>, and <1161>  become servants <1402> (5685) to God <2316>, ye have <2192> (5719) your <5216> fruit <2590> unto <1519>  holiness <38>, and <1161> the end <5056> everlasting <166> life <2222>.

23  For <1063> the wages <3800> of sin <266> is death <2288>; but <1161> the gift <5486> of God <2316> is eternal <166> life <2222> through <1722> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our <2257> Lord <2962> .

Chapter 7

1    <2228> Know ye not <50> (5719), brethren <80>, (for <1063> I speak <2980> (5719) to them that know <1097> (5723) the law <3551>,) how that <3754> the law <3551> hath dominion over <2961> (5719) a man <444> as long as <1909> <3745> <5550> he liveth <2198> (5719)?

2      For <1063> the woman <1135> which hath an husband <5220> is bound <1210> (5769) by the law <3551>  to her husband <435> so long as he liveth <2198> (5723); but <1161> if <1437> the husband <435> be dead <599>  (5632), she is loosed <2673> (5769) from <575> the law <3551> of her husband <435>.

3      So then <686> <3767> if <1437>, while her husband <435> liveth <2198> (5723), she be married <1096> (5638) to another <2087> man <435>, she shall be called <5537> (5692) an adulteress <3428>: but <1161>  if <1437> her husband <435> be dead <599> (5632), she is <2076> (5748) free <1658> from <575>  that law <3551>; so that she <846> is <1511> (5750) no <3361> adulteress <3428>, though she be married <1096> (5637) to another <2087> man <435>.

4      Wherefore <5620>, my <3450> brethren <80>, ye <5210> also <2532> are become dead <2289> (5681)  to the law <3551> by <1223> the body <4983> of Christ <5547>; that <1519> ye <5209> should be married <1096>  (5635) to another <2087>, even to him who is raised <1453> (5685) from <1537> the dead <3498>, that <2443>  we should bring forth fruit <2592> (5661) unto God <2316>.

5      For <1063> when <3753> we were <2258> (5713) in <1722> the flesh <4561>, the motions <3804>  of sins <266>, which <3588> were by <1223> the law <3551>, did work <1754> (5710) in <1722> our <2257>  members <3196> to bring <1519> forth fruit <2592> (5658) unto death <2288>. {motions: Gr. passions}

6      But <1161> now <3570> we are delivered <2673> (5681) from <575> the law <3551>, that being dead  <599> (5631) (5625) <599> (5631) wherein <1722> <3739> we were held <2722> (5712); that  <5620> we <2248> should serve <1398> (5721) in <1722> newness <2538> of spirit <4151>, and <2532> not  <3756> in the oldness <3821> of the letter <1121>. {that being…: or, being dead to that}

7      What <5101> shall we say <2046> (5692) then <3767>? Is the law <3551> sin <266>? God forbid <3361> <1096> (5636). Nay <235>, I had <1097> <0> not <3756> known <1097> (5627) sin  <266>, but <1508> by <1223> the law <3551>: for <1063> <5037> I had <1492> <0> not <3756> known <1492> (5715) lust <1939>, except <1508> the law <3551> had said <3004> (5707), Thou shalt <1937>  <0> not <3756> covet <1937> (5692). {lust: or, concupiscence}

8  But <1161> sin <266>, taking <2983> (5631) occasion <874> by <1223> the commandment <1785> , wrought <2716> (5662) in <1722> me <1698> all manner of <3956> concupiscence <1939>. For <1063> without  <5565> the law <3551> sin <266> was dead <3498>.

9      For <1161> I <1473> was alive <2198> (5707) without <5565> the law <3551> once <4218> : but <1161> when the commandment <1785> came <2064> (5631), sin <266> revived <326> (5656), and <1161>  I <1473> died <599> (5627).

10   And <2532> the commandment <1785>, which <3588> was ordained to <1519> life <2222>, I <3427>  found <2147> (5681) <3778> to be unto <1519> death <2288>.

11  For <1063> sin <266>, taking <2983> (5631) occasion <874> by <1223> the commandment <1785> , deceived <1818> (5656) me <3165>, and <2532> by <1223> it <846> slew <615> (5656) me.

12 Wherefore <5620> <3303> the law <3551> is holy <40>, and <2532> the commandment <1785> holy <40>, and <2532> just <1342>, and <2532> good <18>.

13  Was then <3767> that which is good <18> made <1096> (5754) death <2288> unto me <1698>? God forbid <3361> <1096> (5636). But <235> sin <266>, that <2443> it might appear <5316> (5652) sin <266> , working <2716> (5740) death <2288> in me <3427> by <1223> that which is good <18>; that <2443> sin  <266> by <1223> the commandment <1785> might become <1096> (5638) exceeding <2596> <5236> sinful <268>.

 14  For <1063> we know <1492> (5758) that <3754> the law <3551> is <2076> (5748) spiritual <4152>: but <1161> I <1473> am <1510> (5748) carnal <4559>, sold <4097> (5772) under <5259>  sin <266>.

15  For <1063> that which <3739> I do <2716> (5736) I allow <1097> (5719) not <3756>: for <1063> what <3739> I would <2309> (5719), that <5124> do I <4238> (5719) not <3756>; but <235>  what <3739> I hate <3404> (5719), that <5124> do I <4160> (5719). {allow: Gr. know}

16  If <1487> then <1161> I do <4160> (5719) that <5124> which <3739> I would <2309>  (5719) not <3756>, I consent <4852> (5748) unto the law <3551> that <3754> it is good <2570>.

17  Now <3570> then <1161> it is no more <3765> I <1473> that do <2716> (5736) it <846>, but <235> sin <266> that dwelleth <3611> (5723) in <1722> me <1698>.

18  For <1063> I know <1492> (5758) that <3754> in <1722> me <1698> (that is <5123>  (5748), in <1722> my <3450> flesh <4561>,) dwelleth <3611> (5719) no <3756> good thing <18>: for <1063>  to will <2309> (5721) is present <3873> (5736) with me <3427>; but <1161> how to perform <2716> (5738) that which is good <2570> I find <2147> (5719) not <3756>.

19  For <1063> <3739> the good <18> that I would <2309> (5719) I do <4160> (5719) not  <3756>: but <235> the evil <2556> which <3739> I would <2309> (5719) not <3756>, that <5124> I do  <4238> (5719).

20  Now <1161> if <1487> <3739> I do <4160> (5719) that <5124> I <1473> would <2309>  (5719) not <3756>, it is no more <2089> <3765> I <1473> that do <2716> (5736) it <846>, but  <235> sin <266> that dwelleth <3611> (5723) in <1722> me <1698>.

21  I find <2147> (5719) then <686> a law <3551>, that <3754>, when I <1698> would <2309>  (5723) do <4160> (5721) good <2570>, evil <2556> is present <3873> (5736) with me <1698>.

22  For <1063> I delight <4913> (5736) in the law <3551> of God <2316> after <2596> the inward <2080> man <444>:

23  But <1161> I see <991> (5719) another <2087> law <3551> in <1722> my <3450> members <3196>, warring against <497> (5740) the law <3551> of my <3450> mind <3563>, and <2532> bringing <163>  <0> me <3165> into captivity <163> (5723) to the law <3551> of sin <266> which <3588> is <5607>  (5752) in <1722> my <3450> members <3196>.

24  O wretched <5005> man <444> that I am <1473>! who <5101> shall deliver <4506> (5695) me <3165>  from <1537> the body <4983> of this <5127> death <2288>? {the body…: or, this body of death}

Chapter 8

1      There is therefore <686> now <3568> no <3762> condemnation <2631> to them which are in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, who walk <4043> (5723) not <3361> after <2596> the flesh <4561>, but <235> after <2596> the Spirit <4151>.

2      For <1063> the law <3551> of the Spirit <4151> of life <2222> in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus  <2424> hath made <1659> <0> me <3165> free <1659> (5656) from <575> the law <3551> of sin <266>  and <2532> death <2288>.

3      For <1063> what the law <3551> could not do <102>, in <1722> that <3739> it was weak <770>  (5707) through <1223> the flesh <4561>, God <2316> sending <3992> (5660) his own <1438> Son <5207> in  <1722> the likeness <3667> of sinful <266> flesh <4561>, and <2532> for <4012> sin <266>, condemned <2632>  (5656) sin <266> in <1722> the flesh <4561>: {for sin: or, by a sacrifice for sin}

4      That <2443> the righteousness <1345> of the law <3551> might be fulfilled <4137> (5686) in <1722>  us <2254>, who walk <4043> (5723) not <3361> after <2596> the flesh <4561>, but <235> after <2596> the Spirit <4151>.

5      For <1063> they that are <5607> (5752) after <2596> the flesh <4561> do mind <5426> (5719)  the things <3588> of the flesh <4561>; but <1161> they that are after <2596> the Spirit <4151> the things <3588> of the Spirit <4151>.

6      For <1063> to be <5427> <0> carnally <4561> minded <5427> is death <2288>; but <1161>  to be <5427> <0> spiritually <4151> minded <5427> is life <2222> and <2532> peace <1515>.  {to be carnally…: Gr. the minding of the flesh} {to be spiritually…: Gr. the minding of the Spirit}

7      Because <1360> the carnal <4561> mind <5427> is enmity <2189> against <1519> God <2316>: for <1063> it is <5293> <0> not <3756> subject <5293> (5743) to the law <3551> of God <2316>, neither <3761> indeed <1063> can be <1410> (5736). {the carnal…: Gr. the minding of the flesh}

8      So then <1161> they that are <5607> (5752) in <1722> the flesh <4561> cannot <3756> <1410>  (5736) please <700> (5658) God <2316>.

9      But <1161> ye <5210> are <2075> (5748) not <3756> in <1722> the flesh <4561>, but  <235> in <1722> the Spirit <4151>, if so be <1512> that the Spirit <4151> of God <2316> dwell <3611> (5719)  in <1722> you <5213>. Now <1161> if any man <1536> have <2192> (5719) not <3756> the Spirit <4151> of Christ <5547>, he <3778> is <2076> (5748) none <3756> of his <846>.

10  And <1161> if <1487> Christ <5547> be in <1722> you <5213>, the body <4983> <3303>  is dead <3498> because <1223> of sin <266>; but <1161> the Spirit <4151> is life <2222> because  <1223> of righteousness <1343>.

11  But <1161> if <1487> the Spirit <4151> of him that raised up <1453> (5660) Jesus <2424> from  <1537> the dead <3498> dwell <3611> (5719) in <1722> you <5213>, he that raised up <1453> (5660) Christ  <5547> from <1537> the dead <3498> shall <2227> <0> also <2532> quicken <2227> (5692) your <5216>  mortal <2349> bodies <4983> by <1223> his <846> Spirit <4151> that dwelleth <1774> (5723) (5625)  <1774> (5723) in <1722> you <5213>. {by: or, because of}

12  Therefore <686> <3767>, brethren <80>, we are <2070> (5748) debtors <3781>, not <3756>  to the flesh <4561>, to live <2198> (5721) after <2596> the flesh <4561>.

13   For <1063> if <1487> ye live <2198> (5719) after <2596> the flesh <4561>, ye shall <3195>  (5719) die <599> (5721): but <1161> if <1487> ye <2289> <0> through the Spirit <4151> do mortify <2289> (5719) the deeds <4234> of the body <4983>, ye shall live <2198> (5695).

14  For <1063> as many as <3745> are led <71> (5743) by the Spirit <4151> of God <2316>, they  <3778> are <1526> (5748) the sons <5207> of God <2316>.

15  For <1063> ye have <2983> <0> not <3756> received <2983> (5627) the spirit <4151> of bondage <1397> again <3825> to <1519> fear <5401>; but <235> ye have received <2983> (5627) the Spirit <4151>  of adoption <5206>, whereby <1722> <3739> we cry <2896> (5719), Abba <5>, Father <3962>.
