having been ordained the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, from the resurrection of the dead, of Jesus Christ our Lord:

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

And as they did not approve to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are inappropriate;

For what if some did not believe? whether will their unbelief destroy the faith of God?

as it has been written, That I have constituted thee the father of many nations, before God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls things which are not as really existing:

and being not weak in faith, he considered not his body already dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb:

but on account of us also, to whom it is about to be imputed, who believe on him who raised up our Lord Jesus from the dead;

but death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even on those who did not sin after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the type of him who is to come.

But not as was the transgression, even so is the free gift: for if by the transgression of one many died, how much more by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, did the grace of God and the gift abound unto many!

But the law came, that the transgression might abound; but where sin did abound, there did grace superabound:

It could not be so. How shall we, who are dead unto sin, live any longer in it?

Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death: in order that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so must we also walk in newness of life.

knowing that Christ having risen from the dead dies no more; death no longer has dominion over him.

So you also thus reckon yourselves dead unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ.

neither present your members arms of iniquity unto sin; but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members arms of righteousness unto God.

So, my brethren, ye are dead to the law through the body of Christ, that ye should be married to another, to him who is risen from the dead, in order that we may bring forth fruit unto God.

For when we were in carnality, the emotions of sins, which were through the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

But now we have been made free from the law, being dead in that in which we were held; so that we serve in the newness of the spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Then what shall we say? is the law sin? It could not be so; but I did not know sin except through the law: for indeed I had not known lusts, unless the law said, Thou shalt not covet.

But sin, taking occasion through the commandment, did work in me all concupiscence; for without law sin was dead.

Then did that which is good become death to me? it could not be so: but sin, that it may appear sin, through the good was working out death to me, in order that sin may be exceedingly sinful through the commandment.

But if Christ is in you, the body is dead so far as sin is concerned; but the Spirit is life so far as righteousness is concerned.

But if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one having raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also create life in your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who dwells in you.

For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but you received the Spirit of adoption, in which we cry; Father, Father.

Because whom he did foreknow, he did also predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:

and whom He did foreknow, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them He also glorified.

O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Whether shall the thing formed say to him that formed it. Why did you make me thus?

but Israel, following after the law, did not attain unto the law of righteousness.

or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring him up from the dead.

That if you may confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and may believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved:

Then I say, Did God cast away his people? it could not be so. For I am indeed an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

God did not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says in Elijah, how he makes intercession to God against Israel?

What then? Israel did not attain that which he was seeking, but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened:

Then I say; Whether did they stumble that they may fall? it could not be so: but by their fall, salvation came to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy.

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

For unto this Christ died, and lives, in order that He may be Lord of the dead and of the living.

for Christ did not please himself; but, as has been written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.

for I will not dare to speak anything save those things which Christ has wrought through me, unto the obedience of the Gentiles, in word and deed,
