therefore am I ready, as much as in me lies, to preach the gospel to you also that are at Rome.

Much, every way: chiefly, because they were intrusted with the oracles of God.

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through Him.

For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more being reconciled shall we be saved by his life.

But not as the offence, so also is the free gift: for if through the offence of one many died, much more hath the grace of God, and the gift bestowed by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

For if, by the offence of one, death reigned through one, much more they who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life through one, even Jesus Christ.

And what if God, though resolved to shew his displeasure at last, and to make known his power, yet bore with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction?

Now if their fall be the riches of the world, and their diminution be the riches of the Gentiles, how much more will their fulness be?

For if thou wert cut out of the wild olive, which was natural to thee, and contrary to nature were grafted into a good olive; how much more shall these who are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive-tree?

If it be possible, as much as ye can, live peaceably with all men.

And thus I have been much hindered from coming to you:

Salute Mary, who took much pains on our account.

Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who are labouring in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, who hath laboured much in the Lord.
