There it is that divine justification is revealed to be wholly by faith: as it is written, " the just shall live by faith."

who will render to every man according to his actions: eternal life to those,

" I have made thee a father of many nations," then existing in the sight of God, whom he believed, who gives life to the dead, and calls forth things that are not, as if they were:

now hope will not deceive us, because the love of God is diffused thro' our hearts, by the holy spirit which is given to us;

but herein hath God displayed his love towards us, in that Christ died for us, even while we were yet sinners.

for if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his son: much more being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

for tho' death reigned thro' the single offence of one, they who receive the most valuable favour, even the gift of righteousness, shall much more easily reign by the life of one, even Jesus Christ.

Therefore as by one offence all men fell under condemnation: even so by one act of righteousness, all men are restored to life.

that as sin prevailed unto death, even so might the divine favour prevail by righteousness unto eternal life, thro' Jesus Christ our Lord.

God forbid, that we who have died to sin should live any longer therein.

therefore we are buried with him by being plunged into a sort of death: that as Christ was raised up from the dead into a state of glory with the father, even so we also should proceed to a new state of life.

since then we died with Christ, we are persuaded that we shall also live with him:

but now being set free from sin, and actually in the service of God, the present advantage you reap is holiness, and the future everlasting life.

for the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

wherefore she will be reputed an adulteress if she become another man's during her husband's life: but if her husband dies, she is clear from that law, from the imputation of being an adulteress, though she become another man's.

then it was I once liv'd secure; but when the prohibition came, sin exerted it self, and I was in a dying condition:

and the commandment which leads to life was instrumental to my ruin.

Sentence of death therefore shall not pass upon those christians who do not lead a vicious life.

for the christian dispensation of a spiritual life has set me free from the legal state of sin and death.

now sensual inclinations lead to death; but spiritual affections to a life of tranquillity.

and if Christ be in you, tho' the body is mortal in consequence of sin; the spirit gives life by justification.

for if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwell in you; he that raised up Christ from the dead, shall likewise restore your mortal bodies to life, by his spirit that dwelleth in you.

for if you lead a sensual life, you will be miserable: but if through the spirit you mortify the affections of corrupted nature, you will be happy.

for I consider, that the sufferings of this present life are infinitely over-ballanc'd by that glory which shall hereafter be discovered to us.

We know too, that all things co-operate for the good of those who love God, who, pursuant to his purpose, has now called them:

what shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or penury, or peril, or sword?

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

neither the high, nor the low, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God by Christ Jesus our Lord.

For Moses describes the justice that was to be had by the law, thus : "the man who performeth the things here required, shall have life thereby."

in these words, "Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I alone am left, and they seek my life also."

Let love be without dissimulation. abhor that which is evil, adhere to that which is good.

do all you can to live peaceably, if it be possible, with all mankind.

rulers are not a terror to virtue, but to vice. would you then live without any dread of the civil power? do what is right, and you shall have his commendation.

Owe no man any thing, but mutual love: for he that

thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy self." the benevolent never does wrong to his neighbour: therefore benevolence is the fulfilling of the law.

for we neither live, nor die, as if we were our own masters.

if we live, our life is appropriated to the Lord; and if we die, we die as his servants: whether we live therefore or die, we are the Lord's.

for it is written, "as I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall give praise to God."

now if your brother be endanger'd by your eating, you violate the obligations of love: for such a matter as eating, will you risk his life, for whom Christ died?

in the mean time, I conjure you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the spirit, that you join with me in earnest prayers to God for me;

who have for my life readily exposed their own: to whom not only I, but all the churches of the Gentiles too give thanks.
