who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for evermore: amen.

For so many as sinned without law will also perish without law; and so many as sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;

for the hearers of the law are not righteous with God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

For when the Gentiles, not having the law, may by nature do the things of the law, they, not having the law, are a law unto themselves:

who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience witnessing, and their thoughts accusing or indeed excusing with one another,

But if you are denominated a Jew, and rest in the law, and boast in God,

and know his will, and approve the things which are excellent, being taught by the law;

a teacher of the juveniles, having a form of knowledge and truth in the law;

do you, who boast in the law, through the transgression of the law dishonor God?

For circumcision indeed profits, if you do the law: but if you be a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

Then if uncircumcision may keep the righteousness of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

and that which is uncircumcision by nature, perfecting the law, will judge you, who through the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law.

But we know that so many things as the law speaks, it says to those under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may become guilty before God.

Therefore no flesh shall be justified by works of law: for through law there is a perfect knowledge of sin.

And now the righteousness of God without law has been made manifest, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

Then where is boasting? It is excluded. By what law? of works? No; but by the law of faith.

For we conclude that a man is justified by faith without works of law.

Then do we make void the law through faith? It could not be so: but we establish the law.

For the promise to Abraham or his seed, that he should be the heir of the world, was not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

For if the heirs were by the law, faith has been made void, and the promise vitiated.

For the law works out wrath: for where there is no law, there is no transgression.

Therefore it is by faith, in order that it may be by grace; that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not only of the law, but also of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

(for until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed, there being no law;

But the law came, that the transgression might abound; but where sin did abound, there did grace superabound:

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace.

What then? can we commit sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? it could not be so.

Whether are you ignorant, O brethren, for I speak to those knowing the law, for the law hath dominion over a man for so long time as he may live?

For a woman who is under her husband has been given to her husband by the law so long as he lives; but if the husband may die, she is free from the law of the husband.

Then if she may be married to another man, her husband still living, she will be designated an adulteress: but if her husband may die, she is free from the law; and is no adulteress, though she is married to another man.

So, my brethren, ye are dead to the law through the body of Christ, that ye should be married to another, to him who is risen from the dead, in order that we may bring forth fruit unto God.

For when we were in carnality, the emotions of sins, which were through the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

But now we have been made free from the law, being dead in that in which we were held; so that we serve in the newness of the spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Then what shall we say? is the law sin? It could not be so; but I did not know sin except through the law: for indeed I had not known lusts, unless the law said, Thou shalt not covet.

But sin, taking occasion through the commandment, did work in me all concupiscence; for without law sin was dead.

But I was alive at one time without law: but the commandment having come, sin revived,

So the law is indeed holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.

For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, having been sold under sin.

But if I do that which I do not will, I consent to the law that it is beautiful;

Then I find a law, that, to me wishing to do that which is beautiful, that the evil is present with me:

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

but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

Thanks be unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord: then therefore with the mind I serve the law of God; but with carnality the law of sin.

For the law of the Spirit of life has made thee free from the law of sin and of death.

For there was an impotency of the law, in which it was weak through depravity, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of the sin of depravity and for sin, condemned sin in depravity:

in order that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to depravity, but according to the spirit.

Therefore the mind of depravity is enmity toward God: for it is not subordinated to the law of God, for it is not able so to be.

Who will lay anything to the charge of God's elect?

I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,

who are Israelites, of whom is the adoption of sons, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service, and the promises:

but Israel, following after the law, did not attain unto the law of righteousness.

as has been written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: and he that believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one who believes.

For Moses describes the righteousness which is of the law, that the man having done this shall live in it.

Owe no man anything, but to love one another with divine love: for the one loving another with divine love has fulfilled the law.

Divine love works no evil to its neighbor: for divine love is the fulfilling of the law.

For the night is far spent, and the day is at hand. Therefore let us lay aside the works of the darkness, and let us put on the arms of the light.
