for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;

for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do.

for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find,

for the good that I will, I do not; but the evil that I do not will, this I practise.

for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,

for the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus did set me free from the law of the sin and of the death;

for what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the sin in the flesh,

For those who are according to the flesh, the things of the flesh do mind; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit;

for the mind of the flesh [is] death, and the mind of the Spirit -- life and peace;

because the mind of the flesh [is] enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself,

for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.

for if according to the flesh ye do live, ye are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body ye put to death, ye shall live;

for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God;

for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, `Abba -- Father.'

For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time [are] not worthy [to be compared] with the glory about to be revealed in us;

for the earnest looking out of the creation doth expect the revelation of the sons of God;

for to vanity was the creation made subject -- not of its will, but because of Him who did subject [it] -- in hope,

for we have known that all the creation doth groan together, and doth travail in pain together till now.

for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what any one doth behold, why also doth he hope for [it]?

and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect [it].
