For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the glad tidings of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you,

Much every way: and first, indeed, that to them were entrusted the oracles of God.

For what? if some have not believed, shall their unbelief make the faith of God of none effect?

All have gone out of the way, they have together become unprofitable; there is not one that practises goodness, there is not so much as one:

Do we then make void law by faith? Far be the thought: no, but we establish law.

and hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which has been given to us:

Much rather therefore, having been now justified in the power of his blood, we shall be saved by him from wrath.

For if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much rather, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in the power of his life.

But shall not the act of favour be as the offence? For if by the offence of one the many have died, much rather has the grace of God, and the free gift in grace, which is by the one man Jesus Christ, abounded unto the many.

For if by the offence of the one death reigned by the one, much rather shall those who receive the abundance of grace, and of the free gift of righteousness, reign in life by the one Jesus Christ:)

Or has not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour?

And if God, minded to shew his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much long-suffering vessels of wrath fitted for destruction;

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

But if their fall be the world's wealth, and their loss the wealth of the nations, how much rather their fulness?

For if thou hast been cut out of the olive tree wild by nature, and, contrary to nature, hast been grafted into the good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who are according to nature be grafted into their own olive tree?

Let not him that eats make little of him that eats not; and let not him that eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him.

Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own master he stands or falls. And he shall be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand.

But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou make little of thy brother? for we shall all be placed before the judgment-seat of God.

for Macedonia and Achaia have been well pleased to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who are in Jerusalem.

Salute Maria, who laboured much for you.

Salute Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute Persis, the beloved, who has laboured much in the Lord.
