  • Matt 5:21-26 : 21 You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder,’ and whoever murders will be subject to judgment. 22 But I say to you, everyone who is angry with their brother without cause will be subject to judgment. Whoever says to their brother, ‘Raka!’ will be answerable to the council, and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell. 23 So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift. 25 Settle matters quickly with your adversary while you are on the way to court. Otherwise, your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

    3Consequently, while her husband is still alive, she would be called an adulteress if she joins herself to another man; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so she would not be an adulteress by becoming another man’s wife.

    4Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another—to Him who was raised from the dead—in order that we might bear fruit for God.

    5For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, bearing fruit for death.

    6But now we have been released from the law, having died to what once bound us, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.

    7What shall we say then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, 'You shall not covet.'

    8But sin, seizing the opportunity provided by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.

    10I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.

    11For sin, seizing the opportunity provided by the commandment, deceived me and through the commandment put me to death.

    12So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.

    13Did what is good then become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, in order to be recognized as sin, used what is good to bring about my death, so that sin might become utterly sinful through the commandment.

    14For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.

    15For I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do, but what I hate, I do.

    16And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.

    17As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.

    18For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.

    19For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.

    20Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

    21So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me.

    22For in my inner being I delight in God’s law;

    23but I see another law at work in my members, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members.

    24What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?

    25Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

    18For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker.

    19For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ.

    20I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

    21I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could come through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
