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

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

but wrath and anger to those who live in selfish ambition and do not obey the truth but follow unrighteousness.

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, how much more, since we have been reconciled, will we be saved by his life?

For if, by the transgression of the one man, death reigned through the one, how 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, just as condemnation for all people came through one transgression, so too through the one righteous act came righteousness leading to life for all people.

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

Absolutely not! 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 we too may live a new life.

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

For the death he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life he lives, he lives to God.

But now, freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life.

For the payoff of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

But now we have been released from the law, because we have died to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code.

and I died. So I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life brought death!

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

For those who live according to the flesh have their outlook shaped by the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit have their outlook shaped by the things of the Spirit.

For the outlook of the flesh is death, but the outlook of the Spirit is life and peace,

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

So then, brothers and sisters, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh

(for if you live according to the flesh, you will 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, who are called according to his purpose,

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will trouble, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

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

nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

For Moses writes about the righteousness that is by the law: "The one who does these things will live by them."

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

For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

Love must be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil, cling to what is good.

Be devoted to one another with mutual love, showing eagerness in honoring one another.

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited.

If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all people.

Owe no one anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

For the commandments, "Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not covet," (and if there is any other commandment) are summed up in this, "Love your neighbor as yourself."

Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Let us live decently as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in discord and jealousy.

If we live, we live for the Lord; if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's.

For this reason Christ died and returned to life, so that he may be the Lord of both the dead and the living.

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

For if your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy by your food someone for whom Christ died.

Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to join fervently with me in prayer to God on my behalf.

who risked their own necks for my life. Not only I, but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.
