But I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I often purposed to come to you, though I have been hindered hitherto, that I might have some fruit of my labors among you also, as among the other gentiles.

For if, through my being false, the truth of God hath been more abundantly manifested to his glory, why am I still judged as a sinner?

even the righteousness which is of God through faith in Jesus Christ, hath been made manifest to all and for all believers. For there is no distinction.

but to him who without performing works hath faith in him who accepteth as righteous one that hath been ungodly, his faith is accounted as righteousness;

and hope will not disappoint us; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which hath been given to us.

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

For if we have been made completely like him in his death, we shall be made like him in his resurrection also;

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

since we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath dominion over him no longer.

But now having been delivered from the slavery of sin, and having become the bondservants of God, ye have holiness as the fruit, and everlasting life as the end.

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."

And if some of the branches have been broken off, and thou, a wild olive, hast been grafted in among them, and become a partaker with them of the root and fatness of the olivetree,

For if thou hast been cut off from an olivetree wild by nature, and hast against thy nature been ingrafted into a good olivetree, how much more shall these, the natural branches, be ingrafted into their own olivestock?

For "who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been made his counselor?"

Having then gifts which dither according to the grace which hath been bestowed upon us, if we have prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

Let every one submit to the authorities that are over him; for there is no authority which is not from God: and the authorities which exist have been ordained by God.

but always earnestly desirous to preach it in this manner,not where Christ had been named, that I might not build on anothers foundation,

For which cause also, for the most part, I have been hindered from coming to you.

that ye may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the holy, and assist her in whatever business she may need your aid; for she hath been a helper of many, and of myself also.
