12 Therefore let not sin reign in your mortal body, in order to obey its desires;
13 neither present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God
as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you; for you are not under law, but under grace.
15 What then? shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Let it not be.
16 Know you not that to whom you present yourselves servants for obedience, his servants you are
whom you obey, either of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
17 But thanks to God that you were servants of sin, but you obeyed from the heart the form of teaching
into which you were delivered,
18 and having been made free from sin, you became servants to righteousness.
19 I speak as a man, because of the weakness of your flesh. For as you present your members servants to
uncleanness and to lawlessness in order to lawlessness, so now present your members servants to
righteousness in order to sanctification.
20 For when you were servants of sin you were free in respect to righteousness.
21 What fruit, therefore, had you then? Of which things you are now ashamed; for the end of those
things is death.
22 But now, having been made free from sin, and having become servants to God, you have your fruit to
sanctification, and the end, life eternal.
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gracious gift of God is life eternal in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 7
1 Know you not, brethren, for I speak to those that know law, that the law has dominion over the man as
long as he lives?
2 For the married woman is bound by the law to the living husband; but if the husband shall have died,
she is loosed from the law of the husband.
3 So then, if, while her husband lives, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress;
but if her husband shall have died, she is free from his law, so that she is not an adulteress, though she be
married to another man.
4 So then, my brethren, you also became dead to the law through the body of Christ, in order that you
should be married to another, him that was raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit to God.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins which were through the law wrought in our
members to bring forth fruit to death;
6 but now we have been delivered from the law, having died to that in which we were held, so that we
serve in newness of spirit and not in oldness of letter.
7 What, then, shall we say? Is the law sin? Let it not be; but I had not known sin except through law; for
I had not known desire unless the law had said: Thou shalt not desire.
8 But sin, taking occasion, through the commandment wrought in me all manner of desire; for without
law sin is dead.
9 Now, I was alive without law once; but when the commandment came, sin became alive,
10 and I died; and the commandment which was for life, this was found by me to be for death.
11 For sin, taking occasion, through the commandment deceived me, and through it slew me.
12 So, then, the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.
13 Did, then, that which is good become death to me? Let it not be; but sin, that it might appear sin,
working out death to me through that which is good, that sin through the commandment might become
exceedingly sinful.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am flesh, sold under sin.
15 For what I work I know not; for I practice not what I wish, but what I hate this I do.
16 But if I do this that I wish not, I agree with the law that it is good;
17 and now I no longer do it, but sin that dwells in me.
18 For I know that there dwells in me, that is, in my flesh, no good. For to will is present with me, but to
work out the beautiful, not;
19 for the good that I wish I do not, but the evil that I hate, this I practice.
20 But if I do this that I wish not, I no longer do it, but sin that dwells in me.
21 I find, then, the law, to me wishing to do the good, That evil is present with me;
22 for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,
23 but I see a different law in my members warring against the law of my mind, and making me a
captive in the law of sin that is in my members.
24 Wretched man that I am: who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25 Thanks to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord: so, then, I myself with the mind indeed serve the law
of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
Romans 8
1 There is, therefore, now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made thee free from the law of sin and of death.
3 For what the law could not do, because it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the
likeness of the flesh of sin, and on account of sin, condemned sin in the flesh,
4 that the righteous demand of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but
