(13)Did then that which is good become fatal to me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin by that which was good _in itself_, was the cause of death to me; that sin through the commandment might become transcendantly sinful. (14)For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am fleshly, sold under sin. (15)For that which I am doing I approve not: for not the thing which I wish, that do I practise; but the very thing I hate, that I do. (16)But if what I would not, that I do, I concur with the law that it is excellent. (17)Now then no more I do this, but sin dwelling in me. (18)For I know that there dwelleth not in me (that is, in my flesh) any good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. (19)For I do not the good which I wish: but the evil which I would not, that I do. (20)If then I do that which 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 wish to do good, evil is presented to me. (22)For I am delighted with the law of God, as respecting the inward man: (23)but I see another law in my members, militating against the law in my mind, and making me captive to the law of sin which is in my members. (24)O wretched man, I! who shall pluck me from the body of this death? (25)I give thanks to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Well then, I myself with my mind am servant to the law of God; but in my flesh to the law of sin. CHAP. VIII. THERE is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (2)For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath liberated me from the law of sin and of death. (3)For that which was impossible by the law, inasmuch as it was impotent through the flesh, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in that flesh: (4)that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled by us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (5)For they who are after the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; but they who are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. (6)For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. (7)Because the propensity of the flesh is inimical against God: for it is not in subjection to the law of God, neither indeed can it be. (8)They then who are in the flesh, cannot please God. (9)But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his. (10)But if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead on account of sin; but the Spirit is alive through righteousness. (11)But if the Spirit of him who hath raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he who raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his indwelling Spirit in you. (12)Truly then we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
