Commandments & Obedience Verses

I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. {from...: Gr. to righteousness}

But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

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. {lust: or, concupiscence}

But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin {was} dead.

For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

And the commandment, which {was ordained} to life, I found {to be} unto death.

For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew {me}.

Wherefore the law {is} holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
