Romans 6:22~7:6 CEV
(22) Now you have been set free from sin, and you are God's slaves. This will make you holy and will lead you to eternal life. (23) Sin pays off with death. But God's gift is eternal life given by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 7:1 CEV
(1) My friends, you surely understand enough about law to know that laws only have power over people who are alive.
Romans 7:4-6 CEV
(4) That is how it is with you, my friends. You are now part of the body of Christ and are dead to the power of the Law. You are free to belong to Christ, who was raised to life so that we could serve God. (5) When we thought only of ourselves, the Law made us have sinful desires. It made every part of our bodies into slaves who are doomed to die. (6) But the Law no longer rules over us. We are like dead people, and it cannot have any power over us. Now we can serve God in a new way by obeying his Spirit, and not in the old way by obeying the written Law.

Romans 6:22~7:6 NWT
22 However, now, because YOU were set free from sin but became slaves to God, YOU are having YOUR fruit in the way of holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23 For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord. 7:1 Can it be that YOU do not know, brothers, (for I am speaking to those who know law,) that the Law is master over a man as long as he lives?
Romans 7:4-6 NWT
. . .So, my brothers, YOU also were made dead to the Law through the body of the Christ, that YOU might become another's, the one's who was raised up from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. 5 For when we were in accord with the flesh, the sinful passions that were excited by the Law were at work in our members that we should bring forth fruit to death. 6 But now we have been discharged from the Law, because we have died to that by which we were being held fast, that we might be slaves in a new sense by the spirit, and not in the old sense by the written code.

Romans 6:22~7:6 LITV
But now having been set free from sin, and having been enslaved to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end everlasting life. Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is everlasting life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 7:1 LITV
(1) Or are you ignorant, brothers, (for I speak to those knowing Law), that the Law lords it over the man for as long a time as he lives?
Romans 7:4-6 LITV
(4) So that, my brothers, you also were made dead to the Law through the body of Christ, for you to become Another's, to the One raised from the dead, so that we may bear fruit to God. (5) For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sin were working in our members through the Law for the bearing of fruit unto death. (6) But now we have been set free from the Law, having died to that in which we were held, so as for us to serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
