but powerfully declared to be the Son of God, according to the spirit of holiness, by his resurrection from the dead, even Jesus Christ our Lord;

And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I often purposed to come unto you, (but have been hindered hitherto) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other Gentiles.

so that they are inexcusable; because having thus known God they glorified Him not as God, neither were they thankful; but were infatuated by their own reasonings, and their heart being void of understanding was darkened.

who though they knew the just judgement of God, (that they who commit such practises are worthy of death) yet not only do these very things, but also countenance and encourage others in the practice of them.

But we know that the judgement of God is according to truth against those that do such things.

But by thy hardness and impenitence of heart thou art treasuring up to thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the just judgement of God,

but to those who are contentious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath.

but glory, and honor, and peace to every one that worketh good, both to the Jew, and to the Greek:

(for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified:

For circumcision indeed is profitable, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.

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

"But if our unrighteousness confirm the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is not God unrighteous, who inflicteth his wrath?" (I speak as a man) God forbid:

"But, say you, if the truth of God hath abounded unto his glory through my falshood, why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

But now, without the law, righteousness before God is manifested, being attested by the law and the prophets;

Where then is boasting? it is excluded: by what law? of works? no: but by the law of faith.

for if Abraham were justified by works, he hath something to boast of; but this he hath not before God:

Now to him that worketh the reward is not reckoned as a favor, but as a debt:

but to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him who justifieth the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

How then was it accounted to him? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

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

For the promise made to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world, was not by the law, but by the righteousness of faith:

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

He hesitated not at the promise of God through unbelief: but was strong in faith, giving glory to God,

but for our sakes also, to him it will be imputed, as we believe on Him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead:

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

But God recommendeth his love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

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

But not as the offence, so also is the free gift: for if through the offence of one many died, much more hath the grace of God, and the gift bestowed by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

For the gift is not as the sentence was by one that sinned; for the sentence is passed from one offence to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences to justification.

Now the law made some entrance, that the offence might appear to abound; but where sin abounded, grace hath superabounded; that as sin had reigned in death,

but as He liveth, He liveth unto God.

So also do ye reckon yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Neither yield your bodies as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.

For sin shall have no power over you, inasmuch as ye are not under the law, but under grace.

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace?

But thanks be to God, that ye who were servants of sin, have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered to you:

But now being set free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

For a married woman is bound by the law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband die, she is discharged from the law of her husband.

Therefore while her husband is living, she shall be called an adulteress if she become another man's: but if her husband be dead, she is free from the law; so that she is not an adulteress, though she become another man's.

But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead by which we were bound, that we might serve God in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

What shall we say then? is the law sin? God forbid! Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust to be sinful, if the law had not said, "Thou shalt not covet."

But sin taking occasion by the commandment wrought in me all manner of concupiscence: for without the law sin was dead.

And I was heretofore alive without the law: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died:

Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid! But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good: that sin might be shewn by the commandment to be exceeding sinful.

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

For that which I do, I allow not: for I do not that which I would; but what I hate, this I do.

but now I am no more the doer of it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

For I know that in me (that is in my flesh) dwelleth no good: for to will is present with me, but how to perform that which is good, I find not.

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

Now if I do that which I would not, I am no more the doer of it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

but I perceive another law in my body warring against the law of my mind, and captivating me to the law of sin, which is in my body.

The grace of God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with my mind I serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit.

that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit.

For they who are after the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; but they who are led by the Spirit, do mind spiritual things.

Now to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace:

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if the Spirit of God dwelleth in you: but if any one hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

And if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

for if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if by the Spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

(for the world was subjected to vanity, not willingly, but through him who made it subject:)

And not only others, but those also who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit the redemption of our body.

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen, is not hope; for what any one sees, how doth he yet hope for?

but if we hope for what we see not, then we wait for it with patience.

And the Spirit likewise helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for, as we ought: but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with unutterable groans.

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him freely give us all things?

but in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.

Nor because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children of promise: but "in Isaac shall thy seed be called."

That is, not the children of the flesh are the children of God, but the children of the promise are accounted for the seed.

and not to her only; but Rebecca also being with child by our father Isaac,

(when the children were not yet born, nor had done either good or evil, that the purpose of God according to his choice might abide, not on account of works, but of Him that calleth,) it was said to her, the elder shall serve the younger:

So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

Nay but, O man, who art thou, that disputest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus?

whom He hath also called, even us, not only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles.

but Israel, who followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness: why?

because they sought it not by faith, but by the works of the law, for they stumbled at that stumbling-stone;

For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh thus, "Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven, (that is, to bring Christ down) or,

bring up Christ from the dead)" but what saith it? "The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart." This is the word of faith which we preach: that if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,

But how shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

But all have not obeyed the gospel: for Esaias saith, "Lord, who hath believed our report?"

But I say, Have they not heard? Verily their sound is gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

But I say again, Did not Israel know this? when first Moses saith, "I will move you to jealousy by those who are not a people, I will provoke you to anger by a foolish nation:"

But what saith the oracle of God to him? "I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."

And if by grace, it is no more of works: for then grace is no longer grace. But if of works, it is no more grace: for then work is no longer work.

What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he sought: but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded,

Say I then, Have they stumbled, that they should fall irrecoverably? God forbid! but this I say, that by their fall salvation is come to the Gentiles to excite them to emulation.

for if the rejecting of them be the reconciling of the world, what will the receiving them again be but life from the dead?

But if some of the branches were broken off, and thou a wild-olive wert grafted in among them, and art made a partaker together with them of the root and fatness of the olive; boast not against the branches:

and if thou boastest, remember thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

Well; they were broken off for their infidelity, and thou standest by faith: therefore be not high-minded but fear.

Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: towards them that fell, severity; but towards thee, goodness; if thou continue in his goodness: for else thou also shalt be cut off.

As to the gospel indeed they are enemies on your account, but as to the election they are beloved on account of the fathers.

For as ye were heretofore disobedient to God, but have now obtained mercy in their disobedience:

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may experience what is the good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.

For by the grace conferred on me I charge every one among you, not to think of himself above what he ought to think: but to think with sobriety, according as God hath divided to every man the measure of faith.

But having different gifts, according to the grace conferred upon us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith:

Be alike affected to each other: not aiming at high things, but accommodating yourselves to persons of low rank. Be not wise in your own conceit.

Avenge not yourselves, my beloved; but rather give place to the wrath of others: for it is written, "Vengeance belongeth to me, I will recompence, saith the Lord."
