  ¹⁴For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

  ¹⁵For I don’t know what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

  ¹⁶But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.

  ¹⁷So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

  ¹⁸For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good.

  ¹⁹For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practice.

  ²⁰But if what I don’t desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

  ²¹I find then the law that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.

  ²²For I delight in God’s law after the inward man,

  ²³but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.

  ²⁴What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

  ²⁵I thank God through Jesus Christ, our Lord! So then with the mind, I myself serve God’s law, but with the flesh, sin’s law.

  ¹There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

  ²For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

  ⁹Don’t take any gold, silver, or brass in your money belts.

  ¹⁰Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.

  ¹¹Into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy; and stay there until you go on.

  ¹²As you enter into the household, greet it.

  ¹³If the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it isn’t worthy, let your peace return to you.

  ¹⁴Whoever doesn’t receive you, nor hear your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet.

  ¹⁵Most certainly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
