But I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that I often proposed to come to you, (and have been hindered until the present time,) that I might have some fruit among you too, even as among the other nations also.

What fruit therefore had ye then in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of them is death.

But now, having got your freedom from sin, and having become bondmen to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end eternal life.

So that, my brethren, ye also have been made dead to the law by the body of the Christ, to be to another, who has been raised up from among the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.

For when we were in the flesh the passions of sins, which were by the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit to death;

Now if the first-fruit be holy, the lump also; and if the root be holy, the branches also.

Having finished this therefore, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will set off by you into Spain.
