| That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God. | So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. |

Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? | What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? |
