But I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that I often intended to come to you (and was prevented until now), so that I might have some fruit also among you, even as among the other Gentiles.

Because, although knowing God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were they thankful, but became vain in their reasonings and their heart was darkened without understanding.

Who, knowing the righteousness of God, that those who commit such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but also favor those who do.

But according to thy hardness, and thy impenitent heart, thou store up wrath to thyself in the day of wrath, and revelation, and righteous judgment of God,

but to those of self-interest, and who indeed disobey the truth but have confidence in unrighteousness--anger and wrath,

but glory and esteem and peace to every man who works good, both to the Jew first, and to the Greek.

For the hearers of the law are not righteous with God, but the doers of the law will be made righteous.

For circumcision is indeed beneficial if thou perform law, but if thou are a transgressor of law, thy circumcision has become uncircumcision.

but he is a Jew in what is hidden, and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit not a document, whose praise is not from men but from God.

May it not happen! But let it come to pass God is true, but every man a liar, as it is written, That thou may ever be justified in thy words, and may prevail when thou are criticized.

But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous inflicting wrath? (I speak according to a man.)

But now a righteousness of God has been manifested independent of law, being witnessed by the law and the prophets.

Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what law, of works? No, but by a law of faith.

For if Abraham was made righteous from works, he has a boast, but not before God.

Now to the man being employed, the wage is not reckoned according to grace, but according to obligation.

But to the man not being employed, but who believes in him who makes the impious man righteous, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

How then was it reckoned? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

and father of those of circumcision, to those not only of circumcision, but also to those who march in the steps of faith--of that during the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.

For the promise to Abraham or to his seed, for him to be heir of the world, was not through law, but through a righteousness of faith.

Because of this it is from faith, so that it is according to grace, in order for the promise to be sure to all the seed, not only to the seed from the law, but also to the seed from the faith of Abraham, who is father of us all

And he did not waver in unbelief at the promise of God, but became strong in faith, giving glory to God,

but also because of us to whom it is going to be imputed, to those who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

And not only so, but we also take pride in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance,

But God commends his love toward us, that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

And not only so, but also taking pride in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

For until law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

But in this way also, the gift is not as the transgression. For if by the trespass of the one man the many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift in grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many.

And the gift is not as through one man who sinned, for indeed the judgment from one man was for condemnation, but the gift from many offenses is for righteousness.

And the law entered so that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace was more abundant,

For that he died, he died to sin once, but that he lives, he lives to God.

So also ye, reckon yourselves to be indeed dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And do not present your body-parts as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God, as living out of the dead, and your body-parts as instruments of righteousness to God,

for sin will not have dominion over you. For ye are not under law, but under grace.

What then? May we sin, because we are not under law but under grace? May it not happen!

But thanks to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but ye obeyed from the heart a model of doctrine for which ye were delivered.

But now having been made free from sin, and having become servile to God, ye have your fruit for sanctification, and the end, eternal life.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

For the woman under authority to the living husband has been bound by law, but if the husband should die, she has been released from the law of the husband.

So then, of the living husband, she will be called an adulteress if she becomes to another man, but if the husband should die, she is free from the law, for her not to be an adulteress having become to another man.

But now we have been released from the law, having died to what we were held, so as for us to serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of a document.

But sin, having taken opportunity through the commandment, wrought in me every evil desire, for apart from law sin is dead.

And I was alive once apart from law, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, having been sold under sin.

For I do not understand what I do, for I do not do this that I want, but what I hate, this I do.

But if I do this that I do not want, I agree with the law that it is good.

But now I no longer perform it, but the sin dwelling in me.

For I know that good does not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, for to will is present in me, but to do the good, I find not.

But if I do this that I do not want, I no longer perform it, but sin dwelling in me.

but I see a different law in my body-parts, warring against the law of my mind, and taking me captive in the law of sin, which is in my body-parts.

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then, I of myself in the mind indeed serve a law of God, but in the flesh a law of sin.

Consequently nothing is condemnation now to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to flesh but according to Spirit.

so that the justice of the law might be fulfilled in us, those who walk not according to flesh, but according to Spirit.

For those who are according to flesh think about the things of the flesh, but those according to Spirit the things of the Spirit.

For the mentality of the flesh is death, but the mentality of the Spirit is life and peace.

But ye are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, this man is not of him.

And if Christ is in you, the body is indeed dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up the Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwells in you.

For if ye live according to flesh, ye are going to die, but if in spirit ye kill the deeds of the body, ye will live.

For ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye received a spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

For the creation was made subject to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it in hope.

And not only so, but also ourselves who have the first fruit of the Spirit. And we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

For we were saved to hope. But hope that is seen is not hope. For what is seen, why also hope for that?

But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait through patience.

And likewise also the Spirit helps our weaknesses, for we know not what we would pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.

He who did not even spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how will he not also give us all things with him?

Who is he who will condemn? It is Christ who died, but more, who also was raised up, who also is at the right hand of God, who also appeals for us.

But in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

But it is not as that the word of God has failed. For all those from Israel, these are not Israel,

And not only so, but also Rebecca having bed from one man, our father Isaac

(for not yet having been born, nor having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to selection might remain, not from works, but from him who calls),

As it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I regarded inferior.

So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who is merciful.

even us whom he called, not only from Jews but also from Gentiles.

But Israel who pursued a law of righteousness, did not arrive to a law of righteousness.

Why? Because it was not from faith but as from works of law. For they stumbled at the stone of stumbling,

For I testify to them that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

But the righteousness from faith says thus: Thou should not say in thy heart, Who will ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down)

But what does it say? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that is, the word of faith that we preach:

But not all were obedient to the good-news, for Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report?

But I say, did they, no, not hear? Rather, Their voice went forth into all the earth, and their sayings to the limits of the inhabited world.

But I say, did Israel, no, not know? First Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy toward a non-nation. Toward a foolish nation, I will make you angry.

But to Israel he says, The whole day I stretched forth my hands to a disobedient and rebellious people.

But what does the divine response say to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed a knee to Baal.

And if it is by grace, it is no longer from works, otherwise grace becomes no longer grace. But if it is from works it is no longer grace, otherwise work is no longer work.

What then? What Israel seeks, this it did not obtain. But the chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened,

I say then, did they stumble so that they would fall? May it not happen! But in their transgression, salvation is to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy.

do not boast against the branches. But if thou boast, thou do not bear the root, but the root thee.

Correct! They were broken off for their unbelief, and thou stand by thy faith. Be not high-minded but fear,

Behold therefore the goodness and the severity of God. Indeed toward those who fell, severity, but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness, otherwise thou too will be cut off.

They are indeed enemies toward the good-news for your sake, but toward selection, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.

For as ye once were also disobedient to God, but now have received mercy at the disobedience of these,

And be not conformed to this age, but be ye transformed by the renewal of your mind, for ye to approve what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to over think beyond what he ought to think, but to think so as to think soundly, as God has apportioned to each man a measure of faith.

thinking the same way toward each other, not thinking on lofty things, but accommodating to the lowly. Become not wise according to yourselves,

not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath, for it is written, Vengeance is for me, I will repay, says Lord.

Be thou not overcome by evil, but overcome evil by good.

For rulers are not a source of fear to the good works, but to the evil. And do thou desire not to fear the office of authority? Do what is good, and thou will have praise from it.

For he is a helper of God to thee for what is good. But if thou do what is evil, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is a helper of God, vengeful for wrath to the man who commits evil.

Therefore there is a need to be subordinate, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience.

But clothe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no forethought for lusts of the flesh.
