There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

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

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

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

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

But those being in depravity are not able to please God.

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

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

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

So, brothers, we are under obligations, but not to our lower nature to live by the standard set by it;

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

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

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

For I consider [from the standpoint of faith] that the sufferings of the present life are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us!

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

Not only that but this too, we ourselves who enjoy the Spirit as a foretaste of the future, even we ourselves, keep up our inner groanings while we wait to enter upon our adoption as God's sons at the redemption of our bodies.

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

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.

But he who searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for saints according to God.

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

But whom he predestinated, those also he called: and whom he called, those also he justified: but whom he justified, those also he glorified.

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?

Who will give a decision against us? It is Christ Jesus who not only was put to death, but came again from the dead, who is now at the right hand of God, taking our part.

but in all these we more than conquer, through him who loved us;

But it is not that God's word has failed. For not everybody that is descended from Israel really belongs to Israel,

Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

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

And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;

(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 calleth;)

not by works but by the one who calls--it was said to her, "The older will serve the younger,"

As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

No, indeed; the solution is found in His words to Moses, "Wherever I show mercy it shall be nothing but mercy, and wherever I show compassion it shall be simply compassion."

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

Well then, he hath mercy on whom he will, but whom he will he hardeneth.

But you will say to me, Why does he still make us responsible? who is able to go against his purpose?

Nay 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?

But if God wishing to show his wrath and to make known his power endured with much long suffering vessels of wrath fitted for destruction,

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

But Isaiah cries concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel is as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved;

What shall we say then? That nations who did not pursue righteousness attained a righteousness, but the righteousness which is by faith;

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

Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

as the Scripture says: "See, I put on Zion a stone for causing people to stumble, a rock to trip them on, but no one who puts his faith in it will ever be put to shame."

For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

Or, "Who shall descend into the deep?" That is nothing else but to fetch up Christ from death.

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

But there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord is over them all, because He is infinitely kind to all who call upon Him.

But how can people call upon One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in One about whom they have not heard? And how can people hear without someone to preach to them?

But how shall they preach, unless they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them who bring the good tidings of peace, who bring the glad tidings of good things!

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

Faith then cometh by report, but the report by the word of God.

But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.

But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.

But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

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

And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded

as it has been written [Isa. 19:10], "God gave them a spirit of numbness [i.e., they developed a spiritual insensitivity to God and His word]. [He gave them] eyes to see with [but they would not look], and ears to hear with [but they did not listen]. And they still have this spirit."

I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.

But if their stumbling has resulted in the enrichment of the world, and their overthrow becomes the enrichment of heathen peoples, how much richer the result will be when the full quota of Jews comes in!

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

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

But if the first fruit was holy, the lump is also: if the root was holy, the branches are also.

But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became a partaker of the root and excellence of the olive,

Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

"But," you will say, "branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in!"

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

Be not high-minded, but fear. For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed left he also spare not thee.

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

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

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

For just as you once disobeyed God, but now have had mercy shown you because of their disobedience,

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

For we have many parts in one body, but these parts do not all have the same function.

so we who are many, make all but one body in Christ, and every member subservient to one another.

but having different gifts according to the grace given us, if prophecy [let us prophesy] according to the analogy of the faith,

Your love must be true. You must always turn in horror from what is wrong, but keep on holding to what is right.

Be not slow in your work, but be quick in spirit, as the Lord's servants;

Bless them which persecute you: bless, but curse not.

bless them, but curse not. rejoice with those that do rejoice, and weep with those that weep.

Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Do not pay anyone back evil for evil, but focus your thoughts on what is right in the sight of all people.

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

But "if your enemy is hungry, feed him. For if he is thirsty, give him a drink. If you do this, you will pile burning coals on his head."

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

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

For he is the 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 the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

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

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

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

One man believes that he can eat anything; another who is overscrupulous eats nothing but vegetables.

Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? To his own master he standeth or falleth; but he shall be established: for God is able to establish him.

One judges one day to be better than another, but another judges every day [to be alike]. Let each one be fully persuaded in his mind.

None of us lives for himself [for his own benefit, but for the Lord], and none of us dies for himself [but for the Lord].
