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

who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse.

What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.

Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin."

He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.

For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.

Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned.

For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.

The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;

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

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?

knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.

For he who has died has been freed from sin.

For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Therefore don't let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

Neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.

What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? May it never be!

Don't you know that to whom you present yourselves as servants to obedience, his servants you are whom you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

But thanks be to God, that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto you were delivered.

Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.

For when you were servants of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

But now, being made free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of eternal life.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn't have known sin, except through the law. For I wouldn't have known coveting, unless the law had said, "You shall not covet."

But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.

Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

But if what I don't desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.

I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord! So then with the mind, I myself serve God's law, but with the flesh, the sin's law.

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

For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;

If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?

For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

He who didn't spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

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

even as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed."

and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, "There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn't of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
