¹ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, `which is' your spiritual service.

² And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, and ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

³ For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith.

³⁶ If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

¹³ He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper: But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, `then' are ye truly my disciples;

³² and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

³³ They answered unto him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

¹³ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men.

¹¹ For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God.

¹² So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God.

¹³ Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge ye this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock in his brother's way, or an occasion of falling.

¹³ And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil `one.'

¹ For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.

¹² All things are lawful for me; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful for me; but I will not be brought under the power of any.

¹⁸ And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit;

²¹ envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

²³ meekness, self-control; against such there is no law.

²⁴ And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.

¹³ There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it.

² that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

³ For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatries:

⁴ wherein they think strange that ye run not with `them' into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of `of':

⁵ who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead.

⁶ For unto this end was the gospel preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

⁷ But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore of sound mind, and be sober unto prayer:

⁸ above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins:

³ Knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience.

⁹ Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men,

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

¹¹ And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

¹² All things are lawful for me; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful for me; but I will not be brought under the power of any.

¹⁶ For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vain glory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

¹ Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler; And whosoever erreth thereby is not wise.

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;

¹¹ Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.

¹² Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof:

¹³ neither present your members unto sin `as' instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as 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 law, but under grace.

⁴¹ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

⁷ Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

³⁴ Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.

²³ Be no longer a drinker of water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

¹⁹ Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own;

⁵ For if we have become united with `him' in the likeness of his death, we shall be also `in the likeness' of his resurrection;

⁶ knowing this, that our old man was crucified with `him', that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;

⁷ for he that hath died is justified from sin.
