You may be certain, my brothers, that it has frequently been in my mind to come to you (but till now I was kept from it), so that I might have some fruit from you in the same way as I have had it from the other nations.

And because they had not the mind to keep God in their knowledge, God gave them up to an evil mind, to do those things which are not right;

And I have no clear knowledge of what I am doing, for that which I have a mind to do, I do not, but what I have hate for, that I do.

But, if I do that which I have no mind to do, I am in agreement with the law that the law is good.

For I am conscious that in me, that is, in my flesh, there is nothing good: I have the mind but not the power to do what is right.

For the good which I have a mind to do, I do not: but the evil which I have no mind to do, that I do.

But if I do what I have no mind to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

So I see a law that, though I have a mind to do good, evil is present in me.

But I see another law in my body, working against the law of my mind, and making me the servant of the law of sin which is in my flesh.

I give praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So with my mind I am a servant to the law of God, but with my flesh to the law of sin.

For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:

Because the mind of the flesh is opposite to God; it is not under the law of God, and is not able to be:

And he who is the searcher of hearts has knowledge of the mind of the Spirit, because he is making prayers for the saints in agreement with the mind of God.

I say what is true in Christ, and not what is false, my mind giving witness with me in the Holy Spirit,

Who has knowledge of the mind of the Lord? or who has taken part in his purposes?

And let not your behaviour be like that of this world, but be changed and made new in mind, so that by experience you may have knowledge of the good and pleasing and complete purpose of God.

He who has the power of comforting, let him do so; he who gives, let him give freely; he who has the power of ruling, let him do it with a serious mind; he who has mercy on others, let it be with joy.

This man puts one day before another: to that man they are the same. Let every man be certain in his mind.

Then let us not be judges of one another any longer: but keep this in mind, that no man is to make it hard for his brother, or give him cause for doubting.

Now may the God who gives comfort and strength in waiting make you of the same mind with one another in harmony with Christ Jesus:
