   11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but   
   alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.   
      
   12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey   
   it in the lusts thereof.   
      
   13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto   
   sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the   
   dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.   
      
   14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the   
   law, but under grace.   
      
   15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under   
   grace? God forbid.   
      
   16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his   
   servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of   
   obedience unto righteousness?   
      
   17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have   
   obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.   
      
   18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.   
      
   19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your   
   flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and   
   to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to   
   righteousness unto holiness.   
      
   20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.   
      
   21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed?   
   for the end of those things is death.   
      
   22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have   
   your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.   
      
   23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life   
   through Jesus Christ our Lord.   
      
   Romans Chapter 7   
      
   1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how   
   that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?   
      
   2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband   
   so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the   
   law of her husband.   
      
   3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man,   
   she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is   
   free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married   
   to another man.   
      
   4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body   
   of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is   
   raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.   
      
   5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the   
   law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.   
      
   6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were   
   held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness   
   of the letter.   
      
   7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not   
   known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had   
   said, Thou shalt not covet.   
      
   8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner   
   of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.   
      
   9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came,   
   sin revived, and I died.   
      
   10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto   
   death.   
      
   11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it   
   slew me.   
      
   12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.   
      
   13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin,   
   that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good;   
   that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.   
      
   14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.   
      
   15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but   
   what I hate, that do I.   
      
   16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it   
   is good.   
      
   17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.   
      
   18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing:   
   for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I   
   find not.   
      
   19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not,   
   that I do.   
      
   20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin   
   that dwelleth in me.   
      
   21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.   
      
   22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:   
      
   23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my   
   mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my   
   members.   
      
   24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this   
   death?   
      
   25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I   
   myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
