And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you (and was hindered hitherto), that I might have some fruit in you also, even as in the rest of the Gentiles.

So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are in Rome.

For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith.

because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened.

And even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without the law: and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;

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

God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment.

But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

and why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just.

as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one;

They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not, so much as one:

Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt.

Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works,

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

And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb;

Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned:--

But not as the trespass, so also is the free gift. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound unto the many.

And not as through one that sinned,'so is the gift: for the judgment came of one unto condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses unto justification.

So then as through one trespass the judgment came unto all men to condemnation; even so through one act of righteousness the free gift came unto all men to justification of life.

For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one shall the many be made righteous.

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

We were buried therefore with him through baptism unto death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

neither present your members unto sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves as'servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members as'servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members as'servants to righteousness unto sanctification.

Or are ye ignorant, brethren (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law hath dominion over a man for so long time as he liveth?

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

And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered;

Even as it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

But it is not as though the word of God hath come to nought. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel:

Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.

As he saith also in Hosea, I will call that my people, which was not my people; And her beloved, that was not beloved.

And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that shall be saved:

And, as Isaiah hath said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We had become as Sodom, and had been made like unto Gomorrah.

Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling;

even as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:

and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!

But as to Israel he saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

according as it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this very day.

But I speak to you that are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;

and so all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

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

For as ye in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith.

For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office:

If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men.

For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy.

For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, And every tongue shall confess to God.

For Christ also pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell upon me.

Wherefore receive ye one another, even as Christ also received you, to the glory of God.

and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, Therefore will I give praise unto thee among the Gentiles, And sing unto thy name.

But I write the more boldly unto you in some measure, as putting you again in remembrance, because of the grace that was given me of God,

but, as it is written, They shall see, to whom no tidings of him came, And they who have not heard shall understand.
