Romans 7 Cross References - Haweis

¹ ARE you unacquainted, brethren, (for I am speaking to those who know the law,) that the law exercises dominion over a person for as long time as he liveth? ² For the woman who is subject to a husband, is bound by the law to that husband during his life; but if the husband be dead, she is discharged from that husband. ³ She shall therefore certainly be counted an adulteress, if, her husband being alive, she be for another man: but if her husband is dead, she is free from the law; so that she shall be no adulteress, though married to another husband. ⁴ Wherefore, my brethren, ye also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye might be for another, who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit for God. ⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions excited by the law, wrought powerfully in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death. ⁶ But now we have been discharged from the law, that being dead by which we were held fast; that we should serve in renovation of spirit, and not in the antiquity of the letter. ⁷ What then shall we say? Is the law sin? God forbid. Yea, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not even known concupiscence, unless the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. ⁸ But sin, seizing the opportunity by the law, wrought in me all concupiscence. For without the law sin is dead. ⁹ For though I lived without the law formerly; yet when the commandment came, sin revived, but I died. ¹⁰ And the commandment, which [was] for life, the same was found by me for death. ¹¹ For sin, seizing the occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and thereby slew me. ¹² So then the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. ¹³ Did then that which is good become fatal to me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin by that which was good [in itself], was the cause of death to me; that sin through the commandment might become transcendantly sinful. ¹⁴ For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am fleshly, sold under sin. ¹⁵ For that which I am doing I approve not: for not the thing which I wish, that do I practise; but the very thing I hate, that I do. ¹⁶ But if what I would not, that I do, I concur with the law that it is excellent. ¹⁷ Now then no more I do this, but sin dwelling in me. ¹⁸ For I know that there dwelleth not in me (that is, in my flesh) any good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. ¹⁹ For I do not the good which I wish: but the evil which I would not, that I do. ²⁰ If then I do that which I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. ²¹ I find then a law, that, when I wish to do good, evil is presented to me. ²² For I am delighted with the law of God, as respecting the inward man: ²³ but I see another law in my members, militating against the law in my mind, and making me captive to the law of sin which is in my members. ²⁴ O wretched man, I! who shall pluck me from the body of this death? ²⁵ I give thanks to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Well then, I myself with my mind am servant to the law of God; but in my flesh to the law of sin.

¹³ But I would not that ye should be unacquainted, brethren, that oftentimes I have been purposing to come to you (and have been prevented until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other Gentile nations.

⁶ But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female; ⁷ and said, For this cause shall a man forsake father and mother, and shall adhere to his wife; ⁸ and they two shall be one flesh: so that they are no more two, but one flesh. ⁹ What therefore God hath yoked together, let no man separate. ¹⁰ And in the house the disciples again asked him of this matter. ¹¹ And he said unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her: ¹² and if a wife put away her husband, and marrieth another, she committeth adultery.

³ Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery; and placing her in the midst, ⁴ they say unto him, Master, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. ⁵ Now Moses in the law commanded, that such women should be stoned: therefore what sayest thou?

¹¹ But the younger widows reject: for when they give themselves to wantonness contrary to Christ, they will marry; ¹² incurring censure, for having violated their former engagement. ¹³ And at the same time also they learn to be idle, visiting about in the houses; and not merely idle, but talkative and inquisitive, speaking things they ought not. ¹⁴ I would therefore have the younger widows to marry, bear children, govern their house, give no occasion to the adversary to bring a reproach on them.

²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ is the head of the church; and is himself the saviour of the body. ²⁴ As then the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. ²⁵ Husbands, love your own wives, as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, purifying it in the laver of water by the word, ²⁷ that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having blemish, nor wrinkle, nor any such things; but that it may be holy and unblameable.

¹¹ filled with fruits of righteousness, which by Jesus Christ are to the glory and praise of God.

¹³ Neither present your members as weapons of unrighteousness for sin: but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as weapons of righteousness for God.

⁷ What then shall we say? Is the law sin? God forbid. Yea, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not even known concupiscence, unless the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. ⁸ But sin, seizing the opportunity by the law, wrought in me all concupiscence. For without the law sin is dead. ⁹ For though I lived without the law formerly; yet when the commandment came, sin revived, but I died. ¹⁰ And the commandment, which [was] for life, the same was found by me for death. ¹¹ For sin, seizing the occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and thereby slew me. ¹² So then the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. ¹³ Did then that which is good become fatal to me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin by that which was good [in itself], was the cause of death to me; that sin through the commandment might become transcendantly sinful.

²³ but I see another law in my members, militating against the law in my mind, and making me captive to the law of sin which is in my members.

⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

⁶ Who hath made us also able ministers of the new testament, not of the letter but of the spirit; for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. ⁷ For if the ministry of death in letters graven on stone, was attended with glory, so that the children of Israel could not keep their eyes fixed upon the countenance of Moses, because of the glory of his countenance, though [soon] evanescent; ⁸ how much more will not the ministry of the Spirit be attended with glory? ⁹ For if the ministry of condemnation is glory, much more doth the ministry of righteousness excel in glory. ¹⁰ For as many as are of the works of the law, are under a curse: for it is written, "Cursed is every one who continueth not in all the things written in the book of the law to do them."

¹⁶ But I say, Walk in the Spirit, and ye will not fulfil the lust of the flesh. ¹⁷ For the flesh hath appetites contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these act in opposition the one to the other: so that ye do not the things which ye would.

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are these: adultery, whoredom, impurity, lasciviousness, ²⁰ idolatry, magical charms, enmities, strifes, jealousies, animosities, quarrels, divisions, heresies, ²¹ envyings, murders, drunkenness, revels, and the like of these, concerning which I tell you now, as I have told you already, that they who live in such practices shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

²⁴ But they who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and irregular appetites.

³ among whom also we all have had our conversation in time past, in the lusts of the flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, as well as the rest.

¹¹ Wherefore remember that ye in time past were Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that called circumcision made by hands in the flesh;

⁵ Mortify therefore your members which are on the earth, fornication, impurity, the vile passion, evil concupiscence, and insatiable desire, which is idolatry:

³ For we ourselves also in time past were thoughtless, disobedient, erroneous, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

¹⁵ Then passion impregnated, bringeth forth sin, and sin reaching its consummation, bringeth forth death.

⁹ but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. ¹⁰ For whosoever shall keep the whole law, but offendeth in a single particular, he is chargeable with the breach of all.

¹ FROM whence come wars and conflicts among you? spring they not from hence, even from your passions, which war in your members?

⁴ Every one who committeth sin, committeth also a transgression of the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

⁹ For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the Gospel of his Son, how incessantly I make mention of you,

²⁷ And the uncircumcision by nature which fulfilleth the law shall condemn thee, who through the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law. ²⁸ For not he who is outwardly such, is the Jew; neither is that which is outward in the flesh, circumcision. ²⁹ But he is a Jew who is such inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

⁴ We have been buried therefore with him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we should walk in newness of life.

¹¹ So also do ye account yourselves dead indeed to sin, but living unto God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹⁴ For sin shall not hold dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. ¹⁵ What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

¹ ARE you unacquainted, brethren, (for I am speaking to those who know the law,) that the law exercises dominion over a person for as long time as he liveth?

⁴ Wherefore, my brethren, ye also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye might be for another, who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit for God.

² And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renovation of your mind, that you may prove by experience what is the will of God, that is good, acceptable, and perfect.

⁶ Who hath made us also able ministers of the new testament, not of the letter but of the spirit; for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

¹⁷ Wherefore if any person be in Christ, he is a new creation: the old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

²³ But before the faith came, we were in ward under the law, shut up together for the faith that should be revealed. ²⁴ Wherefore the law was our conductor, as of children, to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. ²⁵ But when faith was come, we were no longer under a paedagogue.

⁴ but when the fulness of time was come, God sent forth his Son born of a woman, born under the law, ⁵ that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

¹⁵ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

³ For we are the circumcision, who serve God in spirit, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh.

¹⁰ and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge, after the image of him that created him.

²⁸ but I say unto you, That every one who looketh upon a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart.

¹⁵ Then said he to them, Beware, and be on your guard against covetousness; for a man's life doth not depend on the abundance of his possessions.

³³ The silver, or gold, or apparel of no man have I coveted:

⁵ But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is not God unrighteous in inflicting wrath? (I speak humanly).

¹ WHAT then shall we say that Abraham our father hath obtained by the flesh?

¹⁵ What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions excited by the law, wrought powerfully in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death.

⁸ But sin, seizing the opportunity by the law, wrought in me all concupiscence. For without the law sin is dead.

¹¹ For sin, seizing the occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and thereby slew me.

¹³ Did then that which is good become fatal to me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin by that which was good [in itself], was the cause of death to me; that sin through the commandment might become transcendantly sinful.

⁹ For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is comprised in this word, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

³ But fornication and all impurity, or insatiable desire, let it not be mentioned among you, as becometh saints;

⁵ not in the vile passion of lewdness, as the Gentiles which know not God;

¹⁵ Love not the world, neither the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ¹⁶ For every thing which is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pomp of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

²² Had I not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin.

²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no other ever did, they would not have had sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

¹⁷ Now then no more I do this, but sin dwelling in me.

¹⁴ but every person is tempted, when by his own peculiar passion he is born away, and ensnared. ¹⁵ Then passion impregnated, bringeth forth sin, and sin reaching its consummation, bringeth forth death.

²¹ Ye have heard that it was said to the men of antient times, "Thou shalt do no murder;" and whosoever shall commit murder, shall be liable to the judgment: ²² but I say unto you, That every man who is angry with his brother without cause, shall be liable to the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be liable to the sanhedrim: but whosever shall say, Thou fool, shall be liable to be cast into hell fire. ²³ If therefore thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; ²⁴ leave there thy gift before the altar, and go: first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. ²⁵ Be disposed to agree with thy prosecutor speedily, whilst thou art in the way with him [to the bar]; lest the prosecutor deliver thee up to the judge, and the judge commit thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. ²⁶ Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out from thence, till thou hast paid the last farthing.

⁴ For God commanded, saying "Honour thy father and thy mother:" and, He that curseth father or mother, let him surely die. ⁵ But ye say, If any man declare to his father or mother, This is a [devoted] gift, which else might have been employed by me for thy advantage; ⁶ then he shall not with it honour his father and mother: so have ye vacated the command of God by your tradition.

²⁰ The young man saith to him, All these things have I observed from my youth: in what am I still deficient?

⁸ For leaving the command of God, ye adhere to the tradition of men, the washings of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye practise. ⁹ And he said to them, Strangely do ye make void the command of God, that ye may observe your tradition. ¹⁰ For Moses said, "Honour thy father and thy mother:" and "he that curseth father or mother, let him assuredly be put to death." ¹¹ But ye affirm, If a man say to his father or mother, it is Corban (that is, a gift), which otherwise might have been advantageous to thee from me; ¹² then ye permit him no more to do any thing for his father, or his mother; ¹³ abrogating the word of God by the tradition, which ye have transmitted down; and many such like things ye do.

²⁵ And, behold, a certain doctor of the law arose, to make trial of him, saying, Master, by doing what shall I inherit eternal life? ²⁶ And he said unto him, What is written in the law? How readest thou? ²⁷ And he answering said, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself." ²⁸ And he said unto him, Thou hast answered rightly: this do, and thou shalt live. ²⁹ Then he, desirous to make himself appear a righteous person, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

²⁹ But he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years I am serving thee, and never have transgressed thy command: yet to me thou hast never once given a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

⁹ Then he spake also this parable to certain persons, who had confidence in themselves, that they were righteous, and despised others: ¹⁰ Two men went up to the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, the other a tax-farmer. ¹¹ The Pharisee, standing by himself, made this prayer: God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of mankind, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or as this tax-gatherer. ¹² I keep a fast twice a week, I pay the tenth of all things I possess.

²¹ Then he said, All these things have I observed from my youth.

¹⁹ Now we know that whatsoever things the law saith, it speaks to those who are under the law: that every mouth might be sealed up, and all the world become criminal before God. ²⁰ Wherefore by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified before God: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

²¹ I find then a law, that, when I wish to do good, evil is presented to me. ²² For I am delighted with the law of God, as respecting the inward man: ²³ but I see another law in my members, militating against the law in my mind, and making me captive to the law of sin which is in my members.

⁷ Because the propensity of the flesh is inimical against God: for it is not in subjection to the law of God, neither indeed can it be.

⁵ For Moses describeth the righteousness which is by the law, "That the man who doeth these things shall live by them."

¹⁹ For I through the law am dead to the law, that I should live unto God.

⁵ circumcised the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; ⁶ respecting the law, a Pharisee; with regard to zeal, persecuting the church; as touching the righteousness which is by the law, blameless.

¹⁰ For whosoever shall keep the whole law, but offendeth in a single particular, he is chargeable with the breach of all. ¹¹ For he that said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not commit murder. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, yet dost commit murder, thou art a transgressor of the law.

⁷ For if the ministry of death in letters graven on stone, was attended with glory, so that the children of Israel could not keep their eyes fixed upon the countenance of Moses, because of the glory of his countenance, though [soon] evanescent;

¹² Now the law is not by faith: but "The man that doeth these things shall live by them."

²² that ye put off respecting your former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful passions;

¹³ but exhort one another daily, whilst to-day remains, that no one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

²² But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves by false reasoning.

²⁶ If any man thinks he is a religious character among you, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

³¹ Do we then abolish the law through faith? God forbid: but on the contrary, we give the law stability.

¹⁴ For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

¹⁶ But if what I would not, that I do, I concur with the law that it is excellent.

⁸ But we know that the law is good if a man use it according to its institution;

⁸ But sin, seizing the opportunity by the law, wrought in me all concupiscence. For without the law sin is dead. ⁹ For though I lived without the law formerly; yet when the commandment came, sin revived, but I died. ¹⁰ And the commandment, which [was] for life, the same was found by me for death. ¹¹ For sin, seizing the occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and thereby slew me.

³ For that which was impossible by the law, inasmuch as it was impotent through the flesh, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in that flesh:

²¹ Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? God forbid. For if there had been a law given which was capable of procuring life, verily righteousness would have been by the law.

¹³ Let no man under temptation say, I am tempted of God: for God is incapable of temptation from evils, and he tempteth no man:

²² but I say unto you, That every man who is angry with his brother without cause, shall be liable to the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be liable to the sanhedrim: but whosever shall say, Thou fool, shall be liable to be cast into hell fire.

²³ Then turning from him, he said unto Peter, Get thee behind me Satan! thou art an offence to me: for thou dost not relish the things of God, but those of men.

²⁵ but not having wherewithal to pay, his lord ordered him to be sold, and his wife and his children, and all things whatsoever he possessed, and payment to be made.

³⁷ Then Jesus said to him, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." ³⁸ This is the first and great commandment. ³⁹ And the second is like to it, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." ⁴⁰ On these two commandments, the whole law and the prophets depend.

⁸ Then Simon Peter seeing it, fell down on his knees before Jesus, saying, Go from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord!

⁶ Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion dispatched towards him friends, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not deserving that thou shouldest enter beneath my roof.

¹¹ The Pharisee, standing by himself, made this prayer: God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of mankind, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or as this tax-gatherer. ¹² I keep a fast twice a week, I pay the tenth of all things I possess. ¹³ And the tax-gatherer standing at a distance, would not even so much as lift his eyes heaven-ward, but smote on his breast, saying, May God accept the atonement for me a sinner! ¹⁴ I say to you, Went this man down to his house justified, or the other? for every one who exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

¹⁸ For I know that there dwelleth not in me (that is, in my flesh) any good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

²² For I am delighted with the law of God, as respecting the inward man: ²³ but I see another law in my members, militating against the law in my mind, and making me captive to the law of sin which is in my members. ²⁴ O wretched man, I! who shall pluck me from the body of this death?

¹ AND I, brethren, have been unable to speak to you as unto spiritual men, but as to carnal, even as to babes in Christ. ² And I have given you milk to drink, and not meat: for hitherto ye have not been capable of it, yea, even to the present moment ye are not capable of it. ³ For ye are still carnal: for since there are among you envy, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as [other] men?

⁸ To me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

¹² For the word of God is quickening, and energetic, and sharper than every two-edged sword, and piercing through and through, so as to divide both soul and spirit, both joints and spinal marrow, and critically judges the thoughts and intents of the heart.

⁴⁸ Ye do indeed bear witness to, and with pleasure concur in your fathers' deeds; for they truly killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.

¹⁹ For I do not the good which I wish: but the evil which I would not, that I do. ²⁰ If then I do that which I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

⁹ Let love be undissembled. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

²² Hast thou faith, exercise it before God within thyself. Blessed is the man who condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth.

¹⁷ For the flesh hath appetites contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these act in opposition the one to the other: so that ye do not the things which ye would.

¹² Not that I have already attained, or am now perfect: but I pursue, that I may overtake that for which also by his apprehension of me I am destined by Christ Jesus. ¹³ Brethren, I count not myself to have overtaken it; but this one object I pursue, forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching out to those which are before, ¹⁴ I press towards the mark for the prize of the divine calling from on high in Christ Jesus.

¹⁹ Nevertheless the stable foundation of God standeth firm, having this seal, the Lord knoweth those who belong to him. And, let every man who mentions the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.

⁹ Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of exultation above those who partake with thee."

² For in many things we all offend. If any man offend not in word, he is a perfect man, and capable of reining in the whole body.

⁷ but if we walk in the light, as he is himself in the light, we have communion with each other, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. ⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

²³ and others save with trembling, snatching them out of the fire; though hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

¹² So then the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

²² For I am delighted with the law of God, as respecting the inward man:

⁷ "Blessed are they whose unrighteousnesses are forgiven, and whose sins are covered up. ⁸ Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will in nowise impute sin."

²⁰ If then I do that which I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

¹² For if there is first a ready mind, a man is acceptable according to what he hath, and not according to what he hath not.

⁸ Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the transcendently excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but as offals of ordure, that I may gain Christ, ⁹ and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is by the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

⁵ Think ye that the scripture saith without meaning, The spirit which dwelleth in you strongly urges to envy? ⁶ But he giveth mightier grace. Wherefore he saith, "God sets himself against the proud, but giveth grace to the lowly."

²¹ For from within out of the heart of men proceed wicked reasonings, adulteries, whoredoms, murders, ²² thefts, inordinate cravings, mischievous actions, knavery, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, folly: ²³ all these wicked things come from within, and render a person unclean.

¹³ If ye then, evil as ye are, know how to give good gifts to your children; how much more shall your Father, who is in heaven, give his Holy Spirit to those who ask him?

¹⁵ For that which I am doing I approve not: for not the thing which I wish, that do I practise; but the very thing I hate, that I do.

¹⁹ For I do not the good which I wish: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

²⁵ I give thanks to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Well then, I myself with my mind am servant to the law of God; but in my flesh to the law of sin.

³ For that which was impossible by the law, inasmuch as it was impotent through the flesh, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in that flesh: ⁴ that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled by us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. ⁵ For they who are after the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; but they who are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. ⁶ For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. ⁷ Because the propensity of the flesh is inimical against God: for it is not in subjection to the law of God, neither indeed can it be. ⁸ They then who are in the flesh, cannot please God. ⁹ But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his. ¹⁰ But if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead on account of sin; but the Spirit is alive through righteousness. ¹¹ But if the Spirit of him who hath raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he who raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his indwelling Spirit in you. ¹² Truly then we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. ¹³ For if ye live after the flesh, ye are ready to die: but if by the Spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

¹⁴ But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to gratify its passions.

¹ AND you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins, ² wherein in times past ye walked after the fashion of this world, after the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now worketh with energy in the children of disobedience: ³ among whom also we all have had our conversation in time past, in the lusts of the flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, as well as the rest. ⁴ But God, being rich in mercy, through the great love with which he hath loved us, ⁵ though we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved,)

¹³ For it is God who worketh effectually in you both to will and to perform of his good pleasure.

¹² Not that I have already attained, or am now perfect: but I pursue, that I may overtake that for which also by his apprehension of me I am destined by Christ Jesus.

² that he might not spend the remaining space of life in the flesh after human passions, but the divine will.

¹ THEN Jesus full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the spirit into the wilderness,

³⁴ Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, That every one who committeth sin is the slave of sin.

¹² Let not therefore sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the passions thereof.

¹¹ Be clothed in the panoply of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹² For our conflict is not merely against flesh and blood, but against principalities, and against powers, and against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against wicked spirits in the aerial regions. ¹³ Therefore take the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all things to stand.

¹⁷ Wherefore he ought in all things to be made like to his brethren, in order to become a merciful and faithful high-priest in those things which relate to God, to make a propitiation for the sins of the people:

¹⁵ For we have not an high-priest incapable of a fellow-feeling with our infirmities, but one tempted in all points, in exact resemblance with ourselves, sin excepted.

¹⁹ Preaching liberty to them, while they themselves are the slaves of corruption: for by whatever a man is overcome, by that also he is enslaved.

³⁴ Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

²⁹ But he is a Jew who is such inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

¹⁶ Therefore we never faint; for though our outward man decay, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

¹⁶ that he would give you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man;

⁹ Lie not one to another, seeing ye have put off the old man with his practices;

¹⁰ For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; giving my laws to their understanding, even on their hearts will I inscribe them: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.

⁴ but let it be the hidden man of the heart, with that incorruptible ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God highly valuable.

²¹ I find then a law, that, when I wish to do good, evil is presented to me.

¹¹ But thou, O man of God, flee from these things; but pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. ¹² Strain every nerve in the noble conflict of faith, lay fast hold on eternal life, unto which also thou hast been called, and hast confessed the good confession before many witnesses.

²⁵ with meekness correcting those who are opposers, if at last God may give unto them repentance so as to submit to the conviction of the truth; ²⁶ and that they may escape out of the snare of the devil, who have been captured by him for his will.

⁴ As yet ye have not resisted unto blood, struggling against sin.

¹¹ Beloved, I exhort you, as strangers and sojourners, Abstain from carnal lusts, which war against the soul;

⁴ Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

⁶ Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be fed to the full.

¹⁸ "The spirit of the Lord is upon me, for the work whereunto he hath anointed me; he hath sent me to preach glad tidings to the poor; to heal the contrite in heart; to proclaim liberty to the captives; and restore sight to the blind; to send forth the bruised free from bonds;

⁶ knowing this, that our old man hath been crucified with him, that the body of sin might be abolished, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

¹³ For if ye live after the flesh, ye are ready to die: but if by the Spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

²⁶ In like manner also the Spirit affords assistance to our infirmities: for even this, what we should pray for as we ought, we know not: but the same Spirit more abundantly maketh intercession for us with groanings unutterable.

⁸ For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, of the tribulation which came to us in Asia, that above measure we have been burdened beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life: ⁹ for we ourselves, in ourselves have received the sentence of death, that we should have no confidence in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead. ¹⁰ Who from so imminent a prospect of death hath delivered us, and still delivers: in whom we trust also that he will yet deliver us:

⁷ And that I might not be lifted up above measure by the transcendent greatness of the revelations, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, the angel Satan, to buffet me, that I might not be lifted up above measure. ⁸ For this thrice I besought the Lord, that he might depart from me. ⁹ And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may fix its residence in me.

¹¹ in whom also ye have been circumcised with the circumcision not made with hands, by the putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, through the circumcision of Christ:

¹⁸ And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and preserve me for his celestial kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. ¹⁵ and deliver those, even as many as through their whole life were subjects of bondage to the fear of death.

⁴ And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more; nor shall mourning, nor crying, nor toil be any more: because the former things are passed away.

²¹ And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.

¹⁷ But thanks be to God, that though ye were the servants of sin, ye have obeyed from the heart the model of doctrine into which ye were delivered.

¹⁵ For that which I am doing I approve not: for not the thing which I wish, that do I practise; but the very thing I hate, that I do. ¹⁶ But if what I would not, that I do, I concur with the law that it is excellent. ¹⁷ Now then no more I do this, but sin dwelling in me. ¹⁸ For I know that there dwelleth not in me (that is, in my flesh) any good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. ¹⁹ For I do not the good which I wish: but the evil which I would not, that I do. ²⁰ If then I do that which I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. ²¹ I find then a law, that, when I wish to do good, evil is presented to me.

⁵⁷ But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁵ Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift.

⁹ And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may fix its residence in me. ¹⁰ Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then am I strong.

¹⁷ For the flesh hath appetites contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these act in opposition the one to the other: so that ye do not the things which ye would. ¹⁸ But if ye are under the conduct of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. ¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are these: adultery, whoredom, impurity, lasciviousness, ²⁰ idolatry, magical charms, enmities, strifes, jealousies, animosities, quarrels, divisions, heresies, ²¹ envyings, murders, drunkenness, revels, and the like of these, concerning which I tell you now, as I have told you already, that they who live in such practices shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity, ²³ meekness, temperance; against such there is no law. ²⁴ But they who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and irregular appetites.

²⁰ giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God even the Father;

⁶ Be not anxious about any thing, but in every case by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known unto God.

¹⁷ And everything that ye do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

⁵ ye also, as living stones, are built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices, well pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.

⁹ But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired by purchase; that ye should publish abroad the excellencies of him, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
