Brothers, I would like you to understand that I have often purposed to come to you (though up till now I have been prevented) so as to have some results among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles.

So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

for from the world's creation the invisible things of him are perceived, being apprehended by the mind through the things that are made, both his eternal power and divinity, so as to render them inexcusable.

Wherefore God gave them up in the covetings of their hearts unto impurity, so as to be dishonouring their bodies among them, -

And so, as they did not approve of fully recognizing God any longer, God gave them up to minds that He did not approve, to practices that were improper;

Now we [Jews] know that God's judgment against people who practice such things [i.e., the Gentiles] is according to truth. [Note: Some use "You say," at the beginning of the sentence, making it an assertion of the Jews which Paul sets about to answer].

You who say a man shouldn't commit adultery. Do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

Or can we say as some people slander us by claiming that we say "Let's do evil that good may result"? They deserve to be condemned!

To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he may be just, and the justifier of him who believeth in Jesus.

What then shall we say - as touching Abraham our forefather?

So as we have been made upright by faith, let us live in peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

So as one offense meant condemnation for all men, just so one righteous act means acquittal and life for all men.

Accordingly, sin must not continue to reign over your mortal bodies, so as to make you continue to obey their evil desires,

so then, the husband being alive, she shall be called an adulteress if she be to another man; but if the husband should die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, though she be to another man.

For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were excited by the law, were active in our members, so as to bring forth fruit to death:

But now we have been released from the law, having died to what we were held, so as for us to serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of a document.

So I see a law that, though I have a mind to do good, evil is present in me.

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

For ye did not receive the spirit of bondage so as to be again in fear; but ye received the spirit of adopted children, whereby we cry, Abba, Father!

Yet there was always the hope that at last the Creation itself would also be set free from the thraldom of decay so as to enjoy the liberty that will attend the glory of the children of God.

And more than that, we ourselves, though we possess the Spirit as a foretaste and pledge of the glorious future, yet we ourselves inwardly sigh, as we wait and long for open recognition as sons through the deliverance of our bodies.

So as to make known his surpassing glory in dealing with the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared beforehand for glory,

Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:

Now Christ is an end to law, so as to let every believer have righteousness.

For with the heart man believeth so as to obtain righteousness, and with the mouth professeth so as to obtain salvation.

And how are men to preach unless they have been sent to do so? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of good!"

Even so at this time is there a remnant left through the election of grace.

let their eyes be darkned, so as not to see, and let their back be continually bowed down."

So I say, have they stumbled so as to fall [to spiritual ruin]? Certainly not! But by their transgression [their rejection of the Messiah] salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel jealous [when they realize what they have forfeited].

For God has made all men prisoners of disobedience so as to have mercy upon them all.

"Who has first given God anything, so as to receive payment in return?"

Stop living in accordance with the customs of this world, but by the new ideals that mold your minds continue to transform yourselves, so as to find and follow God's will; that is, what is good, well-pleasing to Him, and perfect.

For I say, through the grace which has been given to me, to every one that is among you, not to have high thoughts above what he should think; but to think so as to be wise, as God has dealt to each a measure of faith.

Do not for the sake of food undo the work of God. All things indeed are clean; but that which is pure is evil for that man who eateth so as to be an occasion of sin.

But I have written to you more boldly on [some] points, so as to remind you [again] because of the grace that has been given to me by God,

So as a follower of Christ Jesus I have reason to be proud of my work for God.

And in this way I desire to preach where Christ has not been named, so as not to build on another person's foundation,

It is my desire to say a good word for Phoebe, who is a servant of the church in Cenchreae:

And say a kind word to the church which is in their house. Give my love to my dear Epaenetus, who is the first fruit of Asia to Christ.

Give my love to Apelles, who has the approval of Christ. Say a kind word to those who are of the house of Aristobulus.

Give my love to Herodion, my relation. Say a kind word to those of the house of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.
