About his Son who, in the flesh, came from the family of David,

But was marked out as Son of God in power by the Holy Spirit through the coming to life again of the dead; Jesus Christ our Lord,

For God is my witness, whose servant I am in spirit in the good news of his Son, that you are at all times in my memory and in my prayers,

Because the knowledge of God may be seen in them, God having made it clear to them.

Because the work of the law is seen in their hearts, their sense of right and wrong giving witness to it, while their minds are at one time judging them and at another giving them approval;

The true Jew is not one who is only so publicly, and circumcision is not that which may be seen in the flesh:

In no way: but let God be true, though every man is seen to be untrue; as it is said in the Writings, That your words may be seen to be true, and you may be seen to be right when you are judged.

But if, because I am untrue, God being seen to be true gets more glory, why am I to be judged as a sinner?

What then? are we worse off than they? In no way: because we have before made it clear that Jews as well as Greeks are all under the power of sin;

Because by the works of the law no man is able to have righteousness in his eyes, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment;

Happy is the man against whom no sin is recorded by the Lord.

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;

For if, when we were haters of God, the death of his Son made us at peace with him, much more, now that we are his friends, will we have salvation through his life;

For this reason, as through one man sin came into the world, and death because of sin, and so death came to all men, because all have done evil:

Because, till the law came, sin was in existence, but sin is not put to the account of anyone when there is no law to be broken.

And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number.

And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace:

That, as sin had power in death, so grace might have power through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

What may we say, then? are we to go on in sin so that there may be more grace?

In no way. How may we, who are dead to sin, be living in it any longer?

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.

Because he who is dead is free from sin.

For his death was a death to sin, but his life now is a life which he is living to God.

Even so see yourselves as dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.

For this cause do not let sin be ruling in your body which is under the power of death, so that you give way to its desires;

And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.

For sin may not have rule over you: because you are not under law, but under grace.

What then? are we to go on in sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be so.

Are you not conscious that you are the servants of him to whom you give yourselves to do his desire? if to sin, the end being death, or if to do the desire of God, the end being righteousness.

But praise be to God that though you were the servants of sin, you have now given yourselves freely to that form of teaching under which you were placed;

And being made free from sin you have been made the servants of righteousness.

When you were servants of sin you were free from righteousness.

But now, being free from sin, and having been made servants to God, you have your fruit in that which is holy, and the end is eternal life.

For the reward of sin is death; but what God freely gives is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

What then is to be said? is the law sin? in no way. But I would not have had knowledge of sin but for the law: for I would not have been conscious of desire if the law had not said, You may not have a desire for what is another's.

But sin, taking its chance through that which was ordered by the law, was working in me every form of desire: because without the law sin is dead.

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 I was tricked and put to death by sin, which took its chance through the law.

Was then that which is good, death to me? In no way. But the purpose was that sin might be seen to be sin by working death to me through that which is good; so that through the orders of the law sin might seem much more evil.

For we are conscious that the law is of the spirit; but I am of the flesh, given into the power of sin.

So it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

But if I do what I have no mind to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

But I see another law in my body, working against the law of my mind, and making me the servant of the law of sin which is in my flesh.

I give praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So with my mind I am a servant to the law of God, but with my flesh to the law of sin.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

For what the law was not able to do because it was feeble through the flesh, God, sending his Son in the image of the evil flesh, and as an offering for sin, gave his decision against sin in the flesh:

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

For our salvation is by hope: but hope which is seen is not hope: for who is hoping for what he sees?

Because those of whom he had knowledge before they came into existence, were marked out by him to be made like his Son, so that he might be the first among a band of brothers:

He who did not keep back his only Son, but gave him up for us all, will he not with him freely give us all things?

For this is the word of God's undertaking, At this time will I come, and Sarah will have a son.

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:

As it is said, See, I am putting in Zion a stone causing a fall, and a rock in the way: but he who has faith in him will not be put to shame.

And Isaiah says without fear, Those who were not searching for me made discovery of me; and I was seen by those whose hearts were turned away from me.

And so all Israel will get salvation: as it is said in the holy Writings, There will come out of Zion the One who makes free; by him wrongdoing will be taken away from Jacob:

But he who is in doubt is judged if he takes food, because he does it not in faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.
