But now are ye delivered from synne and made the servauntes of God and have youre frute that ye shuld be sanctifyed and the ende everlastinge lyfe.

For the rewarde of synne is deeth: but eternall lyfe is the gyfte of God thorow Iesus Christ oure Lorde.

So then yf whill the man liveth she couple her selfe with another man she shalbe counted a wedlocke breaker. But yf the man be deed she is fre fro the lawe: so that she is no wedlocke breaker though she couple her selfe with another man.

But now are we delivered fro the lawe and deed fro that whervnto we werein bondage that we shuld serve in a newe conversacion of ye sprete and not in ye olde conversacion of the letter.

What shall we saye then? is ye lawe synne? God forbid: but I knewe not what synne meant but by the lawe. For I had not knowne what lust had meant excepte the lawe had sayde thou shalt not lust.

But synne toke an occasion by the meanes of the commaundement and wrought in me all manner of concupiscece. For with out the lawe synne was deed.

I once lived with out lawe. But when the commaundement came synne revyved and I was deed.

For we knowe that the lawe is spirituall: but I am carnall solde vnder synne

because I wote not what I doo. For what I wold that do I not: but what I hate that do I.

So then nowe it is not I that do it but synne that dwelleth in me.

For I knowe that in me (that is to saye in my flesshe) dwelleth no good thinge. To will is present with me: but I fynde no meanes to performe that which is good.

For I doo not yt good thinge which I wold: but that evill do I which I wolde not.

Finally yf I do that I wolde not then is it not I that doo it but synne that dwelleth in me doeth it.

But I se another lawe in my membres rebellinge agaynst the lawe of my mynde and subduynge me vnto the lawe of synne which is in my membres.

Ther is then no damnacion to them which are in Christ Iesu which walke not after ye flesshe: but after ye sprete.

that the rightewesnes requyred of the lawe myght be fulfilled in vs which walke not after the flesshe but after the sprete.

For they that are carnall are carnally mynded. But they that are spirituall are gostly mynded.

To be carnally mynded is deeth. But to be spiritually mynded is lyfe and peace.

But ye are not geven to the flesshe but to the sprete: yf so be that ye sprite of God dwell in you. If ther be eny man yt hath not ye sprite of Christ ye same is none of his.

Yf Christ be in you the body is deed because of synne: but the sprite is lyfe for rightewesnes sake.
