This then is the reason why God gave them up to vile passions. For not only did the women among them exchange the natural use of their bodies for one which is contrary to nature, but the men also,

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

but self-seeking people who are disloyal to the truth and responsive only to what is wrong will experience anger and fury,

For it is not the hearers of the law who will be judged as having righteousness before God, but only the doers:

Circumcision will help you only if you observe the Law; but if you are a lawbreaker, you might as well be uncircumcised.

and shall not the uncircumcision that is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law? for he is not a Jew, who is only so in appearance;

For he is not a [real] Jew who is only one outwardly, nor is [true] circumcision something external and physical.

Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

since there is only one God who will justify the circumcised on the basis of faith and the uncircumcised by that same faith.

Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

He only got circumcision as a sign or seal of the righteousness which belonged to his faith as an uncircumcised man. The object of this was to make him the father of all who believe as uncircumcised persons and thus have righteousness counted to them,

And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.

For if [only] those who are obedient to the law deserve an inheritance, [then their] faith [in God] is for nothing, and God's promise is nullified.

For the Law only brings down God's wrath; where there is no law, there is no violation of it.

Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

Nor was the fact of its being placed to his credit put on record for his sake only;

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

For only rarely will someone die on behalf of a righteous person (for on behalf of a good person possibly someone might even dare to die),

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

For prior to the Law sin was already in the world; only it is not entered in the account against us when no Law exists.

But the Law came to increase and expand [the awareness of] the trespass [by defining and unmasking sin]. But where sin increased, [God’s remarkable, gracious gift of] grace [His unmerited favor] has surpassed it and increased all the more,

Or do you not know, brothers and sisters (for I am speaking to those who know the Law), that the Law has jurisdiction [to rule] over a person as long as he lives?

for the Spirit's Law-- telling of Life in Christ Jesus--has set me free from the Law that deals only with sin and death.

For only those are sons of God who are led by God's Spirit.

And if [we are His] children, [then we are His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His spiritual blessing and inheritance], if indeed we share in His suffering so that we may also share in His glory.

And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

For we were saved only in hope. But hope which is seen is not hope; how can a man hope for that which he seeth?

He who did not keep back his only Son, but gave him up for us all, will he not with him freely give us all things?

Who will give a decision against us? It is Christ Jesus who not only was put to death, but came again from the dead, who is now at the right hand of God, taking our part.

And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;

And what if God, intending to reveal his displeasure and make his power known, bore most patiently with the objects of his displeasure, though they were fit only to be destroyed,

Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

And Isaiah calls out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the sons of Israel be like the sand of the sea, it is only the remnant [a small believing minority] that will be saved [from God’s judgment];

I can vouch for their zeal for God; only, it is not zeal with knowledge.

Lord, they have killed Your prophets
and torn down Your altars.
I am the only one left,
and they are trying to take my life!

What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking [that is, God’s favor by obedience to the Law], but the elect [those chosen few] obtained it, while the rest of them became hardened and callously indifferent;

I say then, Have they therefore stumbled that they should but fall only? God forbid: but through their fall is salvation happened unto the gentiles for to provoke them withal.

Some, however, of the branches were broken off, and you, who were only a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and came to share with them the root which is the source of the richness of the cultivated olive.

This is true; yet it was their unbelief that cut them off, and you only stand through your faith.

Brothers, for fear that you should think too highly of yourselves, I want you to recognize the truth, hitherto hidden, that the callousness which has come over Israel is only partial, and will continue only till the whole Gentile world has been gathered in.

For God has imprisoned all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all [Jew and Gentile alike].

Or who has given him something only to have him pay it back?"

Render no man evil for evil. mind such things as are approved not only by God, but by men.

Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

One believes [he may] eat all [things], but the one who is weak eats [only] vegetables.

Who [do you think] you are, to pass judgment on someone else's household servant? He stands [approved] or falls [into disapproval] before his own Master [only]. Yes, [surely] he will stand [approved], for the Lord is capable of helping him to stand.

The person who observes a certain day [as specially sacred], does so out of devotion to the Lord. And the person who eats [only certain foods] does so out of devotion to the Lord, for he is thankful to God [for what he eats]. And the person who refuses to eat [certain foods], does so out of devotion to the Lord and he is thankful to God [for what he does eat].

For none of us lives for his own benefit [only], and none of us dies for his own benefit [only].

But you who eat vegetables only -- why do you judge your brother or sister? And you who eat everything -- why do you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.

Through my union with the Lord Jesus, I know and am persuaded that nothing is 'defiling in itself.' A thing is 'defiling' only to him who holds it to be so.

The faith which you have [that gives you freedom of choice], have as your own conviction before God [just keep it between yourself and God, seeking His will]. Happy is he who has no reason to condemn himself for what he approves.

For I am bold enough to tell you only about what the Messiah has accomplished through me in bringing gentiles to obedience. By my words and actions,

by the force of miracles and marvels, by the power of the Spirit of God. Thus from Jerusalem right round to Illyricum, I have been able to complete the preaching of the gospel of Christ ??20 my ambition always being to preach it only in places where there had been no mention of Christ's name, that I might not build on foundations laid by others,

In all this it has been my ambition to preach the good news only where Christ's name was unknown, so as not to build on foundations other men had laid.

Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

Now may there be glory for ever, through Jesus Christ, to the only wise God, who is able to make you stand firm [in the faith], according to the good news and proclamation of Jesus Christ. This message is the secret which was [eventually] revealed, after having been kept quiet about for long ages.

has now been disclosed and made known on the basis of the prophetic scriptures (by command of the eternal God) to all the Gentiles for their obedience to the faith ??27 to the only wise God be glory through Jesus Christ for ever and ever: Amen.]

To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
