In the first place, indeed, I praise my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how I unceasingly make mention of you always in my prayer;

For I long to see you, in order that I may impart unto you a certain spiritual grace, that you may be established;

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

For the righteousness of God is revealed in him from faith to faith: as has been written, But the just shall live by faith.

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

because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God has revealed it to them:

for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are seen, being known by the things which are made, even His eternal power and divinity; so that they are without excuse:

who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for evermore: amen.

On account of this God gave them up to the lusts of dishonor: for indeed their women changed the natural use to that which is against nature:

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, every one judging. For in whatsoever thou art judging another, thou art condemning thyself; for thou judging art doing the same things.

For we know that the judgment of God according to truth is against those doing such things.

For there is no respect of persons with God.

For so many as sinned without law will also perish without law; and so many as sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;

for the hearers of the law are not righteous with God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

For when the Gentiles, not having the law, may by nature do the things of the law, they, not having the law, are a law unto themselves:

For the name of God is blasphemed by you among the Gentiles, as has been written.

For circumcision indeed profits, if you do the law: but if you be a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

Then if uncircumcision may keep the righteousness of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is circumcision that which is outwardly in the flesh.

Much every way. For indeed, in the first place, the oracles of God were committed unto them.

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

Then what? are we the better? By no means: for we have proven already that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin;

The fear of God is not before their eyes.

Therefore no flesh shall be justified by works of law: for through law there is a perfect knowledge of sin.

but the righteousness of God through faith of Jesus Christ is unto all who believe: for there is no difference,

for all sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

For we conclude that a man is justified by faith without works of law.

For if Abraham were justified by works, he has glorification; but not before God.

For what does the scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness.

but to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

Then does this blessedness come on the circumcision, or on the uncircumcision? for we say That faith was imputed to Abraham for righteousness.

For the promise to Abraham or his seed, that he should be the heir of the world, was not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

For if the heirs were by the law, faith has been made void, and the promise vitiated.

For the law works out wrath: for where there is no law, there is no transgression.

Therefore it was indeed imputed unto him for righteousness.

who was delivered on account of our transgressions, and raised for our justification.

For we being yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly:

for scarcely will one die for a righteous man; for perhaps some one even dares to die for a good man.

And God commends his love to us, because, we being yet sinners, Christ died for us.

For if being enemies we are reconciled to God through the death of his Son; how much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved through his life:

(for until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed, there being no law;

But not as was the transgression, even so is the free gift: for if by the transgression of one many died, how much more by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, did the grace of God and the gift abound unto many!

And not as by the one having sinned, is the free gift; for indeed, judgment was from one unto condemnation, but the free gift is from many transgressions unto justification.

For if by the transgression of one death reigned through one; how much more shall those receiving the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Christ Jesus!)

Therefore then, as by the transgression of one, judgment came to all men to condemnation; so also through the righteousness of one, the free gift came on all men unto the justification of life:

for as by the disobedience of one man many were made sinners, so also by the obedience of one man shall many be made righteous.

For if we have grown together in the likeness of His death, we shall also be in the likeness of his resurrection:

for the one having died has been made free from sin.

For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he lives, he lives unto God.

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace.

but having been made free from sin, ye became servants unto righteousness.

I speak after the manner of a man on account of the weakness of your carnality. For as ye presented your members as servants unto impurity and lawlessness pursuant to lawlessness, so now present your members servants unto righteousness pursuant to sanctification.

For when you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.

What fruit then had you at that time in those things in which you are now ashamed? for the end of these things is death.

But now having been made free from sin, and having become servants unto God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life.

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

Whether are you ignorant, O brethren, for I speak to those knowing the law, for the law hath dominion over a man for so long time as he may live?

For a woman who is under her husband has been given to her husband by the law so long as he lives; but if the husband may die, she is free from the law of the husband.

Then if she may be married to another man, her husband still living, she will be designated an adulteress: but if her husband may die, she is free from the law; and is no adulteress, though she is married to another man.

For when we were in carnality, the emotions of sins, which were through the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

But now we have been made free from the law, being dead in that in which we were held; so that we serve in the newness of the spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Then what shall we say? is the law sin? It could not be so; but I did not know sin except through the law: for indeed I had not known lusts, unless the law said, Thou shalt not covet.

But sin, taking occasion through the commandment, did work in me all concupiscence; for without law sin was dead.

For sin, taking occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it slew me.

For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, having been sold under sin.

For that which I do, I know not: for I do that which I do not will; but I do that which I hate.

For I know that in me, that is, in my carnal mind, there dwells no good thing. For to will is present with me, but to do that which is beautiful is not:

for the good which I will I do not; but the evil which I do not will, that I do.

for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man;

For the law of the Spirit of life has made thee free from the law of sin and of death.

For there was an impotency of the law, in which it was weak through depravity, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of the sin of depravity and for sin, condemned sin in depravity:

For those being in harmony with depravity, do mind the things of depravity, and those in harmony with the Spirit, the things of the Spirit:

for the mind of depravity is death: and the mind of the Spirit is life and peace.

Therefore the mind of depravity is enmity toward God: for it is not subordinated to the law of God, for it is not able so to be.

But if Christ is in you, the body is dead so far as sin is concerned; but the Spirit is life so far as righteousness is concerned.

For if you live according to depravity, you are about to die: but if through the Spirit you kill the practices of the body, you shall live.

For so many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.

For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but you received the Spirit of adoption, in which we cry; Father, Father.

For I reckon that the sufferings of these present times are not worthy to be compared to the glory which is about to be revealed in us.

For the earnest expectation of the creature awaits the revelation of the sons of God.

For the creature has been subordinated to mortality, not willingly, but through Him who subordinated it;

For we know that all creation groans together and travails together until now;

and not only so, but we ourselves, having the earnest of the Spirit, and we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of sons, the redemption of our body.

For we are saved by hope: but hope which is seen is not hope: for why does any one indeed hope for that which he sees?

But if we hope for that which we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

And likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmity. For we know not what we should pray for as it behooves us: but the Spirit himself makes intercession with unutterable groanings:

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

Then what shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Indeed he who spared not his own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not with him, freely give us all things?

As has been written, that We are killed all day for thy sake; we are counted as sheep of the slaughter.

For I am persuaded that, neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come,

For I would pray, that I myself might be an offering from Christ; in behalf of my brethren, my kindred according to the flesh:

But not as that the word of God has been a failure. For these are not all Israel who are of Israel;

that is the children of the flesh the same are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

For this is the word of the promise, About this time I will come, and there shall be a son to Sarah.

for the children not having been born, neither having done anything good or evil, in order that the purpose of God might stand according to election not of works, but of him that calleth,

For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I do have mercy, and I will commiserate whom I do commiserate.

For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very thing have I raised you up, that I may show forth my power in you, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.

Then thou wilt say to me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted his will?
