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, indeed, having acknowledged the righteous sentence of God, - that, they who such things as these do practise, are worthy of death, not only, the same things, are doing, but are even delighting together with them who are practising 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:

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

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;

The true Jew is not one who is only so publicly, and circumcision is not that which may be seen in the flesh:

Or, is God the God, of Jews only, and not of the nations also? Yea! of the nations also: -

For it is God only which justifieth circumcision, which is of faith: and uncircumcision through 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 father of circumcision - unto them who are not of circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of the faith, while yet uncircumcised, of our father Abraham.

for if they only who are of the law have right of possession, faith is made useless, and the promise becomes of no effect.

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

For this cause, it is by faith, in order that it may be by way of favour, so that the promise is firm unto all the seed, - not unto that by the law only, but unto that also which is such by the faith of Abraham; who is father of us all, -

It is not written for him only, that it was reckoned to him for righteousness:

And, not only so, but let us boast also in our tribulations; knowing that, our tribulation, worketh out endurance.

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 are even boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, - through whom, now, the reconciliation we have received.

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,

Do you not know, brothers -- for I speak to those who are acquainted with the law -- that the law can press its claim over a man only so 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 so, but, we ourselves, also, who have the first-fruit of the Spirit - weeven ourselves, within our own selves do sigh, - sonship ardently awaiting - the redeeming 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 so, but, when, Rebekah also, was with child, of one - Isaac our father, -

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,

Whom he also called, even us, not only from among Jews, but also from among the nations, what then?

But Isaiah cries out concerning Israel:

Though the number of Israel’s sons
is like the sand of the sea,
only the remnant will be saved;

For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, only it is a zeal without 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.

If some of the branches have been broken off, and you who were only a wild olive shoot have been grafted in, in place of them, and made to share the richness of the olive's root,

That's right! They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you remain only because of faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid!

For to keep you from being self-conceited, brothers, I do not want to have a misunderstanding of this uncovered secret, that only temporary insensibility has come upon Israel until the full quota of the heathen peoples comes 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 it is necessary to be in subjection, - not only because of the anger, but also because of the conscience;

One man has faith to take all things as food: another who is feeble in faith takes only green food.

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 why do you [who eat only certain foods] condemn your brother [who feels he can eat anything]? Or, indeed, why do you [i.e., who feels he can eat anything] look down on your brother [i.e., who eats only certain foods]? For all of us will have to stand before the judgment bar of God.

I know, being fully assured by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: it is only so to him that thinks it is unclean.

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 would venture to mention only what Christ has accomplished through me in bringing the heathen peoples to obedience, by word and by work,

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 for my life put their necks in danger; to whom not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are in debt:

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 the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory for ever. So be it.
