by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which
grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24and that
you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

VICTORY OVER SIN
ROM 6:14 ...sin shall not [any longer] exert dominion over you.
19. 1WHAT SHALL we say? Are we to remain in sin in order that God's grace may multiply and overflow? 2Certainly
not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer? 3Are you ignorant of the fact that all of us who have been
baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4We were buried therefore with Him by the baptism into
death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious [power] of the Father, so we too might
[habitually] live and behave in newness of life. 5For if we have become one with Him by sharing a death like His,
we shall also be [one with Him in sharing] His resurrection [by a new life lived for God]. 6We know that our old
(unrenewed) self was nailed to the cross with Him in order that [our] body [which is the instrument] of sin might
be made ineffective and inactive for evil, that we might no longer be the slaves of sin. 7For when a man dies, he
is freed from [the power of] sin [among men]. 8Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live
with Him, 9Because we know that Christ (the Anointed One), being once raised from the dead, will never die
again; death no longer has power over Him. 10For by the death He died, He died to sin once for all; and the life
that He lives, He is living to God [in unbroken fellowship with Him]. 11Even so consider yourselves also dead to
sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12Let not sin therefore rule as king in your
mortal bodies, to make you yield to its cravings and be subject to its lusts and evil passions. 13Do not continue
offering or yielding your bodily members to sin as instruments of wickedness. But offer and yield yourselves to
God as though you have been raised from the dead to life, and your bodily members to God, presenting them as
implements of righteousness. 14For sin shall not [any longer] exert dominion over you, since now you are not
under Law, but under grace. 15What then? Shall we sin because we live not under Law but under God's favor
and mercy? Certainly not! 16Do you not know that if you continually surrender yourselves to anyone to do his
will, you are the slaves of him whom you obey, whether that be to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience
which leads to righteousness? 17But thank God, though you were once slaves of sin, you have become obedient
with all your heart to the standard of teaching in which you were instructed and to which you were committed.
18And having been set free from sin, you have become the servants of righteousness. 19I am speaking in
familiar human terms because of your natural limitations. For as you yielded your bodily members as servants to
impurity and ever increasing lawlessness, so now yield your bodily members once for all as servants to
righteousness [which leads] to sanctification. 20For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to
righteousness. 21But then what benefit did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? [None] for
the end of those things is death. 22But now since you have been set free from sin and have become the slaves
of God, you have your present reward in holiness and its end is eternal life. 23For the wages which sin pays is
death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. ROM 6

30. ROM 7:14-25 14
We know that the Law is spiritual; but I am a creature of the flesh , having been sold into slavery under [the
control of] sin.
15For I do not understand my own actions [I am baffled, bewildered]. I do not practice or accomplish what I wish,
but I do the very thing that I loathe [which my moral instinct condemns]. 16Now if I do [habitually] what is contrary
to my desire, [that means that] I acknowledge and agree that the Law is good and that I take sides with it.
17However, it is no longer I who do the deed, but the sin which is at home in me and has possession of me.
18For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot perform
it. 19For I fail to practice the good deeds I desire to do, but the evil deeds that I do not desire to do are what I am
[ever] doing. 20Now if I do what I do not desire to do, it is no longer I doing it, but the sin which dwells within me.
21So I find it to be a law that when I want to do what is right and good, evil is ever present with me and I am
subject to its insistent demands. 22For I endorse and delight in the Law of God in my inmost self [with my new
nature]. 23But I discern in my bodily members [in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh] a different law at
war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner to the law of sin that dwells in my bodily organs [in the
sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh]. 24O unhappy and pitiable and wretched man that I am! Who will
release and deliver me from [the shackles of] this body of death? 25O thank God! [He will!] through Jesus Christ
(the Anointed One) our Lord! So then indeed I, of myself with the mind and heart, serve the Law of God, but with
the flesh the law of sin.
Rom 8:1-6
1THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after
the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit. 2For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ
Jesus has freed me from the law of sin and of death. 3For God has done what the Law could not do, [its power]
being weakened by the flesh. Sending His own Son in the guise of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, [God]
condemned sin in the flesh [subdued, overcame, deprived it of its power over all who accept that sacrifice],
4So that the righteous and just requirement of the Law might be fully met in us who live and move not in the
ways of the flesh but in the ways of the Spirit [our lives governed not by the standards and according to the
dictates of the flesh, but controlled by the Holy Spirit]. 5For those who are according to the flesh and are
controlled by its unholy desires set their minds on and pursue those things which gratify the flesh, but those who
are according to the Spirit and are controlled by the desires of the Spirit set their minds on and seek those things
which gratify the [Holy] Spirit. 6Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is
death . But the mind of the spirit is life and peace [both now and forever].
