At all times in my prayers, - making supplication - if, by some means, even now, at any time, I may have a way opened, in the will of God, to come unto you;

Now I want you to know, brothers, that I often planned to come to you (but was prevented until now) in order that I might have a fruitful ministry among you, just as among the rest of the Gentiles.

For the righteousness of God by faith is therein revealed for belief; as it is written, "Now the just by faith shall live."

Now they knew who God was, but they did not honor Him as God or thank Him [for their blessings]. Instead they engaged in their useless speculations and their foolish minds were filled with [spiritual] darkness.

Now we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who do such things.

Now if you call yourself a Jew, and rest in the law, boast in God,

Now circumcision benefits you only if you practice the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision is no better than uncircumcision.

Now if our wrongdoing serves to emphasize more clearly that God does what is right, what should we say about that? Is God being unjust for sending [His] wrath [on the world]? (I am raising a human objection).

Well now, are we Jews in a better position? Not at all. I have already charged all, Jews as well as Greeks, with being under sin ??10 as it is written, None is righteous, no, not one;

Now we know that whatsoever the law saith,

Now we know that, whatsoever things the law saith, to them who are within the law, it speaketh, in order that, every mouth, may be stopped and all the world come, under penal sentence, unto God.

But now, apart from law, a righteousness of God hath been manifested, borne witness to by the law and the prophets, -

but they are now being justified by his free grace through the deliverance that is in Christ Jesus.

And to make clear his righteousness now, so that he might himself be upright, and give righteousness to him who has faith in Jesus.

Do we then [intend to] destroy law [observance] because faith [in Christ is now required]? Certainly not! But [instead], we uphold [the validity of] law.

Now, unto him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned by way of favour but by way of obligation,

Now does this happiness come to the Jews alone, or to the heathen peoples too? For we say, "Abraham's faith was credited to him as right standing."

Now the law worketh wrath; for where there is no law, there is no transgression.

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

Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was reckoned unto him,

Through whom, in the same way, we have been able by faith to come to this grace in which we now are; and let us have joy in hope of the glory of God.

And not only this, but [with joy] let us exult in our sufferings and rejoice in our hardships, knowing that hardship (distress, pressure, trouble) produces patient endurance;

now hope will not deceive us, because the love of God is diffused thro' our hearts, by the holy spirit which is given to us;

now for a wicked man no one would willingly die; but for a benefactor some have readily offer'd to die.

Much more, then, having now been declared righteous by his blood, shall we be saved through him from the anger.

For if, when we were haters of God, the death of his Son made us at peace with him, much more, now that we are his friends, will we have salvation through his life;

And, not only, so, but are even boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, - through whom, now, the reconciliation we have received.

for sin was in the world before the law. Now sin is not imputed where there is no law;

Yet [physical] death ruled [over mankind] from the time of Adam to Moses, even over those people who had not sinned the way Adam did. [Now] Adam prefigured the coming of Jesus.

So then, just as [God's] judgment came, condemning all people [to physical death] because of one sin [i.e., Adam's]; even so the free gift of being made right with God and [resulting in] life may be received by all people because of one man's [i.e., Christ's] act of righteousness. [Note: This "life" may refer to spiritual life now, or to being made alive in the resurrection, which would reverse the curse of physical death caused by Adam's sin].

Now the law came in as a side issue, in order that the trespass could increase, but where sin increased, grace was present in greater abundance,

Now what are we to infer from this? That we are to 'remain on in sin, so that there may be all the more grace'?

knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him in order that the body of sin might be destroyed, that from now on we should not serve sin.

Now, if we have died together with Christ, we believe that we shall also live together with him;

For by the death He died He once for all ended His relation to sin, and by the life He now is living He lives in unbroken relation to God.

Do not offer any part of your bodies to Sin, in the cause of unrighteousness, but once for all offer yourselves to God (as those who, though once dead, now have Life), and devote every part of your bodies to the cause of righteousness.

For sin must not any longer exert its mastery over you, for now you are not living as slaves to law but as subjects to God's favor.

But praise be to God that though you were the servants of sin, you have now given yourselves freely to that form of teaching under which you were placed;

Now, having got your freedom from sin, ye have become bondmen to righteousness.

In human fashion am I speaking, because of the weakness of your flesh; - for, just as ye presented your members as servants unto impurity and unto lawlessness for lawlessness, so now, present ye your members as servants unto righteousness for sanctification.

What fruit, therefore, had ye then - in things for which ye now are taking shame to yourselves? For, the end of those things, is death.

Whereas, now, having been freed from sin, and made servants unto God, ye have your fruit for sanctification and, the end, life age-abiding.

now a married woman is bound by the law to her living husband: but if her husband dieth, she is released from the marriage-contract.

Therefore, my fellow believers, you too died to the Law through the [crucified] body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.

But, now, we have received full release from the law, by dying in that wherein we used to be held fast, so that we should be doing service - in newness of spirit and not in obsoleteness of letter.

Now, did something good bring me death? Of course not! But in order that sin might be recognized as being sin, it used something good to cause my death, so that through the rule, sin might become more exposed as being sinful than ever before.

Now, if what I wish not the same I do, I consent unto the law that it is right.

Now, however, no longer am, I, working it out, but the, sin, that dwelleth in me:

Now, if what I wish not, the same, I do, no longer am, I, working it out, but the, sin, that dwelleth in me.

Hence there is now, no, condemnation unto them who are in Christ Jesus;

So that the requirements of the Law might be satisfied in us who live now in obedience, not to our earthly nature, but to the Spirit.

now sensual inclinations lead to death; but spiritual affections to a life of tranquillity.

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Now if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

But if the Spirit of him who made Jesus come again from the dead is in you, he who made Christ Jesus come again from the dead will in the same way, through his Spirit which is in you, give life to your bodies which now are under the power of death.

Therefore, brethren, we are now debtors; not to the flesh, to live after the flesh:

For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading again to fear [of God’s judgment], but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons [the Spirit producing sonship] by which we [joyfully] cry, “Abba! Father!”

and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; although we now suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

For I count as nothing what we now suffer, in comparison with the glory which will soon be unveiled to us.

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

Now in this hope we were saved, yet hope that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees?

Now he that trieth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, for he maketh intercession for the saints according to God's will.

We know too, that all things co-operate for the good of those who love God, who, pursuant to his purpose, has now called them:

Now what follows from all this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

who can condemn them? Christ Jesus who died, or rather, who was raised from the dead, is now at God's right hand, and is actually pleading for us.

Now it is not supposable that the word of God hath failed. For these are not all Israel, who are of Israel:

For this is what the promise declared: "About a year from now I will return and Sarah will have a son."

Now if God wants to demonstrate his wrath and reveal his power, can't he be extremely patient with the objects of his wrath that are made for destruction?

Now such are we whom he has called, not only from among the Jews, but also from among the Gentiles.

For Christ marks the termination of law, so that now anyone who has faith may attain uprightness.

Now the Scripture says, Everyone who believes on Him will not be put to shame,

Lord, they have put your prophets to death, and made waste your altars, and now I am the last, and they are searching for me to take away my life.

So, now also, there is a small minority which has been selected by God's unearned favor [i.e., to be saved].

Now if by grace, then it is not by works; otherwise grace ceases to be grace.

Now what are we to infer from this? That Israel has failed to secure the object of its quest; the elect have secured it, and the rest have been rendered insensible to it ??8 as it is written, God has given them a spirit of torpor, eyes that see not, ears that hear not ??down to this very day.

And so Scripture says, "God has given them a spirit of drowsiness--eyes to see nothing with and ears to hear nothing with--even until now."

I say then, did the Jews trip [over Jesus] just so they could fall [away from God]? Certainly not! [There was another reason]: Instead, it was by means of their sin that salvation was made available to the Gentiles, so that the Jews might become jealous of them [i.e., causing them to want what the Gentiles now had].

Now if their stumbling brings riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full number bring!

Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. In view of the fact that I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

Now if the firstfruits offered up are holy, so is the whole batch. And if the root is holy, so are the branches.

Now if some of the branches were broken off, and you, though a wild olive branch, were grafted in among them and have come to share in the rich root of the cultivated olive tree,

Very well, but it was for lack of faith that they were broken off, and it is through your faith that you now stand where you are. Stop your haughty thinking, rather continue to be reverent,

Now in response to the [proclamation of the] good news [about Christ], the Jews became [God's] enemies for the sake of you [Gentiles]. But concerning [God's] select people, these Jews became [God's] dearly loved ones for the sake of their forefathers [i.e, who believed God's promises regarding their descendants].

For, just as, ye, at one time had not yielded unto God, and yet now have received mercy by their refusal to yield,

So, these also, have now refused to yield, by your own mercy, in order that, themselves also, should now become objects of mercy;

Now it is by virtue of my apostolical commission, that I charge every man among you, not to entertain too high an opinion of himself; but modestly consider, that 'tis God who has dealt to every man his proportion of spiritual gifts.

Now as we have many parts in one body, and all the parts do not have the same function,

Now, having gifts of favour, according to the favour given unto us, differing - whether prophesying, let us use it according to the proportion of our faith,

Every one should be in the higher authorities; for there is no authority apart from God. The authorities that now exist have been appointed by God.

See then that the time has come for you to be awake from sleep: for now is your salvation nearer than when you first had faith.

Now receive the one who is weak in faith, [but] not for quarrels about opinions.

For this is the reason that Christ died and [now] lives again, so that He could be Lord of both those who have [already] died and those who are [still] alive.

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

Now we who are strong have an obligation to bear the weaknesses of those without strength, and not to please ourselves.

Now those things which were put down in writing before our time were for our learning, so that through quiet waiting and through the comfort of the holy Writings we might have hope.

Now may the God who gives comfort and strength in waiting make you of the same mind with one another in harmony with Christ Jesus:

Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision to give effect to the undertakings given by God to the fathers,

Now may the God of hope make you full of joy and peace through faith, so that all hope may be yours in the power of the Holy Spirit.

My brothers, I myself am convinced about you that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to instruct one another.

Now in Christ Jesus I can be proud of my work for God.
