God

for in that he died, to the sin he died once, and in that he liveth, he liveth to God;

so also ye, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to the sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.

neither present ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God;

What then? shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? let it not be!

and thanks to God, that ye were servants of the sin, and--were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which ye were delivered up;

And now, having been freed from the sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit--to sanctification, and the end life age-during;

for the wages of the sin is death, and the gift of God is life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.

So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another's, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God;

What, then, shall we say? the law is sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:

That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command,

for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,

I thank God--through Jesus Christ our Lord; so then, I myself indeed with the mind do serve the law of God, and with the flesh, the law of sin.

for what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the sin in the flesh,

because the mind of the flesh is enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself,

for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.

And ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God doth dwell in you; and if any one hath not the Spirit of Christ--this one is not His;

for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God;

for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, `Abba--Father.'

The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God;

and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ--if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.

for the earnest looking out of the creation doth expect the revelation of the sons of God;

that also the creation itself shall be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God;

and He who is searching the hearts hath known what is the mind of the Spirit, because according to God he doth intercede for saints.

And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;

What, then, shall we say unto these things? if God is for us, who is against us?
