and I always ask in my prayers, if perhaps now at last I may succeed in visiting you according to the will of God.

I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I often intended to come to you (and was prevented until now), so that I may have some fruit even among you, just as I already have among the rest of the Gentiles.

Now we know that God's judgment is in accordance with truth against those who practice such things.

Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world may be held accountable to God.

But now apart from the law the righteousness of God (which is attested by the law and the prophets) has been disclosed --

Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited due to grace but due to obligation.

Much more then, because we have now been declared righteous by his blood, we will be saved through him from God's wrath.

Not only this, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation.

Now the law came in so that the transgression may increase, but where sin increased, grace multiplied all the more,

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.

(I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.) For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

So what benefit did you then reap from those things that you are now ashamed of? For the end of those things is death.

But now, freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life.

But now we have been released from the law, because we have died to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code.

But now it is no longer me doing it, but sin that lives in me.

Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer me doing it but sin that lives in me.

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him.

For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers together until now.

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

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

Now if their transgression means riches for the world and their defeat means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full restoration bring?

Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Seeing that I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

Now if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among them and participated in the richness of the olive root,

Just as you were formerly disobedient to God, but have now received mercy due to their disobedience,

so they too have now been disobedient in order that, by the mercy shown to you, they too may now receive mercy.

And do this because we know the time, that it is already the hour for us to awake from sleep, for our salvation is now nearer than when we became believers.

Now receive the one who is weak in the faith, and do not have disputes over differing opinions.

Now may the God of endurance and comfort give you unity with one another in accordance with Christ Jesus,

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in him, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

But now there is nothing more to keep me in these regions, and I have for many years desired to come to you

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

Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to join fervently with me in prayer to God on my behalf.

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

Now I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea,

Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who create dissensions and obstacles contrary to the teaching that you learned. Avoid them!

Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that had been kept secret for long ages,

but now is disclosed, and through the prophetic scriptures has been made known to all the nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith --
