And sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? Far be it.

But thanks be to God, that ye were [fn] the servants of sin but have [fn] from the heart obeyed that form of doctrine to which ye are devoted.

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

Just as a woman, by the law, is bound to her husband, as long as he is alive: but if her husband should die, she is freed from the law of her husband.

And if, while her husband is alive, she should adhere to another man, she would become an adulteress: but if her husband should die, she is freed from the law; and would not be an adulteress though joined to another man.

But now we are absolved from the law, and are dead to that which held us in its grasp: that we might henceforth serve in the newness of the spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

And I, without the law, was alive formerly; but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died;

For we know, that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, and sold to sin.

For what I am doing, I know not: and what I would, I do not perform; but what I hate, that I do.

And then, it is no more I who do that thing; but sin, which dwelleth in me.

For I know, that in me, (that is, in my flesh,) good dwelleth not: because, to approve the good, is easy for me; but to do it, I am unable.

For I do not perform the good, which I would perform; but the bad, which I would not perform, that I do perform.

And if I do what I would not, it is not I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me.

But I see another law in my members, which warreth against the law of my conscience, and maketh me a captive to the law of sin which existeth in my members

25 I thank God; by means of our Lord Jesus Messiah [fn] Now, therefore, in my conscience, I am a servant of the law of God; but in my flesh, I am a servant of the law of sin.

so that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us; since it is not in the flesh that we walk, but in the Spirit.

For minding the things of the flesh, is death; but minding the things of the Spirit, is life and peace.

Ye, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit; if the Spirit of God truly dwelleth in you. And if in any one there is not the Spirit of Messiah he is none of his.
