who was of the seed of David, according to the flesh, But declared the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead,

Because knowing God, they did not glorify him as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their reasonings, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Who knowing the righteous judgment of God, that they who do such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in those that do them.

But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up to thyself wrath in the day of wrath, and revelation, and righteous judgment of God?

But to them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, shall be indignation and wrath,

But glory, honour, and peace shall be to every one who worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile.

For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

Circumcision indeed profiteth, if thou keepest the law; but if thou art a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.

But he is a Jew, who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is not God unjust, who taketh vengeance?

But if the truth of God hath abounded to his glory through my lie, why am I still judged as a sinner?

But the righteousness of God without the law is now manifested, being attested by the law and the prophets,

Nay, but by the law of faith. We conclude then, that a man is justified by faith, without the works of the law.

If Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory: but he hath not in the sight of God.

Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is imputed to him for righteousness.

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

And the father of the circumcision, to them who not only are of the circumcision, but also walk in the footsteps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.

For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham or to his seed by the law, but by the righteousness of faith.

Therefore it is of faith, that it might be of grace, that the promise might be firm to all the seed; not only to that which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, (As it is written,

He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,

But on ours also, to whom it will be imputed, if we believe on him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead.

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also,

But God recommendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

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

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

And not as the loss by one that sinned, so is the gift; for the sentence was by one offence to condemnation; but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.

But the law came in between, that the offence might abound: yet where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

For in that he died, he died to sin once for all; but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

Neither present your members to sin, as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members to God, as instruments of righteousness.

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

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

But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were the servants of sin, ye have now obeyed from the heart the form of doctrine into which ye have been delivered.

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

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

For the married woman is bound to her husband while he is alive; but if her husband be dead, she is freed from the law of her husband.

Therefore if she marry another man while her husband liveth, she will be called an adultress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law, so as to be no adultress, though she marry another man.

But now we are freed from the law, that whereby we were held being dead, so that we serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

What shall we say then? That the law is sin? God forbid. Yea, I should not have known sin, but for the law. I had not known lust, unless the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

But sin taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of desire: for without the law sin was dead.

And I was once alive without the law; but when the commandment came,

Was then that which is good made death to me? God forbid: But sin: so that it appeared sin, working death in me by that which is good: so that sin might by the commandment become exceeding sinful.

We know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.

For that which I do I approve not; for what I would, I do not, but what I hate, that I do.

Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good, I find not.

For the good that I would, I do not; but the evil which I would not, that I do.

Now, if I do that which I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and captivating me to the law of sin, which is in my members.

Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself with my mind serve the law of God, but with my flesh the law of sin.

Therefore there is now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

They that are after the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

Now to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace:

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if the Spirit of God dwell in you. And if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Now if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because of righteousness.

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if ye through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the flesh, ye shall live.

For ye have not received the Spirit of bondage again unto fear, but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

For the creation was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by him who subjected it,

And not only they, but even we ourselves, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope; for what a man seeth, how doth he yet hope for?

But if we hope for what we see not, we patiently wait for it.

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us, with groanings which cannot be uttered.

But he who searcheth the hearts, knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit: for he maketh intercession for the saints, according to God.

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Neither because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children, but in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

That is, not the children of the flesh are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

And not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man,

our father Isaac, The children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil (that the purpose of God according to election might stand not of works, but of him that called,) It was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger.

It is not therefore of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

But thou wilt say to me, Why doth he still find fault?

For who hath resisted his will? Nay, but who art thou, O man, that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

Even us whom he hath called, not only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles:

But Israel following after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

Wherefore? Because they sought it, not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law: for they stumbled at that stumbling stone;

For I bear them record, that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

But the righteousness which is by faith speaketh thus: Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven, (that is, to bring Christ down:)

(that is, to bring Christ again from the dead) But what saith he? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart; that is, the word of faith which we preach:

But how shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him, of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

But how shall they preach, unless they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them who bring the good tidings of peace, who bring the glad tidings of good things!

But all have not obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily; their voice is gone into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

But I say, Hath not Israel known? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are not a nation; by a foolish nation I will anger you.

But Isaiah is very bold and saith, I was found by them that sought me not: I was made manifest to them that asked not after me.

But what saith the answer of God to him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.

But if by grace, then it is no more of works: else grace is no longer grace. And if it be of works, then it is no more grace; else work is no longer work.

What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh, but the election hath obtained, and the rest were blinded.

I say then, Have they stumbled so as to fall? God forbid. But by their fall salvation is come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.

But if their fall be the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fulness?

For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what will the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

Boast not against the branches, but if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

Be not high-minded, but fear. For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed left he also spare not thee.

Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God! Toward them that fell severity; but toward thee goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: else shalt thou also be cut off.

With regard to the gospel, they are enemies for your sake; but as for the election, they are beloved, for the sake of their fathers.

As then ye were once disobedient to God, but have now obtained mercy through their disobedience:

And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.

And I say, through the grace which is given to me, to every one that is among you, not to think of himself above what he ought to think, but to think soberly, according to the measure of faith which God hath distributed to every one.

Mind not high, but condescend to low things. Be not wise in your own conceit. Render to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

Dearly beloved, revenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Be not overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good.
