Paul, a SERVANT OF JESUS Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, Which He had promised afore by his prophets in the Holy scriptures, Concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And DECLAREDTO BE THE SON OF GOD WITH POWER, ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT OF HOLINESS , by the resurrection from the dead: By whom WE have received *GRACE and apostleship, FOR OBEDIENCE TO THE FAITH AMONG ALL NATIONS, for HIS NAME: Among WHOM ARE YE ALSO THE CALLED OF JESUS Christ:
For BY *GRACE are ye saved THROUGH FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, LEST any man should boast. For WE ARE his workmanship, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS unto GOOD WORKS, which God hath before ORDAINED THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM.
For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if ONE DIED FOR ALL, then were ALL DEAD: And that he died for all, that they which live should NOT HENCEFORTH LIVE UNTO THEMSELVES, but UNTO HIM which DIED FOR THEM, and ROSE AGAIN.
Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the FLESH: yea, though we have known Christ after the FLESH, yet now henceforth know we him no more. Therefore IF ANY MAN BE IN CHRIST, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things ARE PASSED AWAY; behold, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW.'
What shall we say then? SHALL WE CONTINUE IN SIN, that grace may abound? GOD FORBID! How shall we, that are DEAD TO SIN, live ANY LONGER therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were BAPTIZED INTO HIS DEATH? Therefore we are buried with him BY BAPTISM INTO DEATH: THAT LIKE AS Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, EVENSO WE ALSO SHOULD WALK in newness of life.....KNOWING THIS, that OUR OLD MAN IS CRUCIFIED WITH HIM, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should NOT SERVE SIN. For he that is dead is FREED FROM SIN.
For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he LIVETH UNTO GOD. Likewise RECKON YE ALSO YOURSELVES TO BE DEAD INDEED UNTO SIN, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. LET NOT SIN THEREFORE REING IN YOUR MORTAL BODY, THAT YE SHOULD OBEY IT in the lusts thereof. NEITHER YIELD YE your members as instruments of unrighteousness UNTO SIN: but YEILD YOURSELVES UNTO GOD, AS THOSE that are alive from the dead, and your members AS INSTRUMENTS of righteousness UNTO GOD. For SIN SHALL NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER YOU: for ye are not under the law, but under grace."
What then? SHALL WE SIN, BECAUSE WE ARE not under the law, but UNDER GRACE? GOD FORBID! 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? 17But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but YE HAVE OBEYED FROM THE HEART that form of DOCTRINE which was DELIVERED TO YOU. Being then made FREE FROM SIN, YE BECAME THE SERVANTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.
BE NOT DECIEVED; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit REAP LIFE EVERLASTING. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, IF WE FAINT NOT.
Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. FOR WE MUST ALL APPEAR before the judgment seat of Christ; that EVERYONE MAY RECEIVE the things DONE in his body, ACCORDING TO that he hath DONE, whether it be GOOD OR BAD. Knowing therefore the TERROR OF THE LORD, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared TO ALL MEN, Teaching us that, DENYING ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, RIGHTEOUSLY, and GODLY, IN THE PRESENT WORLD; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself FOR US, that he might REDEEM US FROM ALL INIQUITY, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, ZEALOUS OF GOOD WORKS.
MORTIFY THEREFORE your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE: In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. BUT NOW YE ALSO PUT OFF ALL THESE; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off THE OLD MAN WITH HIS DEEDS; And have put on the new man, which is RENEWED IN KNOWLEDGE after the IMAGE OF HIM THAT CREATED him: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is ALL, and IN ALL.
To Him Be glory forever and ever, Amen !
