American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
For the good which I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I practise.
Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and righteously and unblamably we behaved ourselves toward you that believe:
Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
But thou didst follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, {Or, stedfastness}patience,
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him.
And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him:
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through {Or, his eternal spirit}the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish unto God, cleanse {Many ancient authorities read our.}your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.
