May it not be! But let God be true, and every man a liar; as it has been written, "That Thou mayest be justified in Thy words; and mayest overcome, when Thou judgest."

as it has been written, "There is none righteous, no not one;

But now, apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

For, if those who are of the law are heirs, faith has been made void, and the promise has been brought to nought;

(as it has been written, "A father of many nations have I made you"), before God Whom he believed, Who maketh alive the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were;

who, past hope, believed against hope, to the end that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, "So shall your seed be."

Having been justified, therefore, by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

through Whom also we have had access by faith into this grace in which we have been standing; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

and hope makes not ashamed; because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the holy Spirit, Who was given to us.

For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son; much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by His life;

for he that died has been justified from sin.

knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dieth no more; death no more has dominion over Him.

and, having been made free from sin, ye were made slaves of righteousness.

But now, having been made free from sin, and having been made slaves to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end eternal life;

For the married woman has been bound by law to the living husband; but, if the husband dies, she is loosed from the law of the husband.

But now we have been fully discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

As it has been written, "For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."

Even as it has been written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

And, as Isaiah has said before: "Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we would have become as Sodom, and been made like to Gomorrah."

as it has been written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a Stone of stumbling, and a Rock of offense; and he that believes on Him shall not be put to shame."

and how shall they preach, unless they are sent forth? As it has been written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of good things!"

Even so, then, at this present time also, a remnant, according to an election of grace, has been reserved.

as it has been written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this day."

Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, but you have been standing by faith. Do not cherish lofty thoughts; but fear.

and so all Israel shall be saved; even as it has been written, "There will come out of Zion the Deliverer; He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;

not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath of God: for it has been written, "Vengeance is Mine; I will recompense," saith the Lord.

Let every soul be in subjection to the authorities that are over him; for there is no authority, except from God; and the authorities that are have been appointed by God.

For it has been written, "As I live, saith the Lord, to Me every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess to God."

I know, and have been persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: except that to him who accounts anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

for even Christ pleased not Himself; but, as it has been written, "The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on Me."

and that the gentiles might glorify God for His mercy; as it has been written, "For this cause, I will confess to Thee among the gentiles; and to Thy name will I sing praise."

but, as it has been written, "Those shall see, to whom nothing was announced concerning Him; and those who have not heard shall understand."

whensoever I go to Spain (for I am hoping, in passing through, to see you, and to be sent on my way thither by you, if first I have been satisfied, in a measure, with your company);

Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who, indeed, are of note among the apostles, who have been in Christ longer than I.

Hath Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye immersed into the name of Paul?

For it has been written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning will I set aside."

that, even as it has been written, "He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."

but, as it has been written, "Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not, and that entered not into the heart of man??hatsoever things God prepared for those who love Him";

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it has been written, "He Who taketh the wise in their craftiness."

For I am conscious to myself of nothing; yet have I not thereby been justified; but He Who judges me is the Lord.

Now these things, brethren, I have, in a figure, transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye may learn not to go beyond the things which have been written; that no one be puffed up for the one against the other.

For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified in the brother; else your children are unclean; but as it is they are holy.

Was any one called, having been circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Has any one been called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

Have you become bound to a wife? Seek not a release. Have you been loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

But this I say, brethren, the time has been shortened; that henceforth both those who have wives may be as though they had none;

But he who has been standing steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has authority respecting his own will, and has determined this in his own heart, that he will keep his own virgin daughter, will do well.

but, if anyone loves God, the same has been known by Him:

For in the law of Moses it has been written, "You shall not muzzle an ox while treading out the grain." Doth God care for the oxen?

For, if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but, if unwillingly, I have been entrusted with a stewardship.

Neither become ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it has been written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."

In the law it has been written, "With other tongues, and with lips of others, I will speak to this people; and not even thus will they listen to Me," saith the Lord.

Now I make known to you, brethren, the Gospel which I proclaimed to you, which also ye received, in which also ye have been standing;

and that He was buried, and that He hath been raised on the third day according to the Scriptures;

Now if Christ is preached, that He hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead.

But, if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised;

and, if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, and vain is your faith;

For, if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised;

and, if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins!

But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the First fruit of those who have fallen asleep.

for He put all things in subjection under His feet. But, when He saith, "All things have been put in subjection," it is evident that He is excepted, Who subjected all things to Him.

So also it has been written, "The first man Adam was a living soul"; the last Adam, a life-giving Spirit.

And, when this corruptible shall put on incorruption, and this mortal shall put on immortality, then will come to pass the saying that has been written, "Death was swallowed up in victory."

Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are helpers of your joy; for by faith ye have been standing.

Now, having come to Troas for the Gospel of Christ, and a door having been opened to me in the Lord,

For even that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, on account of the surpassing glory;

And, even if our Gospel has been veiled, it has been veiled in those who perish;

But, having the same spirit of faith, according to what has been written, "I believed, therefore did I speak"; we believe, therefore also we speak;

Knowing, therefore, the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; but to God we have been made manifest, and I hope that we have been made manifest also in your consciences.

Our mouth has been open to you, O Corinthians! our heart has been enlarged!

For this cause, we have been consoled; but, in our consolation, we rejoice the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

And we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God which has been bestowed in the assemblies of Macedonia;

as it has been written, "He that gathered much had nothing over; and he that gathered little had no lack."

for I know your readiness, of which I glory on your behalf to the Macedonians, that Achaia has been prepared for a year past; and your zeal stirred up the majority of them.

as it has been written, "He scattered abroad, he gave to the poor; his righteousness abides forever."

but, on the contrary, seeing that I had been entrusted with the Gospel of the uncircumcision, as Peter was with that of the circumcision;

I have been crucified with Christ; and no longer am I living, but Christ is living in me; and, in so far as I am now living in flesh, I live in the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me.

For as many as are of works of law are under a curse; for it has been written, "Cursed is every one who continues not in all the things written in the book of the law, to do them."

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; because it has been written, "Cursed is every one who is hung upon a tree";

What, then, is the law? It was added because of the transgressions, until the Seed should come to Whom it had been promised; having been arranged through angels in the hand of a mediator.

Is the law, then, against the promises of God? It could not be! For, if a law had been given, which was able to make alive, truly righteousness would have been by law;

but, after having known God, or rather having been known by God, how are ye turning back again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which ye desire to be in bondage again?

For it has been written that Abraham had two sons, one by the bond-woman, and one by the free-woman.

But the one by the bond-woman has been born after the flesh; and the one by the free-woman, through promise.

for it has been written, "Rejoice, O barren, that bear not! Break forth and cry, you that travail not! because many are the children of the desolate, rather than of her who has the husband."

But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? then the stumbling-block of the cross has been done away!

for the whole law has been fulfilled in one word, in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

in Whom we also were made a heritage, having been predestinated according to the purpose of Him Who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will;

the eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

even when we were dead in our offenses, made us alive with Christ (by grace ye have been saved),

For by grace ye have been saved through faith: and this, not of yourselves, it is the gift of God:

for we are His workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God before prepared, that we should walk in them.

having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the chief corner-stone;

and to plainly show what is the dispensation of the mystery which from the ages has been hidden away in God, Who made all things;

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that ye, having been rooted and grounded in love,

Not that I already obtained, or have already been made perfect; but I am pressing on, if I may lay hold of that for which I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

But I have all, and abound; I have been filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, an odor of sweet smell, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.

because in Him were all things created, in the heavens, and upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers??ll things have been created through Him, and for Him;

the mystery which has been hidden from the ages and from the generations, but was now made manifest to His saints;

having been rooted and being built up in Him, and being established in the faith as ye were taught, abounding with thanksgiving.

and ye have been made complete in Him, Who is the Head of all principality and power;
