For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."

to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality -- eternal life.

As it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations." This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.

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

But God commends 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, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.

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

So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.

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

May it never be. We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?

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

But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him;

For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

But now, being made free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of eternal life.

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

The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made you free from the law of sin and of 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, the things of the Spirit.

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

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

So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

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

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, 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 about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will live by them."

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

For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; outdo one another in showing honor;

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

For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not covet," and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

Love does not harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.

For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord's.

For it is written, "'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.'"

Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Do not destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.

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

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