Making request (if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey by the will of God) to come to you.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come to you (but have been hitherto hindered) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

Because that when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

For there is no respect of persons with God.

By no means: verily let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mayest be justified in thy sayings, and mayest overcome when thou art judged.

By no means: for then how shall God judge the world?

What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Now we know that whatever things the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

Therefore by the deeds of the law, there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being testified by the law and the prophets;

Even the righteousness of God, which is by faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all them that believe; for there is no difference:

Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? No; but by the law of faith.

Do we then make void the law through faith? By no means: but we establish the law.

Now to him that worketh, is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

For if they who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of no effect.

Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb.

Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

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

And not only so, but we also joy in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

For until the law, sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

By no means: how shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death?

Now if we are dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

Knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? By no means.

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants in obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

I speak after the manner of men, because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity, to (work) iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness, to (work) holiness.

What fruit had ye then in those things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

But now being made free from sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit to holiness, and the end everlasting life.

Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law) that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?

So then, if while her husband liveth, she is married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband is dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead by which we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? By no means. No, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

Was then that which is good made death to me? By no means. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good, I find not.

Now if I do that which I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. Now if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

For we know that the whole creation groaneth, and travaileth in pain together until now:

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

And we know that all things work together for good, to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Not as though the word of God hath taken no effect. For they are not all Israel, who are descendants from Israel?

What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? By no means.

No, but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all, is rich to all that call upon him,

But I say, Did not Israel know? First, Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.

I say then, Hath God cast away his people? By no means. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

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.

And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? By no means: but rather through their fall salvation is come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.

Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?

For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief;

Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but from God: the powers that are, are ordained by God.

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

Love worketh no ill to one's neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

And this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

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

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling-block, or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean by itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

But if thy brother is grieved with thy food, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy food, for whom Christ died.

Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like-minded one towards another according to Christ Jesus:

Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers:

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

But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come to you;

But now I go to Jerusalem to minister to the saints.

Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

Now to him that is able to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which hath been kept secret since the world began,

But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
