Letters to the Churches

For I alow not that which I do: for what I would, that do I not: but what I hate, that do I.

If I doe then that which I woulde not, I consent to the Lawe, that it is good.

Nowe then, it is no more I, that doe it, but sinne that dwelleth in me.

For I know, that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to wil is preset with me: but I find no meanes to perform that which is good.

For I doe not the good thing, which I would, but the euil, which I would not, that do I.

Nowe if I do that I would not, it is no more I that doe it, but the sinne that dwelleth in me.

I finde then that when I would doe good, I am thus yoked, that euill is present with me.

For I delite in the Law of God, concerning the inner man:

But I see another Law in my members, rebelling against the Lawe of my minde, and leading me captiue vnto the lawe of sinne, which is in my members.

O wretched man that I am, who shall deliuer me from the body of this death!

I thanke God through Iesus Christ our Lord. Then I my selfe in my minde serue the Lawe of God, but in my flesh the lawe of sinne.

Now then there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Iesus, which walke not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For the Lawe of the Spirite of life, which is in Christ Iesus, hath freed mee from the lawe of sinne and of death.

For (that that was impossible to ye Lawe, in as much as it was weake, because of ye flesh) God sending his owne Sonne, in ye similitude of sinful flesh, and for sinne, condened sinne in the flesh,

That that righteousnes of the Law might be fulfilled in vs, which walke not after ye flesh, but after the Spirit.

For they that are after the flesh, sauour the things of the flesh: but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

For the wisedome of the flesh is death: but the wisedome of the Spirit is life and peace,

Because the wisedome of the flesh is enimitie against God: for it is not subiect to the Lawe of God, neither in deede can be.

So then they that are in the flesh, can not please God.

Now ye are not in the flesh, but in ye Spirit, because ye spirit of God dwelleth in you: but if any man hath not ye Spirit of Christ, ye same is not his.

And if Christ bee in you, the body is dead, because of sinne: but the Spirite is life for righteousnesse sake.

But if the Spirit of him that raised vp Iesus from the dead, dwell in you, he that raised vp Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortall bodies, by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Therefore brethren, wee are detters not to the flesh, to liue after the flesh:

For if ye liue after the flesh, ye shall die: but if yee mortifie the deedes of the body by the Spirit, ye shall liue.

For as many as are ledde by the Spirit of God, they are the sonnes of God.
