the gospel concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David as to the flesh,

and shown with power to be the Son of God as to his spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord;

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how constantly I make mention of you, always in my prayers

For, ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes, even his eternal power and divinity, being perceived from his works, are clearly seen, so that they might be without excuse.

What then? Are we better than others? By no means! For we have already brought a charge both against Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.

Because by works of the Law no flesh shall be accepted as righteous: for by the Law is the knowledge of sin.

Blessed is the man whom the Lord shall not charge with sin."

And he received the outward sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was uncircumcised; that he might be the father of all the uncircumcised who have faith, so that righteousness might be put to their account also;

For if while enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more having been reconciled shall we be saved by his life;

So then as through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and thus [death] came through unto all men, because all sinned

(for all the time before the Law sin was in the world; but sin is not set to ones account when there is no law.

Moreover the law came in in addition, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded much more;

that as sin reigned in death, so grace might reign through righteousness to everlasting life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

What shall we say then? Let us continue in sin, that grace may abound still more?

God forbid! How shall we, who died to sin, live any longer in it?

knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we might no longer be in slavery to sin;

for he that hath died hath been set free from sin.

For in that he died, he died to sin once for all; but in that he liveth, he liveth to God.

Thus do ye too consider yourselves as dead to sin, but alive to God, through Jesus Christ.

Let not then sin reign in your mortal body, bringing you into subjection to its lusts,

nor yield up your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but yield up yourselves to God, as being alive from the dead, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

For sin shall not hold dominion over you; for ye are not under the Law, but under grace.

What then? Are we to sin, because we are not under the Law, but under grace? God forbid!

Know ye not, that whomever ye choose to obey as a master, his bondmen ye are, whether of sin whose fruit is death, or of obedience whose fruit is righteousness?

But thanks be to God that, though ye were the bondmen of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching which was delivered to you;

and being made free from sin, ye became the bondmen of righteousness.

For when ye were the slaves of sin, ye were not the bondmen of righteousness.

But now having been delivered from the slavery of sin, and having become the bondservants of God, ye have holiness as the fruit, and everlasting life as the end.

For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is everlasting life, through Christ Jesus our Lord.

What then shall we say? Is the Law sin? God forbid! But I should not have known sin, except by the Law; for I should not have known sinful desire, unless the Law had said, "Thou shalt not covet."

But sin, seizing the opportunity, wrought in me by means of the commandment all manner of sinful desire; for without the Law sin is dead.

And I, apart from the Law, was once alive; but when the commandment came, sin came to life again, and I died;

For sin, seizing the opportunity, deceived me through the commandment, and through it slew me.

Did then that which is good become death to me? Far be it! but sin; that it might become manifest as sin, causing death to me by means of that which is good; that sin by means of the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.

For we know that the Law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, a slave sold to sin.

Now, however, it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

But if I do what I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

but I perceive another law in my members warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

Thanks be to God, [who hath delivered me] through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then, I, the same person, with the mind serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

For the law of the Spirit of life set me free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

For what the Law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God hath done, who on account of sin sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and passed sentence of condemnation on sin in the flesh;

And if Christ is in you, the body indeed is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

For we were saved only in hope. But hope which is seen is not hope; how can a man hope for that which he seeth?

For he determined beforehand that those whom he foreknew should be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

He who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?

For the word of promise is this: "At this time I will come, and Sarah shall have a son."

as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence; and he that believeth in him shall not be put to shame."

And thus will all Israel be saved; as it is written, "There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

Do not for the sake of food undo the work of God. All things indeed are clean; but that which is pure is evil for that man who eateth so as to be an occasion of sin.

But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because he doeth it not from faith; but every thing which is not from faith is sin.

And the God of peace will soon beat down Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
