concerning his Son who was made from the seed of David according to flesh.

I am debtor both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

Professing to be wise, they became foolish,

a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the childlike, having in the law the essence of knowledge and truth,

For he is not a Jew in what is visible, nor is circumcision in what is visible, in flesh,

Because from works of law no flesh will be made right before him, for through law is knowledge of sin.

What then will we say Abraham, our father according to flesh, to have found?

(I speak man-like because of the weakness of your flesh). For as ye presented your body-parts servile to uncleanness, and to lawlessness for lawlessness, so now present your body-parts servile to righteousness for sanctification.

For when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins were working in our body-parts (through the law) in order to bear fruit to death.

For I know that good does not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, for to will is present in me, but to do the good, I find not.

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then, I of myself in the mind indeed serve a law of God, but in the flesh a law of sin.

Consequently nothing is condemnation now to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to flesh but according to Spirit.

For the impotence of the law, in that it was weak because of the flesh, God, having sent his own Son in a form of flesh of sin, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,

so that the justice of the law might be fulfilled in us, those who walk not according to flesh, but according to Spirit.

For those who are according to flesh think about the things of the flesh, but those according to Spirit the things of the Spirit.

For the mentality of the flesh is death, but the mentality of the Spirit is life and peace.

Because the mentality of the flesh is enmity against God, for it is not submissive to the law of God, for neither is it able.

And those who are in flesh cannot please God.

But ye are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, this man is not of him.

So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh to live according to flesh.

For if ye live according to flesh, ye are going to die, but if in spirit ye kill the deeds of the body, ye will live.

For I wished I myself to be accursed from the Christ, for my brothers, my kinsmen according to flesh,

of whom are the fathers, and from whom (according to flesh) is the Christ, God who is over all is blessed into the ages. Truly.

That is, the children of the flesh, these are not children of God, instead, the children of the promise are reckoned for seed.

But I say, did Israel, no, not know? First Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy toward a non-nation. Toward a foolish nation, I will make you angry.

if somehow I may provoke my flesh to jealousy and may save some of them.

But clothe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no forethought for lusts of the flesh.
