Romans 7 Cross References - RKJNT

¹ Do you not know, brethren, (for I speak to those who know the law,) that the law has jurisdiction over a person only as long as he lives? ² For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives; but if the husband dies, she is released from the law concerning her husband. ³ So then, if she marries another man while her husband lives, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband dies, she is free from that law; so that she is not an adulteress, though she marries another man. ⁴ Likewise, my brethren, you have died to the law through the body of Christ; so that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead that we might bring forth fruit for God. ⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sin, which were aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bring forth fruit for death. ⁶ But now we have been released from the law, dead to that which held us bound; so that we serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. ⁷ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? By no means. On the contrary, I would not have known sin, but by the law: for I would not have known about coveting unless the law had said, You shall not covet. ⁸ But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For without the law sin is dead. ⁹ For I was once alive without the law: but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died. ¹⁰ And the commandment, which was intended to bring life, I found to bring death. ¹¹ For sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me. ¹² Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, and just, and good. ¹³ Then did that which is good bring death to me? By no means. But sin, that it might appear to be sin, worked death in me by that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceedingly sinful. ¹⁴ For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold into bondage to sin. ¹⁵ I do not understand that which I do: for I do not do what I want to do; but what I hate is the very thing I do. ¹⁶ But if I do that which I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. ¹⁷ Now then it is no longer I who does it, but sin which dwells in me. ¹⁸ For I know that in myself (that is, in my flesh,) no good thing dwells: for to desire what is right is present within me; but to perform what is right, this I cannot do. ¹⁹ For I do not do the good that I want: but the evil which I do not want, that is what I do. ²⁰ Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin which dwells in me. ²¹ So I find this law at work, that when I want to do good, evil is present with me. ²² For I delight in the law of God in my inner man: ²³ But I see another law in the members of my body, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. ²⁴ O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from this body of death? ²⁵ Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then, with my mind I myself serve the law of God; but with my flesh the law of sin.

²² But I say to you, That whoever is angry with his brother shall be in danger of judgment: and whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whoever shall say, You fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire. ²³ Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you; ²⁴ Leave your gift before the altar, and go your way; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. ²⁵ Come to terms with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him; lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison. ²⁶ Truly I say to you, You shall by no means come out of there, until you have paid the last farthing.

²⁸ But I say to you, That whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

⁴ For God commanded, saying, Honour your father and mother: and, He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death. ⁵ But you say, Whoever shall say to his father or his mother, Whatever of mine might benefit you is a gift to God; ⁶ Then he is free not to honour his father or his mother.

⁶ But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. ⁷ For this reason shall a man leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife; ⁸ And the two shall be one flesh: so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. ⁹ Therefore, what God has joined together, let man not separate. ¹⁰ And in the house his disciples asked him again about the matter. ¹¹ And he said to them, Whoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, commits adultery against her. ¹² And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she commits adultery.

⁶ Knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should no longer be enslaved by sin.

¹¹ In the same way, consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. ¹² Therefore, do not let sin reign in your mortal bodies, to make you obey its lusts. ¹³ Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness: but yield yourselves to God, as those who are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. ¹⁴ For sin shall not be your master: for you are not under the law, but under grace.

¹⁴ For sin shall not be your master: for you are not under the law, but under grace. ¹⁵ What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? By no means.

¹¹ For sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me. ¹² Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, and just, and good.

¹² Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, and just, and good. ¹³ Then did that which is good bring death to me? By no means. But sin, that it might appear to be sin, worked death in me by that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceedingly sinful.

¹⁵ I do not understand that which I do: for I do not do what I want to do; but what I hate is the very thing I do. ¹⁶ But if I do that which I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.

¹⁶ But if I do that which I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. ¹⁷ Now then it is no longer I who does it, but sin which dwells in me.

¹⁷ Now then it is no longer I who does it, but sin which dwells in me. ¹⁸ For I know that in myself (that is, in my flesh,) no good thing dwells: for to desire what is right is present within me; but to perform what is right, this I cannot do.

¹⁸ For I know that in myself (that is, in my flesh,) no good thing dwells: for to desire what is right is present within me; but to perform what is right, this I cannot do. ¹⁹ For I do not do the good that I want: but the evil which I do not want, that is what I do.

¹⁹ For I do not do the good that I want: but the evil which I do not want, that is what I do.

¹⁹ For I do not do the good that I want: but the evil which I do not want, that is what I do. ²⁰ Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin which dwells in me.

²⁰ Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin which dwells in me.

²⁰ Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin which dwells in me. ²¹ So I find this law at work, that when I want to do good, evil is present with me.

²¹ So I find this law at work, that when I want to do good, evil is present with me.

²¹ So I find this law at work, that when I want to do good, evil is present with me. ²² For I delight in the law of God in my inner man:

²² For I delight in the law of God in my inner man:

²² For I delight in the law of God in my inner man: ²³ But I see another law in the members of my body, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

²³ But I see another law in the members of my body, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

²³ But I see another law in the members of my body, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. ²⁴ O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from this body of death? ²⁵ Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then, with my mind I myself serve the law of God; but with my flesh the law of sin.

² For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. ³ For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, as an offering for sin; condemning sin in the flesh:

³ For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, as an offering for sin; condemning sin in the flesh: ⁴ That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk in the ways of the flesh, but in the ways of the Spirit. ⁵ For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. ⁶ Now the mind set on the flesh is death; but the mind set on the spirit is life and peace. ⁷ Because the mind set on the flesh is hostile to God: for it is not subject to the law of God, indeed it cannot be.

⁷ Because the mind set on the flesh is hostile to God: for it is not subject to the law of God, indeed it cannot be. ⁸ So then those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

⁸ So then those who are in the flesh cannot please God. ⁹ But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.

⁹ But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him. ¹⁰ And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is alive because of righteousness. ¹¹ And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead shall also give life to your mortal bodies by his Spirit who dwells in you. ¹² Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, but not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. ¹³ For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if through the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live.

¹³ For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if through the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live.

²⁶ Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness: for we do not know how to pray as we ought: but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.

³ For I could wish that I myself were accursed, cut off from Christ, for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

¹ Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they might be saved.

⁵ Moses describes the righteousness which is of the law, The man who practices these things shall live by them.

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

⁹ Let love be genuine. Abhor that which is evil; cling to that which is good.

⁹ For the commandments, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet; and any other commandments, are summed up in this saying, You shall love your neighbour as yourself.

¹⁴ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its lusts.

²² Do you have a conviction? keep it for yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in that thing which he approves.

¹ And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of the flesh, as babes in Christ. ² I have fed you with milk, and not with solid food: for until now you were not able to bear it, nor are you yet able. ³ For you are still fleshly: for while there is among you envy, and strife, are you not fleshly, and walking as mere men?

⁴ The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does: and likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

³⁹ The wife is bound as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to marry whom she wishes; only in the Lord.

⁸ Do I say these things merely on human authority? or does not the law say the same?

¹⁶ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?

⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law. ⁵⁷ But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁸ For we would not have you ignorant of our trouble, brethren, which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed down beyond measure, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life. ⁹ Indeed, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead: ¹⁰ Who has delivered us from so deadly a peril, and who will deliver us: we trust in him, that he will deliver us again,

⁶ Who has also made us able ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life.

⁶ Who has also made us able ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life. ⁷ For if the ministry of death, written and engraved in stone, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance; and that glory fading:

⁷ For if the ministry of death, written and engraved in stone, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance; and that glory fading: ⁸ Shall not the ministry of the spirit be even more glorious? ⁹ For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, far more does the ministry of righteousness exceed it in glory.

¹⁶ For this reason we do not loose heart; but though our outer man perish, yet the inner man is renewed day by day.

¹⁷ Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.

¹² For if there is first a willing mind, it is acceptable, according to what a man has, and not according to that he does not have.

¹⁵ Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift.

² For I am jealous of you with a godly jealousy: for I have betrothed you to one husband, that I might present you to Christ as a pure virgin.

⁷ And lest I should exalt myself beyond measure through the abundance of revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger from Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted beyond measure. ⁸ I begged the Lord thrice, that this might depart from me. ⁹ And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, most gladly will I boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

⁹ And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, most gladly will I boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. ¹⁰ Therefore, for Christ's sake, I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in distresses: for when I am weak, then I am strong.

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

¹⁹ For through the law I am dead to the law, that I might live to God. ²⁰ I have been crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

¹⁰ For all who depend on the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do all things which are written in the book of the law.

¹² But the law does not rest on faith: rather, The man who does these things shall live by them. ¹³ Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having been made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one who hangs on a tree.

²¹ Is the law then against the promises of God? Absolutely not: for if there had been a law given which could impart life, then righteousness truly would have been through the law.

²³ But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up until faith should be revealed. ²⁴ Therefore, the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. ²⁵ But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

⁴ But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, ⁵ To redeem those who were under the law, that we might be adopted as sons.

²¹ Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law?

¹⁶ This I say, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the desires of the flesh. ¹⁷ For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are in conflict with one another: so that you cannot do the things that you wish.

¹⁷ For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are in conflict with one another: so that you cannot do the things that you wish.

¹⁷ For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are in conflict with one another: so that you cannot do the things that you wish. ¹⁸ But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

¹⁸ But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. ¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are obvious; they are; sexual immorality, impurity, licentiousness,

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are obvious; they are; sexual immorality, impurity, licentiousness, ²⁰ Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strife, jealousy, fits of rage, selfishness, dissensions, factions,

²⁰ Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strife, jealousy, fits of rage, selfishness, dissensions, factions, ²¹ Envy, drunkenness, orgies, and the like: of which I forewarn you, as I have also warned you in the past, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

²¹ Envy, drunkenness, orgies, and the like: of which I forewarn you, as I have also warned you in the past, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ Gentleness, self-control: against such things there is no law.

²³ Gentleness, self-control: against such things there is no law. ²⁴ And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

²⁴ And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

¹⁵ For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only a new creation.

¹ And you were dead in trespasses and sins; ² In which you walked in times past, according to the ways of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience. ³ Among them we all lived in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, like the others.

³ Among them we all lived in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, like the others. ⁴ But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us, ⁵ Even when we were dead in transgressions, has made us alive together with Christ, (by grace you are saved;)

¹¹ Therefore remember, that in times past you Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by those who are called the Circumcision, (that which is performed in the flesh by hands;)

¹⁵ Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, the law of commandments and ordinances; to create in himself one new man in place of two, thus making peace;

⁸ To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, was this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

¹⁶ That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

²² Then put off the old man, which belongs to your former life, which is corrupt through deceitful lusts;

³ But sexual immorality, and all impurity, or covetousness, must not even be named among you, as is befitting saints;

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

²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church, his body: and he himself is its saviour. ²⁴ Therefore, as the church is subject to Christ, so let wives be to their own husbands in everything. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church, and gave himself up for her; ²⁶ That he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water through the word, ²⁷ That he might present her to himself a glorious church, without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that she should be holy and without blemish.

¹¹ Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹² For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against authorities, against the powers of darkness of this world, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. ¹³ Therefore, take up the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand on the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

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

¹³ For it is God who works in you both to will and to do his good pleasure.

³ For we are the true circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh,

⁵ Circumcised the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; regarding the law, a Pharisee; ⁶ Concerning zeal, a persecutor of the church; regarding the righteousness which is of the law, blameless.

⁸ Furthermore, I count all things as loss compared to the excellency of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may win Christ, ⁹ And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, based on the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:

¹² Not that I have already attained it, or have already become perfect: but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus laid hold of me.

¹² Not that I have already attained it, or have already become perfect: but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus laid hold of me. ¹³ Brethren, I do not consider myself to have laid hold of it yet: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth to those things which are ahead, ¹⁴ I press on toward the goal for the prize, to which God has called me upward in Christ Jesus.

⁶ Be anxious about nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

¹⁷ Not because I desire a gift: but I desire the fruit that increases to your credit.

⁶ Which has come to you. In all the world it brings forth fruit and grows, as it does also in you, since the day you heard of it, and understood the grace of God in truth:

¹⁰ That you might walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please him in all things, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

²² He has now reconciled in his body of flesh through death, to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable in his sight:

¹¹ In him also you were circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

¹⁴ Cancelling the bond of debt, with its legal decrees against us, which was contrary to us, and taking it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

²⁰ Therefore, if you are dead with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as though still living in the world, do you submit to such ordinances as,

⁵ Therefore, put to death what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

⁹ Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds; ¹⁰ And have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of the one who created him.

¹⁷ And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

⁵ Not in the lust of passion, as the Gentiles who do not know God:

⁸ But we know that the law is good, if a man uses it lawfully;

¹¹ But refuse to enroll the younger widows: for when their sensual desires cause them to disregard their dedication to Christ, they will marry; ¹² Thus incurring condemnation, because they have cast aside their first pledge. ¹³ Besides, they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. ¹⁴ Therefore, I want the younger women to marry, bear children, guide the house, and give the adversary no occasion to speak reproachfully.

¹¹ But you, O man of God, flee these things; and follow righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness. ¹² Fight the good fight of faith; lay hold on eternal life, to which you are called, to which you made the good confession before many witnesses.

¹⁹ Nevertheless, the foundation of God stands firm, having this seal, The Lord knows those who are his. And, Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.

²⁵ In gentleness correcting those who oppose him; that God might grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth; ²⁶ And that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

¹⁸ And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom: to him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁴ Who gave himself up for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people of his own, zealous for good works.

³ For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, slaves to various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy; hated, and hating one another.

⁹ You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

¹⁵ And deliver those who through fear of death were all their lives subject to bondage.

¹⁷ Therefore, in all things he had to be made like his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

¹³ But encourage one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

¹² For the word of God is alive, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart.

¹⁵ For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our infirmities; but one who in every respect was tempted as we are, yet without sin.

¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:

¹⁰ And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

⁴ You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood in your striving against sin.

¹³ Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, nor does he tempt any man: ¹⁴ But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away and enticed by his own lust. ¹⁵ Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is fully-grown, brings forth death.

¹⁵ Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is fully-grown, brings forth death.

²² But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

²⁶ If any man among you thinks he is religious, but does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his own heart and his religion is in vain.

⁹ But if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. ¹⁰ For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble at one point, is guilty of breaking it all.

¹⁰ For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble at one point, is guilty of breaking it all. ¹¹ For he who said, Do not commit adultery, also said, Do not kill. Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do kill, you have become a transgressor of the law.

² For we all stumble in many ways. If any man does not stumble in his words, he is a perfect man, and able also to bridle his whole body.

¹ What causes strife and quarrels among you? do they not come from your passions, which are at war in your members?

⁵ Do you think that the scripture speaks in vain when it says, The spirit he made to dwell in us tends toward envious desires? ⁶ But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

⁵ You also, as living stones, are being built up into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

⁹ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God; that you should declare the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.

¹¹ Dearly beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers, abstain from fleshly lusts, which wage war against the soul.

²⁴ He himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we might die to sins and live to righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

⁴ But let it be of the inner person of your heart, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.

² That he may live the rest of his time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

¹⁹ While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the slaves of depravity: for by that which a man is overcome, to that he is enslaved.

⁷ But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. ⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

¹⁵ Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ¹⁶ For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

⁴ Whoever commits sin practices lawlessness: for sin is lawlessness.

²³ Save others, pulling them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.

⁷ Let us be glad and rejoice, and give glory to him: for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.

⁴ And he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, or sorrow, or crying, or pain: for the former things have passed away.

⁹ And there came to me one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and spoke to me, saying, Come here, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.
