We know ¹  that since Christ has been raised from the dead, he is never going to die ²  again; death no longer has mastery over him.

For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers together until now.

and I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of Christ’s blessing.

For I long to see you, so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift ¹  to strengthen you,

Now we know that God’s judgment is in accordance with truth ¹  against those who practice such things.

Not ¹  only this, but we also rejoice in sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,

For we know that the law is spiritual – but I am unspiritual, sold into slavery to sin. ¹ 

Do you not know that if you present yourselves ¹  as obedient slaves, ²  you are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or obedience resulting in righteousness? ³ 

And he ¹  who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit ²  intercedes on behalf of the saints according to God’s will.

And we know that all things work together ¹  for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose,

And do this ¹  because we know ²  the time, that it is already the hour for us to awake from sleep, for our salvation is now nearer than when we became believers.

I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean in itself; still, it is unclean to the one who considers it unclean.

Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under ¹  the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world may be held accountable to God.

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! Certainly, I ¹  would not have known sin except through the law. For indeed I would not have known what it means to desire something belonging to someone else ²  if the law had not said, “Do not covet.” ³ 

For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For I want to do the good, but I cannot do it. ¹ 

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how we should pray, ¹  but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.

God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew! Do you not know what the scripture says about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?

Notice therefore the kindness and harshness of God – harshness toward those who have fallen, but ¹  God’s kindness toward you, provided you continue in his kindness; ²  otherwise you also will be cut off.
