Rom. 6:15-23 Eternal life is God’s gift

Romans 6:15-23 (King James Version)




15What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.



16Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?



17But 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.



18Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.



19I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.



20For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.



21What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.



22But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.



23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.




Mt. 9:1-8 Jesus heals a paralytic
 
Matthew 9:1-8 (King James Version)




Matthew 9

1And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.



2And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.



3And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.



4And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?



5For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?



6But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.



7And he arose, and departed to his house.



8But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
