And if our injustice shall recommend the justice of God, what shall we say God not unjust bringing in anger? (I speak as man)

And not, (as we are defamed, and some have declared us to say,) That we should do evil things, that good things might come: whose judgment is just.

And we know that whatever says the law, it speaks to them in the law: that every mouth be shut, and all the world be culpable to God.

What then shall we say Abraham our father to have found, according to the flesh?

For what says the writing? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for justice.

This happiness then upon circumcision, or upon uncircumcision? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for justice.

What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin, that grace might abound

What then shall we say? The law sin? It may not be. But I knew not sin except by the law: for I knew not lust, if the law said not, Thou shalt not eagerly desire.

What then shall we say to these? if God with us, who against us?

What then shall we say Is injustice with God? It may not be.

For the writing says to Pharaoh, That for this same have I raised thee up, so that I might show in thee my power, and so that my name might be announced in all the earth.

Thou wilt then say to me, Why does he yet blame For who has withstood his will?

Surely, O man, who art thou replying against God? Shall the formation say to him having formed, Why hest thou made me so

As also he says in Hosea, I will call not my people my people; and the not loved, loved.

What then shall we say? That the nations, not following justice, overtook justice, and the justice of faith.

And the justice of faith says thus, Thou shouldest not say in thy heart, Who shall go up to heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down:)

But what does it say? The word is near thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we proclaim;

For the writing says, Every one believing upon him shall not be ashamed.

But not all listened to the good news. For Esaias says, Lord, who believed our report?

But I say, Have they not heard? Surely, in all the earth went out their sound, and their words to the end of the habitable globe.

But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses says, I will make you jealous of not a nation, and by a shortsighted nation will I anger you.

And Esaias is very confident, and says, I was found of them not seeking me; I was manifested to them not asking for me.

And to Israel he says, The whole day have I unfolded my hands to an unbelieving and contradicting people.

I say then, Has God rejected his people It may not be. For I also am an Israelite, of Abraham's seed, of the tribe of Benjamin.

God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Or know ye not in Elias, what says the writing? how he addresses God against Israel, saying,

But what say to him the intimations of divine will I have left to myself seven thousand men, who bent not the knee to Baal.

And David says, Let their table be for a snare, and for booty, and for a stumblingblock, and for a retribution to them:

I say then, Did they stumble that they might fall? It may not be: but by their fall salvation to the nations, to make them jealous.

Thou wilt say then, That the young shoots were broken off, that I might be grafted in.

For I say, by the race given me, to every one being with you, not to entertain a high opinion of one's self above what is fitting to think: but to think to be discreet, as God has divided the measure of faith to each.

Avenging not yourselves, beloved, but give ye place to anger: for it has been written, Vengeance to me; I will repay, says the Lord.

For it has been written, I live, says the Lord, for to me shall every knee bend, and every tongue acknowledge to God.

And I say Jesus Christ has become the servant of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises of the fathers:

And again he says, Rejoice, ye nations, with his people.

And again Esaias says, The root shall be of Jesse, and he having risen to rule over the nations; upon him shall the nations hope.
