The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

And patience experience, and experience hope,

And hope maketh not ashamed, because the loue of God is shed abroade in our heartes by the holy Ghost, which is giuen vnto vs.

For Christ, when we were yet of no strength, at his time died for the vngodly.

Doutles one will scarce die for a righteous man: but yet for a good man it may be that one dare die.

But God setteth out his loue towards vs, seeing that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for vs.

Much more then, being now iustified by his blood, we shalbe saued from wrath through him.

For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Sonne, much more being reconciled, we shalbe saued by his life,

And not onely so, but we also reioyce in God through our Lord Iesus Christ, by whom we haue nowe receiued the atonement.

Wherefore, as by one man sinne entred into ye world, and death by sinne, and so death went ouer all men: in who all men haue sinned.

For vnto the time of the Law was sinne in the worlde, but sinne is not imputed, while there is no lawe.

But death reigned from Adam to Moses, euen ouer them also that sinned not after the like maner of that transgression of Adam, which was the figure of him that was to come.

But yet the gift is not so, as is the offence: for if through the offence of that one, many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man Iesus Christ, hath abounded vnto many.

Neither is the gift so, as that which entred in by one that sinned: for the fault came of one offence vnto condemnation: but the gift is of many offences to iustification.

For if by the offence of one, death reigned through one, much more shall they which receiue that abundance of grace, and of that gift of that righteousnesse, reigne in life through one, that is, Iesus Christ.

Likewise then as by the offence of one, the fault came on all men to condemnation, so by the iustifying of one, the benefite abounded toward all men to the iustification of life.

For as by one mans disobedience many were made sinners, so by that obedience of that one shall many also be made righteous.

Moreouer the Law entred thereupon that the offence shoulde abound: neuerthelesse, where sinne abounded, there grace abounded much more:

That as sinne had reigned vnto death, so might grace also reigne by righteousnesse vnto eternall life, through Iesus Christ our Lord.

What shall we say then? Shall we continue still in sinne, that grace may abounde? God forbid.

Howe shall we, that are dead to sinne, liue yet therein?

Knowe ye not, that all we which haue bene baptized into Iesus Christ, haue bene baptized into his death?

We are buried then with him by baptisme into his death, that like as Christ was raysed vp from the dead to the glorie of the Father, so we also should walke in newnesse of life.

For if we be planted with him to the similitude of his death, euen so shall we be to the similitude of his resurrection,

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sinne might be destroied, that henceforth we should not serue sinne.

For he that is dead, is freed from sinne.

Wherefore, if we bee dead with Christ, we beleeue that we shall liue also with him,

Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead, dieth no more: death hath no more dominion ouer him.

For in that hee died, hee died once to sinne but in that he liueth, he liueth to God.

Likewise thinke ye also, that ye are dead to sin, but are aliue to God in Iesus Christ our Lord.

Let not sinne reigne therefore in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in ye lusts therof:

Neither giue ye your members, as weapons of vnrighteousnes vnto sinne: but giue your selues vnto God, as they that are aliue from the dead, and giue your members as weapons of righteousnesse vnto God.

For sinne shall not haue dominion ouer you: for ye are not vnder ye Lawe, but vnder grace.

What then? shall we sinne, because we are not vnder the Law, but vnder grace? God forbid.

Knowe ye not, that to whomsoeuer yee giue your selues as seruats to obey, his seruants ye are to whom ye obey, whether it be of sinne vnto death, or of obedience vnto righteousnesse?

But God be thanked, that ye haue beene the seruants of sinne, but yee haue obeyed from the heart vnto the forme of the doctrine, wherunto ye were deliuered.

Being then made free from sinne, yee are made the seruants of righteousnesse.

I speake after the maner of man, because of the infirmitie of your flesh: for as yee haue giuen your members seruants to vncleannes and to iniquitie, to commit iniquitie, so now giue your mebers seruants vnto righteousnesse in holinesse.

For when ye were the seruants of sinne, ye were freed from righteousnesse.

What fruit had ye then in those things, whereof ye are nowe ashamed? For the ende of those things is death.

But now being freed from sinne, and made seruants vnto God, ye haue your fruit in holines, and the end, euerlasting life.

For the wages of sinne is death: but the gift of God is eternall life, through Iesus Christ our Lord.

Knowe yee not, brethren, (for I speake to them that knowe the Lawe) that the Lawe hath dominion ouer a man as long as he liueth?

For the woman which is in subiection to a man, is bound by the Lawe to the man, while he liueth: but if the man bee dead, shee is deliuered from the lawe of the man.

So then, if while the man liueth, she taketh another man, she shalbe called an adulteresse: but if the man be dead, she is free from the Law, so that shee is not an adulteresse, though shee take another man.

So yee, my brethren, are dead also to the Law by ye body of Christ, that ye should be vnto an other, euen vnto him that is raised vp from the dead, that we should bring foorth fruite vnto God.

For when we were in ye flesh, the affections of sinnes, which were by the Law, had force in our members, to bring foorth fruit vnto death.

But now we are deliuered from the Lawe, he being dead in whom we were holden, that we should serue in newnesse of Spirite, and not in the oldnesse of the letter.

What shall we say then? Is the Lawe sinne? God forbid. Nay, I knewe not sinne, but by the Lawe: for I had not knowen lust, except the Lawe had sayd, Thou shalt not lust.

But sinne tooke an occasion by ye commandement, and wrought in me all maner of concupiscence: for without the Lawe sinne is dead.

For I once was aliue, without the Law: but when the commandement came, sinne reuiued,

But I died: and the same commandement which was ordeined vnto life, was found to be vnto me vnto death.

For sinne tooke occasion by the commandement, and deceiued me, and thereby slewe me.

Wherefore the Lawe is holy, and that commandement is holy, and iust, and good.

Was that then which is good, made death vnto me? God forbid: but sinne, that it might appeare sinne, wrought death in me by that which is good, that sinne might be out of measure sinfull by the commandement.

For we knowe that the Law is spirituall, but I am carnall, solde vnder sinne.

For I alow not that which I do: for what I would, that do I not: but what I hate, that do I.

If I doe then that which I woulde not, I consent to the Lawe, that it is good.

Nowe then, it is no more I, that doe it, but sinne that dwelleth in me.

For I know, that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to wil is preset with me: but I find no meanes to perform that which is good.

For I doe not the good thing, which I would, but the euil, which I would not, that do I.

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

I finde then that when I would doe good, I am thus yoked, that euill is present with me.

For I delite in the Law of God, concerning the inner man:

But I see another Law in my members, rebelling against the Lawe of my minde, and leading me captiue vnto the lawe of sinne, which is in my members.

O wretched man that I am, who shall deliuer me from the body of this death!

I thanke God through Iesus Christ our Lord. Then I my selfe in my minde serue the Lawe of God, but in my flesh the lawe of sinne.

Now then there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Iesus, which walke not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For the Lawe of the Spirite of life, which is in Christ Iesus, hath freed mee from the lawe of sinne and of death.

For (that that was impossible to ye Lawe, in as much as it was weake, because of ye flesh) God sending his owne Sonne, in ye similitude of sinful flesh, and for sinne, condened sinne in the flesh,

That that righteousnes of the Law might be fulfilled in vs, which walke not after ye flesh, but after the Spirit.

For they that are after the flesh, sauour the things of the flesh: but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

For the wisedome of the flesh is death: but the wisedome of the Spirit is life and peace,

Because the wisedome of the flesh is enimitie against God: for it is not subiect to the Lawe of God, neither in deede can be.

So then they that are in the flesh, can not please God.

Now ye are not in the flesh, but in ye Spirit, because ye spirit of God dwelleth in you: but if any man hath not ye Spirit of Christ, ye same is not his.

And if Christ bee in you, the body is dead, because of sinne: but the Spirite is life for righteousnesse sake.

But 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.

Therefore brethren, wee are detters not to the flesh, to liue after the flesh:

For if ye liue after the flesh, ye shall die: but if yee mortifie the deedes of the body by the Spirit, ye shall liue.

For as many as are ledde by the Spirit of God, they are the sonnes of God.

For ye haue not receiued the Spirit of bodage, to feare againe: but ye haue receiued the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, Father.

The same Spirit beareth witnesse with our spirit, that we are the children of God.

If we be children, we are also heires, euen the heires of God, and heires annexed with Christ: if so be that we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

For I count that the afflictions of this present time are not worthy of the glory, which shalbe shewed vnto vs.

For the feruent desire of the creature waiteth when the sonnes of God shalbe reueiled,

Because the creature is subiect to vanitie, not of it owne will, but by reason of him, which hath subdued it vnder hope,

Because the creature also shall be deliuered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious libertie of the sonnes of God.

For we knowe that euery creature groneth with vs also, and trauaileth in paine together vnto this present.

And not onely the creature, but we also which haue the first fruites of the Spirit, euen we doe sigh in our selues, waiting for the adoption, euen the redemption of our body.

For we are saued by hope: but hope that is seene, is not hope: for how can a man hope for that which he seeth?

But if we hope for that we see not, we doe with patience abide for it.

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we knowe not what to pray as wee ought: but the Spirit it selfe maketh request for vs with sighs, which cannot be expressed.

But he that searcheth the heartes, knoweth what is the meaning of the Spirit: for he maketh request for ye Saints, according to the wil of God.

Also we knowe that all thinges worke together for the best vnto them that loue God, euen to them that are called of his purpose.

For those which hee knewe before, he also predestinate to bee made like to the image of his Sonne, that hee might be the first borne among many brethren.

Moreouer whom he predestinate, them also he called, and whom he called, them also he iustified, and whom he iustified, them he also glorified.

What shall we then say to these thinges? If God be on our side, who can be against vs?

Who spared not his owne Sonne, but gaue him for vs all to death, how shall he not with him giue vs all things also?

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods chosen? it is God that iustifieth,

Who shall condemne? it is Christ which is dead, yea, or rather, which is risen againe, who is also at the right hand of God, and maketh request also for vs.
