Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to immorality, [that] their bodies would be dishonored among themselves,

For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants, [that] he would be heir of the world, [was] not through the law, but through the righteousness by faith.

so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

What then shall we say? [Is] the law sin? May it never be! But I would not have known sin except through the law, for I would not have known covetousness if the law had not said, "Do not covet."

in order that the requirement of the law would be fulfilled in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

And just as Isaiah foretold, "If the Lord of hosts had not left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom and would have resembled Gomorrah."

But if by grace, [it is] no longer by works, for otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
