¹⁵ What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.

¹¹ For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

¹² instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world;

¹³ looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.

¹ What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

² God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?

⁸ for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, `it is' the gift of God;

⁹ not of works, that no man should glory.

¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.

⁹ What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin;

²⁰ And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, not being myself under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;

²¹ to them that are without law, as without law, not being without law to God, but under law to Christ, that I might gain them that are without law.

¹ Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

¹⁷ But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a minister of sin? God forbid.

¹⁸ For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor.

⁴ For there are certain men crept in privily, `even' they who were of old written of beforehand unto this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
