But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified about by the law and the prophets--

Therefore, where [is] boasting? It has been excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

"Blessed [are they] whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, and whose sins are covered over.

Therefore, [because we] have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

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.

Therefore, by much more, [because we] have been declared righteous now by his blood, we will be saved through him from the wrath.

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

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 also we may live {a new way of life}.

For the one who has died has been freed from sin.

knowing that Christ, [because he] has been raised from the dead, is going to die no more, death no longer being master over him.

and having been set free from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.

But now, having been set free from sin and having been enslaved to God, you have your fruit [leading] to sanctification, and its end [is] eternal life.

But now we have been released from the law, [because we] have died [to that] by which we were bound, so that we may serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter [of the law].

For the creation has been subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of the one who subjected [it], in hope

for [although they] had not yet been born, or done anything good or evil, in order that the purpose of God according to election might remain,

For just as you formerly were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of the disobedience of these,

so also these have now been disobedient for your mercy, in order that they also may now be shown mercy.

"For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?

But I have written to you more boldly on [some] points, so as to remind you [again] because of the grace that has been given to me by God,

And so, having as my ambition to proclaim the gospel where Christ has not been named, in order that I will not build on the foundation belonging to someone else,

in order that you may welcome her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and help her in whatever task she may have need from you, for she herself also has been a helper of many, even me myself.
