declared to be the Son of God in power as to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the dead,??esus Christ our Lord,??5 through whom we have received grace and an apostleship for the obedience of the faith in all nations in behalf of his name,

And as they did not choose to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do things which are not proper,

For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief destroy the faith of God?

as it is written, I have made you a father of many nations before God in whom he believed, who makes the dead alive and calls things which do not exist as existing.??18 who against hope believed in hope that he should become a father of many nations according to the saying shall your posterity be.

And being not weak in faith, he did not regard himself as dead, being now about a hundred years old, nor Sarah's incapacity for child-bearing,

and he did not doubt the promise of God by unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God,

but also for our sakes, to whom it is about to be accounted if we believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

We have been buried therefore with him through baptism in death, that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life.

knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dies no more; death has no longer a lordship over him.

So also account yourselves dead indeed to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.

neither present your members as instruments of wickedness to sin, but present yourselves to God as living from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

So, my brothers, you have also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you should be married to another, to him that was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.

But Sin having taken occasion through the commandment wrought in me every inordinate desire; for without the law sin was dead.

Did then that which is good become death to me? By no means, but sin; that sin might be made manifest, producing death to me through that which is good, that sin might become exceedingly sinful through the commandment.

But if Christ is in you, the body is dead on account of sin, but the spirit is life on account of righteousness.

And if the Spirit of him that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised Christ from the dead shall make alive your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwells in you.

Yes indeed, O man, who are you that reply against God? Shall the work say to him that made it, Why did you make me thus?

What shall we say then? That nations who did not pursue righteousness attained a righteousness, but the righteousness which is by faith;

but Israel who pursued the law of righteousness did not attain to the law of righteousness.

But the righteousness by faith speaks thus; Say not in your mind, who shall ascend into heaven???hat is, to bring Christ down,??7 or who shall descend into the abyss???hat is, to bring Christ up from the dead.

For if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe with your mind that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved;

But all did not obey the gospel; for Isaiah says, Lord, who believed our report?

But I say, Did they not hear? Yes indeed; their voice went into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

But I say, did not Israel know? First, Moses says, I will provoke you by that which is not a nation, and by a foolish nation will I excite you to anger.

What then? What Israel seeks, this it did not obtain, but the election obtained; and the rest were hardened,??8 as it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear??o this day.

For if their falling away is the reconciling of the world, what will their recovery be but life from the dead?

For this end Christ died and lived again, that he might exercise lordship over the dead and living.
