But God has made clear His love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave His life for us.

What may we say, then?

Are we to go on in sin so that there may be more grace?

IN NO WAY!!

How may we, who are dead to sin, be living in it any more?

Being conscious that our old man was put to death on the cross with Him, so that the body of sin might be put away, and we might no longer be servants to sin. Because he who is dead is free from sin. For his death was a death to sin, but his life now is a life which he is living to God.

For sin may not have rule over you, because you are not under law, but under grace.

What then? Are we to go on in sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be so.

Are you not conscious that you are the servants of him to whom you give yourselves to do his desire; if to sin, the end being death, or if to do the desire of God, the end being righteousness?

For the reward of sin is death, but what God freely gives is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

What then is to be said? Is the law sin?

IN NO WAY!!

But I would not have had knowledge of sin but for the law. For I would not have been conscious of desire if the law had not said, You may not have a desire for what is another’s.

Because without the law sin is dead. And there was a time when I was living without the law, but when the law gave its orders, sin came to life and put me to death. For I was tricked and put to death by sin, which took its chance through the law.

But the law is holy, upright and good.

Was then that which is good, death to me?

IN NO WAY!!

But the purpose was that sin might be seen to be sin by working death to me through that which is good.

For we are conscious that the law is of the spirit, but I am of the flesh, given into the power of sin.

I have the mind but not the power to do what is right, but the evil which I have no mind to do, that I do. But if I do what I have no mind to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

In my heart I take pleasure in the law of God, but I see another law in my body, working against the law of my mind, and making me the servant of the law of sin which is in my flesh.

I give praise to God trough Jesus Christ our Lord. So with my mind I am a servant to the law of God, but with my flesh to the law of sin.

For this cause those who are in Christ Jesus will not be judged as sinners. For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

You are not in the flesh but in the spirit, if the spirit of God is in you. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because of righteousness.

For if you go in the way of the flesh, death will come on you, but if by the spirit you put to death the works of the body, you will have life. The Spirit is witness with our spirit that we are children of God.

What may we say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

He who did not keep back his only Son, but gave him up for us all, will he not with him freely give us all things?

Who will say anything against the saints of God? It is God who makes us clear from evil.

Who will give a decision against us? It is Christ Jesus who not only was put to death, but came again from the dead, who is now at the right hand of God, taking our part.

Who will come between us and the love of Christ?

For I am certain that not death, or life, or angels, or rulers, or things present, or things to come, or powers, or things on high, or things under the earth, or anything which is made, will be able to come between us and the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
