Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God,

who was of the seed of David, according to the flesh, But declared the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead,

who are beloved of God, called and holy, Grace to you, and peace from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ, for you all, that your faith is spoken of through the whole world.

For God, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, is my witness, how incessantly I make mention of you,

Always requesting in my prayers to come unto you, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey by the will of God.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth, both to the Jew and to the Gentile.

For the righteousness of God is revealed therein from faith to faith; as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven, against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who detain the truth in unrighteousness.

For what is to be known of God, is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it to them.

Because knowing God, they did not glorify him as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their reasonings, and their foolish heart was darkened.

And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image in the likeness of corruptible man, and of birds, and of four-footed creatures and reptiles.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness in the desires of their hearts, to dishonour their bodies among themselves;

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature above the creator, who is blessed for ever!

Amen. Therefore God gave them up to vile affections; for even their women changed the natural use to that which is against nature: And likewise also the men,

And as they were not careful to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to an undiscerning mind, to do things not expedient, Filled with all injustice, maliciousness, covetousness, wickedness:

Whisperers, backbiters: haters of God, violent, proud: boasters, inventers of evil things: disobedient to parents,

Who knowing the righteous judgment of God, that they who do such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in those that do them.

For we know that the judgment of God is according to truth, against them who do such things.

And thinkest thou this, O man, who judgest them that do such things, and dost the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up to thyself wrath in the day of wrath, and revelation, and righteous judgment of God?

But glory, honour, and peace shall be to every one who worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile.

For there is no respect of persons with God.

For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

In the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Christ Jesus, according to my gospel.

and gloriest in God, And knowest his will, and discernest the things that differ, being instructed out of the law:

Thou that gloriest in the law, dost thou by transgressing the law dishonour God?

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

But he is a Jew, who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

Much every way; chiefly in that they were intrusted with the oracles of God.

For what if some believed not? Shall their unbelief disannul the faithfulness of God?

God forbid: let God be true, and every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is not God unjust, who taketh vengeance?

I speak as a man. God forbid; for then how should God judge the world?

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

And why may we not (as we are slandered, and as some affirm us to say) do evil, that good may come? Whose damnation is just.

There is none that understandeth; there is none that seeketh after God.

They have all turned aside; they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doth good, no not one.

The fear of God is not before their eyes.

Now we know that whatsoever the law saith, it saith to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be found guilty before God.

But the righteousness of God without the law is now manifested, being attested by the law and the prophets,

Even the righteousness of God, by the faith of Jesus Christ, to all and upon all that believe; for there is no difference:

For all have sinned, and are fallen short of the glory of God,

Whom God hath set forth as a propitiation, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness by the remission of past sins, through the forbearance of God: For a demonstration,

Is God the God of the Jews only, and not also of the Gentiles? Surely of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one God who will justify the circumcision by faith,

Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

If Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory: but he hath not in the sight of God.

For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness.

So David also describeth the happiness of the man, to whom God imputeth righteousness without works:

I have made thee a father of many nations) before God in whom he believed, as quickning the dead, and calling the things that are not, as though they were:

He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ:

By whom also we have been introduced through faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

And hope shameth us not, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Now one will scarce die for a just man: yet perhaps for the good man one would even dare to die.

But God recommendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more being reconciled, we shall be saved through his life.

And not only so, but we also glory in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Yet not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if by the offence of one many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, that of one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

God forbid. How shall we who are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

For in that he died, he died to sin once for all; but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

So reckon ye also yourselves to be dead to sin, and alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

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

What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were the servants of sin, ye have now obeyed from the heart the form of doctrine into which ye have been delivered.

But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

For death is the wages of sin; but eternal life is the gift of God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Thus ye also, my brethren, are dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye might be married to another, even to him who was raised from the dead, that we may bring forth fruit to God.

What shall we say then? That the law is sin? God forbid. Yea, I should not have known sin, but for the law. I had not known lust, unless the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

Was then that which is good made death to me? God forbid: But sin: so that it appeared sin, working death in me by that which is good: so that sin might by the commandment become exceeding sinful.

If then I do what I would not, I consent to the law, that it is good.

For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good, I find not.

For the good that I would, I do not; but the evil which I would not, that I do.

I find then a law, that when I would do good, evil is present with me.

For I delight in the law of God, after the inward man.

Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself with my mind serve the law of God, but with my flesh the law of sin.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God hath done: sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, to be a sacrifice for sin, he hath condemned sin in the flesh:

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

So then they who are in the flesh cannot please God.

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if the Spirit of God dwell in you. And if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the Sons of God.

The same Spirit beareth witness with our spirits, that we are the children of God.

And if children, then heirs, heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ: if we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revelation of the sons of God.

In hope that the creation itself shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption, into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

But he who searcheth the hearts, knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit: for he maketh intercession for the saints, according to God.

And we know, that all things work together for good, to them that love God, to them that are called according to his purpose.

What shall we say then to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is also at the right-hand of God, who likewise maketh intercession for us.

nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Who are Israelites, whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the worship of God, and the promises:

Whose are the fathers, and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is, over all, God, blessed for ever.

Not as if the word of God had fallen to the ground; for all are not Israel, who are of Israel.

That is, not the children of the flesh are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

our father Isaac, The children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil (that the purpose of God according to election might stand not of works, but of him that called,) It was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger.

What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? God forbid.

It is not therefore of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
