Romans 8:12–15
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
Therfore brethren, we are detters, not to the flesh, to liue after the flesh.
For 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.
For 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.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
For as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sonnes of God.
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
For ye haue not receiued the spirit of bondage againe to feare: but ye haue receiued the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, father.

2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4Therefore 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.
5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13Neither 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.
14For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

5For if we haue bene planted together in the likenesse of his death: wee shalbe also in the likenesse of his resurrection:
6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the bodie of sinne might bee destroyed, that hencefoorth we should not serue sinne.
7For he that is dead, is †freed from sinne.
8Now if we be dead with Christ, we beleeue that we shal also liue with him:
9Knowing that Christ being raysed from the dead, dieth no more, death hath no more dominion ouer him.
10For in that he dyed, he dyed vnto sinne once: but in that hee liueth, hee liueth vnto God.
11Likewise reckon yee also your selues to be dead indeed vnto sinne: but aliue vnto God, through Iesus Christ our Lord.
12Let not sinne reigne therfore in your mortall body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13Neither yeeld yee your members as instruments of vnrighteousnes vnto sinne: but yeelde your selues vnto God, as those that are aliue from the dead, and your members as †instruments of righteousnesse vnto God.
14For sinne shall not haue dominion ouer you, for yee are not vnder the Law, but vnder Grace.
15What then? shal we sinne, because wee are not vnder the Law, but vnder Grace? God forbid.
