- 18
- But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.

- 33
- They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
- 34
- Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
- 35
- And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
- 36

- 18
- For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
- 19
- Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
- 20
- For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
- 21
- Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
- 22
- Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
- 23

- 25
- Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

- 30
- Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
- 31
- Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

- 12
- Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
- 13
- Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
- 14
- For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
- 15
- What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
- 16
- Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
- 17

Romans 7:1-25
- 1
- Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that 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 we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
- 6
- But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
- 7
- What shall we 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
- Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
- 14
- For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
- 15
- For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
- 16
- If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
- 17
- Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
- 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.
- 19
- For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
- 20
- Now if I do that 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 would do good, evil is present with me.
- 22
- For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
- 23
- But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
- 24
- O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
- 25
- I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
