that is, that I may be edified among you, and you also, through each others faith, both yours and mine.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all impiety and unrighteousness of men, who keep down the truth in unrighteousness.

and for the glory of the incorruptible God they substituted images of corruptible man, and of birds and fourfooted beasts and creeping things.

and in like manner the men also, neglecting the natural use of the female, burned with lust for one another, men with men practising that which is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due recompense of their error.

Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man that judgest, whoever thou art. For wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

And dost thou suppose, O man, who art judging those who do such things, and art thyself doing the same, that thou wilt escape the judgment of God?

Tribulation and distress will be upon every soul of man whose works are evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek;

in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to the gospel which I have preached.

but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, spiritual, not literal, whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Far be it! yea, let God be true, and every man a liar; as it is written, "That thou mayst be justified in thy words, and mayst overcome when thou art arraigned."

But if our unrighteousness serve to display the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicteth punishment? (I am speaking as men do.)

And why do you not say, as some slanderously charge us with saying, Let us do evil, that good may come? The condemnation of such men is just.

We conclude therefore, that a man is accepted as righteous through faith, without the works of the Law.

as David also speaketh of the blessedness of the man whom God accepteth as righteous without works:

Blessed is the man whom the Lord shall not charge with sin."

Now hardly for a righteous man will one die; perhaps, however, for a benefactor one might even dare to die.

So then as through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and thus [death] came through unto all men, because all sinned

But the free gift was not as the transgression. For if through the offence of the one the many died, much more hath the grace of God, and the gift which is by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ, abounded to the many.

And the free gift is not like what happened through one man who sinned. For sentence of condemnation followed one offence; but the free gift is a justification after many offences.

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

As then through one trespass all men have come under condemnation, so through one act of righteousness all obtain the gift of righteousness unto life.

For as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so through the obedience of the one man will the many be made righteous.

knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we might no longer be in slavery to sin;

I speak in a way common among men on account of the weakness of your flesh. For as ye once yielded your members as slaves to impurity and to iniquity, in order to commit iniquity, so now yield your members as bondmen to righteousness in order to become holy.

Know ye not, brethren, (for I am speaking to those who are acquainted with the Law,) that the Law hath dominion over a man only as long as he liveth?

So then, if while her husband is living she connect herself with another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband die, she is no longer bound by that law, so that she will not be an adulteress, though she connect herself with another man.

For I delight in the Law of God, as to the inward man;

Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from the body of this death?

For we were saved only in hope. But hope which is seen is not hope; how can a man hope for that which he seeth?

And not only so, but also when Rebecca had conceived by one man, our father Isaac,

Nay but, O man, who art thou that makest answer to God? Shall the thing that is wrought say to the workman, Why hast thou made me thus?

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the Law: "The man that hath done these things shall live by them."

For with the heart man believeth so as to obtain righteousness, and with the mouth professeth so as to obtain salvation.

and how shall men preach, unless they are sent forth? as it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!"

But what saith the answer of God to him? "I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."

Render to no one evil for evil; have regard to what is honorable in the sight of all men.

If it be possible, as far as dependeth on you, be at peace with all men.

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather make room for wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."

One man hath faith to eat every kind of food; another, who is weak, eateth herbs only.

One man esteemeth one day above another; another esteemeth every day alike: let each one be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it to the Lord;

for he who in this matter serveth Christ is wellpleasing to God, and approved by men.

Do not for the sake of food undo the work of God. All things indeed are clean; but that which is pure is evil for that man who eateth so as to be an occasion of sin.

Salute Rufus, the chosen in the Lord, and his mother, who is mine also.

For such men are not servants of our Lord Christ, but of their own appetites; and by good words and fair speeches they deceive the hearts of the simple.
