For I long to see you, in order that I may impart unto you a certain spiritual grace, that you may be established;

so to my utmost ability, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.

for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are seen, being known by the things which are made, even His eternal power and divinity; so that they are without excuse:

For so many as sinned without law will also perish without law; and so many as sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;

do you, who say not to commit adultery, commit adultery? do you, who abominate idolatry, rob temples?

it could not be so: but let God be true, and every man a liar; as indeed it has been written, In order that you may be justified in your words, and shall prevail, in your judgment.

But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust administering wrath? I speak according to a man.

It could not be so: then how will God judge the world?

are we not indeed thus traduced, and as some say we speak, that, Let us do evil in order that good may come? whose condemnation is just.

But we know that so many things as the law speaks, it says to those under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may become guilty before God.

in the forbearance of God; unto the manifestation of his righteousness at the present time, so that he is just, and justifying him who is of the faith of Jesus.

Then do we make void the law through faith? It could not be so: but we establish the law.

Then what shall we say that Abraham, our father according to the flesh, has found?

For what does the scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness.

Then does this blessedness come on the circumcision, or on the uncircumcision? for we say That faith was imputed to Abraham for righteousness.

who against hope confided in hope, that he should be the father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be:

and being not weak in faith, he considered not his body already dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb:

And not only so, but let us also rejoice in tribulation; knowing that tribulation works out endurance;

but not only so, but even rejoicing in God through Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we now received reconciliation.

but death reigned from Adam unto Moses, even on those who did not sin after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the type of him who is to come.

But not as was the transgression, even so is the free gift: for if by the transgression of one many died, how much more by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, did the grace of God and the gift abound unto many!

Therefore then, as by the transgression of one, judgment came to all men to condemnation; so also through the righteousness of one, the free gift came on all men unto the justification of life:

for as by the disobedience of one man many were made sinners, so also by the obedience of one man shall many be made righteous.

in order that as sin reigned through death, so may grace reign also through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Then what shall we say? must we abide in sin, in order that grace may abound?

It could not be so. How shall we, who are dead unto sin, live any longer in it?

Whether do you not know, that so many of us as were baptized unto Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?

Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death: in order that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so must we also walk in newness of life.

So you also thus reckon yourselves dead unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ.

What then? can we commit sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? it could not be so.

I speak after the manner of a man on account of the weakness of your carnality. For as ye presented your members as servants unto impurity and lawlessness pursuant to lawlessness, so now present your members servants unto righteousness pursuant to sanctification.

Whether are you ignorant, O brethren, for I speak to those knowing the law, for the law hath dominion over a man for so long time as he may live?

For a woman who is under her husband has been given to her husband by the law so long as he lives; but if the husband may die, she is free from the law of the husband.

So, my brethren, ye are dead to the law through the body of Christ, that ye should be married to another, to him who is risen from the dead, in order that we may bring forth fruit unto God.

But now we have been made free from the law, being dead in that in which we were held; so that we serve in the newness of the spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Then what shall we say? is the law sin? It could not be so; but I did not know sin except through the law: for indeed I had not known lusts, unless the law said, Thou shalt not covet.

So the law is indeed holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.

Then did that which is good become death to me? it could not be so: but sin, that it may appear sin, through the good was working out death to me, in order that sin may be exceedingly sinful through the commandment.

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

Therefore the mind of depravity is enmity toward God: for it is not subordinated to the law of God, for it is not able so to be.

But if Christ is in you, the body is dead so far as sin is concerned; but the Spirit is life so far as righteousness is concerned.

For so many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.

and not only so, but we ourselves, having the earnest of the Spirit, and we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of sons, the redemption of our body.

But if we hope for that which we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

Then what shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Who will lay anything to the charge of God's elect?

Not only so; but Rebecca also having cohabitation of one, our father Isaac;

Then what shall we say? Is there unrighteousness with God? It could not be so.

Then thou wilt say to me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted his will?

O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Whether shall the thing formed say to him that formed it. Why did you make me thus?

but Isaiah cries out in behalf of Israel, Though the number of sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.

Then what shall we say? That the Gentiles, not pursuing righteousness, received righteousness, and the righteousness which is from faith:

for being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

But the righteousness of faith speaks thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend up into heaven? that is, to bring Christ down:

But I say, Have they not all heard? Yea, truly, Their sound has gone out into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

But I say, Whether does not Israel know? Moses first says, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, and with a nation void of understanding I will anger you.

Then I say, Did God cast away his people? it could not be so. For I am indeed an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

as has been written, God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this day.

and let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always.

Then I say; Whether did they stumble that they may fall? it could not be so: but by their fall, salvation came to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy.

Then you will say, The branches were broken off, that I may be grafted in.

and so all Israel shall be saved: as has been written, A leader shall come out of Zion, shall turn ungodliness from Jacob.

so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and members one of another.

If possible, so far as it is within your power, living in peace with all men;

So the one resisting the authority, antagonizes the ordinance of God: and those antagonizing shall receive to themselves judgment.

Who art thou judging another man's servant? to his own master he stands or falls: but he shall stand; for God is able to make him stand.

for if indeed we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Then indeed if we live, and if we die, we are the Lord's.

For so many things as were previously written were written for our instruction, in order that through the patience and through the consolation of the scriptures we may have hope.

For I say that Christ has been made minister of circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises of the fathers,

in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem, and around about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ;

but being so ambitious not to preach the gospel, where Christ has been named, in order that I may not build on another man's foundation;

but, as has been written, Those, to whom he has not been preached, shall see concerning him, and they who have not heard shall understand.

as I may journey into Spain, for I hope traveling through to see you, and by you to be sent forth thither, if in the first place I may be satisfied with your company??25 but now I journey to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints.

For they were pleased to do so; and they are their debtors: for if the Gentiles participated in spiritual things, they owe it to them also to minister unto them in carnal things.
