For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how incessantly I make mention of you, always in my prayers

as it is written, I have made you a father of many nations before God in whom he believed, who makes the dead alive and calls things which do not exist as existing.??18 who against hope believed in hope that he should become a father of many nations according to the saying shall your posterity be.

and the hope makes not ashamed, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit given us.

And if the Spirit of him that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised Christ from the dead shall make alive your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwells in you.

And in like manner also the Spirit helps our weakness. For we know not what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit makes intercession for us with groanings unutterable;

and he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because it makes intercession with God for the saints.

who is he that condemns? Is it Christ who died, and still more, who has also been raised, and who is on the right hand of God, and who makes intercession for us?

Yes indeed, O man, who are you that reply against God? Shall the work say to him that made it, Why did you make me thus?

or has not the potter a right, in respect to the clay, to make of the same mass one vessel to honor and another to dishonor?

But if God wishing to show his wrath and to make known his power endured with much long suffering vessels of wrath fitted for destruction,

and that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he before prepared for glory,

but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for desires of the flesh.

Who are you that judge another man's servant? To his master he stands or falls; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor of the saints at Jerusalem.
