Romans 7:1
Do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?
Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
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?
Note The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.”
Or are ye ignorant, brethren (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law hath dominion over a man for so long time as he liveth?
