Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, a called apostle, set apart to preach the gospel of God,

the gospel concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David as to the flesh,

whom, in his blood, through faith, God hath set forth as a propitiatory sacrifice, in order to manifest his righteousness, on account of his passing by, in his forbearance, the sins committed in former times;

(as it is written, "I have made thee a father of many nations") in the sight of that God whom he believed, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were.

(for all the time before the Law sin was in the world; but sin is not set to ones account when there is no law.

for he that hath died hath been set free from sin.

What then shall we say? Is the Law sin? God forbid! But I should not have known sin, except by the Law; for I should not have known sinful desire, unless the Law had said, "Thou shalt not covet."

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

in hope that even the creation itself will be set free from the bondage of corruption and brought into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

it was said to her, "The elder shall serve the younger:"

And it shall be, that in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there shall they be called sons of the living God."

And as Isaiah hath said before, "Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we should have become as Sodom, and been made like Gomorrah."

I say then, Hath God cast off his people? Far be it I For I myself am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

Be of one mind among yourselves. Set not your minds on high things, but content yourselves with what is humble. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Render to no one evil for evil; have regard to what is honorable in the sight of all men.

When therefore I have completed this business, and secured to them this fruit, I shall set out to pass through you to Spain.
