through whom we did receive grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name;

first, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world;

for God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the good news of His Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you,

for I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, that ye may be established;

for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to every one who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek.

For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it hath been written, 'And the righteous one by faith shall live,'

for revealed is the wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding down the truth in unrighteousness.

Because that which is known of God is manifest among them, for God did manifest it to them,

for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead -- to their being inexcusable;

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

Therefore, thou art inexcusable, O man -- every one who is judging -- for in that in which thou dost judge the other, thyself thou dost condemn, for the same things thou dost practise who art judging,

For there is no acceptance of faces with God,

for as many as without law did sin, without law also shall perish, and as many as did sin in law, through law shall be judged,

for not the hearers of the law are righteous before God, but the doers of the law shall be declared righteous: --

For, when nations that have not a law, by nature may do the things of the law, these not having a law -- to themselves are a law;

for the name of God because of you is evil spoken of among the nations, according as it hath been written.

For circumcision, indeed, doth profit, if law thou mayest practise, but if a transgressor of law thou mayest be, thy circumcision hath become uncircumcision.

If, therefore the uncircumcision the righteousness of the law may keep, shall not his uncircumcision for circumcision be reckoned?

For he is not a Jew who is so outwardly, neither is circumcision that which is outward in flesh;

much in every way; for first, indeed, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God;

for what, if certain were faithless? shall their faithlessness the faithfulness of god make useless?

for if the truth of God in my falsehood did more abound to His glory, why yet am I also as a sinner judged?

What, then? are we better? not at all! for we did before charge both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin,

There is no fear of God before their eyes.'

wherefore by works of law shall no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin.

and the righteousness of God is through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, -- for there is no difference,

for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God --

whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of God --

for the shewing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous who is of the faith of Jesus.

for if Abraham by works was declared righteous, he hath to boast -- but not before God;

for what doth the writing say? 'And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness;'

Is this happiness, then, upon the circumcision, or also upon the uncircumcision -- for we say that the faith was reckoned to Abraham -- to righteousness?

and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them,

For not through law is the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith;

for if they who are of law are heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless;

for the law doth work wrath; for where law is not, neither is transgression.

Because of this it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which is of the law only, but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham,

Who, against hope in hope did believe, for his becoming father of many nations according to that spoken: 'So shall thy seed be;'

For in our being still ailing, Christ in due time did die for the impious;

for scarcely for a righteous man will any one die, for for the good man perhaps some one also doth dare to die;

and God doth commend His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ did die for us;

for if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in his life.

because of this, even as through one man the sin did enter into the world, and through the sin the death; and thus to all men the death did pass through, for that all did sin;

for till law sin was in the world: and sin is not reckoned when there is not law;

But, not as the offence so also is the free gift; for if by the offence of the one the many did die, much more did the grace of God, and the free gift in grace of the one man Jesus Christ, abound to the many;

and not as through one who did sin is the free gift, for the judgment indeed is of one to condemnation, but the gift is of many offences to a declaration of 'Righteous,'

for if by the offence of the one the death did reign through the one, much more those, who the abundance of the grace and of the free gift of the righteousness are receiving, in life shall reign through the one -- Jesus Christ.

for as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were constituted sinners: so also through the obedience of the one, shall the many be constituted righteous.

For, if we have become planted together to the likeness of his death, so also we shall be of the rising again;

this knowing, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of the sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving the sin;

for he who hath died hath been set free from the sin.

for in that he died, to the sin he died once, and in that he liveth, he liveth to God;

for sin over you shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under grace.

have ye not known that to whom ye present yourselves servants for obedience, servants ye are to him to whom ye obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

In the manner of men I speak, because of the weakness of your flesh, for even as ye did present your members servants to the uncleanness and to the lawlessness -- to the lawlessness, so now present your members servants to the righteousness -- to sanctification,

for when ye were servants of the sin, ye were free from the righteousness,

what fruit, therefore, were ye having then, in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those is death.

for the wages of the sin is death, and the gift of God is life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Are ye ignorant, brethren -- for to those knowing law I speak -- that the law hath lordship over the man as long as he liveth?

for the married woman to the living husband hath been bound by law, and if the husband may die, she hath been free from the law of the husband;

so, then, the husband being alive, an adulteress she shall be called if she may become another man's; and if the husband may die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, having become another man's.

So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another's, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God;

for when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins, that are through the law, were working in our members, to bear fruit to the death;

What, then, shall we say? the law is sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:

Thou shalt not covet;' and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness -- for apart from law sin is dead.

and the command that is for life, this was found by me for death;

for the sin, having received an opportunity, through the command, did deceive me, and through it did slay me;

for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;

for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do.

for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find,

for the good that I will, I do not; but the evil that I do not will, this I practise.

for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,

for the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus did set me free from the law of the sin and of the death;

for what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the sin in the flesh,

For those who are according to the flesh, the things of the flesh do mind; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit;

for the mind of the flesh is death, and the mind of the Spirit -- life and peace;

because the mind of the flesh is enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself,

for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.

for if according to the flesh ye do live, ye are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body ye put to death, ye shall live;

for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God;

for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, 'Abba -- Father.'

For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory about to be revealed in us;

for the earnest looking out of the creation doth expect the revelation of the sons of God;

for to vanity was the creation made subject -- not of its will, but because of Him who did subject it -- in hope,

that also the creation itself shall be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God;

for we have known that all the creation doth groan together, and doth travail in pain together till now.

for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for what any one doth behold, why also doth he hope for it?

and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect it.

And, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth us, we have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession for us with groanings unutterable,

and He who is searching the hearts hath known what is the mind of the Spirit, because according to God he doth intercede for saints.

And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;

because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren;

and whom He did fore-appoint, these also He did call; and whom He did call, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He did glorify.

What, then, shall we say unto these things? if God is for us, who is against us?

He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us?

who is he that is condemning? Christ is He that died, yea, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of God -- who also doth intercede for us.

(according as it hath been written -- 'For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long, we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter,')

for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,

for I was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ -- for my brethren, my kindred, according to the flesh,

And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who are of Israel are these Israel;
