Sin/Doing Wrong
- Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that
you obey its evil desires. Romans 6:12
- What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that
grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any
longer? Romans 6:1-2
- But now that you have been set free from sin and have
become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result
is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is
eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:22-23
- Those who live according to the sinful nature have their
minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with
the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind of
sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace;
the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it
do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.
You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if
the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of
Christ, he does not belong to Christ. Romans 8:5-9
