Romans 10
| For I bear them record that
they have a zeal of God, but not according to
knowledge. |
| For they being ignorant of
God's righteousness, and going about to
establish their own righteousness, have not
submitted themselves unto the righteousness of
God. |
| For Christ is the end of
the law for righteousness to every one that
believeth. |
Romans 10:2-4 |
Romans 8
| For 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. |
| For to be carnally minded
is death; but to be spiritually minded is life
and peace. |
| Because the carnal mind is
enmity against God: for it is not subject to the
law of God, neither indeed can be. |
| So then they that are in
the flesh cannot please God. |
| But 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. |
| And if Christ be in you,
the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit
is life because of righteousness. |
| But 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. |
| Therefore, brethren, we are
debtors, not to the flesh, to live 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 as many as are led by
the Spirit of God, they are the sons 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. |
| The Spirit itself beareth
witness with our spirit, that we are the
children of God: |
| And if children, then
heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with
Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that
we may be also glorified together. |
Romans 8:5-17 |
Colossians 2
| As ye have therefore
received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in
him: |
| Rooted and built up in him,
and stablished in the faith, as ye have been
taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. |
| Beware lest any man spoil
you through philosophy and vain deceit, after
the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the
world, and not after Christ. |
| For in him dwelleth all the
fulness of the Godhead bodily. |
| And ye are complete in him,
which is the head of all principality and power: |
| In whom also ye are
circumcised with the circumcision made without
hands, in putting off the body of the sins of
the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: |
| Buried with him in baptism,
wherein also ye are risen with him through the
faith of the operation of God, who hath raised
him from the dead. |
| And you, being dead in your
sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath
he quickened together with him, having forgiven
you all trespasses; |
| Blotting out the
handwriting of ordinances that was against us,
which was contrary to us, and took it out of the
way, nailing it to his cross; |
| And having spoiled
principalities and powers, he made a show of
them openly, triumphing over them in it. |
| Let no man therefore judge
you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an
holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath
days: |
| Which are a shadow of
things to come; but the body is of Christ. |
| Let no man beguile you of
your reward in a voluntary humility and
worshipping of angels, intruding into those
things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up
by his fleshly mind, |
| And not holding the Head,
from which all the body by joints and bands
having nourishment ministered, and knit
together, increaseth with the increase of God. |
| Wherefore if ye be dead
with Christ from the rudiments of the world,
why, as though living in the world, are ye
subject to ordinances, |
| (Touch not; taste not;
handle not; |
| Which all are to perish
with the using;) after the commandments and
doctrines of men? |
| Which things have indeed a
show of wisdom in will worship, and humility,
and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to
the satisfying of the flesh. |
Colossians 2:6-23 |
Colossians 3
| If ye then be risen with
Christ, seek those things which are above, where
Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. |
| Set your affection on
things above, not on things on the earth. |
| For ye are dead, and your
life is hid with Christ in God. |
| When Christ, who is our
life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear
with him in glory. |
| Mortify therefore your
members which are upon the earth; fornication,
uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil
concupiscence, and covetousness, which is
idolatry: |
| For which things' sake the
wrath of God cometh on the children of
disobedience: |
| In the which ye also walked
some time, when ye lived in them. |
Colossians 3:1-7 |
