as David also speaketh of the blessedness of the man whom God accepteth as righteous without works: "Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whom the Lord shall not charge with sin." Doth this blessedness belong to the circumcised alone, or to the uncircumcised also? For we are saying that Abrahams faith was accounted as righteousness. How then was it so accounted? After his circumcision, or while he was uncircumcised? Not after he was circumcised, but while he was uncircumcised. And he received the outward sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was uncircumcised; that he might be the father of all the uncircumcised who have faith, so that righteousness might be put to their account also; and that he might be the father of the circumcised, who are not circumcised merely, but who tread in the steps of that faith which our father Abraham had while yet uncircumcised. For not through the Law was the promise made to Abraham or his offspring that he should be the heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.

But the free gift was not as the transgression. For if through the offence of the one the many died, much more hath the grace of God, and the gift which is by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ, abounded to the many. And the free gift is not like what happened through one man who sinned. For sentence of condemnation followed one offence; but the free gift is a justification after many offences. For if by one trespass death reigned through the one man, much more will they who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.)

Shall affliction or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?read more.
As it is written, "For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we were accounted as sheep for slaughter." Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors, through him that loved us.

For we through the Spirit by faith steadfastly wait for the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working by love. Ye were running well; who hindered you, that ye should not obey the truth? This persuasion came not from him that called you. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. I indeed have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be no otherwise minded; but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whoever he may be. But as for me, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then hath the cross ceased to be a stumblingblock. Would that they who unsettle you would quite cut themselves off! For ye, brethren, were called to liberty; only use not your liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by your love serve one another. For the whole Law is fulfilled in one commandment, even in this "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." But if ye bite and devour one another, beware lest ye be consumed by one another. But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and ye will not fulfill the desires of the flesh. For the flesh hath desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these oppose one another, that ye may not do the things that ye would. But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the Law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest; such as fornication, uncleanness, wantonness, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strife, rivalry, outbursts of wrath, cabals, divisions, factions, envyings, drunkenness, revelings, and things like these; of which I tell you beforehand, as I also told you in time past, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, temperance; against such things as these there is no law. And they who belong to Christ Jesus crucified the flesh with the passions and lusts. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
