Because that which is capable of being known relative to God, is evident among them; for God hath manifested it to them.

For if the truth of God by my lying hath more abundantly contributed to his glory; why am I notwithstanding judged as a sinner?

whom God hath proposed as the propitiatory sacrifice through faith in his blood, in demonstration of his justice for the remission of past sins, through the patience of God;

WHAT then shall we say that Abraham our father hath obtained by the flesh?

For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath cause for glorying; though not before God.

But not as the transgression, so also [is] the gift. For if by the transgression of one the many became dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is in that one man, Christ Jesus, hath abounded unto many.

But the law was introduced, that the offence might be more abundant. But where sin had abounded, there hath grace abounded more exceedingly:

knowing this, that our old man hath been crucified with him, that the body of sin might be abolished, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death over him hath no more dominion.

For that which I am doing I approve not: for not the thing which I wish, that do I practise; but the very thing I hate, that I do.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath liberated me from the law of sin and of death.

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

But if the Spirit of him who hath raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he who raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his indwelling Spirit in you.

Now it is not supposable that the word of God hath failed. For these are not all Israel, who are of Israel:

Well then, he hath mercy on whom he will, but whom he will he hardeneth.

Wilt thou then say to me, Why yet doth he blame us? Who hath resisted his will?

Hath not the potter power over the clay, from the same mass to make one vessel for an honourable use, and another for a dishonourable?

But what if God, willing to display his wrath, and to make known what is possible with him, hath borne with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted for perdition:

even us, whom he hath called, not only out of the Jews, but out of the Gentiles?

But Israel, pursuing after the law of righteousness, hath not come up to the law of righteousness.

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, "Lord, who hath believed our report?"

I SAY then, Hath God rejected his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

God hath not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession with God against Israel, saying,

What then is the result? Israel hath not obtained that which it seeketh; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded,

as it is written, "God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; unto this present day."

For God hath shut up all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been admitted his counsellor?

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

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not, and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth; for God hath accepted him.

Therefore help one another, as Christ also hath helped us, for the glory of God.

For I will not dare to say any thing of those things which Christ hath not wrought by my ministry, to engage the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

that ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that you assist her in every matter wherein she may have need of you: for she hath also been a succourer of many, and of me myself.
