And since you have been freed from sin, you have become slaves of righteousness.

what benefit had you then in those things whereof you are now ashamed? since they terminated all in death.

But now since you have been set free from sin and have become [willing] slaves to God, you have your benefit, resulting in sanctification [being made holy and set apart for God’s purpose], and the outcome [of this] is eternal life.

Since I am speaking to those who understand law, brothers, are you unaware that the law has authority over someone as long as he lives?

But now we have been released from the law, since we have died to what held us, so that we may serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old letter of the law.

But sin seized the opportunity provided by this commandment and produced in me all kinds of sinful desires, since apart from the Law, sin is dead.

What the law could not do since it was limited by the flesh, God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending His own Son in flesh like ours under sin’s domain, and as a sin offering,

so that the requirement of the Law might be fully met in our case, since we live not on the physical but on the spiritual plane.

You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God lives in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

And if children, then heirs-heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ, since we share Christ's sufferings in order that we may also share his Glory.

In the same way, the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, since we do not know how to pray as we should. But the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words,

and He who searches the human heart knows what is in the mind of the Spirit, since the Spirit pleads before God for the saints.

God did not withhold His own Son [from dying], but offered Him up for all of us. [Since He did that], will He not, along with Jesus, freely give us everything [else] also?

I am telling [you] the truth in Christ [i.e., since I am a Christian]; I am not lying. My conscience, [confirmed] by the Holy Spirit, supports my statements [as true],

Since he is completing and finishing quickly a matter in righteousness, because a matter that has been cut short upon the earth, Lord will perform.

for there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, since the same Lord of all is rich to all who call on Him.

But if by grace, no longer of works: since otherwise grace is no more grace.

For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;

lest God should not spare you, since he did not spare even the natural branches.

Behold then the goodness and severity of God: upon them who have fallen, severity; upon thee goodness of God, if thou shalt abide in goodness, since otherwise thou also wilt be cut away.

nay, even the Jews, if they don't continue still incredulous, shall be grafted in: since divine power can graft them in again.

For you [Gentiles] were cut off from a natural wild olive tree and [then], contrary to the natural process, were grafted into a cultivated olive tree. [Since that has happened], how much more likely is it for these [Jews], who are the natural branches, to be grafted [back] into their own olive tree [again]?

since God’s gracious gifts and calling are irrevocable.

But since we have special gifts which differ in accordance with the diversified work graciously entrusted to us, if it is prophecy, let the prophet speak in exact proportion to his faith;

And for this reason you pay taxes, since the authorities are God’s public servants, continually attending to these tasks.

And this, since we know the time, that it is already high time for us to awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we became believers.

He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord. He who eats, eats for the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; while he who abstains, abstains for the Lord and gives thanks to God.

why then dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou think contemptibly of thy brother? since we shall all of us be brought before the judgment-seat of Christ.

Since then every one of us shall give an account of himself to God;

But now, with no further place for work in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to come to you—

Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom has not known God, God has been pleased by the foolishness of the preaching to save those that believe.

Since Jews indeed ask for signs, and Greeks seek wisdom;

But the unbeliever does not welcome what comes from God’s Spirit, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to understand it since it is evaluated spiritually.

I fed you with milk and not with solid food, since for this you were not yet strong enough. And even now you are not strong enough:

because you are still fleshly. For since there is envy and strife among you, are you not fleshly and living like unbelievers?

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, since it is written: He catches the wise in their craftiness;

So let no one boast about human beings, since everything belongs to you,

for though you may have ten thousand christian preceptors, you cannot have many fathers; since it was I that first instructed you in the gospel of Christ Jesus:

Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch. You are indeed unleavened, for Christ our Passover has been sacrificed.

not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the avaricious and rapacious, or idolaters, since then ye should go out of the world.

"meat is design'd for the belly, and the belly for meat:" true, yet God has design'd both for destruction. now the body is not design'd for licentiousness, but for the glory of the Lord; since the Lord died for the glorification of the body:

For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother; since otherwise indeed your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

[Since] you people were bought for a price [i.e., the blood of Christ], do not become slaves to [other] people.

About unmarried women I have no command from the Lord, but I will give you my opinion as of one who is trustworthy, since I have had mercy shown me by the Lord.

For also since there are things called gods, whether in heaven or on the earth, as there are many gods and many lords,

Since we, then, sowed spiritual seed for you, is it too much that we should reap from you an earthly harvest?

For since I am free from all I can make myself a slave to all, in order to gain even more people.

Since there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; we, all of us, share in that one loaf.

Every man who prays or prophesies [i.e., speaks in a public assembly, since prophecy was always for the benefit of others] with his [physical] head covered [Note: The Greek word here denotes "something hanging down" and could refer to long hair or a cloth shawl], shows disrespect for his head [i.e., Christ].

But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since that is one and the same as having her head shaved.

If a woman will not wear a veil, let her also cut off her hair. But since it is a dishonor to a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her wear a veil.

For a man ought not to have a veil on his head, since he is the image and glory of God; while woman is the glory of man.

nor that hair is a woman's glory, since hair is given as a substitute for coverings.

Now in giving the following instruction I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse.

But since we are being judged, we are [also] being disciplined by the Lord, so that we do not have to be condemned along with the world.

If the foot says, "Since I'm not a hand, I'm not part of the body," that does not make it any less a part of the body, does it?

And if the ear says, "Since I'm not an eye, I'm not part of the body," that does not make it any less a part of the body, does it?

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I had the feelings of a child, I thought as a child; since I have become a man, I have put away the things of the child.

But now [i.e., since the temporary gifts are to pass away], these three things remain: faith, hope and love; and the most important of them is love.

For the person who speaks in another language is not speaking to men but to God, since no one understands him; however, he speaks mysteries in the Spirit.

Since there are perhaps, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without significance.

So also ye, since ye are zealous of spiritual gifts , seek that ye may abound unto the edifying of the church.

Since otherwise, if thou blessest with the spirit, how shall he who fills the place of the simple Christian say Amen, at thy giving of thanks, since he does not know what thou sayest?

since God is not a God of disorder but of peace.

As in all the churches of the saints,

Now brothers and sisters, let me remind you [once again] of the good news [of salvation] which I preached to you, which you welcomed and accepted and on which you stand [by faith].

And by means of which you are being saved. I would remind you of the very words that I used in telling it to you, since you are still holding fast to it, and since it was not in vain that you became believers in Christ.

For I am the very least of the apostles, unfit to bear the name of apostle, since I persecuted the church of God.

For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

Since what shall the baptised for the dead do if those that are dead rise not at all? why also are they baptised for them?

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, since you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

For I do not want to see you now in passing, since I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord allows.

Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you of the comfort.

And I wrote this very thing to you, so that when I came I would not have sadness from those who ought to make me rejoice, since I am confident in you all that my joy would be yours.

Now whomever you forgive [for doing] anything [wrong], I will forgive also. For indeed, whatever I have forgiven, if I have [actually] forgiven anything, has been for your sakes in the sight of Christ. [Note: Paul seems to be saying "Since my forgiveness depends on your forgiveness of the man, I am not sure of my forgiveness because I am not sure of yours"].

It is clear that you are Christ’s letter, produced by us, not written with ink but with the Spirit of the living God—not on stone tablets but on tablets that are hearts of flesh.

since that which distinguished the first had no glory, when compared to that of the other, which far excell'd it.

Since we have such a [glorious] hope and confident expectation, we speak with great courage,

But their understandings were blinded; for until this day, when the old covenant is read, the same veil remaineth, since it is not unveiled to them that it is done away in Christ;

And all of us, with faces uncovered, because we continue to reflect like mirrors the splendor of the Lord, are being transformed into likeness to Him, from one degree of splendor to another, since it comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

Therefore, since we have this ministry, just as we received mercy [from God, granting us salvation, opportunities, and blessings], we do not get discouraged nor lose our motivation.

And since we have the same spirit of faith in keeping with what is written, I believed, therefore I spoke, we also believe, and therefore speak.

So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable. Cross references: 2 Corinthians 4:6 : Gen 1:3 2 Corinthians 4:13 : Ps 116:10 end of crossrefs

For in this one we sigh, since we long to put on our heavenly dwelling.

since, when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.

For we groan while we are in this tent, since we are weighed down, because we do not want to be unclothed, but clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

Therefore, we are always confident, especially since we know that, while living in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

Therefore, since we know what it means to fear the Lord, we try to persuade people. We ourselves are perfectly known to God. I hope we are also really known to your consciences.

For Christ’s love compels us, since we have reached this conclusion: If One died for all, then all died.

So, from now on we will not regard any person by worldly standards, even though we [once] regarded Christ that way. But we will not regard Him [that way] anymore. [Note: Paul seems to be saying that before his conversion he viewed Christ on the basis of His family, His education, His position, etc., but since his conversion he does not view Him that way anymore].

Since, then, we are working with God, we plead with you not to accept God's grace in vain.

Therefore, since we have these [great and wonderful] promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, completing holiness [living a consecrated life—a life set apart for God’s purpose] in the fear of God.

Ever since we reached Macedonia, we have had no rest in body or mind; on every side there have been troubles--conflicts without, anxieties within.

For even if I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it—even though I did regret it since I saw that the letter grieved you, yet only for a little while.

Since then indeed I wrote to you, not on account of the one having done the wrong, nor on account of the one having suffered the wrong, but in order that your zeal, which is in our behalf to you before God, might be made manifest.

For if I have been doing some boasting about you to him, I have never been ashamed of it. Moreover, since everything we told you was true, our boasting to Titus has also proved to be true.

We did not expect that! They gave themselves to the Lord first and then to us, since this was God's will.

So here is my opinion on this matter: It is to your advantage, since you made a good start last year both in your giving and your desire to give,

because he not only accepted our request, but since he was very eager, he is coming to you of his own accord.

since we are careful of this, that no one should blame us in our management of this abundant liberality;
