And the command was found to me which for life, this for death. For sin having taken occasion by the command, deceived me completely, and by it killed me.

But sin, that it might appear sin, by the good working death in me; that sin might be sinful to excess by the command. For we know that the law is spiritual: and I am fleshly, sold under sin. For what I work I know not: for what I would not, this I do; but what I hate, this I do. And if what I would not this I do, I consent to the law that it is good.

But the writing shut up all things under sin, that the promise from faith of Jesus Christ might be given to the believing. And before faith came, we were guarded under the law, shut up to faith about to be revealed. So that the law was our preceptor towards Christ, that we might be justified from faith. And faith having come, we are no more under a preceptor. For we are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were immersed into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither servant nor free, there is neither male and female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye of Christ, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
