For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

to those who by patience in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality, he will give eternal life;

(as it is written, "I have made you the father of many nations") in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls things that do not exist as though they did.

And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

For if, by the one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.)

So then, as one man's trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one man's act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.

so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live any longer in it?

We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.

The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the return you get is holiness and its end, eternal life.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.

The very commandment which was to bring life I found to be death to me.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.

If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit who dwells in you.

Therefore, brethren, we are debtorsnot to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,

nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, "The man who does those things shall live by them."

"Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life."

For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

Let love be genuine. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; outdo one another in showing honor.

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited.

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not covet," and any other commandment there may be, are summed up in this sentence, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's.

For it is written: "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God."

If your brother is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not by your eating destroy the one for whom Christ died.

May the God of patience and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, according to Christ Jesus,

Now I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I but also all the churches of the Gentiles give thanks;
