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

an instructor of the simple, a teacher of the unlearned, because you have the form of true knowledge in the law;

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

much more, then, since we are now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from the wrath through him.

Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that did not sin in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is the type of him that was to come.

Therefore, we are buried with him, by immersion, into death, that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we should walk in a new life.

for he that is dead is freed from sin.

because we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more; death has dominion over him no longer;

and present not 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.

But thanks be to God, that though you were the servants of sin, yet you have obeyed from the heart the form of teaching, in which you have been instructed;

and being made free from sin, you have be come the servants of righteousness.

But now, since you have been made free from sin, and have become servants to God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, eternal life.

For the woman that has a husband, is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives: but if her husband die, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

So then, if, while her husband lives, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress. But if her husband die, she is free from the law; so that she is not an adulteress, though she be married to another man.

So then, my brethren, you, also, have died to the law, by the body of the Christ, in order that you may be married to another, to him who was raised from the dead that we should bring forth fruit to God.

but now we are made free from the law, being dead to that by which we were bound, so that we may serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body that subjects me to death?

For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed me from the law of sin, and of death.

And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised the Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies, because of his Spirit that dwells in you.

in hope, that even the creature itself shall be made free from the bondage of corruption, and introduced into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? Shall affliction, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or the sword?

nor hight, nor depth, nor any other creature, will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. SECTION THIRD. God's Dealings with Israel as a People,

for I could wish my self to be accursed from Christ, for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh;

Has not the potter power over the clay, to make from the same mass one vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?

whom he has called, not only from among the Jews, but also from the Gentiles?

or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring Christ again from the dead.

that if you will confess with your mouth, that Jesus is Lord, and will believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.

For if you were cut out from an olive-tree that is wild by nature, and were grafted, against nature, into a good olive, how much more shall these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive?
