For what the law could not doe, in that it was weake through the flesh, God sending his owne Sonne, in the likenesse of sinnefull flesh, and for sinne condemned sinne in the flesh:

Because the carnall minde is enmitie against God: for it is not subiect to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

So then they that are in the flesh, cannot please God.

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 haue not the spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

For as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sonnes of God.

The spirit it selfe beareth witnes with our spirit, that we are the children of God.

And if children, then heires, heires of God, and ioynt heires with Christ: if so be that we suffer with him, that wee may be also glorified together.

For the earnest expectation of the creature, waiteth for the manifestation of the sonnes of God.

Because the creature it selfe also shall bee deliuered from the bondage of corruption, into the glorious libertie of the children of God.

And he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what is the minde of the spirit, because he maketh intercession for the Saints, according to the will of God.

And wee know that all things worke together for good, to them that loue God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

What shall wee then say to these things? If God be for vs, who can bee against vs?

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect? It is God that iustifieth:

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather that is risen againe, who is euen at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for vs.

Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shalbe able to separate vs from the loue of God, which is in Christ Iesus our Lord.

Who are Israelites: to whom perteineth the adoption, and the glory, and the couenants, and the giuing of the Law, and the seruice of God, and the promises:

Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is ouer all, God blessed for euer, Amen.

Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel which are of Israel:

That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

(For the children being not yet borne, neither hauing done any good or euil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of workes, but of him that calleth.)
