God is my witness, to whom I render holy service in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how unceasingly I am ever making mention of you in my prayers,

Be it far from us; for in that case how could God judge the world?

How then was it imputed to him? When he was circumcised? or uncircumcised? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision;

By how much more, then, being now justified in his blood, shall we be saved through him from the wrath of God.

For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved in his life.

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

How then shall thy call upon Him in whom they do not believe? And how are they to believe in One of whom they have never heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

Oh, the depths of the riches, both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unfathomable are his judgments, and how unsearchable his paths!
