For the righteousness of God is revealed in it from faith to faith, just as it is written, "But the one who is righteous by faith will live."

to those who, by perseverance in good work, seek glory and honor and immortality, eternal life,

and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

but God demonstrates his own love for us, [in] that [while] we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

For if, [while we] were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, by much more, having been reconciled, we will be saved by his life.

For if by the trespass of the one [man], death reigned through the one [man], much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.

Consequently therefore, as through one trespass [came] condemnation to all people, so also through one righteous deed [came] justification of life to all people.

so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

May it never be! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we may live {a new way of life}.

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,

For that [death] he died, he died to sin once and never again, but that [life] he lives, he lives to God.

But now, having been set free from sin and having been enslaved to God, you have your fruit [leading] to sanctification, and its end [is] eternal life.

For the compensation due sin [is] death, but the gift of God [is] eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And I was alive once, apart from the law, but [when] the commandment came, sin sprang to life

and I died, and this commandment which [was] to [lead to] life was found with respect to me to [lead to] death.

For I know that good does not live in me, that is, in my flesh. For the willing is present in me, but the doing [of] the good [is] not.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.

in order that the requirement of the law would be fulfilled in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

For the mindset of the flesh [is] death, but the mindset of the Spirit [is] life and peace,

But if Christ [is] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin, but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.

So then, brothers, we are obligated not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

For if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

And we know that all [things] work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to [his] purpose,

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? [Will] affliction or distress or persecution or hunger or lack of sufficient clothing or danger or the sword?

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

For Moses writes about the righteousness [that is] from the law: "The person who does [this] will live by it."

"Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have torn down your altars, and I alone am left, and they are seeking my life!"

For if their rejection [means] the reconciliation of the world, what [will] their acceptance [mean] except life from the dead?

Love must be without hypocrisy. Abhor what [is] evil; be attached to what [is] good,

being devoted to one another in brotherly love, esteeming one another [more highly] in honor,

Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another, for the one who loves someone else has fulfilled the law.

For the [commandments], "You shall not commit adultery, you shall not commit murder, you shall not steal, you shall not covet," and if [there is] any other commandment, are summed up in this statement: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

Love does not commit evil against a neighbor. Therefore love [is the] fulfillment of the law.

Let us live decently, as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and licentiousness, not in strife and jealousy.

For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore whether we live [or] whether we die, we are the Lord's.

For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will praise God."

For if because of food, your brother is grieved, you are no longer living according to love. Do not destroy by your food that person for whom Christ died.

Now I exhort you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to contend along with me in your prayers on my behalf to God,

who risked their own necks for my life, for which not only I am thankful, but also all the churches of the Gentiles;
