For vntill the Law sinne was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no Law.

But not as the offence, so also is the free gift: for if through the offence of one, many bee dead: much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man Iesus Christ, hath abounded vnto many.

And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the iudgement was by one to condemnation: but the free gift is of many offences vnto iustification.

Moreouer, the Lawe entred, that the offence might abound: but where sinne abounded, grace did much more abound.

For in that he dyed, he dyed vnto sinne once: but in that hee liueth, hee liueth vnto God.

Likewise reckon yee also your selues to be dead indeed vnto sinne: but aliue vnto God, through Iesus Christ our Lord.

Neither yeeld yee your members as instruments of vnrighteousnes vnto sinne: but yeelde your selues vnto God, as those that are aliue from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousnesse vnto God.

For sinne shall not haue dominion ouer you, for yee are not vnder the Law, but vnder Grace.

What then? shal we sinne, because wee are not vnder the Law, but vnder Grace? God forbid.

But God bee thanked, that yee were the seruants of sinne: but ye haue obeyed from the heart that fourme of doctrine, which was deliuered you.

But now being made free from sinne, and become seruants to God, yee haue your fruit vnto holinesse, and the end euerlasting life.

For the wages of sinne is death: but the gift of God is eternall life, through Iesus Christ our Lord.

For the woman which hath an husbaud, is bound by the law to her husband, so long as he liueth: but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of the husband.

So then if while her husband liueth, shee be married to another man, shee shalbe called an adulteresse: but if her husband be dead, shee is free from that law, so that she is no adulteresse, though she be married to another man.

But now wee are deliuered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held, that we should serue in newnesse of spirit, and not in the oldnesse of the letter.

What shall wee say then? is the law sinne? God forbid. Nay, I had not knowen sinne, but by the lawe: for I had not knowen lust, except the Law had said, Thou shalt not couet.

But sinne taking occasion by the commaundement, wrought in me all maner of concupiscence. For without the Law sinne was dead.

For I was aliue without the Law once, but when the commandement came, sinne reuiued, and I died.

Was that then which is good, made death vnto me? God forbid. But sinne, that it might appeare sinne, working death in mee by that which is good: that sinne by the Commaundement might become exceeding sinfull.

For wee know that the Law is spirituall: but I am carnall, sold vnder sinne.
