beseeching that at one time or another, a prosperous journey, by the will of God, might fortune me to come unto you.

I would that ye should know, brethren, how that I have oftentimes purposed to come unto you, but have been let hitherto, to have some fruit among you, as I have among other of the gentiles.

But unto them that are rebellious, and disobey the truth, and follow iniquity, shall come indignation and wrath,

To every man that doth good shall come praise, honour and peace, to the Jew first, and also to the gentile.

And say not rather - as men evil-speak of us, and as some affirm that we say - "Let us do evil, that good may come thereof." Whose damnation is just.

Came this blessedness then upon the circumcised or upon the uncircumcised? We say verily how that faith was reckoned to Abraham, for righteousness.

Therefore by faith is the inheritance given, that it might come of favour: and that the promise might be sure to all the seed. Not to them only which are of the law: but also to them which are of the faith of Abraham, which is the father of us all.

Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them also that sinned not, with like transgression as did Adam: which is the similitude of him that is to come.

And the gift is not over one sin, as death came through one sin of one that sinned. For damnation came of one sin unto condemnation: But the gift came to justify from many sins.

Likewise, then, as by the sin of one, condemnation came on all men: even so, by the justifying of one cometh the righteousness that bringeth life, upon all men.

I once lived without law: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I was dead.

Yea and I am sure that neither death, neither life, neither angels; nor rule, neither power, neither things present, neither things to come,

whose also are the fathers, and they of whom; as concerning the flesh; Christ came: which is God over all things, blessed forever. Amen.

I speak not these things as though the words of God had taken none effect. For they are not all Israelites which came of Israel;

For this is a word of promise, "About this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son."

And, "It shall come to pass, in the place where it was said unto them, 'ye are not my people,' that there shall be called the children of the living God."

I would not that this secret should be hid from you my brethren, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits: that partly blindness is happened in Israel, until the fullness of the gentiles be come in.

And so all Israel shall be saved. As it is written, "There shall come out of Zion he that doth deliver, and shall turn away the ungodliness of Jacob.

The night is past and the day is come nigh. Let us therefore cast away the deeds of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

For this cause I have been oft let to come unto you:

but now seeing I have no more to do in these countries, and also have been desirous many years to come unto you,

when I shall take my journey into Spain, I will come to you. I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you after that I have somewhat enjoyed you.

When I have performed this, and have brought them this fruit sealed, I will come back again by you into Spain.

And I am sure when I come, that I shall come with abundance of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

that I may come unto you with joy, by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
