For God is my witness whom I serve in my spirit in the good-news of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,

May it not happen! Otherwise how will God judge the world?

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

May it not happen! How will we who died to sin, still live in it?

He who did not even spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how will he not also give us all things with him?

How then will they call on whom they have not believed? And how will they believe of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without preaching?

And how will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who proclaim good news of peace, of those who proclaim good news of good things.

God did not thrust away his people whom he foreknew. Or know ye not what the scripture tells by Elijah? How he encounters God about Israel.

Now if their transgression is wealth of the world, and their failure is wealth of Gentiles, how much more their fullness?

For if thou were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural ones, be grafted into their own olive tree.

O the depth of wealth, both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways beyond finding out!
