Because that which may be known of God, is manifest among them; for God has made it manifest to them,

What advantage then has the Jew, or what profit has circumcision?

Yet, if the truth of God has, through my lie, been greatly advanced to his glory, why am I still judged as a sinner?

whom God has set forth as a propitiatory sacrifice, through faith in his blood, in order to manifest his righteousness, in passing by the sins that were formerly committed through the forbearance of God;

What, then, shall we say that Abraham our father has found, as it respects the flesh?

For if Abraham was. justified by works, he has cause for boasting, but not before God.

For if, by one man's offense, death has reigned through that one, much more shall those who receive the abundance of the grace, and of the gift of righteousness, reign in life through the one, who is Jesus Christ.

Therefore, as, by one offense, sentence came on all men to condemnation, so, also, by one act of righteousness, the gift has come on all men to justification of life.

that as sin has reigned, ending in death, so might grace reign by justification, ending in life eternal, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

knowing this, that our former man has been crucified with him, in order that the sinful body may be deprived of its power, so that we should no longer serve sin:

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

Know you not, brethren, for I speak to you that are acquainted with law, that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?

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.

Has, then, that which is good become death to me? It can not be. But sin, that it, might appear sin, was causing death to me through that which is good, in order that sin, through the commandment, might become exceedingly sinful.

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

For what the law could not do, because it was weak through the flesh, God has done, who, sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for a sin-offering, condemned sin in the flesh,

But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now, if any one has not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died: rather, indeed, that has risen, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

It is not possible that the word of God has failed; for they are not all Israel who are of Israel.

Therefore, he has mercy on whom he wills to have mercy: and whom he wills to harden, he hardens.

You will then say to me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted his will?

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?

but Israel, who sought after a law of justification, has not attained to a law of justification.

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.

But they have not all obeyed the gospel; for Isaiah says: Lord, who has believed our report?

But I say: Have they not heard? Yes, verily; their voice has gone forth into all the earth: and -their words to the ends of the world.

I say, then, Has God rejected his people? It can not be. For I am an Israelite, of the posterity of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Know you not what the scripture says, in regard to Elijah? how he intercedes with God against Israel, saying:

What then? Israel has not obtained that which he seeks; but the chosen have obtained it, and the rest have been hardened to this day,

as it is written: God has given them a spirit of stupor, eyes with which they can not see, and ears with which they can not hear.

I say, then, Have they stumbled, in order that they may fall? It can not be. But rather, through their fall, salvation has come to the Gentiles, to excite them to jealousy.

For I do not wish you, brethren, to be ignorant of this mystery lest you be wise in your own conceit that blindness has happened to Israel in part, till the full number of the Gen tiles shall have come in.

For God has delivered them all over to unbelief, that he may have mercy on them all.

For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or, who has been his counsellor?

Or, who has first given to him, and received from him a recompense?

For I say, through the grace given to me, to every one that is among you, that he must not think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but that he be disposed to think modestly, as God has distributed to each a measure of faith.

Owe no one any thing, except to love one another; for he that loves another, has fulfilled the law.

And do this, because you know the time, that the hour has already come when we should awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed:

Let not him that eats, despise him that eats not; and let not him that eats not, judge him that eats: for God has received him.

Wherefore, receive one another with kindness, as the Christ has received you, to the glory of God.

For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, by word and deed, in order to make the Gentiles obedient,

that you receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of saints, and that you aid her in whatever matter she may have need of you; for she has aided many, and myself also.

For your obedience has gone abroad to all men: I rejoice, therefore, on your account. But I desire you to be wise in respect to that which is good, and guileless in respect to that which is evil.
