But *now*, having got your freedom from sin, and having become bondmen to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end eternal life.

For the wages of sin [is] death; but the act of favour of God, eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

So that, my brethren, *ye* also have been made dead to the law by the body of the Christ, to be to another, who has been raised up from among [the] dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.

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* with the mind serve God's law; but with the flesh sin's law.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, having sent his own Son, in likeness of flesh of sin, and for sin, has condemned sin in the flesh,

Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God; for neither indeed can it be:

and they that are in flesh cannot please God.

for as many as are led by [the] Spirit of God, *these* are sons of God.

The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God.

And if children, heirs also: heirs of God, and Christ's joint heirs; if indeed we suffer with [him], that we may also be glorified with [him].

For the anxious looking out of the creature expects the revelation of the sons of God:

that the creature itself also shall be set free from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

But he who searches the hearts knows what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for saints according to God.

But we *do* know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to purpose.

What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who against us?

Who shall bring an accusation against God's elect? [It is] God who justifies:

who is he that condemns? [It is] Christ who has died, but rather has been [also] raised up; who is also at the right hand of God; who also intercedes for us.

nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord.

whose [are] the fathers; and of whom, as according to flesh, [is] the Christ, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
