Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, an Apostle by the selection of God, given authority as a preacher of the good news,

Of which God had given word before by his prophets in the holy Writings,

Through whom grace has been given to us, sending us out to make disciples to the faith among all nations, for his name:

including you who have been called to belong to Jesus Christ??7 to all those in Rome whom God loves, who are called to be his people; God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

First, indeed, I give thanks unto my God, through Jesus Christ, concerning you all, because your faith is being announced throughout the whole world.

And that I am ever making prayers that God will give me a good journey to you.

For I have a strong desire to see you, and to give you some grace of the spirit, so that you may be made strong;

that is, that I may both give and receive com fort, while I am among you, through our common faith.

For which reason I have the desire, as far as I am able, to give the knowledge of the good news to you who are in Rome.

For from the first making of the world, those things of God which the eye is unable to see, that is, his eternal power and existence, are fully made clear, he having given the knowledge of them through the things which he has made, so that men have no reason for wrongdoing:

Inasmuch as, having come to know God, not, as God, did they glorify him, or give him thanks, but were made fruitless in their reasonings, and darkened was their undiscerning heart,

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

Because of this did God give them up to dishonourable affections, for even their females did change the natural use into that against nature;

Yes, as they disdained to acknowledge God any longer, God has given them up to a reprobate instinct, for the perpetration of what is improper,

Hated by God, full of pride, without respect, full of loud talk, given to evil inventions, not honouring father or mother,

who knowing the divine rule of right, did not perceive that they who commit such things are worthy of death, and not only they who do the same, but they who give countenance to those that do them.

Or is it nothing to you that God had pity on you, waiting and putting up with you for so long, not seeing that in his pity God's desire is to give you a change of heart?

Who will give to every man his right reward:

To those who go on with good works in the hope of glory and honour and salvation from death, he will give eternal life:

but unto those who are contentious, and do not yield to the truth, but give way to injustice, indignation and wrath,

But He will give glory, honor and peace to every man who works good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

if you know His will and have been taught by the law of Moses to [evaluate and] give approval to what is best;

if you are confident that you can give [spiritual] guidance to blind people and enlightenment to those who are in [spiritual] darkness;

You who give teaching to others, do you give it to yourself? you who say that a man may not take what is not his, do you take what is not yours?

Much in every way: first of all because the words of God were given to them.

But now without the law there is a revelation of the righteousness of God, to which witness is given by the law and the prophets;

And to make clear his righteousness now, so that he might himself be upright, and give righteousness to him who has faith in Jesus.

If God is one; and he will give righteousness because of faith to those who have circumcision, and through faith to those who have not circumcision.

Do we then abolish the law through faith? God forbid: but on the contrary, we give the law stability.

But to him who without working has faith in him who gives righteousness to the evil-doer, his faith is put to his account as righteousness.

[But] when was he given credit [i.e., for being righteous]? Was it after he was circumcised, or before? It was before he was circumcised, not afterward.

And he was given the sign of circumcision as a witness of the faith which he had before he underwent circumcision: so that he might be the father of all those who have faith, though they have not circumcision, and so that righteousness might be put to their account;

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

For if those who were given the Law are the heirs, then faith is useless and the promise is worthless,

Therefore by faith is the inheritance given, that it might come of favour: and that the promise might be sure to all the seed. Not to them only which are of the law: but also to them which are of the faith of Abraham, which is the father of us all.

in God’s sight. As it is written: I have made you the father of many nations. He believed in God, who gives life to the dead and calls things into existence that do not exist.

and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God,

who was given up to death because of our shortcomings and was raised again to give us right standing with God.

Since we have been given right standing with God through faith, then let us continue enjoying peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

who has given us access by faith to that degree of favour, we are in, by which we triumph in the hopes of divine glory.

And not only so, but let us have joy in our troubles: in the knowledge that trouble gives us the power of waiting;

And waiting gives experience; and experience, hope:

And, our hope, putteth not to shame. Because, the love of God, hath been poured out in our hearts, through the Holy Spirit that hath been given unto us:

Now a man will scarcely ever give his life for an upright person, though once in a while a man is brave enough to die for a generous friend.

But God gives proof of His love to us in Christ's dying for us while we were still sinners.

Certainly sin was in the world before the law was given, but it is not charged to men's account where there is no law.

But the gift is not like as the sin. For if, through the sin of one, many be dead: much more plenteous, upon many, was the grace of God and gift by grace: which grace was given by one man, Jesus Christ.

And, not as through one that sinned, is that which is freely given, for, the sentence of judgment, indeed, was - out of one fault into condemnation, whereas, the decree of favour, is - out of many faults, into a recovery of righteousness.

For this cause do not let sin be ruling in your body which is under the power of death, so that you give way to its desires;

Neither give ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: But give yourselves unto God, as they that are alive from death. And give your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

Are you not conscious that you are the servants of him to whom you give yourselves to do his desire? if to sin, the end being death, or if to do the desire of God, the end being righteousness.

But praise be to God that though you were the servants of sin, you have now given yourselves freely to that form of teaching under which you were placed;

I will speak grossly because of the infirmity of your flesh. As ye have given your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity, from iniquity unto iniquity: even so now give your members servants unto righteousness, that ye may be sanctified.

For the reward of sin is death; but what God freely gives is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

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.

So then, if she gives herself to another man while her husband is living, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law. Then, if she gives herself to another man, she is not an adulteress.

In the same way, my brothers, you were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, even to him who came again from the dead, so that we might give fruit to God.

For when we were in the flesh, the evil passions which came into being through the law were working in our bodies to give the fruit of death.

And I made the discovery that the law whose purpose was to give life had become a cause of death:

For we are conscious that the law is of the spirit; but I am of the flesh, given into the power of sin.

If, then, I do that which I wish not to do, I give assent to the law, that it is good.

I give praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So with my mind I am a servant to the law of God, but with my flesh to the law of sin.

For those who are living in the way of the flesh give their minds to the things of the flesh, but those who go in the way of the Spirit, to the things of the Spirit.

Because for the mind to be given up to earthly things means death; but for it to be given up to spiritual things means Life and peace.

So then, they that are given to the flesh, cannot please God.

But ye are not given to the flesh; But to the spirit: If so be that the spirit of God dwell in you. If there be any man that hath not the spirit of Christ, the same is none of his.

and if Christ be in you, tho' the body is mortal in consequence of sin; the spirit gives life by justification.

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

For you did not get the spirit of servants again to put you in fear, but the spirit of sons was given to you, by which we say, Abba, Father.

For nature did not of its own accord give up to failure; it was for the sake of Him who let it thus be given up, in the hope

And those who were marked out by him were named; and those who were named were given righteousness; and to those to whom he gave righteousness, in the same way he gave glory.

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Who will give a decision against us? It is Christ Jesus who not only was put to death, but came again from the dead, who is now at the right hand of God, taking our part.

Which are the Israelites, to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants and the law that was given and the service of God, and the promises,

For the Lord will give effect to his word on the earth, putting an end to it and cutting it short.

And, as Isaiah had said before, If the Lord of armies had not given us a seed, we would have been like Sodom and Gomorrah.

while the descendants of Israel, who were in pursuit of a Law that could give righteousness, have not arrived at one.

For I give witness of them that they have a strong desire for God, but not with knowledge.

Because, not having knowledge of God's righteousness, and desiring to give effect to their righteousness, they have not put themselves under the righteousness of God.

There is no difference between Jew and Greek, because they all have the same Lord, who gives richly to all who call on him.

Because, Whoever will give worship to the name of the Lord will get salvation.

But how will they give worship to him in whom they have no faith? and how will they have faith in him of whom they have not had news? and how will they have news without a preacher?

And how will there be preachers if they are not sent? As it is said, How beautiful are the feet of those who give the glad news of good things.

But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah saith, 'Lord, who did give credence to our report?'

Now what are we to infer from this? That Israel has failed to secure the object of its quest; the elect have secured it, and the rest have been rendered insensible to it ??8 as it is written, God has given them a spirit of torpor, eyes that see not, ears that hear not ??down to this very day.

Even as it is written - God hath given unto them a spirit of stupor, - eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, - until this very day;

But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, an olive-tree of the fields, were put in among them, and were given a part with them in the root by which the olive-tree is made fertile,

For God does not change His mind about the gifts He gives and the people He calls [to Him].

So in the same way these have gone against the orders of God, so that by the mercy given to you they may now get mercy.

For God has given all alike over to disobedience, that to all alike he may show mercy.

Or who hath first given unto him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?

For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him.

For I say, through the favour which hath been given me, unto every one who is among you, - not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but so to think as to think soberly - as, unto each one, God hath dealt a measure of faith.

Now, having gifts of favour, according to the favour given unto us, differing - whether prophesying, let us use it according to the proportion of our faith,

or ministry, let us give ourselves to our ministry; or he that teacheth, to his teaching;

if [it is] one who exhorts, by exhortation; one who gives, with sincerity; one who leads, with diligence; one who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor;

Being glad in hope, quiet in trouble, at all times given to prayer,

Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
