But I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that I often intended to come to you (and was prevented until now), so that I might have some fruit also among you, even as among the other Gentiles.

For the righteousness of God is revealed in it from faith for faith, just as it is written, And the righteous man will live from faith.

Because, although knowing God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were they thankful, but became vain in their reasonings and their heart was darkened without understanding.

And just as they did not approve having God in knowledge, God gave them over to an unfit mind, to do things that are not fit;

For as many as have sinned without law will also be destroyed without law, and as many as have sinned in law will be judged by law.

For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, just as it is written.

May it not happen! But let it come to pass God is true, but every man a liar, as it is written, That thou may ever be justified in thy words, and may prevail when thou are criticized.

For if by my lie, the truth of God abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as sinful,

and not (as we are slandered, and as some affirm us to say) that we may do evil so that good things may come (whose condemnation is just)?

as it is written, There is no righteous man, not even one.

All turned away. Together they became useless. There is not a man who does goodness; there is not as much as one.

Now we know that as many things as the law says, it says to those in the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become accountable to God.

Just as David also tells the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness independent of works,

And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness of his faith during uncircumcision, for him to be father of all those who believe during uncircumcision (for righteousness to also be imputed to them),

(as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations), before him whom he believed, of God who makes the dead alive, and who calls things not existing, as existing.

Because of this, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, so also death passed to all men, in that all sinned.

But in this way also, the gift is not as the transgression. For if by the trespass of the one man the many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift in grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many.

And the gift is not as through one man who sinned, for indeed the judgment from one man was for condemnation, but the gift from many offenses is for righteousness.

So then, as through an offense of one man was for condemnation for all men, so also through a righteousness of one man was for justification of life for all men.

For as through the one man's disobedience the many were led sinful, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be led righteous.

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

Or are ye ignorant that as many as were immersed into Christ Jesus were immersed into his death?

We were buried therefore with him through the immersion into death, so that as Christ was raised up from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we may walk in newness of life.

And do not present your body-parts as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God, as living out of the dead, and your body-parts as instruments of righteousness to God,

Know ye not, that to what ye present yourselves as bondmen for obedience, ye are bondmen to what ye obey, whether of sin for death, or of obedience for righteousness?

(I speak man-like because of the weakness of your flesh). For as ye presented your body-parts servile to uncleanness, and to lawlessness for lawlessness, so now present your body-parts servile to righteousness for sanctification.

Or are ye ignorant, brothers (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law has dominion over the man for as long a time as he lives?

But now we have been released from the law, having died to what we were held, so as for us to serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of a document.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

And likewise also the Spirit helps our weaknesses, for we know not what we would pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.

Just as it is written, For thy sake we are killed the whole day long. We are considered as sheep of slaughter.

But it is not as that the word of God has failed. For all those from Israel, these are not Israel,

As it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I regarded inferior.

As also he says in Hosea, I will call those not my people, my people, and her who was not beloved, beloved.

And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be saved.

And just as Isaiah has foretold, Unless Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we would have become as Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.

Why? Because it was not from faith but as from works of law. For they stumbled at the stone of stumbling,

just as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. And every man who believes in him will not be shamed.

And how will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who proclaim good news of peace, of those who proclaim good news of good things.

just as it is written that God gave them a spirit of slumber: eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, until this very day.

For I speak to you the Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of Gentiles, I enhance my ministry,

And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written, The man who delivers will come from Zion, and will turn away impiety from Jacob.

For as ye once were also disobedient to God, but now have received mercy at the disobedience of these,

For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to over think beyond what he ought to think, but to think so as to think soundly, as God has apportioned to each man a measure of faith.

For just as we have many body-parts in one body, and all the body-parts have not the same function,

Let us walk decently as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in beddings and wantonness, not in strife and envy.

For Christ also did not please himself, but as it is written, The reproaches of those who reproached thee fell upon me.

For as many things as were written previously were written for our learning, so that through perseverance and through the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.

Therefore receive ye each other, just as Christ also received you for the glory of God.

and the Gentiles, for the sake of mercy, to glorify God, as it is written, Because of this I will give thanks to thee among Gentiles, and will sing to thy name.

But I wrote more boldly to you, brothers, in part, as reminding you because of the grace that was given to me by God,

in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of a spirit of God, so that for me, from Jerusalem and all around as far as Illyricum, to fully preach the good-news of Christ.

but, as it is written, They will see to whom it was not reported about him, and they will understand who have not heard.
