For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “But the righteous man shall live by faith.”

to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life;

(as it is written, “A father of many nations have I made you”) in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist.

and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

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

For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.

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

May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?

Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.

Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life.

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

and this commandment, which was to result in life, proved to result in death for me;

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

For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,

But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh—

for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

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

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

nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on law shall live by that righteousness.

“Lord, they have killed Your prophets, they have torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they are seeking 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 without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good.

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor;

Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

For this, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

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

for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore whether we live or 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 give praise to God.”

For if because of food your brother is hurt, you are no longer walking according to love. Do not destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.

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