e dwells no good.
For to wish is present with me, but to do the good is not; [7:19]for
the good which I wish I do not, but the evil which I wish not this I do.
4 [7:20]But if what I wish not this I do, I no longer do it, but sin
which dwells in me. [7:21]I find therefore the law, that when I wish to
do good evil is present with me; [7:22]for I consent to the law of God
as to my inward man, [my soul], [7:23]but I see another law in my
members warring against the law of my mind, and making me captive to
the law of sin which is in my members. [7:24] Miserable man that I am;
who will deliver me from the body of this death? [7:25] Thanks be to
God through Jesus Christ our Lord; therefore I myself with the mind
serve the law of God, and with the flesh the law of sin.
CHAPTER VI.
THOSE IN CHRIST NOT SUBJECT TO CONDEMNATION, NOR TO THE FLESH, BUT
RULED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, ETC.
1 [8:1]THERE is no condemnation therefore to those in Christ Jesus;
[8:2]for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free

they who are according to the spirit the things of the spirit; [8:6]
for the minding of the flesh is death, but the minding of the Spirit is
life and peace. [8:7]Because the minding of the flesh is enmity against
God; for it is not subject to the law of God; for it can not be.
[8:8]And they that are in the flesh cannot please God. [8:9]But you are
not in the flesh but in the spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells
in you. And if any man has not the spirit of Christ he is not his.
[8:10]But if Christ is in you, the body is dead on account of sin, but
the spirit is life on account of righteousness. [8:11]And if the Spirit
of him that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised
Christ from the dead shall make alive your mortal bodies through his
Spirit that dwells in you.
2 [8:12]Therefore, brothers, we are debtors not to the flesh to live

you shall die; but if by the spirit you kill the deeds of the body, you
