¹²Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

¹⁴I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

⁷But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

¹⁹Neuerthelesse the foundation of God standeth ^‖sure, hauing the seale, the Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let euery one that nameth the Name of Christ, depart from iniquitie.

¹³The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

¹³The feare of the LORD is to hate euill: pride and arrogancie, and the euill way, and the froward mouth doe I hate.

¹⁵Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

³I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

³I will set no ^†wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the worke of them that turne aside, it shal not cleaue to me.

¹⁶If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

¹⁶If then I doe that which I would not, I consent vnto the Law, that it is good.

⁴⁶If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;

^4‖Hee deuiseth mischiefe vpon his bed, he setteth himselfe in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not euill.

¹²Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

¹²Wherefore the Law is holy, and the Commandement holy, and iust, and good.

⁸But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;

⁸But we know that the Law is good, if a man vse it lawfully.

¹⁴For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

¹⁴For wee know that the Law is spirituall: but I am carnall, sold vnder sinne.

¹²⁷Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.

²²For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

²²For I delight in the Lawe of God, after the inward man.

²⁰Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

²⁰Now if I doe that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sinne that dwelleth in me.

⁸Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

⁹And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

⁸Yea doubtlesse, and I count all things but losse, for the excellencie of the knowledge of Christ Iesus my Lord: for whom I haue suffered the losse of all things, and doe count them but doung, that I may win Christ,

⁹And be found in him, not hauing mine owne righteousnesse, which is of the Law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousnesse which is of God by faith:

¹⁸For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

¹⁸For I know, that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing. For to will is present with me: but how to performe that which is good, I find not.

⁵Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

⁶But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

⁵Doe ye thinke that the Scripture saith in vaine, the spirit that dwelleth in vs lusteth ^‖to enuy?

⁶But he giueth more grace, wherefore he saith, ^*God resisteth the proude, but giueth grace vnto the humble.

⁸Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

⁷ Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiuen, and whose sinnes are couered.

²³But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

²³But I see another Lawe in my members, warring against the Lawe of my minde, and bringing me into captiuity to the Law of sinne, which is in my members.

⁶That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

⁶That which is borne of the flesh, is flesh, and that which is borne of the spirit, is spirit.

⁵Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

^5†Behold, I was shapen in iniquitie: and in sinne did my mother conceiue me.

¹⁷For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

¹⁷For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that yee cannot doe the things that yee would.

¹¹⁵Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.

¹¹⁶Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

¹¹⁷Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.

²⁵I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

²⁵I thanke God through Iesus Christ our Lord. So then, with the mind I my self serue the Law of God: but with the flesh, the law of sinne.

⁴Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.

^4†Who ^*can bring a cleane thing out of an vncleane? not one.

²⁴And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

²⁴And they that are Christs, haue crucified the flesh with the ^‖affections and lustes.

¹⁴What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

¹⁵Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.

¹⁶How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?

^14*What is man, that he should be cleane? and he which is borne of a woman, that he should be righteous?

^15*Beholde, he putteth no trust in his Saints, yea, the heauens are not cleane in his sight.

¹⁶How much more abominable and filthie is man, which drinketh iniquitie like water?

⁵¶ And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

⁵¶ And God saw, that the wickednes of man was great in the earth, and that ^‖euery imagination of the thoughts of his ^*heart was onely euill ^†continually.

¹³For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

¹³For it is God which worketh in you, both to will, and to doe, of his good pleasure.

²¹For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

²²Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

²³All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

^21*For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed euill thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

^22*Thefts, couetousnesse, wickednesse, deceit, lasciuiousnesse, an euill eye, blasphemie, pride, foolishnesse:

²³All these euill things come from within, and defile the man.

³For 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:

⁴That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

⁵For 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.

⁶For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

⁷Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

⁸So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

⁹But 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.

¹⁰And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

¹¹But 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.

¹²Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

¹³For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

³For what the law could not doe, in that it was weake through the flesh, God sending his owne Sonne, in the likenesse of sinnefull flesh, and ^‖for sinne condemned sinne in the flesh:

⁴That the righteousnesse of the law might be fulfilled in vs, who walke not after the flesh, but after the spirit.

⁵For they that are after the flesh, doe minde the things of the flesh: but they that are after the spirit, the things of the spirit.

⁶For to ^†be carnally minded, is death: but ^†to be spiritually minded, is life and peace:

⁷Because ^†the carnall minde is enmitie against God: for it is not subiect to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

⁸So then they that are in the flesh, cannot please God.

⁹But 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 haue not the spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

¹⁰And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sinne: but the spirit is life, because of righteousnesse.

¹¹But if the spirit of him that raised vp Iesus from the dead, dwell in you: he that raised vp Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortall bodies, ^‖by his spirit that dwelleth in you.

¹²Therfore brethren, we are detters, not to the flesh, to liue after the flesh.

¹³For if ye liue after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the spirit doe mortifie the deeds of the body, ye shall liue.

³For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

³For we our selues also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceiued, seruing diuers lusts and pleasures, liuing in malice and enuy, hatefull, and hating one another.

¹AND you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

²Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

³Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

⁴But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

⁵Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

¹¶ And you hath hee quickned who were dead in trespasses, and sinnes,

²Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the aire, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience,

³Among whom also we all had our conuersation in times past, in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling ^†the desires of the flesh, and of the minde, and were by nature the children of wrath, euen as others:

⁴But God who is rich in mercie, for his great loue wherewith hee loued vs,

⁵Euen when wee were dead in sinnes, hath quickned vs together with Christ, (by grace ye are saued)

¹⁵For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

¹⁵For that which I do, I ^†allow not: for what I would, that do I not, but what I hate, that doe I.

¹⁹For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

¹⁹For the good that I would, I do not: but the euill which I would not, that I doe.

²¹And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

²¹And the LORD smelled a ^†sweete sauour, and the LORD said in his heart, I will not againe curse the ground any more for mans sake; for the ^*imagination of mans heart is euil from his youth: neither will I againe smite any more euery thing liuing, as I haue done.

¹⁹For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

^19*For out of the heart proceed euill thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnes, blasphemies.

¹²Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

¹²Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Iesus.

²That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

²That he no longer should liue the rest of his time in the flesh, to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

⁴How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

^4*How then can man bee iustified with God? or how can he be cleane that is borne of a woman?

¹³If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

¹³If ye then, being euill, know how to giue good gifts vnto your children: how much more shall your heauenly Father giue the holy Spirit to them that aske him?

¹⁷⁶I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.

¹⁷⁶I haue gone astray like a lost sheepe, seeke thy seruant: for I doe not forget thy commandements.

⁴⁰Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

⁴⁰Behold, I haue longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousnesse.

¹⁴But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

¹⁴But put yee on the Lord Iesus Christ, and make not prouision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.

¹⁹Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

²⁰Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

¹⁷³Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.

¹⁷³Let thine hand helpe me: for I haue chosen thy precepts.

⁵For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

⁵For when wee were in the flesh, the ^†motions of sinnes which were by the law, did worke in our members, to bring foorth fruit vnto death.

⁶But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

^6*But we are al as an vncleane thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy ragges, and we all doe fade as a leafe, and our iniquities like the wind haue taken vs away.
