Romans 8:1-16 ▼

1 There is then no dampnation to them which are in Christe Iesu, which walke not after the fleshe, but after the spirite.

2 For the lawe of the spirite of lyfe, through Iesus Christe, hath made me free from the lawe of sinne and death.

3 For what the lawe coulde not do, in as much as it was weake through the fleshe, God sendyng his owne sonne, in the similitude of sinfull fleshe, euen by sinne, condempned sinne in the fleshe:

4 That the ryghteousnesse of the lawe, myght be fulfylled in vs, which walke not after the fleshe, but after the spirite.

5 For they that are carnall, are carnally mynded: But they that are spirituall, are spiritually mynded.

6 To be carnally mynded, is death: But to be spiritually mynded, is lyfe & peace:

7 Because that the fleshly mynde is enmitie agaynst God: For it is not obedient to the lawe of God, neither can be.

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

9 But ye are not in the fleshe, but in the spirite, yf so be that the spirite of God dwell in you. If any man haue not the spirite of Christe, the same is none of his.

10 And yf Christe be in you, the body is dead because of sinne: but the spirite is lyfe for ryghteousnesse sake.

11 But, yf ye spirite of hym that raysed vp Iesus from the dead, dwell in you: euen he that raised vp Christe from the dead, shall also quicken your mortall bodyes, because that his spirite dwelleth in you.

12 Therfore brethren, we are detters, not to the fleshe, to lyue after the fleshe.

13 For if ye liue after ye fleshe, ye shall dye: But if ye through the spirite, do mortifie the deedes of the body, ye shall lyue.

14 For as many as are led by the spirite of God, they are the sonnes of God.

15 For ye haue not receaued the spirite of bondage agayne to feare: but ye haue receaued the spirite of adoption, wherby we cry, Abba, father.

16 The same spirite, beareth witnesse to our spirite, that we are ye sonnes of God.
