And hope shameth us not, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

But God recommendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more being reconciled, we shall be saved through his life.

And not only so, but we also glory in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Yet not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if by the offence of one many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, that of one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

God forbid. How shall we who are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

For in that he died, he died to sin once for all; but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

So reckon ye also yourselves to be dead to sin, and alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Neither present your members to sin, as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members to God, as instruments of righteousness.

What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were the servants of sin, ye have now obeyed from the heart the form of doctrine into which ye have been delivered.

But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

For death is the wages of sin; but eternal life is the gift of God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Thus ye also, my brethren, are dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye might be married to another, even to him who was raised from the dead, that we may bring forth fruit to God.

What shall we say then? That the law is sin? God forbid. Yea, I should not have known sin, but for the law. I had not known lust, unless the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

Was then that which is good made death to me? God forbid: But sin: so that it appeared sin, working death in me by that which is good: so that sin might by the commandment become exceeding sinful.

For I delight in the law of God, after the inward man.

Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself with my mind serve the law of God, but with my flesh the law of sin.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God hath done: sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, to be a sacrifice for sin, he hath condemned sin in the flesh:

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
