Romans

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.

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?

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

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?

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

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

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.

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

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

For he that is dead is freed from sin.

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 if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

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, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

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

That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

For as by one man"s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

For if by one man"s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
