that make mention of his son, the which was begotten unto him of the seed of David, as pertaining to the flesh:

I would that ye should know, brethren, how that I have oftentimes purposed to come unto you, but have been let hitherto, to have some fruit among you, as I have among other of the gentiles.

Likewise, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the Gospel to you of Rome also.

For by it, the righteousness which cometh of God is opened, from faith to faith. As it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

inasmuch as when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful: but waxed full of vanities in their imaginations. And their foolish hearts were blinded.

And likewise also the men left the natural use of the woman, and burnt in their lusts, one on another, among themselves. And man with man wrought filthiness: and received in themselves the reward of their error, as it was according.

And as it seemed not good unto them to be a known of God, even so God delivered them up unto a lewd mind, that they should do those things which were not comely,

But whosoever hath sinned without law, shall perish without law. And as many as have sinned under the law, shall be judged by the law.

For the name of God is evil spoken-of among the gentiles, through you, as it is written.

God forbid. Let God be true, and all men liars, as it is written, "That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings and shouldest overcome when thou art judged."

If the verity of God appear more excellent through my lie, unto his praise, why am I henceforth judged as a sinner?

And say not rather - as men evil-speak of us, and as some affirm that we say - "Let us do evil, that good may come thereof." Whose damnation is just.

as it is written, "There is none righteous, no not one:

What shall we say, then, that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, did find?

Even as David describeth the blessedfulness of the man, unto whom God ascribeth righteousness without deeds,

And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness which is by faith: which faith he had, yet being uncircumcised, that he should be the father of all them that believe: though they be not circumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also;

As it is written, "I have made thee a father to many nations," even before God whom thou hast believed, which quickeneth the dead and called those things which be not, as though they were.

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by the means of sin; And so death went over all men, insomuch that all men sinned.

For even unto the time of the law was sin in the world: but sin was not regarded, as long as there was no law:

Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them also that sinned not, with like transgression as did Adam: which is the similitude of him that is to come.

But the gift is not like as the sin. For if, through the sin of one, many be dead: much more plenteous, upon many, was the grace of God and gift by grace: which grace was given by one man, Jesus Christ.

And the gift is not over one sin, as death came through one sin of one that sinned. For damnation came of one sin unto condemnation: But the gift came to justify from many sins.

Likewise, then, as by the sin of one, condemnation came on all men: even so, by the justifying of one cometh the righteousness that bringeth life, upon all men.

For as by one man's disobedience many became sinners: so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

That as sin had reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life, by the help of Jesus Christ.

God forbid. How shall we that are dead, as touching sin, live any longer therein?

We are buried with him by baptism for to die: That likewise as Christ was raised up from death by the glory of the father: even so we also should walk in a new life.

For as touching that he died, he died as concerning sin once. And as touching that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

Neither give ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: But give yourselves unto God, as they that are alive from death. And give your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

Remember ye not how that to whomsoever ye commit yourselves as servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey: whether it be of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

I will speak grossly because of the infirmity of your flesh. As ye have given your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity, from iniquity unto iniquity: even so now give your members servants unto righteousness, that ye may be sanctified.

Remember ye not brethren - I speak to them that know the law - how that the law hath power over a man as long as it endureth?

For the woman which is in subjection to a man, is bound by the law to the man, as long as he liveth. If the man be dead, she is loosed from the law of the man.

Even so, ye my brethren; ye also are made dead as concerning the law by the body of Christ, that ye should be coupled to another - I mean to him that is risen again from death - that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

I delight in the law of God, as concerning the inner man.

For what the law could not do, inasmuch as it was weak because of the flesh - that performed God, and sent his son in the similitude of sinful flesh, and by sin damned sin in the flesh;

for as many as are led by the spirit of God: they are the sons of God.

Likewise, the spirit also helpeth our infirmities. For we know not, what to desire as we ought: but the spirit maketh intercession mightily for us with groanings which cannot be expressed with tongue.

As it is written, "For thy sake are we killed all day long, and are counted as sheep appointed to be slain."

For I have wished myself to be cursed from Christ, for my brethren and my kinsmen as pertaining to the flesh:

whose also are the fathers, and they of whom; as concerning the flesh; Christ came: which is God over all things, blessed forever. Amen.

I speak not these things as though the words of God had taken none effect. For they are not all Israelites which came of Israel;

As it is written, "Jacob he loved, but Esau he hated."

As he saith in Hosea, "I will call them my people which were not my people: and her beloved which was not beloved."

But Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, "Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet shall a remnant be saved.

And as Isaiah said before, "Except the Lord of hosts had left us seed, we had been made as Sodom, and had been likened to Gomorrah."

And wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith: but as it were, by the works of the law. For they have stumbled at the stumbling stone.

As it is written, "Behold I put in Zion a stumbling stone, and a rock which shall make men fall. And none that believe on him, shall be ashamed."

And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of them which bring glad tidings of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things."

But I ask, Have they not heard? No doubt, their sound went out into all lands: and their words into the ends of the world.

according as it is written, "God hath given them the spirit of unquietness: eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, even unto this day."

I speak to you gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the gentiles I will magnify mine office

And so all Israel shall be saved. As it is written, "There shall come out of Zion he that doth deliver, and shall turn away the ungodliness of Jacob.

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

For look, as ye in time past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

For I say, through the grace that unto me is given, to every man among you: that no man esteem of himself more than it becometh him to esteem - But that he discreetly judge of himself according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

As we have many members in one body, and all members have not one office:

For these commandments: Thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, thou shalt not desire, and so forth: if there be any other commandment, they are all comprehended in this saying, "Love thine neighbor as thyself."

Let us walk honestly as it were in the daylight: not in eating and drinking: neither in chambering and wantonness: neither in strife and envying:

For it is written, "As truly as I live, saith the Lord, all knees shall bow to me, and all tongues shall give a knowledge to God."

For Christ pleased not himself: but as it is written, "The rebukes of them which rebuked thee, fell on me."

Wherefore receive ye one another as Christ received us, to the praise of God.

And let the gentiles praise God for his mercy. As it is written, "For this cause I will praise thee among the gentiles, and sing in thy name."

Nevertheless, brethren, I have somewhat boldly written unto you, as one that putteth you in remembrance, through the grace that is given me of God

but as it is written, "To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that heard not, shall understand."

that ye receive her in the Lord as it becometh saints, and that ye assist her, in whatsoever business she needeth of your aid. For she hath succored many, and mine own self also.

for your obedience extendeth to all men. I am glad no doubt of you. But yet I would have you wise unto that which is good. And to be innocent as concerning evil.
