1:2 He was with God in the beginning.
1:3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
1:4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men.
1:5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
1:6 There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John.
1:7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe.
1:8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
1:9 The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.
1:10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.
1:11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
8:2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.
8:3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man,
8:4 in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.
8:5 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
8:6 The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace;
8:7 the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.
8:8 Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.
8:9 You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
8:10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.
8:11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
