Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, having been separated to the good news of God --

For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it hath been written, 'And the righteous one by faith shall live,'

having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers,

for the name of God because of you is evil spoken of among the nations, according as it hath been written.

let it not be! and let God become true, and every man false, according as it hath been written, 'That Thou mayest be declared righteous in Thy words, and mayest overcome in Thy being judged.'

according as it hath been written -- 'There is none righteous, not even one;

And now apart from law hath the righteousness of God been manifested, testified to by the law and the prophets,

for if they who are of law are heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless;

who is father of us all (according as it hath been written -- 'A father of many nations I have set thee,') before Him whom he did believe -- God, who is quickening the dead, and is calling the things that be not as being.

and not having been weak in the faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead, (being about a hundred years old,) and the deadness of Sarah's womb,

and having been fully persuaded that what He hath promised He is able also to do:

Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

and the hope doth not make ashamed, because the love of God hath been poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that hath been given to us.

much more, then, having been declared righteous now in his blood, we shall be saved through him from the wrath;

for if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in his life.

for he who hath died hath been set free from the sin.

knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead, doth no more die, death over him hath no more lordship;

and having been freed from the sin, ye became servants to the righteousness.

And now, having been freed from the sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit -- to sanctification, and the end life age-during;

for the married woman to the living husband hath been bound by law, and if the husband may die, she hath been free from the law of the husband;

(according as it hath been written -- 'For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long, we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter,')

according as it hath been written, 'Jacob I did love, and Esau I did hate.'

and according as Isaiah saith before, 'Except the Lord of Sabaoth did leave to us a seed, as Sodom we had become, and as Gomorrah we had been made like.'

according as it hath been written, 'Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.'

and how shall they preach, if they may not be sent? according as it hath been written, 'How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the good things!'

So then also in the present time a remnant according to the choice of grace there hath been;

according as it hath been written, 'God gave to them a spirit of deep sleep, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear,' -- unto this very day,

and so all Israel shall be saved, according as it hath been written, 'There shall come forth out of Sion he who is delivering, and he shall turn away impiety from Jacob,

not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, 'Vengeance is Mine,

for it hath been written, 'I live! saith the Lord -- to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;'

and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, hath been condemned, because it is not of faith; and all that is not of faith is sin.

for even the Christ did not please himself, but, according as it hath been written, 'The reproaches of those reproaching Thee fell upon me;'

and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it hath been written, 'Because of this I will confess to Thee among nations, and to Thy name I will sing praise,'

And I am persuaded, my brethren -- I myself also -- concerning you, that ye yourselves also are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, able also one another to admonish;

but according as it hath been written, 'To whom it was not told concerning him, they shall see; and they who have not heard, shall understand.'

salute Andronicus and Junias, my kindred, and my fellow-captives, who are of note among the apostles, who also have been in Christ before me.

And to Him who is able to establish you, according to my good news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the secret, in the times of the ages having been kept silent,

and now having been made manifest, also, through prophetic writings, according to a command of the age-during God, having been made known to all the nations for obedience of faith --
