Paul, the servant of Jesus Christ, called unto the office to be an apostle, put apart to preach the Gospel of God,

But let God be truthful, [even if] everyone [else] is a liar. For it is written [Psa. 51:4], "[God], you should be proven right when you speak, and win [your case] when put on trial."

And they may have righteousness put to their credit, freely, by his grace, through the salvation which is in Christ Jesus:

whom God displayed publicly [before the eyes of the world] as a [life-giving] sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation (propitiation) by His blood [to be received] through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness [which demands punishment for sin], because in His forbearance [His deliberate restraint] He passed over the sins previously committed [before Jesus’ crucifixion].

But what does it say in the holy Writings? And Abraham had faith in God, and it was put to his account as righteousness.

But to him who without working has faith in him who gives righteousness to the evil-doer, his faith is put to his account as righteousness.

As David says that there is a blessing on the man to whose account God puts righteousness without works, saying,

Is this blessing, then, for the circumcision only, or in the same way for those who have not circumcision? for we say that the faith of Abraham was put to his account as righteousness.

And he was given the sign of circumcision as a witness of the faith which he had before he underwent circumcision: so that he might be the father of all those who have faith, though they have not circumcision, and so that righteousness might be put to their account;

as the Scripture says, "I have made you the father of many nations." That is, the promise is in force in the sight of God in whom he put his faith, the God who can bring the dead to life and can call to Himself the things that do not exist as though they did.

With no ground for hope, Abraham, sustained by hope, put faith in God; in order that, in fulfillment of the words-'So many shall thy descendants be,' he might become 'the Father of many nations.'

For which reason it was put to his account as righteousness.

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

But for us in addition, to whose account it will be put, if we have faith in him who made Jesus our Lord come back again from the dead,

who was betrayed and crucified because of our sins, and was raised [from the dead] because of our justification [our acquittal—absolving us of all sin before God].

And hope does not put to shame; because our hearts are full of the love of God through the Holy Spirit which is given to us.

But God puts his love for us beyond all doubt by the fact that Christ died on our behalf while we were still sinners.

(for until law sin was in the world; but sin is not put to account when there is no law;

Being conscious that our old man was put to death on the cross with him, so that the body of sin might be put away, and we might no longer be servants to sin.

Therefore, my brothers, you also were put to death in relation to the law through the crucified body of the Messiah, so that you may belong to another—to Him who was raised from the dead—that we may bear fruit for God.

And there was a time when I was living without the law: but when the law gave its orders, sin came to life and put me to death;

For sin seized the advantage, and by means of the Commandment it completely deceived me, and also put me to death.

For though it was impossible for the Law to do it, hampered as it was by our physical limitations, God, by sending his own Son in our sinful physical form, as a sin-offering, put his condemnation upon sin through his physical nature,

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

For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading again to fear [of God’s judgment], but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons [the Spirit producing sonship] by which we [joyfully] cry, “Abba! Father!”

For every living thing was put under the power of change, not by its desire, but by him who made it so, in hope

And in the same way the Spirit is a help to our feeble hearts: for we are not able to make prayer to God in the right way; but the Spirit puts our desires into words which are not in our power to say;

Who will bring any charge against God’s elect (His chosen ones)? It is God who justifies us [declaring us blameless and putting us in a right relationship with Himself].

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.

According as it is written, For thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we have been reckoned as sheep for slaughter.

For the holy Writings say to Pharaoh, For this same purpose did I put you on high, so that I might make my power seen in you, and that there might be knowledge of my name through all the earth.

What if God, desiring to let his wrath and his power be seen, for a long time put up with the vessels of wrath which were ready for destruction:

even as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

Because, not having knowledge of God's righteousness, and desiring to give effect to their righteousness, they have not put themselves under the righteousness of God.

For Christ has put an end to law as a way to right standing for everyone who puts his trust in Him.

For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

However, they have not all given heed to the good news, for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has put faith in what we told?"

But about Israel he says; All the day my hands have been stretched out to a people whose hearts were turned away, and who put themselves against my word.

So I say, Has God put his people on one side? Let there be no such thought. For I am of Israel, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

God has not put away the people of his selection. Or have you no knowledge of what is said about Elijah in the holy Writings? how he says words to God against Israel,

"Lord, they have put Thy Prophets to death, and have overthrown Thy altars; and, now that I alone remain, they are thirsting for my blood"?

As it is written, "To this day God has put them into deep sleep. Their eyes do not see, and their ears do not hear."

But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, an olive-tree of the fields, were put in among them, and were given a part with them in the root by which the olive-tree is made fertile,

You will say, Branches were broken off so that I might be put in.

See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.

And they, if they do not go on without faith, will be united to the tree again, because God is able to put them in again.

Put affection into your love for the brotherhood; be forward to honour one another;

But if one who has hate for you is in need of food or of drink, give it to him, for in so doing you will put coals of fire on his head.

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities, for [there] is no authority except by God, and those that exist are put in place by God.

For which reason everyone who puts himself against the authority puts himself against the order of God: and those who are against it will get punishment for themselves.

So put yourselves under the authority, not for fear of wrath, but because you have the knowledge of what is right.

And this, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not put to death, Do not take what is another's, Do not have desire for what is another's, and if there is any other order, it is covered by this word, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Do not put on one side him who is feeble in faith, and do not put him in doubt by your reasonings.

This man puts one day before another: to that man they are the same. Let every man be certain in his mind.

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

Do not undo God's work for the sake of what you eat. Though everything is 'clean,' yet, if a man eats so as to put a stumbling- block in the way of others, he does wrong.

It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is put in danger of falling, or is made weak.

Now those of us who are strong [spiritually] should put up with [or, help] the failings of [spiritually] weak people, and not [simply] do what pleases ourselves.

Now those things which were put down in writing before our time were for our learning, so that through quiet waiting and through the comfort of the holy Writings we might have hope.

And again Isaiah says, "The root of Jesse will come, even the one who rises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will put their hope."

But I have, in some measure, less fear in writing to you to put these things before you again, because of the grace which was given to me by God,

And I will keep myself from talking of anything but those things which Christ has done by me to put the Gentiles under his rule in word and in act,

So when I have completed this task and have put my seal on this contribution of theirs, I will visit you on my way to Spain.

So that I may be kept safe from those in Judaea who have not put themselves under the rule of God, and that the help which I am taking for Jerusalem may be pleasing to the saints;

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

Brothers, I beg of you to keep your eye on those who stir up dissensions and put hindrances in your way, contrary to the doctrine which you have been taught. Avoid them.
