For, the unseen things of him, from a world's creation, by the things made, being perceived, are clearly seen, even his eternal power and divinity, - to the end they should be without excuse;

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,

Inasmuch as, by works of law, shall no flesh be declared righteous before him, - through law, in fact, is discovery of sin.

In the forbearance of God, - with a view to a showing forth of his righteousness in the present season, that he might be righteous even when declaring righteous him that hath faith in Jesus.

For what doth the Scripture say? And Abraham believed in God, and it was reckoned unto him as righteousness.

Now, unto him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned by way of favour but by way of obligation,

Whereas, unto him that worketh not but believeth on him that declareth righteous the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.

Even as it is written - Father of many nations, have I appointed thee: before him whom he believed - God, who causeth the dead to live, and calleth the things that are not as things that are: -

Wherefore also, it was reckoned unto him as righteousness.

Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was reckoned unto him,

But for our sakes also - unto whom it is to be reckoned, - even unto them that believe upon him who raised Jesus our Lord from among the dead:

Much more, then, having now been declared righteous by his blood, shall we be saved through him from the anger.

We were, therefore, buried together with him through our immersion into his death, in order that - just as Christ was raised from among the dead through the glory of the Father, so, we also, in newness of life should walk.

Of this taking note - that, our old man, was crucified together with him in order that the sinful body might be made powerless, that we should, no longer, be in servitude to sin;

Now, if we have died together with Christ, we believe that we shall also live together with him;

Knowing that, Christ having been raised from among the dead, no more dieth, - death, over him, no more, hath lordship, -

Know ye not that, unto whom ye are presenting yourselves as servants for obedience, servants ye are unto him unto whom ye are obedient, whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness?

If, moreover, the Spirit of him that raised Jesus from among the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised from among the dead Christ Jesus, shall make alive evenyour death-doomed bodies, through means of his indwelling Spirit within you.

For, unto vanity, hath creation been made subject - not by choice, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope

He, at least, who his own Son did not spare, but in behalf of us all delivered him up, how shall he not also, with him, all things upon us in favour bestow?

Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquering through him that hath loved us.

They, in fact, not being yet born, nor having practised anything good or bad, - in order that the purpose of God by way of election might stand, - not by works but by him that was calling,

Hence, then, it is nor of him that wisheth nor of him that runneth, but of the mercy-shewing God.

O man! Who, nevertheless, art, thou, that art answering again unto God? Shall the thing formed say unto him that formed it - Why didst thou make me thus?

That, if thou shalt confess the declaration with thy mouth - That Jesus is, Lord, and shalt believe with thy hear - That, God, raised him from among the dead, thou shalt be saved; -

For there is no distinction - of Jew or Greek, - for, the same Lord , is Lord of all, being rich unto all who call upon him;

But what saith unto him the response? I have left for myself seven thousand men, who, indeed, have not bowed a knee unto Baal.

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

Because, of him, and through him, and unto him, are all things: - unto him, be the glory, unto the ages. Amen!

Or ministering, use it in our ministering, or he that teacheth, let him use his gift in his teaching,

But - if thine enemy hunger, be feeding him, if he thirst, be giving him drink; for, this doing, coals of fire, shalt thou heap upon his head.

For, God's minister, is he unto thee for that which is good. But, if, that which is evil, thou be doing, be afraid! For, not in vain, the sword he beareth; for, God's minister, he is, - an avenger, unto anger, to him who practiseth what is evil.

Him that is weak in his faith, receive ye, - not for disputing opinions: -

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

Who art, thou, that judgest another's domestic? To his own master, he standeth or falleth; he shall, however, be made to stand, - for his master is able to make him stand.

I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus - that, nothing, is profane of itself, - save to him who reckoneth anything to be profane, unto that man, it is profane,

And, again, Isaiah, saith - There shall be the root of Jesse, and he that ariseth to rule nations, - upon, him, shall nations hope.

But, even as it is written - They shall see unto whom had been announced no tidings concerning him, and, they who had not heard, shall understand.

Now, unto him who hath power to establish you, according to my glad-message - even the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of a sacred secret, in age-past times kept silent,
