c. So then with my mind I my self serve the the law of God but with the flesh the law of sin Rom. 7. 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25. There is therefore no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit c. For they who are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh but they who are after the spirit the things of the spirit c. If any man have not the spirit of Christ he is none of his and if Christ be in you the body is dead because of sin but the spirit is life because of righteousness c. As many as are led by the spirit of God are the sons of God For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear but ye have received the spirit of adoption whereby we cry Abba Father c. We our selves groan within our selves waiting for the adoption the redemption of our body c. Rom. 8. 1 5 9 10 14 15 23. I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart c. for my brethren my kinsmen according to the flesh c.

Rom. 14. 17 18. The preaching of the cross is to them who perish foolishness but unto us who are saved it is the power of God c. Christ crucified unto the Jews a stumbling-block c. but unto them who are called both Jews and Greeks Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God 1 Cor. 1. 18 24. Such were some of you but ye are washed but ye are sanctified c. 1 Cor. 6. 11. That no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Ghost 1 Cor. 12. 3. Though I speak with the tongue of men and of angels and have not charity I am become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal and though I have the gift of prophecy and understood all mysteries and all knowledge and though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains and have not charity I am nothing And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor and though I give my body to be burned and have not charity it profiteth nothing to me 1 Cor. 13. 1 2 3. We beholding c. the glory of the Lord c. are changed into the same image c. by the spirit 2 Cor. 3. 17 18. We having the same spirit of faith according as it is written I believed and therefore have I spoken we also believe and therefore speak 2 Cor. 4. 13. Psal 26. 10. Acts 4. 20. In this we groan earnestly desiring to be cloathed with our house from heaven c. that mortality might be swallowed up of life We are willing to be absent from the body that we may be present with the Lord wherefore we labour that whether present c. we may be accepted of him c. Knowing therefore the terrour of the Lord we persuade men c. The love of Christ constraineth us c. If any man be in Christ he is a new creature Old things are passed away behold all things are become new 2 Cor. 5. 2 4 8 9 11 14 17. Philip. 1. 21 23. Jesus Christ is in you except ye be reprobates c. We can do nothing against the truth but for the truth 2 Cor. 13. 5 8. When it pleased God c. to reveal his Son in me that I might preach him c. immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood Gal. 1. 15 16. I am crucified with Christ nevertheless I live yet not I but Christ liveth in me Gal. 2. 20. The works of the flesh are manifest which are adultery c. But the fruit of the spirit is love joy peace long-suffering gentleness goodness faith meekness temperance And they who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections or passions and lusts Gal. 5. 19 20 21 22 23 24. God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ by whom or whereby the world is crucified unto me and I unto the world for in Jesus Christ circumcision availeth nothing c. but a new creature Gal. 6. 14 15. This I say therefore and testifie in the Lord That ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk in the vanity of their minds c. But ye have not not so learned Christ If so be that ye have heard him and have been taught by him as the truth is in Jesus Ephes 4. 17 18 19 20 21. For ye were sometimes darkness but now are ye light in the Lord Walk as children c. for the the fruit of the spirit is in all goodness righteousness and truth Ephes 5. 8 9. Some preach Christ out of envy and strife c. What then Notwithstanding in every way whether in pretence or in truth Christ is preached and therein do I rejoyce yea and I will rejoyce Philip. 1. 15 16 17 18. We are the circumcision who worship God in the spirit rejoyce in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh c. What things were gain to me those I count loss for Christ yea doubtless and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord c. that I might know him and the power of his resurrection c. and be made conformable unto his death if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead not as though I had already attained or were already perfect but I follow after c. but this one thing forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before I press towards the mark c. Let us therefore as many as be perfect be thus minded c. Our conversation is in heaven from whence we look for the Saviour c. Phillip 3. 3 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 20. I have learned in whatsoever estate I am therewith to be content I know how to be abased and I know how to abound every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry both to abound and to suffer need I can do all things through Christ who strengthnern me â—hllip 4. 11 12 13. And bringeth forth â—ruits as it doth also in you since the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth Col. 1. 6. If ye be risen with Christ seek those things which are above c. Set your affections on things above not on things on the earth c. seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds and have put on the new man which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him who created him Colos 3. 1 2 9 10. Remembring without ceasing your work
12. No man speaking by the spirit of God ceileth Jesus accursed c. that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the holy Ghost c. There are diversity of gifts but the same spirit c. to one is given c. But all these worketh that one and the self same spirit dividing c. 1 Cor. 12. 3 4 5 6 7 c.

Now the Lord is that spirit and where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty 2 Cor. 3. 2 3 6 7 8 17. God hath sent forth the spirit of his son into your hearts crying Abba father Gal. 4. 6.
