First, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in all the world.

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

asking if by any means I may now at some time have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come to you.

For I greatly desire to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, that you may be strengthened,

that is, that I may be comforted in you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

so that as far as depends upon me I am ready also to preach the gospel to those at Rome.

and they show the work of the law written in their minds, their consciences testifying with them, and their judgments mutually acusing or defending one another;??16 in the day when God shall judge the secret [doings] of men according to my gospel through Jesus Christ.

For if the truth of God abounded by my falsehood to his glory, why am I also yet judged as a sinner?

And as we are falsely accused and as some declare that we say, [do we say] Let us do evil that good may come? Whose judgment is just.

But we know that whatever the law says, it says to those having the law, that every mouth may be stopped and all the world become guilty before God.

to show his righteousness at the present time, that he may be righteous and justify him that is of faith.

And he received the symbol of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which was in uncircumcision, so that he became the father of all that believe in uncircumcision, that righteousness may also be accounted to them,

Therefore it is by faith that it may be by grace, that the promise may be sure to all the posterity, not to that of the law only but to that of the faith of Abraham, who is a father of us all,

WHAT shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that the grace may abound?

So, my brothers, you have also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you should be married to another, to him that was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.

But Sin having taken occasion through the commandment wrought in me every inordinate desire; for without the law sin was dead.

For sin having taken occasion through the commandment deceived me, and through it killed me.

Did then that which is good become death to me? By no means, but sin; that sin might be made manifest, producing death to me through that which is good, that sin might become exceedingly sinful through the commandment.

and now I no longer do it, but the sin that dwells in me.

For I know that in me, that is in my flesh, there dwells no good. For to wish is present with me, but to do the good is not;

But if what I wish not this I do, I no longer do it, but sin which dwells in me.

I find therefore the law, that when I wish to do good evil is present with me;

for I consent to the law of God as to my inward man, [my soul],

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

Miserable man that I am; who will deliver me from the body of this death?

for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and death.

that the righteous ordinance of the law may be performed by us who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.

And if children, [we are] also heirs, heirs indeed of God and co-heirs with Christ, if we suffer with him that we may also be glorified with him.

For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he may be a first-born among many brothers;

I SPEAK the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness with the Holy Spirit,

that I have great grief and continual pain in my heart;

for I have wished that I was myself accursed from Christ for my brothers, my kindred according to the flesh,

For he says to Moses, I will be merciful to him to whom I may be merciful, and I will compassionate him whom I may compassionate.

For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, For this same cause I raised you up, to show my power in you, and that my name may be declared in all the earth.

You will say to me then, Why then does he yet find fault? for who has resisted his will?

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?

as he says also in Hosea, I will call them that were not my people, my people, and her that was not beloved, beloved,

and in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, there they shall be called children of the living God.

Brothers, the earnest desire and prayer of my heart for Israel is for their salvation.

But Isaiah is more bold and says, I was found by them that sought me not, I was made manifest to them that inquired not after me.

But in respect to Israel he says, All the day I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contradicting people.

Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have dug down thy altars, and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

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

For I speak to you, gentiles. Inasmuch as I am an apostle of the gentiles, I glorify my ministry,

if perhaps I may excite my flesh [race] to emulation and save some of them.

For I wish you not to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery; that you may not be wise in your own conceit. For hardness in part has come upon Israel, till the fullness of the gentiles shall come in,

And this is the promise to them from me, when I take away their sins.

so also they now have disobeyed that they may obtain mercy by your mercy.

For God has concluded all in disobedience that he may have mercy on all.

and be not conformed to this life, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind, that you may prove what is the will of God which is good and well-pleasing and perfect.

For I say through the grace given me, to every one among you, not to be higher-minded than he ought to be, but to think soberly, as God has distributed to each the measure of faith.

if possible, as much as may be in your power, live peaceably with all men,

For it is written, [As] I live, says the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess to God.

for Christ also pleased not himself, but, as it is written, The reproaches of those that reproached thee fell on me.

For those things which were written before were written for our instruction, that through patience and the consolation of the Scriptures we may have hope.

that being of one mind you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with one mouth.

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

And I am persuaded, my brothers, even I myself, concerning you, that you are full of kindness, filled with all knowledge, and able to admonish one another;

but I have written more boldly to you in part, to refresh your minds on account of the grace given me by God

that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the nations, administering as a priest the gospel of God, that the offering of the nations may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

for I dare not to speak of what Christ has not performed by me for the obedience of the nations, by word and work,

But I exhort you by the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in prayers to God for me,

that I may be delivered from those that obey not in Judea, and that my service which is for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,

that I may come to you with joy by the will of God, and be refreshed together with you.

And may the God of peace be with you all; amen.

that you receive her in the Lord worthily of the saints, and assist her in any thing in which she may have need of you; for she has been an assistant of many, and of myself also.
