For God, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, is my witness, how incessantly I make mention of you,

I speak as a man. God forbid; for then how should God judge the world?

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

God forbid. How shall we who are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good, I find not.

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope; for what a man seeth, how doth he yet hope for?

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

But how shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him, of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

But how shall they preach, unless they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them who bring the good tidings of peace, who bring the glad tidings of good things!

God hath not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he pleadeth with God against Israel,

But if their fall be the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fulness?

For if thou wert cut off from the naturally wild olive-tree, and grafted contrary to nature into a good olive-tree; how much more shall these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive-tree?

O the depth of the riches, and wisdom, and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!
