Romans 6,7,8,12,&7

I know that I have been baptized into Jesus’ death. So, my old man is buried with him into death, and now I walk in a new life. I have become dead to the law of sin and death through the sacrifice of Jesus, and now I’m joined to you, father, who raised Jesus from the dead.

Now I serve you, father, in the newness of the spirit. Your Holy Spirit fills me with a new man, and I delight in your laws, father.

So now, I have two natures, old and new. I realize that nothing good dwells in my old fleshy nature. Sometimes I do not do the good I want to do, and, in fact, sometimes do the very evil that I don’t want to do.

So sin still dwells in my mortal body, but by your grace, father, that is no longer me. For I am delivered from this body of death through Jesus Christ my Lord.

By your gift of salvation, father, through Christ, I am called, justified, and sanctified. My mind is renewed, and with my mind I serve you, father.
