(See above.) Rom. vii. 7, 8. What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law; for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you; whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. Tit. ii. 12. Teaching us, that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. Tit. iii. 3. For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice, hateful and hating one another. Mark iv. 19. And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. 1 John ii, 15-17.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away and the lusts thereof, but he that doeth the will of God, abideth for ever. Matt. vi. 24.

The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the wicked shall perish. Gal. v. 21. Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in times past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Tit. iii. 3. (See above.) 1 John iii. 17. But whoso hath this world's goods, and seeth his brother hath need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lusts of the flesh.

But if ye be led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Gal. vi. 8.

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. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what things to pray for, as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us, with groanings which cannot be uttered. 2 Cor. vi. 4. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them that believe not, lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. John xii. 31. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. John xiv. 30. Hereafter I will not talk much with you, for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. Phil. iii. 13.

Rom. iii. 9. 20. 23. What then? Are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin.

Moreover by them is thy servant warned, and in keeping of them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors? Cleanse thou me, from my secret faults. Gal. iii. 21.

James ii. 11, 12. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
