For all have sinned, and are fallen short of the glory of God,

I exhort you therefore, brethren, by the tender mercies of God, to present your bodies unto God, a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable, which is your reasonable service.

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

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

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

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

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

Therefore as by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin, even so death passed upon all men, in that all had sinned.

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Therefore there is now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

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

For whosoever shall call on 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 detain the truth in unrighteousness.

Let every soul be subject to the supreme powers, for there is no power but from God; the powers that be, are appointed by God.

Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one.

For those things of him which are invisible, both his eternal power and Godhead, are clearly seen from the creation of the world, being understood by the things which are made, so that they are without excuse:

Know ye not, that as many of us have been baptized into Jesus Christ, have been baptized into his death?

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

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if the Spirit of God dwell in you. And if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated, conformable to the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born among many brethren.

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us, with groanings which cannot be uttered.

For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers,

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the Sons of God.

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

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death, that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life.

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

Amen. Therefore God gave them up to vile affections; for even their women changed the natural use to that which is against nature: And likewise also the men,

To all that are in Rome,

For whatsoever things were written aforetime, were written for our instruction, that we, through patience and consolation of the scriptures, may have hope.

But the righteousness of God without the law is now manifested, being attested by the law and the prophets,

For when we were yet without strength, in due time, Christ died for the ungodly.

And I say, through the grace which is given to me, to every one that is among you, not to think of himself above what he ought to think, but to think soberly, according to the measure of faith which God hath distributed to every one.

Concerning his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord,

The same Spirit beareth witness with our spirits, that we are the children of God.

And are justified freely by his grace, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus:

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

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil, cleave to that which is good.

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

our father Isaac, 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 called,) It was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger.

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also,

But how 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?

Always requesting in my prayers to come unto you, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey by the will of God.

For the righteousness of God is revealed therein from faith to faith; as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

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

that ye may be established, That is, to be comforted together with you, by the mutual faith both of you and me.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall affliction, or distress, or persecution, or hunger, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

For God, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, is my witness, how incessantly I make mention of you,

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

Owe no man any thing, but to love another; for he that loveth another, hath fulfilled the law.

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

But if their fall be the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fulness?

Therefore no flesh shall be justified in his sight by the works of the law; for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

And hope shameth us not, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Because knowing God, they did not glorify him as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their reasonings, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come to you, (though I have been hindred hitherto) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other Gentiles.

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

Whom God hath set forth as a propitiation, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness by the remission of past sins, through the forbearance of God: For a demonstration,

Rejoice with them that rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness in the desires of their hearts, to dishonour their bodies among themselves;

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given us, whether it be prophesy, let us prophesy according to the analogy of faith:

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

Him that is weak in the faith, receive; but not to doubtful disputations.

For what is to be known of God, is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it to them.

Brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, (lest ye should be wise in your own conceits) that hardness is in part happened to Israel, till the fulness of the Gentiles be come in:

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

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Nay, in all these things we more than conquer, through him who hath loved us.

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

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

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

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest; for wherein thou judgest the other, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost the same things.

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we might no longer serve sin.

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

Dearly beloved, revenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

We know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.

Now we know that whatsoever the law saith, it saith to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be found guilty before God.

What then? Are we better than they? In no wise: for we have before proved all, both Jews and Gentiles, to be under sin.

(that is, to bring Christ again from the dead) But what saith he? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart; that is, the word of faith which we preach:

In brotherly love be full of tender affection toward each other, in honour preferring one another:

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

Even the righteousness of God, by the faith of Jesus Christ, to all and upon all that believe; for there is no difference:

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is also at the right-hand of God, who likewise maketh intercession for us.

I commend unto you Phebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea,

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God hath done: sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, to be a sacrifice for sin, he hath condemned sin in the flesh:

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

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 also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost?

Nay, but by the law of faith. We conclude then, that a man is justified by faith, without the works of the law.

Now to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace:

I speak as a man. God forbid; for then how should God judge the world?

What shall we say then? That the law is sin? God forbid. Yea, I should not have known sin, but for the law. I had not known lust, unless the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves servants to obey, 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 the law, but under grace.

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature above the creator, who is blessed for ever!

according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, (according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began,

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

God forbid: let God be true, and every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

For of him, and through him, and to him are all things: to him be glory for ever! Amen.

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

Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law) that the law hath dominion over a man, as long as it liveth?

One man esteemeth one day above another; another esteemeth every day alike; let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

And do this, knowing the season, that it is high time now to awake out of sleep; for salvation is nearer to us now, then when we first believed.

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

It is not therefore of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

For if through one man's offence death reigned by one, they who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness, shall much more reign in life, by 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 how to perform what is good, I find not.

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

Not as if the word of God had fallen to the ground; for all are not Israel, who are of Israel.

I have therefore whereof to glory, through Jesus Christ, in the things pertaining to God.
