that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
14
For we know that the law is
spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15
For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that
do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16
If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law
that
it is
good.
17
Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
18
For I know that
in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but
how
to
perform that which is good I find not.
19
For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I
would not, that I do.
20
Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth
in me.
21
I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22
For I delight in
the law of God after the inward man:
23
But I see another law in my members, 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 the body of this death?
25
I thank God through
Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the
law of sin.
CHAPTER 8
There is
therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the
flesh, but after the Spirit.
2
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath 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 sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after
the Spirit.
5
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after
the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6
For to be carnally minded
is
death; but to be spiritually minded
is
life and peace.
7
Because the carnal mind
is
enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law
of God, neither indeed can be.
8
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9
But ye are
not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have
not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10
And if Christ
be
in you, the body
is
dead because of
sin; but the Spirit
is
life because of righteousness.
11
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus
from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal
bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13
For if ye live
after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall
live.
14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15
For ye have not
received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby
we cry, Abba, Father.
16
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children
of God:
17
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we
suffer with
him,
that we may be also glorified together.
