Who are Israelites; to whom pertain the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;

Whose are the fathers, and from whom according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

Not as though the word of God hath taken no effect. For they are not all Israel, who are descendants from Israel?

That is, They who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

Thou wilt say then to me, Why doth he yet find fault? for who hath resisted his will?

No, but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

Even us whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles.

As he saith also in Hosea, I will call them My people, who were not my people; and her Beloved, who was not beloved.

What shall we say then? That the Gentiles who followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith:

But Israel, who followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is by the law, That the man who doeth these things shall live by them.

But the righteousness which is by faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down.)

Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring Christ again from the dead.)

How then 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 they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

But what saith the answer of God to him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.

If by any means I may incite to emulation them who are my flesh, and may save some of them.

Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them who fell, severity; but towards thee, goodness, if thou shalt continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counselor?

Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?

For from him, and by him, and to him are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

Bless them who persecute you; bless, and curse not.

Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not; and let not him who eateth not, judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth: and he shall be held up: for God is able to make him stand.

But if thy brother is grieved with thy food, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy food, for whom Christ died.

For the sake of food, destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offense.

But as it is written, They shall see to whom he was not spoken of: and they that have not heard shall understand.

For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who are at Jerusalem.

That I may be delivered from them in Judea who do not believe; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem, may be acceptable to the saints;

I commend to you Phebe our sister, who is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:

Who have for my life laid down their own necks: to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epenetus, who is the first-fruits of Achaia to Christ.

Greet Mary, who bestowed much labor on us.

Salute Andronicus and Junia my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them who are of Aristobulus' household.

Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that are of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.

Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labor in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, who labored much in the Lord.

Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren who are with them.

Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.

Who will also confirm you to the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God is faithful, by whom ye were called to the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

For it hath been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by them who are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God.

But to them who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who from God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord shall come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise from God.

For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

For this cause have I sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who will bring you into remembrance of my ways which are in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them who are puffed up, but the power.

And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

What? know ye not that he who is joined to a harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

And the woman who hath a husband that believeth not, and if he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband is dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

Yet to us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

For if any man shall see thee, who hast knowledge, sit eating in the idol's temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;

And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

Who goeth a warfare at any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of its fruit? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?

Do ye not know that they who minister about holy things live from the things of the temple, and they who wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?

Even so hath the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel should live by the gospel.

Know ye not, that they who run in a race, all run, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

Now all these things happened to them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they who eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the altar?

For there must be also heresies among you, that they who are approved may be made manifest among you.

And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God who worketh all in all.

For if the trumpet shall give an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for battle?

Wherefore languages are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them who believe.

After that he was seen by above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain to this present, but some have fallen asleep.

For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

And indeed we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified concerning God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not, if in truth the dead rise not.

Then they also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted who did put all things under him.

Else what will they do, who are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?

But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia:

Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them who are in any trouble by the consolation with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead:

Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us:

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me, and Silvanus, and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

Now he who establisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;

Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the spirit in our hearts.

For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same who is made sorry by me?

And I wrote this same to you, lest, coming I should have sorrow from them by whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes I forgave it, in the person of Christ;

Now thanks be to God, who always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savor of his knowledge by us in every place.

To the one we are the savor of death to death; and to the other the savor of life to life. And who is sufficient for these things?

For we are not as many, who corrupt the word of God: but as from sincerity, but as from God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

And not as Moses, who put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them who believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine to them.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined into our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
