But the law came in between, that the offence might abound: yet where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

For in that he died, he died to sin once for all; but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

Neither present your members to sin, as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members to God, as instruments of righteousness.

For 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? God forbid.

But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were the servants of sin, ye have now obeyed from the heart the form of doctrine into which ye have been delivered.

But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

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

For the married woman is bound to her husband while he is alive; but if her husband be dead, she is freed from the law of her husband.

Therefore if she marry another man while her husband liveth, she will be called an adultress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law, so as to be no adultress, though she marry another man.

But now we are freed from the law, that whereby we were held being dead, so that we serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

What shall we say then? That the law is sin? God forbid. Yea, I should not have known sin, but for the law. I had not known lust, unless the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

But sin taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of desire: for without the law sin was dead.

And I was once alive without the law; but when the commandment came,

Was then that which is good made death to me? God forbid: But sin: so that it appeared sin, working death in me by that which is good: so that sin might by the commandment become exceeding sinful.

We know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.

For that which I do I approve not; for what I would, I do not, but what I hate, that I do.

Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

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 what is good, I find not.

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