    4So yee, my brethren, are dead also to the Law by ye body of Christ, that ye should be vnto an other, euen vnto him that is raised vp from the dead, that we should bring foorth fruite vnto God.

    5For when we were in ye flesh, the affections of sinnes, which were by the Law, had force in our members, to bring foorth fruit vnto death.

    6But now we are deliuered from the Lawe, he being dead in whom we were holden, that we should serue in newnesse of Spirite, and not in the oldnesse of the letter.

    7What shall we say then? Is the Lawe sinne? God forbid. Nay, I knewe not sinne, but by the Lawe: for I had not knowen lust, except the Lawe had sayd, Thou shalt not lust.

    8But sinne tooke an occasion by ye commandement, and wrought in me all maner of concupiscence: for without the Lawe sinne is dead.

    9For I once was aliue, wtout the Law: but when the commandement came, sinne reuiued,

    10But I died: and the same commandement which was ordeined vnto life, was found to be vnto me vnto death.

    11For sinne tooke occasion by the commandement, and deceiued me, and thereby slewe me.

    12Wherefore the Lawe is holy, and that commandement is holy, and iust, and good.

    13Was that then which is good, made death vnto me? God forbid: but sinne, that it might appeare sinne, wrought death in me by that which is good, that sinne might be out of measure sinfull by the commandement.

    14For we knowe that the Law is spirituall, but I am carnall, solde vnder sinne.

    15For I alow not that which I do: for what I would, that do I not: but what I hate, that do I.

    16If I doe then that which I woulde not, I consent to the Lawe, that it is good.

    17Nowe then, it is no more I, that doe it, but sinne that dwelleth in me.

    18For I know, that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to wil is preset with me: but I find no meanes to perform that which is good.

    19For I doe not the good thing, which I would, but the euil, which I would not, that do I.

    20Nowe if I do that I would not, it is no more I that doe it, but the sinne that dwelleth in me.

    21I finde then that when I would doe good, I am thus yoked, that euill is present with me.

    22For I delite in the Law of God, concerning the inner man:

    1Now then there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Iesus, which walke not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

    2For the Lawe of the Spirite of life, which is in Christ Iesus, hath freed mee from the lawe of sinne and of death.

    3For (that that was impossible to ye Lawe, in as much as it was weake, because of ye flesh) God sending his owne Sonne, in ye similitude of sinful flesh, & for sinne, condened sinne in the flesh,

    4That that righteousnes of the Law might be fulfilled in vs, which walke not after ye flesh, but after the Spirit.

    5For they that are after the flesh, sauour the things of the flesh: but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

    6For the wisedome of the flesh is death: but the wisedome of the Spirit is life and peace,

    7Because the wisedome of the flesh is enimitie against God: for it is not subiect to the Lawe of God, neither in deede can be.

    8So then they that are in the flesh, can not please God.
