Roma 6:12

6:12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires,

Roma 6:22

6:22 But now, freed ¹  from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit ²  leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life.

Roma 7:25

7:25 Thanks be ³  to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, ⁴  I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but ⁵  with my flesh I serve ⁶  the law of sin.

Roma 8:4

8:4 so that the righteous requirement of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

[6:22]  ¹ tn The two aorist participles translated “freed” and “enslaved” are causal in force; their full force is something like “But now, since you have become freed from sin and since you have become enslaved to God….”

[6:22]  ² tn Grk “fruit.”

[7:25]  ³ tc ‡ Most mss (א* A 1739 1881 Ï sy) read “I give thanks to God” rather than “Now thanks be to God” (א¹ [B] Ψ 33 81 104 365 1506 pc), the reading of NA²⁷. The reading with the verb (εὐχαριστῶ τῷ θεῷ, eucaristw tw qew) possibly arose from a transcriptional error in which several letters were doubled (TCGNT 455). The conjunction δέ (de, “now”) is included in some mss as well (א¹ Ψ 33 81 104 365 1506 pc), but it should probably not be considered original. The ms support for the omission of δέ is both excellent and widespread (א* A B D 1739 1881 Ï lat sy), and its addition can be explained as an insertion to smooth out the transition between v. 24 and 25.

[7:25]  ⁴ tn There is a double connective here that cannot be easily preserved in English: “consequently therefore,” emphasizing the conclusion of what he has been arguing.

[7:25]  ⁵ tn Greek emphasizes the contrast between these two clauses more than can be easily expressed in English.

[7:25]  ⁶ tn The words “I serve” have been repeated here for clarity.
