because though they knew [there was] a God, they glorified him not as God, nor gave him thanks, but became triflers in their disputations, and their stupid heart was darkened.

for a demonstration of his justice at this present time: that he might be just, though justifying him who is of the faith of Jesus.

For what doth the scripture say? Abraham truly believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness.

Now to him that worketh, the reward is not brought to account as a favour, but as a debt.

But to him who doth not work, but believeth in him who justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned in account for righteousness.

How then was it imputed to him? when circumcised, or while uncircumcised? Not when circumcised, but whilst uncircumcised.

And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

Now it was not written for his sake only, that it was imputed to him;

but also for our sakes, to whom it will be imputed, if we believe in him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

Therefore much more, being justified already by his blood, shall we be saved by him from wrath.

Therefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death; even so death passed into all men through him, in whom all have sinned.

But death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even over those who have not sinned after the similitude of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of him that was to come.

We have been buried therefore with him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we should walk in newness of life.

For if we have been planted with him in the likeness of his death, so shall we be also of his resurrection:

knowing this, that our old man hath been crucified with him, that the body of sin might be abolished, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

But if we have been dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death over him hath no more dominion.

But if the Spirit of him who hath raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he who raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his indwelling Spirit in you.

But if children, then heirs; heirs indeed of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be we suffer with him, that we may also together with him be glorified.

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

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

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

(though the children were not yet born, nor had done any thing good or evil, that according to the election of God the purpose might abide, not from works, but from him who called;)

Well then, it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God who sheweth mercy.

Nay but, O man, who art thou that disputest against God? Shall the thing fashioned say to him that fashioned it, Why hast thou made me thus?

But what if God, willing to display his wrath, and to make known what is possible with him, hath borne with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted for perdition:

as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence: and every one that believeth in him shall not be confounded."

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

For the scripture saith, "Every one who believeth in him shall not be confounded."

For there is no difference between either Jew or Greek: for the same Lord of all is rich to all that call upon him.

How then shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? but how shall they hear without a preacher?

But what saith the oracle of God to him? "I have left to myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal."

Or who hath first given unto him, and it shall be repaid him again?

Because by him, and through him, and for him, are all things, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

or he that exhorteth, in exhortation; he that distributes, let him do it with simplicity; he that presideth, with diligence; he that is employed in acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

If therefore thine enemy hunger, give him food; if he thirst, give him drink: for so doing, thou shalt heap up coals of fire on his head.

for he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou doest that which is evil, tremble! for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, an avenger to inflict wrath on him that practises what is evil.

HIM that is weak in faith take by the hand, and enter not into niceties of disputes.

Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not, and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth; for God hath accepted him.

Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? To his own master he standeth or falleth; but he shall be established: for God is able to establish him.

I know, and am convinced by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who thinketh any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

But if by meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no more according to love. Do not by thy meat destroy him for whom Christ died.

And again, "Praise the Lord, all ye nations, and laud him, all ye people."

And again Isaiah saith, "There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that ariseth to reign over the Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust."

but as it is written, "To whom the tidings concerning him have not reached, they shall see, and they who have not heard, shall understand."
