Fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, ²⁰ sorcery, enmities, strifes, emulations, wraths, brawlings, factions, sects, ²¹ envying, murders, intoxications, revellings, and such like: concerning which I foretell you now, as I also have foretold, that they who practice these things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, fidelity, ²³ meekness, temperance: against such things there is no law. ²⁴ Besides, they who are Christ's, have crucified the flesh with the passions and lusts. ²⁵ Since we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. ²⁶ Let us not be vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.

¹⁸ this man, therefore, purchased a field with the reward of iniquity, and falling down on his face, he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out:

¹ Wherefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ- ² through whom we have had introduction, also, by faith, into this favor in which we stand, and rejoice in the hope of the glory of God: ³ and not only so, but we rejoice even in afflictions; knowing that affliction produces patience; ⁴ and patience, approbation; and approbation, hope. ⁵ And this hope makes not ashamed: because the love of God is diffused in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, that is given us. ⁶ Besides, we being yet weak, in the appointed time Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷ Now, scarcely for a just man will one die, though for a good man one would, perhaps, even dare to die. ⁸ But God recommends his love to us; because, while we were yet sinner, Christ died for us. ⁹ Much more, then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. ¹⁰ For if, being enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. ¹¹ And not only so, but we even rejoice in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, though whom we have now received reconciliation. ¹² Wherefore, as sin entered into the world by one man, in whom all sinned, and by sin, death: thus death came upon all men. ¹³ (For sin was in the world until the law: but sin is not imputed, when there is no law. ¹⁴ Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them who had not sinned, in the manner of Adam's transgression, who is a type of him that was to come. ¹⁵ But not as the offense, so also is the free gift: for if by the offense of the one, the many died; much more the favor of God, and the gift by favor, which is of the one man, Jesus Christ, has abounded to the many. ¹⁶ And not as through one who sinner, is the free gift: for the sentence was from one to condemnation; but the free gift is from many offenses to justification. ¹⁷ For if by the offense of the one, death reigned by the one; much more shall they who receive the abundance of favor, and of the gift of justification, reign in life, by the one-Jesus Christ.) ¹⁸ Now, therefore, as through one offense, the sentence came upon all men to condemnation: so, also, by one act of obedience, the sentence came upon all men to justification of life. ¹⁹ For, as through the disobedience of the one, the many were constituted sinners; so, by the obedience of the one, the many shall be constituted righteous. ²⁰ Moreover, the law supervened, that the offense might abound; but where sin abounded, favor superabounded- ²¹ that as sin reigned by death, so, also, favor might reign by justification to eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
