For, he that hath died, hath become righteously acquitted from his sin.

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

For, sin, over you, shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under favour.

Know ye not that, unto whom ye are presenting yourselves as servants for obedience, servants ye are unto him unto whom ye are obedient, whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness?

In human fashion am I speaking, because of the weakness of your flesh; - for, just as ye presented your members as servants unto impurity and unto lawlessness for lawlessness, so now, present ye your members as servants unto righteousness for sanctification.

For, when ye were servants of sin, ye were free as to righteousness; -

What fruit, therefore, had ye then - in things for which ye now are taking shame to yourselves? For, the end of those things, is death.

Whereas, now, having been freed from sin, and made servants unto God, ye have your fruit for sanctification and, the end, life age-abiding.

For, the wages of sin, is death; but, God's gift of favour, is life age-abiding, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

What, then, shall we say? Is the law sin? Far be it! On the contrary, I had not discovered, sin, save through law, for even, of coveting, I had not been aware if, the law, had not kept on saying - Thou shall not covet;

Howbeit sin taking, occasion - through the commandment, wrought out in me all manner of coveting; for, apart from law, sin is dead; -

For, sin, - taking occasion - through the commandment, completely deceived me and, through it, slew me:

For we know that, the law, is spiritual, - I, however, am a creature of flesh, sold under sin;

For, that which I am working out, I do not approve, - for not, what I wish, the same I practise, but, what I hate, the same I do:

I know, in fact, that there dwelleth not in me, that is, in my flesh, anything good; for, the wishing, lieth near me, but, the working out of what is right, not!

For not, the good that I wish, I do, but, the evil that I do not wish, the same I practise.

For, the-law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus, hath set thee free from the law of sin and of death; -
