1[There is] thereforenownocondemnationto them which are inChristJesus,who walknotafterthe flesh,butafterthe Spirit.2Forthe lawof the Spiritof lifeinChristJesushath mademefreefromthe lawof sinanddeath.3Forwhat the lawcould not do,inthatit was weakthroughthe flesh,Godsendinghis ownSoninthe likenessof sinfulflesh,andforsin,condemnedsininthe flesh:4Thatthe righteousnessof the lawmight be fulfilledinus,who walknotafterthe flesh,butafterthe Spirit.5Forthey that areafterthe fleshdo mindthe thingsof the flesh;butthey that are afterthe Spiritthe thingsof the Spirit.6Forto becarnallyminded[is] death;butto bespirituallyminded[is] lifeandpeace.7Becausethe carnalmind[is] enmityagainstGod:forit isnotsubjectto the lawof God,neitherindeedcan be.8So thenthey that areinthe fleshcannotpleaseGod.

(Ephesians 1:3-14)
28Andwe knowthat all thingswork togetherforgoodto them thatloveGod,to them who arethe calledaccordingto [his] purpose.29Forwhomhe did foreknow,healsodid predestinate[to be] conformedto the imageof hisSon,thathemight bethe firstbornamongmanybrethren.30Moreoverwhomhe did predestinate,themhealsocalled:andwhomhe called,themhealsojustified:andwhomhe justified,themhealsoglorified.
31Whatshall wethensaytothese things?IfGod[be] forus,who[can be] againstus?32He thatsparednothis ownSon,butdeliveredhimupforusall,howshall henotwithhimalsofreely giveusall things?33Whoshall lay any thingto the chargeof God'select?[It is] Godthat justifieth.34Who[is] he that condemneth{5694}? [It is] Christthat died,yearather,that is risen again,whoisevenatthe right handof God,whoalsomaketh intercessionforus.
