1. What

1. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2. God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

3. Know ye not, that so many of us, as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

4. Therefore 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 sh d walk in newness of life.

5. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

6. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

7. For he that is dead is freed from sin.

8. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

9. Knowing that Christ being raised from y e dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

10. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

11. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Samples of nonsense

Rom VII. 1 to 25. Tautology

VI. Repeated nonsense much of it

Nonsense about the Law, marriage— adultery, death, body of Christ— resurrection, fruit, flesh, motions of sins, members spirit—letter, least commandment, concupiscence — holy, just & good commandment, spirituality, carnality: concluding with a sad paraphrase of video meliora proboque Deteriora sequor —

1. Know ye not brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over man as long as he liveth?

2. For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth: but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

3. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead she is free from the law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

4. Wherefore my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ, that ye should be married to another, even to him that is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

5. For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

6. But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we sh d serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

7. What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by ye law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said Thou shalt not covet.

Rom VIII 1 to 18.

VII. Unmercifully repeated

Nonsense about flesh, spirit law, and sin, life&

death peace and enmity, bondage and adoption

heirship glorification — suffering and glory &

1. There is therefore now no condemnation to

them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not

after the flesh, but after the spirit.

2. For the law of the spirit of life in Christ

Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

3. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

4. That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

5. 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.

6. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

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

9. 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.

10. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead, because of sin: but the spirit is life because of righteousness.
