Romans 6

1  What shall I say then? Shall I continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2  God forbid. How shall I, that is dead to sin, live any longer therein?

3  Know not, that I was baptized into Jesus Christ and was baptized into his death?

4  Therefore I am buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so shall I also walk in newness of life as a son of God.

5  For if I have been planted together in the likeness of his death, I shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection walking and living as an eternal son of God doing what Christ hath done:

6  Knowing this, that my old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin, sickness and death might be destroyed, that henceforth I should not serve sin nor have it reign over me.

7  For I am dead and I am freed from sin and sickness in this life, and the next.

8  Now if I be dead with Christ, I believe that I shall also live as him:

9  Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death and sickness hath no more dominion over him and he is in me and I in him.

10  For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God yet am I dead in Christ that he may live in me.

11  Likewise I reckon also to be dead indeed unto sin, sickness and death, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ my Lord.

12  I let not sin or the results therefore reign in my mortal body, that I should obey it in the lusts thereof.

13  Neither do I yield my members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but I yield them unto God, because Christ is alive in me and he is no longer dead, and my members as instruments of righteousness unto God or I am a son of God who is alive and Christ walks and talks and proclaim healing and salvation to all, for he is in me, that is why he rose again.

14  For sin shall not have dominion over me: for I am not under the law, but under grace and I deliver healing to all.

15  What then? shall I sin, because I am not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

16  I know, that to whom I yield myself to. is a servant to whom I obey, and a servant I am to whom I obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto God, walking as Christ and I have his righteousness now?

17  But God be thanked, that I was the servant of sin, but I have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered to me to walk as a son of God even as Christ for he now walks in and through me.

18  Being then made free from sin, I became the servant of God with Christ righteousness.

19  I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of my flesh: for as I have yielded my members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now do I yield my members servants to righteousness unto holiness by laying on of my hands as Christ has commanded me to deliver healing and by the Kingdom of God that works in Christ who is ever with me.

20  For when I was the servant of sin, I was free from righteousness.

21  What fruit did I have in those things whereof I am now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

22  But now being made free from sin, and I become a servant to God, I have fruit unto holiness, and in the end everlasting life.

23  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life and restoration through Jesus Christ my Lord.

Romans 7

1  I know that, (for I speak to them that know the law,) 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 I was in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in my members to bring forth fruit unto death.

6  But now I am delivered from the law, that being dead wherein I was held; that I should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

7  What shall I 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  Why was then that which is good, the law, did it bring death to me? God forbid that I should die because of the law. But when I looked at my sin, that it might appear as sin when I see it compared to the law, then it started working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful to me.

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

15  For that which I do, the law says that I should not allow: for what I would do, the things that are right, that I do not; but what I hate to do, now that I know the law, that do I.

16  If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. And the things Christ said is good and righteous and pure.

17  Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me telling me what to do and not to do.

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. Yet I know what Christ did and I know he lives in me and I want to live the life Christ did.

19  For the good that I would, which is to live like Christ, I do not: but the evil one whispers to me to do that which I would not or tells me it is not so, that is what I end up doing.

20  Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For when I accepted Christ I have become as Adam to choose the good or the evil now.

21  I find then the law, that, when I would do the good, which is to heal and preach as Christ, who lives in me, evil is present with me, in my soul or mind.

22  For I delight in the law of God, to be like Christ, after the spirit man:

23  But I see another law in my body, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my body.

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

25  I thank God I live through Jesus Christ my Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God, which is to be like Christ; but with my flesh I bring it unto the law of my sprit, which is to have Christ in me, to heal the sick and raise the dead and preach the kingdom of God again, through me.

Romans 8

1  There is now no condemnation because I am in Christ Jesus and Christ Jesus is in me, to walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit and that Spirit lives as Christ lived.

2  For the law of the Spirit is to bring life to all by Christ Jesus, who is in me, and Christ hath set me free from the law of sin and from sickness and death.

3  For what the law could not do, in that it was weak, because it only brought life to oneself, through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in his flesh: that he might live in me again in my flesh.

4  That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in me, who walk not after the flesh, which is by my senses, but after the Spirit, which I now walk by faith.

5  For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh and are moved by their carnal ideas; but they that are after the Spirit walk by the things that the Spirit knows to be true.

6  For to be carnally minded brings death; but to be spiritually minded brings life to the lost and brings the sinners peace that he might turn to the living God through repentance and love.

7  Because the carnal mind is at war with God: for it is not subject to the law that God requires, neither indeed can it do what God requires.

8  So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. Neither do those who walk by sight and do not walk by faith, which is pleasing to the Lord.

9  But I am not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in me. Now if I have not the Spirit of Christ, I am none of his and still in my sin.

10  And if Christ be in me, the body is dead because Christ died for my sin; but the Spirit has his life in me to deliver Christ to the world, because I am righteous in Christ.

11  But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in me, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also be able to quicken your mortal bodies, who the enemy attacked through sickness and death, by his Spirit that dwelleth in me, which is Christ.

12  Therefore, brethren, I am debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

13  For if I live after the flesh, I shall die: but if I through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, I shall live.

14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God and sons of God are walking this earth doing, even the very things that Christ has done.

15  For I have not received the spirit of bondage again, which is fear; but I have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby I cry, Abba, Father.

16  The Spirit itself beareth witness with my spirit, that I am a child of God:

17  And if a child, then I am the heir; heir of God, and joint-heirs with Christ and now all that Christ is, I am; if so be that I suffer like he did in the hands of religious people, that I may be also glorified together with him.

18  For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

19  For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God which I am.

20  For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

21  Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

22  For I know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

23  And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even I groan within myself, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of my body.

24  For I am saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what I seeth, why doth I yet hope for it?

25  But if I hope for that I see not, then do I with patience wait for it, knowing God will bring it to pass.

26  Likewise the Spirit also helpeth my infirmities: for I know not what I should pray for as I ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession through me with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27  And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

28  And I know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called and walk according to his purpose.

29  For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that I might look like his dearly beloved Son also, that Christ might be the firstborn among many brethren when he died.

30  Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

31  What shall I then say to these things? If God be for me, who is against me?

32  He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? for I now have Christ and I now can live as Christ again even as he lived.

33  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

34  Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for me.

35  Who shall separate me from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36  As it is written, For thy sake I am killed all the day long; I am accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37  Nay, in all these things I am more than conquerors through him that loved me.

38  For I am persuaded, that neither death, life, angels, principalities, powers, things present, things to come,

39  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate me from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus my Lord.
