So that, my brothers, you also were made dead to the Law through the body of Christ, for you to become Another's, to the One raised from the dead, so that we may 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 truly serve the Law of God, and with the flesh the law of sin.

For the Law being powerless, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,

because the mind of the flesh is enmity towards God; for it is not being subjected to the Law of God, for neither can it be .

And those being in the flesh are not able to please God.

But you are not in flesh, but in Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone has not the Spirit of Christ, this one is not His.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God.

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

For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly awaits the revelation of the sons of God.

that also the creation will be freed from the slavery of corruption to the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

But the One searching the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He petitions on behalf of the saints according to God.

But we know that to the ones loving God all things work together for good, to those being called according to purpose;

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

Who will bring any charge against God's elect? God is the One justifying!

Who is he condemning? It is Christ who has died, but rather also is raised, who also is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession on our behalf.

nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to flesh, He being God over all, blessed forever. Amen.

That is: Not the children of flesh are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted for a seed.
