Therefore now no condemnation to them in Christ Jesus, walking not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus freed me from the law of sin and death.

That the justification of the law be filled up in us, not walking according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For they being according to the flesh mind things of the flesh; and they according to the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For the thought of the flesh, death; and the thought of the Spirit, life and peace. Wherefore the thought of the flesh enmity to God: for it is not subject to the law of God, for it cannot be. And they being in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwell in you. And if any have not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his. And if Christ in you, truly the body dead by sin; and the Spirit life by justice. And if the Spirit of him having raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he having raised up Christ from the dead will make alive also your mortal bodies by his Spirit dwelling in you. Therefore, brethren, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if ye live according to the flesh, ye shall die: and if by the Spirit ye kill the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God. For ye have not received the Spirit of servitude again for fear; but have received the Spirit of adoption as a son, in which we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself testifies with our spirit, that we are children of God: And if children, also heirs; truly heirs of God, and coheirs of Christ; if indeed we suffer together, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of the time now not worthy of the glory about to be revealed in us.

For Christ the end of the law for justice to every one believing. For Moses writes the justice of the law, That the man having done these things shall live in them. And the justice of faith says thus, Thou shouldest not say in thy heart, Who shall go up to heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down:) Or, Who shall go down to the abyss? (that is, to bring up Christ from the dead.) But what does it say? The word is near thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we proclaim; For if thou confess in thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart is believed for justice: and with the mouth is confessed for salvation. For the writing says, Every one believing upon him shall not be ashamed. For no distinction is of the Jew and also of the Greek: for the same Lord of all being rich to all calling upon him. For every one whoever should call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

For he having said, Thou shouldest not commit adultery, said also, Thou shouldest not kill: and if thou commit not adultery, and dost kill, thou hast become a transgressor of the law. So speak ye, and so do, as about to be judged by the law of liberty. For unpropitiated judgment to him not doing mercy; and mercy boasteth against judgment. And what profit, my brethren, if any say he has faith, and should not have works? can faith save him? And if a brother or sister be naked, and be failing of daily food, And any of you say to them, Retire in peace, be ye warmed and be ye fed; and ye give them not things fitting the body; what profit? So also faith, if it have not works, is dead by itself. But certain will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith from my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: and the evil spirits believe, and shudder. And wilt thou know, O empty man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, having brought up Isaac his son upon the altar Thou seest that faith cooperated with his works, and from works was faith perfected. And the writing was completed, saying, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for justice: and he was called the Friend of God. Therefore ye see that man is justified from works, and not from faith alone. And likewise also was not Rehab the harlot justified by works, having received the messengers, and cast out by another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

She will rise while yet night, and she will give food to her house, and a portion to her girls. She purposed a field, and he will take it: from the fruit of her hands she planted a vineyard. She girded her loins with strength, and she will strengthen her arms. She tasted that her traffic is good: her light will not go out by night She sent forth her hands upon the spindle, and her hands take hold of the whirl. She spread forth her hands to the poor, and sent forth her hands to the needy. She will not fear for her house from snow, for all her house put on double. She made for herself coverings; byssus and purple her clothing. Her husband was known in the gates, in his sitting with the old men of the land. She made the under garment., and she will sell; and she gave a girdle to the Canaanite. Strength and ornament her clothing; and she will laugh to the last day. She opened her mouth in wisdom, and the law of mercy upon her tongue. She viewed the goings of her house, and the bread of sloth she will not eat Her sons rose up and they will call her happy; her husband, and he will praise her. Many daughters did virtue, and thou wentest up over all of them. Favor a falsehood, and beauty vanity: a woman fearing Jehovah, she shall be praised. Ye shall give her from the fruit of her hands, and her works shall praise her in the gates.

What was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we beheld, and our own hands felt, concerning the word of life; (And the life was manifested, and we have seen, and we testify, and announce to you the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us;) What we have seen and heard we announce to you, that ye also might have communion with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
And Peter having answered, and the sent, said, We must obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew with your own hands, having hung him upon a tree. This, God exalted, a Chief and Saviour, with his right hand to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins. read more.

The word ye know, having been through the whole of Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the immersion which John preached; Jesus from Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and power; who passed through doing good, and healing all oppressed by the devil; for God was with him. And ye are witnesses of all which he did in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they killed, having hanged upon wood: read more.
Him God raised the third day, and gave him to be manifest; Not to all people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after his rising from the dead. And he enjoined us to proclaim to the people, and to testify that this is he appointed by God, Judge of the living and the dead. To him all the prophets testify, for all believing on him to receive remission of sins through his name.

A man was sent from God, the name to him John. This came for testimony, that he might testify concerning the Light, that all might believe through him. He was not that Light, but that he might testify for the Light. read more.
The Light was true, which enlightens every man coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was by him, and the world knew him not. He came to his own things, and his own received him not. And as many as received him, he gave them authority to be the children of God, to them believing on his name: They were not born of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was flesh, and dwelt with us, (and we beheld his glory, as the glory of the only born of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John testifies for him, and he tried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He coming after me was before me: for he was before me.

That all should honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He honouring not the Son, honours not the Father having sent him. Truly, truly, I say to you, That he hearing my word, and believing him having sent me, has eternal life, and comes not into judgment; but has passed from death to life. Truly, truly, I say to you, That the hour comes, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they hearing shall live. read more.
For as the Father has life in himself, so also gave he to the Son to have life in himself; And gave him authority also to do judgment, because he is the Son of man. Wonder not at this: for the hour comes, in which all they in the tombs shall hear his voice, and shall go forth; They having done good, to rising up of life; and they having done bad, to rising up of judgment. I can do nothing of myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; for I seek not my will, but the will of the Father having sent me. If I testify of myself, my testimony is not true. Another is testifying of me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies of me is true. Ye have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth. But I receive not testimony from man: but these I say that ye might be saved. He was a burning and manifest light: and ye wished to rejoice for a time in his light. And I have greater testimony than of John: for the works that the Father gave me that I might finish them, the same works that I do, testify of me, that the Father has sent me. And the Father having sent me, he has testified of me. Nor have ye at any time heard his voice, or seen his form. And his word ye have not remaining in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not. Search the writings; for ye think in them to have eternal life: and these are they testifying of me. And ye wish not to come to me, that ye might have life. I receive not glory from man. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I have come in the name of my Father, and ye receive me not: if another should come in his own name, him will ye receive. How can ye believe, receiving glory from one another, and ye seek not the glory that from God alone? Think not that I shall accuse you to the Father: he accusing you is Moses, in whom ye have hoped. For if ye had believed Moses, ye had believed me: for he himself wrote of me. And if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

And Peter, having seen, answered to the people, men, Israelites, why wonder ye at this? or why look ye intently at us, as by our own power or devotion having made him to walk? The God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, God of our fathers, has honoured his child Jesus; whom ye have delivered up, and denied him before the face of Pilate, he having judged to loose. read more.
