For while we were in the flesh, the affections of sin, which are against [fn] the law, wrought powerfully in our members to yield fruits unto death;

What then, say we the law is sin ? Not so. But sin I had not learned (to know) but by the law: for I had not known concupiscence (to be sinful), but (by) the law, which hath said, Thou shalt not covet.

And by this commandment sin found for itself an occasion, and completed in me all concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.

For they who by the Spirit of Aloha are led, they are the sons of Aloha.

For we have not received the spirit of servitude again unto fear, but we have received the Spirit of the adoption [fn] of sons, by whom we cry, Father, our Father!

And if sons, heirs also; heirs of Aloha, and the sons of the inheritance of Jeshu Meshiha. For if we suffer with him, with him also shall we be glorified.

For I consider that the sufferings of this time are not equal to that glory which is to be revealed in us.

For the whole creation hopeth and waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of Aloha.

For the creation hath been subjected to vanity, not willingly, [fn] but on account of him who subjected her, upon the hope
