6:12Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

6:13Neither 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.

6:14For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

6:15What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

6:16Know 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?

6:17But 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.

7:5For 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.

7:6But 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.

7:7What 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.

7:8But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.

7:9For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

7:10And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.

7:11For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

7:12Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

7:13Was 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.

7:14For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

7:15For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

7:16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

7:17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

7:18For 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.

7:19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

7:20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

7:21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

7:22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

7:23But 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.

7:24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
