In the first place, indeed, I praise my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how I unceasingly make mention of you always in my prayer;

For I long to see you, in order that I may impart unto you a certain spiritual grace, that you may be established;

but this is the consolation among you through faith in one another, both of you and me.

But I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that frequently I purposed to come to you, and was hindered hitherto, in order that I may have some fruit among you, as well as also among other Gentiles.

so to my utmost ability, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.

For when the Gentiles, not having the law, may by nature do the things of the law, they, not having the law, are a law unto themselves:

in the day when God will judge the secrets of men through my gospel according to Jesus Christ.

Then if uncircumcision may keep the righteousness of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

it could not be so: but let God be true, and every man a liar; as indeed it has been written, In order that you may be justified in your words, and shall prevail, in your judgment.

And if the truth of God through my falsehood abounded unto His glory, why am I still judged as a sinner?

are we not indeed thus traduced, and as some say we speak, that, Let us do evil in order that good may come? whose condemnation is just.

But we know that so many things as the law speaks, it says to those under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may become guilty before God.

blessed is the man of whom the Lord may not impute sin.

Therefore it is by faith, in order that it may be by grace; that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not only of the law, but also of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

in order that as sin reigned through death, so may grace reign also through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Then what shall we say? must we abide in sin, in order that grace may abound?

knowing this, that our old man is crucified along with him, in order that the body of sin may be destroyed, that we may no longer serve sin;

Whether are you ignorant, O brethren, for I speak to those knowing the law, for the law hath dominion over a man for so long time as he may live?

For a woman who is under her husband has been given to her husband by the law so long as he lives; but if the husband may die, she is free from the law of the husband.

Then if she may be married to another man, her husband still living, she will be designated an adulteress: but if her husband may die, she is free from the law; and is no adulteress, though she is married to another man.

So, my brethren, ye are dead to the law through the body of Christ, that ye should be married to another, to him who is risen from the dead, in order that we may bring forth fruit unto God.

But sin, taking occasion through the commandment, did work in me all concupiscence; for without law sin was dead.

For sin, taking occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it slew me.

Then did that which is good become death to me? it could not be so: but sin, that it may appear sin, through the good was working out death to me, in order that sin may be exceedingly sinful through the commandment.

but now it is no more I that do it, but sin dwelling in me.

For I know that in me, that is, in my carnal mind, there dwells no good thing. For to will is present with me, but to do that which is beautiful is not:

If I do that which I do not will, it is no longer I that do it, but sin dwelling in me.

Then I find a law, that, to me wishing to do that which is beautiful, that the evil is present with me:

but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

in order that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to depravity, but according to the spirit.

And if children, indeed heirs; truly heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if we suffer together, in order that we may also be glorified together.

I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,

that there is great sorrow to me and incessant grief to my heart.

For I would pray, that I myself might be an offering from Christ; in behalf of my brethren, my kindred according to the flesh:

For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very thing have I raised you up, that I may show forth my power in you, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.

Then thou wilt say to me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted his will?

O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Whether shall the thing formed say to him that formed it. Why did you make me thus?

as he says in Hosea, I will call them my people, who are not my people; and her beloved, who is not beloved:

and it shall come to pass, in the place in which it was said to them, You are not my people, there they shall be called the sons of the living God:

but Isaiah cries out in behalf of Israel, Though the number of sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.

Brethren, indeed the desire of my heart and my prayer to God in their behalf, is for their salvation.

That if you may confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and may believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved:

For every one who may call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

And how can they preach, unless they may be sent forth? as has been written, How beautiful are the feet of those, who preach the gospel of good things!

But Isaiah is bold, and says, I was found by those not seeking after me; and made manifest to those not inquiring after me.

But to Israel he says, All day long have I reached forth my hands to a gainsaying and disobedient people.

Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have digged down thine altars: and I am left alone, and they are seeking my life.

and let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always.

Then I say; Whether did they stumble that they may fall? it could not be so: but by their fall, salvation came to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy.

But I speak to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry:

if perchance I may provoke my flesh, and save some of them.

Then you will say, The branches were broken off, that I may be grafted in.

Then behold the goodness and severity of God: upon those who fell indeed, severity; but upon you the goodness of God, if you may abide in his goodness: since you too may be cut off.

But these also, if they may not abide in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.

I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to this mystery, in order that you may not he wise with yourselves, that blindness in part has happened unto Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles may come in;

And this is the covenant with me unto them, that I may take away their sins.

even also these were now disobedient, in order that through the mercy shown to you they themselves may now also obtain mercy.

For God has shut up all in unbelief, in order that he may have mercy on all.

and he not fashioned after this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

For I speak, through the grace which has been given unto me, for every one who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, as God has imparted to each one the measure of faith.

avenging not yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath; for it has been written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.

For unto this Christ died, and lives, in order that He may be Lord of the dead and of the living.

For it has been written; As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

but if he may eat doubting, he has been condemned, because it is not of faith; but every thing which is not of faith is sin.

for Christ did not please himself; but, as has been written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.

For so many things as were previously written were written for our instruction, in order that through the patience and through the consolation of the scriptures we may have hope.

But may the God of patience and consolation grant unto you to think the same things among one another with reference to Christ Jesus.

In order that you may with one accord with one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And the God of hope fill you in all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Ghost.

But I am indeed persuaded, my brethren, concerning you, that you are also full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, being able also to admonish one another.

But I have written unto you more boldly in part, as reminding you, on account of the grace which has been given unto me from God,

that I should be the minister of Christ Jesus unto the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles may be well received, having been sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

for I will not dare to speak anything save those things which Christ has wrought through me, unto the obedience of the Gentiles, in word and deed,

but being so ambitious not to preach the gospel, where Christ has been named, in order that I may not build on another man's foundation;

as I may journey into Spain, for I hope traveling through to see you, and by you to be sent forth thither, if in the first place I may be satisfied with your company??25 but now I journey to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints.

But I exhort you, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you cooperate with me in your prayers to God in my behalf;

in order that I may be delivered from those in Judea who do not believe, and my ministry may be acceptable to the saints in Jerusalem;

in order that you may receive her in the Lord, worthily of the saints, and that ye may assist her in whatsoever matters she may need you: for she has been a helper of many, and myself.

Salute Prisca and Aquila my fellow-laborers in Christ Jesus;

who laid down their neck for my life; and for whom not I alone hut all the churches of the Gentiles give thanks;

and the church in their house. Salute Epaenetus my beloved, who is the first fruit of Asia unto Christ.

Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsman and my fellow-soldiers, who are celebrated among the apostles, who were also in Christ before me.

Salute Ampliatus my beloved in the Lord.

Salute Urbanus our fellow-worker in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

To Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery having been hidden during the eternal times,
