for all have sinned and are made destitute of the glory of God,

Therefore, I beseech you brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies in living sacrifice, holy, well pleasing unto God, which is your rational worship.

And we now know that unto those who love God, all things help them unto good, to those who according to the purpose are called to be saints.

And be not conformed to this age, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your soul that ye may experience what is that good and well pleasing and perfect will of God.

For the wages of sin is death, but the grace of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

But God increased the price of his charity toward us in that while we were yet sinners the Christ died for us.

Justified therefore by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus, the Christ,

So that now, there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ, Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

Know ye not that all of us that are baptized into Jesus the Christ are baptized into his death?

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?

For unto those whom he knew beforehand, he also marked out beforehand the way that they might be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

And likewise also the Spirit helps our weakness; for we know not how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit itself makes entreaty for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Therefore I am certain that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor things to come

For all that are led by the Spirit of God, the same are sons of God.

What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who shall be against us?

For we are buried with him by baptism into death, that just as the Christ was raised up from the dead to the glory of the Father, likewise we also walk in newness of life.

For I know with certainty that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the coming glory which shall be manifested in us.

For this cause God gave them up unto shameful affections, for even their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature;

among whom ye are also the called of Jesus Christ;

For the Christ, when we were yet weak, in his time died for the ungodly.

Therefore I say through the grace given unto me, to all those that are among you not to obtain more knowledge than is prudent to know, but to obtain knowledge with temperance, each one according to the measure of faith that God has dealt.

of his Son (who was born unto him of the seed of David according to the flesh,

For the same Spirit bears witness unto our spirit that we are sons of God,

being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Jesus, the Christ,

Paul, slave of Jesus, the Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God

Let love be without dissimulation, abhorring that which is evil, causing you to come unto that which is good;

And dost thou think this, O man, that judgest those who do such things and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

(for the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand: not of works, but of him that calls),

And not only this, but we even glory in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation works patience;

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

Who shall separate us from the charity of Christ? shall tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I always remember you in my prayers,

And I beseech you, brethren, mark those who cause dissensions and offences outside of the doctrine which ye have learned, and avoid them.

Owe no one anything, but love one unto another; for he that loves his neighbour has fulfilled the law.

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments and his ways past finding out!

And if the fall of them is the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles, how much more shall their fullness be?

For by the deeds of the law, no flesh shall be justified in his sight; for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

and the hope shall not be ashamed, because the love of God is poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us.

because having known God, they did not glorify him as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that many times I purposed to come unto you (but up until now I have been unable) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

First, I thank my God through Jesus, the Christ, regarding you all, that your faith is preached in all the world.

whom God purposed for reconciliation through faith in his blood for the manifestation of his righteousness, for the remission of sins that are past, by the patience of God,

Bear with the one who is sick in the faith, but not unto doubtful discernment.

Then much more now justified in his blood, we shall be saved from wrath by him.

Or dost thou despise the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, ignoring that the goodness of God leads thee to repentance?

And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised up the Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.

Not defending yourselves, dearly beloved; but rather give place unto the wrath of God, for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

For we now know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold unto subjection by sin.

Now we know that all that the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may submit themselves unto God.

What then? Are we better than they? No, in no wise; for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles that they are all under sin;

I commend unto you Phebe our sister, who is a servant of the congregation which is at Cenchrea,

For that which was impossible to the law, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh

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

For the prudence of the flesh is death, but the prudence of the Spirit, life and peace,

No, in no wise: for then how shall God judge the world?

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? No, in no wise. But, I did not know sin except by the law; for neither would I have known lust if the law did not say, Thou shalt not covet.

for the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Or know ye not that to whom ye present yourselves slaves to obey, his slaves ye are to whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death or of the obedience unto righteousness?

And not only they, but ourselves also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, that is to say, the redemption of our body.

No, in no wise: for God is true, and every man a liar; as it is written, That thou might be justified in thy words and might overcome when thou dost judge.

Not repaying anyone evil for evil; procuring that which is good not only in the sight of God, but even in the sight of all men.

Therefore, in the same manner that by the iniquity of one guilt came upon all men unto condemnation, even so by the righteousness of one, grace came upon all men unto justification of life.

For he that is dead died unto sin once, and he that lives, lives unto God.

sharing for the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.

But I am convinced regarding you, my brethren, that even without my exhortation ye are full of charity, full of all knowledge, so as to be able to admonish one another.
