for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose.

And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, and ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:

But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned:--

Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness;

Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the powers that be are ordained of God.

So belief cometh of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one;

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse:

Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

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

But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:

And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered;

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

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

We were buried therefore with him through baptism unto death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature:

among whom are ye also called to be Jesus Christ's:

For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that through patience and through comfort of the scriptures we might have hope.

But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

For while we were yet weak, in due season Christ died for the ungodly.

For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith.

concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,

The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:

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

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

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

And reckonest thou this, O man, who judgest them that practise such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

for the children being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth,

And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness;

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

making request, if by any means now at length I may be prospered by the will of God to come unto you.

For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith.

For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

that is, that I with you may be comforted in you, each of us by the other's faith, both yours and mine.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, 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, how unceasingly I make mention of you, always in my prayers

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them that are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned: and turn away from them.

Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law.

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

Now if their fall, is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for through the law cometh the knowledge of sin.

and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us.

because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened.

And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you (and was hindered hitherto), that I might have some fruit in you also, even as in the rest of the Gentiles.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.

whom God set forth to be a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God;

Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep.

Wherefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves:

And having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

But him that is weak in faith receive ye, yet not for decision of scruples.

because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them.

For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of this mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in;

For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him:

because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be:

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from the wrath of God through him.

For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office:

and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him , that we may be also glorified with him .

Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judges another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost practise the same things.

knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him , that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath of God : for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord.

For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it speaketh to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God:

What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin;

But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:

In love of the brethren be tenderly affectioned one to another; in honor preferring one another;

For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God.

even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe; for there is no distinction;

who is he that condemneth? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

I commend unto you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church that is at Cenchreae:

For what the law could not do, 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 spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?

For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit,

We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are in Rome.

for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead; even Jesus Christ our Lord,

who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or thou again, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.

For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life;

For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:

God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Howbeit, I had not known sin, except through the law: for I had not known coveting, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet:

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

Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves as'servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace.

for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Now to him that is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which hath been kept in silence through times eternal,

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

Brethren, my heart's desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved.

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

I say then, Did God cast off his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, hath found according to the flesh?

for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

And even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, to wit , the redemption of our body.

God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment.

For of him, and through him, and unto him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever. Amen.

rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing stedfastly in prayer;

Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.

Now we that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

Or are ye ignorant, brethren (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law hath dominion over a man for so long time as he liveth?

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men.

and so all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and severally members one of another.

Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honorable in the sight of all men.

So then as through one trespass the judgment came unto all men to condemnation; even so through one act of righteousness the free gift came unto all men to justification of life.

One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike . Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.

And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we first believed.

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy.

For if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; much more shall they that receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.

For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me, but to do that which is good is not.

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh:

For that which I do I know not: for not what I would, that do I practise; but what I hate, that I do.

(for when Gentiles that have not the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are the law unto themselves;

Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ salute you.

So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh:

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

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof:

through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;

To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be'saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one shall the many be made righteous.

Wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?

For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth.

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof .

But it is not as though the word of God hath come to nought. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel:

I have therefore my glorifying in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.

But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith; and whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

What advantage then hath the Jew? or what is the profit of circumcision?

And the law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly:

For what saith the scripture? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.

For if the casting away of them is the reconciling of the world, what'shall the receiving of them be , but life from the dead?

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge ye this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock in his brother's way, or an occasion of falling.

which he promised afore through his prophets in the holy scriptures,

For not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed that he should be heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.

Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus:

if by any means I may provoke to jealousy them that are my flesh, and may save some of them.

But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness.

and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Wherefore receive ye one another, even as Christ also received you, to the glory of God.

For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

for he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil.

who will render to every man according to his works:

and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!

For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

communicating to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality.

And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may edify one another.

Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy.

neither present your members unto sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope

But not as the trespass, so also is the free gift. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound unto the many.

Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfilment of the law.

But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered;

For the gifts and the calling of God are not repented of.

Be of the same mind one toward another. Set not your mind on high things, but condescend to things that are lowly. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth;

So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God.

in diligence not slothful; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;

and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due.

For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful:

Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt.

And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

And if the firstfruit is holy, so is the lump: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.

But I speak to you that are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;

(as it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, even God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were.

through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection;

For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without the law: and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;

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

Do we then make the law of none effect through faith? God forbid: nay, we establish the law.

But if thou bearest the name of a Jew, and restest upon the law, and gloriest in God,

it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.

Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye should be joined to another, even to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit unto God.

I say then, Did they stumble that they might fall? God forbid: but by their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.

and the commandment, which was unto life, this I found to be unto death:

For they that are such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent.

for sin, finding occasion, through the commandment beguiled me, and through it slew me.

Blessed is the man to whom, the Lord will not reckon sin.

backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

for until the law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

For he that herein serveth Christ is well-pleasing to God, and approved of men.

Thou wilt say then, Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.

For I will not dare to speak of any things save those which Christ wrought through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee.

glory not over the branches: but if thou gloriest, it is not thou that bearest the root, but the root thee.

Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness,'shall be wrath and indignation,

Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

Is this blessing then pronounced upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say, To Abraham his faith was reckoned for righteousness.

in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and round about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ;

And this is my covenant unto them, When I shall take away their sins.

As touching the gospel, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers'sake.

but glory and honor and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:

tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek;

For if thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural branches , be grafted into their own olive tree?

How then was it reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision:

Timothy my fellow-worker saluteth you; and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.

And not as through one that sinned,'so is the gift: for the judgment came of one unto condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses unto justification.

that, as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Their throat is an open sepulchre; With their tongues they have used deceit: The poison of asps is under their lips:

but, as it is written, They shall see, to whom no tidings of him came, And they who have not heard shall understand.

But if what I would not, that I do, I consent unto the law that it is good.

And the way of peace have they not known:

What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

Destruction and misery are in their ways;

but now, having no more any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come unto you,

Their feet are swift to shed blood;

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

And they also, if they continue not in their unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.

As he saith also in Hosea, I will call that my people, which was not my people; And her beloved, that was not beloved.

So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me.

whensoever I go unto Spain (for I hope to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first in some measure I shall have been satisfied with your company)--

and stedfastness, approvedness; and approvedness, hope:

And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against them that practise such things.

The faith which thou hast, have thou to thyself before God. Happy is he that judgeth not himself in that which he approveth.

and the father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he had in uncircumcision.

and knowest his will, and approvest the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

Gaius my host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the treasurer of the city saluteth you, and Quartus the brother.

God did not cast off his people which he foreknew. Or know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he pleadeth with God against Israel:

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

I Tertius, who write the epistle, salute you in the Lord.

When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by you unto Spain.

For as ye in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, And bow thou down their back always.

and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,

For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free in regard of righteousness.

thou therefore that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

For it hath been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints that are at Jerusalem.

thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou rob temples?

Overthrow not for meat's sake the work of God. All things indeed are clean; howbeit it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth;

But if what I would not, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me.

If therefore the uncircumcision keep the ordinances of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision?

and shall not the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who with the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law?

For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as it is written.

Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

or ministry, let us give ourselves to our ministry; or he that teacheth, to his teaching;

thou who gloriest in the law, through thy transgression of the law dishonorest thou God?

For if they that are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect:

And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb;

and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory,

according as it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this very day.

For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God.

even us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?

And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, And a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them:

So then if, while the husband liveth, she be joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if the husband die, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she be joined to another man.

Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned unto him;

if so be that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith.

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

Or is God the God of Jews only? is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yea, of Gentiles also:

And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that shall be saved:

Wherefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you:

and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

Yea, it hath been their good pleasure; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to minister unto them in carnal things.

that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.

Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.

And I know that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ.

And, as Isaiah hath said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We had become as Sodom, and had been made like unto Gomorrah.

neither, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

That is, it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed.

And it shall be, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, There shall they be called sons of the living God.
