Notes on this text (1)
- Includes the books not found in the Hebrew Bible (Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, Letter of Jeremiah, 1–3 Maccabees, 2 and 3 Esdras, Prayer of Manasseh), as in the Synodal editions.
1 Разве вы не знаете, братия (ибо говорю знающим закон), что закон имеет власть над человеком, пока он жив?
1 Or don’t you know, brothers (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man for as long as he lives?
2 Замужняя женщина привязана законом к живому мужу; а если умрет муж, она освобождается от закона замужества.
2 For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.
3 Посему, если при живом муже выйдет за другого, называется прелюбодейцею; если же умрет муж, она свободна от закона, и не будет прелюбодейцею, выйдя за другого мужа.
3 So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.
4 Так и вы, братия мои, умерли для закона телом Христовым, чтобы принадлежать другому, Воскресшему из мертвых, да приносим плод Богу.
4 Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might produce fruit to God.
5 Ибо, когда мы жили по плоти, тогда страсти греховные, обнаруживаемые законом, действовали в членах наших, чтобы приносить плод смерти;
5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law worked in our members to bring out fruit to death.
6 но ныне, умерши для закона, которым были связаны, мы освободились от него, чтобы нам служить Богу в обновлении духа, а не по ветхой букве.
6 But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
7 Что же скажем? Неужели от закона грех? Никак. Но я не иначе узнал грех, как посредством закона. Ибо я не понимал бы и пожелания, если бы закон не говорил: не пожелай.
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”
8 Но грех, взяв повод от заповеди, произвел во мне всякое пожелание: ибо без закона грех мертв.
8 But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
9 Я жил некогда без закона; но когда пришла заповедь, то грех ожил,
9 I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.
10 а я умер; и таким образом заповедь, данная для жизни, послужила мне к смерти,
10 The commandment which was for life, this I found to be for death;
11 потому что грех, взяв повод от заповеди, обольстил меня и умертвил ею.
11 for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
12 Посему закон свят, и заповедь свята и праведна и добра.
12 Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, righteous, and good.
13 Итак, неужели доброе сделалось мне смертоносным? Никак; но грех, оказывающийся грехом потому, что посредством доброго причиняет мне смерть, так что грех становится крайне грешен посредством заповеди.
13 Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, was producing death in me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceedingly sinful.
14 Ибо мы знаем, что закон духовен, а я плотян, продан греху.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
15 Ибо не понимаю, что делаю: потому что не то делаю, что хочу, а что ненавижу, то делаю.
15 For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
16 Если же делаю то, чего не хочу, то соглашаюсь с законом, что он добр,
16 But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.
17 а потому уже не я делаю то, но живущий во мне грех.
17 So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
18 Ибо знаю, что не живет во мне, то есть в плоти моей, доброе; потому что желание добра есть во мне, но чтобы сделать оное, того не нахожу.
18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good.
19 Доброго, которого хочу, не делаю, а злое, которого не хочу, делаю.
19 For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practice.
20 Если же делаю то, чего не хочу, уже не я делаю то, но живущий во мне грех.
20 But if what I don’t desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
21 Итак я нахожу закон, что, когда хочу делать доброе, прилежит мне злое.
21 I find then the law that, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
22 Ибо по внутреннему человеку нахожу удовольствие в законе Божием;
22 For I delight in God’s law after the inward person,
23 но в членах моих вижу иной закон, противоборствующий закону ума моего и делающий меня пленником закона греховного, находящегося в членах моих.
23 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.
24 Бедный я человек! кто избавит меня от сего тела смерти?
24 What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
25 Благодарю Бога моего Иисусом Христом, Господом нашим. Итак тот же самый я умом моим служу закону Божию, а плотию закону греха.
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord! So then with the mind, I myself serve God’s law, but with the flesh, sin’s law.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
After having said that great evils had taken place, and that sin, taking occasion by the commandment, had grown stronger, and the opposite of what the Law mainly aimed at had been the result, and after having thrown the hearer into a great deal of perplexity, he goes on next to give the rationale of these events, after first clearing …

… sign of our salvation, since it was the Lord Himself who saved them, because they could not be saved by their own instrumentality; and, therefore, when Paul sets forth human infirmity, he says: "For I know that there dwelleth in my flesh no good thing," showing that the "good thing" of our salvation is not from us, but from God.
For though a man "delight in the law of God after the inward man," what shall he do with that other law in his members which warreth against the law of his mind, and bringeth him into captivity to the law of sin, which is in his members?

The Devil had used the flesh as an instrument against us; and Paul knowing this, saith, But I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity, and the rest.

And again: "Wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" Then he introduces the Deliverer, [saying,] "The grace of Jesus Christ our Lord." And Isaiah declares this also, [when he says:] "Be ye strengthened, ye hands that hang down, and ye feeble knees; be ye encouraged, ye feeble-minded; be comforted, fear not: behold, …
