for in it is revealed God's righteousness, from faith to faith; as it has been written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."

because, having known God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor did they give thanks; but they became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened.

who, indeed, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with those who practice them.

but, after your hardness and impenitent heart, you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

but to those who are contentious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there shall be wrath and indignation,

but glory and honor and peace to every one who works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:

for not the hearers of law are righteous before God, but the doers shall be justified;

But, if you are called a Jew, and are resting upon the law, and are boasting in God,

For circumcision, indeed, profits, if you do the law; but, if you are transgressors of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

but he is a Jew, who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God.

May it not be! But let God be true, and every man a liar; as it has been written, "That Thou mayest be justified in Thy words; and mayest overcome, when Thou judgest."

But, if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous, Who visits with wrath? (I speak after the manner of a man).

But, if the truth of God, through my lie, abounded unto His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

But now, apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

Where, then, is the boasting? It was excluded. By what manner of law? Of works? Nay; but by a law of faith.

For, if Abraham was justified by works, he has ground of boasting, but not toward God.

Now to him that works the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt;

but to him that works not, but believes on Him Who justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

How, then, was it reckoned? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

and father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.

For, not through law, was the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world, but it was through the righteousness of faith.

for the law works wrath; but where there is no law, there is no transgression.

For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace; to the end that the promise may 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

but, in view of the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but was made strong in faith, giving glory to God,

but for ours also, to whom it will be reckoned, if we believe on Him Who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead;

And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations; knowing that tribulation works out patience;

But God commendeth His own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

and not only so, but we are rejoicing in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom we now received the reconciliation.

for until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not reckoned, when there is no law:

but yet death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who sinned not after the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a type of Him Who was to come.

But not as the trespass, so also is the free gift; for, if by the trespass of the one, the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the One Man, Christ Jesus, abound to the many.

And not as through one that sinned, so is the gift; for, indeed, the judgment came of one trespass unto condemnation; but the free gift came of many trespasses unto justification.

And the law entered, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did super-abound;

But, if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him;

For the death that He died, He died to Sin once for all; but the life that He liveth He liveth to God.

Even so reckon ye also yourselves dead, indeed, to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

For sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under law, but under grace.

What, then? May we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? It could not be!

But thanks be to God that, though ye were slaves of sin, ye did, however, obey from the heart that form of teaching unto which ye were delivered;

But now, having been made free from sin, and having been made slaves to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end eternal life;

for the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus, our Lord.

For the married woman has been bound by law to the living husband; but, if the husband dies, she is loosed from the law of the husband.

So, then, if, while the husband is living, she is married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress; but, if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she be joined to another man.

But now we have been fully discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

What, then, shall we say? Is the law sin? It could not be! But I had not known sin, except through law; for I would not know even coveting, if the law did not say, "You shall not covet;"

but sin, taking occasion through the commandment, wrought in me all manner of coveting; for apart from law sin is dead.

And I was alive apart from the law once; but, when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

Did, then, that which is good become death to me? It could not be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that sin, through the commandment, might become exceedingly sinful.

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

For what I accomplish, I know not; for not what I wish, this do I practice; but what I hate, this I do.

But, if what I wish not, this I do, I consent to the law that it is good.

And now no longer do I accomplish it, but the sin which dwells in me.

For I know that there dwells not in me, that is, in my flesh, any good; for to wish is present with me: but to do that which is good a not.

For the good that I wish, I do not; but the evil which I wish not, this I practice.

But, if what I wish not, this I do, it is no more I that perform it, but the sin that is dwelling in me.

but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! Accordingly, therefore, I myself with the mind, indeed, serve the law of God; but, with the flesh, the law of sin.

that the requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

For those who are according to the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if, indeed, the Spirit of God is dwelling in you. And, if any one has not the spirit of Christ, he is not His.

And, if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness.

for, if ye live according to the flesh, ye are going to die; but, if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

For ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received a spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, "Abba, Father."

For the creation was made subject to vanity, not of choice, but by reason of Him Who subjected it, in hope

and, not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruit of the Spirit, even we ourselves are groaning within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

For by hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for that which he sees?

But, if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience.

And, in like manner, the Spirit also helpeth our weakness; for we know not what to pray for as we ought; but the Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

He Who spared not His Own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

But it is not as though the word of God has failed: for they are not all Israel, who are of Israel;

neither, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children; but, "In Isaac shall your seed be called."

That is, the children of the flesh are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed.

And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, even by our father Isaac

(for, the children being not yet born, nor having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of Him Who calleth),

Even as it has been written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

So, then, it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God Who hath mercy.

Nay but, O man, who are you that reply against God ? Shall the thing formed say to Him Who formed it, "Why didst Thou make me thus?"

whom He also called, not from Jews only, but also from gentiles?

What, then, shall we say? that gentiles who were not following after righteous obtained righteousness, but a righteousness which is of faith;

but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not attain to such a law.

Wherefore? because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the Stone of stumbling;

as it has been written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a Stone of stumbling, and a Rock of offense; and he that believes on Him shall not be put to shame."

For I testify for them, that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge;

but the righteousness which is of faith speaks thus: "Say not in your heart, who shall ascend up into Heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down);

But what does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart; that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

For the Scripture says, "Whosoever believes on Him shall not be put to shame."

But they did not all obey the glad tidings. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who believed our report?"

But I say, did they not hear? Yes, verily, "Their sound went out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the inhabited earth."

But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says, "I will provoke you to rivalry by that which is no nation; by a nation void of understanding will I provoke you to anger."

But Isaiah is very bold, and says, "I was found by those who sought Me not; I became manifest to those who sought not after Me."

But in respect to Israel He saith, "All the day long did I spread out My hand to a disobedient and gain-saying people."

But what says the answer of God to him? "I left for Myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."

But, if by grace, it is no longer of works; otherwise the grace becomes no longer grace. [But, if of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise, the work is no longer work.]

What, then? What Israel is seeking for, this he did not obtain; but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened;

I Say, then, did they stumble, that they might fall? It could not be! But by their trespass salvation has come to the gentiles to provoke them to rivalry.

But I am speaking to you gentiles. Inasmuch, indeed, then, as I am an apostle of the gentiles, I glorify my ministry;

For, if the casting away of them is the reconciling of the world, what will the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

boast not against the branches. But, if you boast, it is not you that bear the root; but the root, you.
