ARE YOU STILL THE OLD WRETCHED MAN, OR ARE YOU RIGHTEOUS?

 ARE YOU STILL THE OLD WRETCHED MAN, OR ARE YOU RIGHTEOUS?

Romans 4:15 

Because The Law Worketh Wrath: For Where No Law Is, There Is No Transgression.

1 John 3:4 

Whosoever Committeth Sin Transgresseth Also The Law: For Sin Is The Transgression Of The Law.

1 Corinthians 15:56 

The Sting Of Death Is Sin; And The Strength Of Sin Is The Law.

Romans 3:20 

Therefore By The Deeds Of The Law There Shall No Flesh Be Justified In His Sight: For By The Law Is The Knowledge Of Sin.

Romans 7:8-21 

But Sin, Taking Occasion By The Commandment, Wrought In Me All Manner Of Concupiscence. For Without The Law Sin Was Dead. For I Was Alive Without The Law Once: But When The Commandment Came, Sin Revived, And I Died. And The Commandment, Which Was Ordained To Life, I Found To Be Unto Death. For Sin, Taking Occasion By The Commandment, Deceived Me, And By It Slew Me. Wherefore The Law Is Holy, And The Commandment Holy, And Just, And Good. Was Then That Which Is Good Made Death Unto Me? God Forbid. But Sin, That It Might Appear Sin, Working Death In Me By That Which Is Good; That Sin By The Commandment Might Become Exceeding Sinful. For We Know That The Law Is Spiritual: But I Am Carnal, Sold Under Sin. For That Which I Do I Allow Not: For What I Would, That Do I Not; But What I Hate, That Do I. If Then I Do That Which I Would Not, I Consent Unto The Law That It Is Good. Now Then It Is No More I That Do It, But Sin That Dwelleth In Me. For I Know That In Me (That Is, In My Flesh,) Dwelleth No Good Thing: For To Will Is Present With Me; But How To Perform That Which Is Good I Find Not. For The Good That I Would I Do Not: But The Evil Which I Would Not, That I Do. Now If I Do That I Would Not, It Is No More I That Do It, But Sin That Dwelleth In Me. I Find Then A Law, That, When I Would Do Good, Evil Is Present With Me.

Romans 8:1-4,9-10 

There Is Therefore Now No Condemnation To Them Which Are In Christ Jesus, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit For The Law Of The Spirit Of Life In Christ Jesus Hath Made Me Free From The Law Of Sin And Death. For What The Law Could Not Do, In That It Was Weak Through The Flesh, God Sending His Own Son In The Likeness Of Sinful Flesh, And For Sin, Condemned Sin In The Flesh: That The Righteousness Of The Law Might Be Fulfilled In Us, Who Walk Not After The Flesh, But After The Spirit. 

[9] BUT YE ARE NOT IN THE FLESH, BUT IN THE SPIRIT, IF SO BE THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELL IN YOU. NOW 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.

Romans 6:14,17-18,20,22-23 

For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: For Ye Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace. 

[17] But God Be Thanked, That Ye Were The Servants Of Sin, But Ye Have Obeyed From The Heart That Form Of Doctrine Which Was Delivered You. Being Then Made Free From Sin, Ye Became The Servants Of Righteousness. 

[20] For When Ye Were The Servants Of Sin, Ye Were Free From Righteousness. But Now Being Made Free From Sin, And Become Servants To God, Ye Have Your Fruit Unto Holiness, And The End Everlasting Life. For The Wages Of Sin Is Death; But The Gift Of God Is Eternal Life Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

1 John 3:5-9 

And Ye Know That He Was Manifested To Take Away Our Sins; And In Him Is No Sin. Whosoever Abideth In Him Sinneth Not: Whosoever Sinneth Hath Not Seen Him, Neither Known Him. Little Children, Let No Man Deceive You: He That Doeth Righteousness Is Righteous, Even As He Is Righteous. He That Committeth Sin Is Of The Devil; For The Devil Sinneth From The Beginning. For This Purpose The Son Of God Was Manifested, That He Might Destroy The Works Of The Devil.  Whosoever Is Born Of God Doth Not Commit Sin; For His Seed Remaineth In Him: And He Cannot Sin, Because He Is Born Of God.
