For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? By no means.

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants in obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

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

Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit to God.

But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead by which we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

For they that are according to the flesh, do mind the things of the flesh: but they that are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. Now if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

The Spirit itself testifieth with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

For I reckon, that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

For we are saved by hope: But hope that is seen, is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

And we know that all things work together for good, to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

But in all these things we are more than conquerors, through him that loved us.

Who are Israelites; to whom pertain the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;

Whose are the fathers, and from whom according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

Not as though the word of God hath taken no effect. For they are not all Israel, who are descendants from Israel?

Neither because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

That is, They who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called, The children of the living God.

And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things?

But I say, Did not Israel know? First, Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.

If by any means I may incite to emulation them who are my flesh, and may save some of them.

For if the first fruit is holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

For if thou wast cut out of the olive-tree which is wild by nature, and wast ingrafted contrary to nature into a good olive-tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive-tree?

As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as concerning the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.

For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

For from him, and by him, and to him are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but from God: the powers that are, are ordained by God.

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power; do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same:

For, for this cause ye pay tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

For whether we live, we live to the Lord; and whether we die, we die to the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

For the sake of food, destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offense.

We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

And I myself also am persuaded concerning you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who are at Jerusalem.

It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in carnal things.

Salute Andronicus and Junia my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them who are of Aristobulus' household.

Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that are of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.

Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren who are with them.

Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.

For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

To the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.

That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

For it hath been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by them who are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God.

But to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called:

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who from God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

However, we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to naught:

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labor.

For we are laborers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

If any man defileth the temple of God, him will God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

Therefore let no man glory in men: for all things are yours:

Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I wish ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.

We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honorable, but we are despised.

Even to this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place;

Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things to this day.

For this cause have I sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who will bring you into remembrance of my ways which are in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them who are puffed up, but the power.

And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are assembled, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Cleanse out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do ye not judge them that are within?

But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

Do ye not know that the saints will judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

All things are lawful to me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

Know ye not, that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? By no means.

What, know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God, and ye are not your own?

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

But he that is married, is anxious for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

Therefore as concerning the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.

For though there are that are called gods, whether in heaven or upon earth, (as there are gods many, and lords many)

Yet to us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

But food commendeth us not to God: for neither if we eat, are we the better; neither if we eat not, are we the worse.

But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours should become a stumbling-block to them that are weak.
