8

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?

In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:

And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.

And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,

And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.

And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the LORD for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.

For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
