that make mention of his son, the which was begotten unto him of the seed of David, as pertaining to the flesh:

and declared to be the son of God with power of the holy ghost, that sanctifieth, since the time that Jesus Christ our Lord rose again from death:

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit, in the Gospel of his son that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,

So that his invisible things, that is to say, his eternal power and godhead, are understood and seen by the works from the creation of the world. So that they are without excuse,

What say we then? Are we better than they? No, in no wise. For we have already proved how that both Jews and gentiles are all under sin,

because that by the deeds of the law, shall no flesh be justified in the sight of God. For by the law cometh the knowledge of sin.

Blessed is that man to whom the Lord imputeth not sin."

And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness which is by faith: which faith he had, yet being uncircumcised, that he should be the father of all them that believe: though they be not circumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also;

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his son: much more, seeing we are reconciled, we shall be preserved by his life.

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by the means of sin; And so death went over all men, insomuch that all men sinned.

For even unto the time of the law was sin in the world: but sin was not regarded, as long as there was no law:

But the gift is not like as the sin. For if, through the sin of one, many be dead: much more plenteous, upon many, was the grace of God and gift by grace: which grace was given by one man, Jesus Christ.

And the gift is not over one sin, as death came through one sin of one that sinned. For damnation came of one sin unto condemnation: But the gift came to justify from many sins.

For if by the sin of one, death reigned by the means of one, much more shall they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life by the means of one; that is to say, Jesus Christ.

Likewise, then, as by the sin of one, condemnation came on all men: even so, by the justifying of one cometh the righteousness that bringeth life, upon all men.

But the law, in the meantime, entered in that sin should increase. Neverthelater, where abundance of sin was, there was more plenteousness of grace.

That as sin had reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life, by the help of Jesus Christ.

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that there may be abundance of grace?

God forbid. How shall we that are dead, as touching sin, live any longer therein?

This we must remember, that our old man is crucified with him also, that the body of sin might utterly be destroyed; that henceforth we should not be servants of sin.

For he that is dead, is justified from sin.

For as touching that he died, he died as concerning sin once. And as touching that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

Likewise, imagine ye also, that ye are dead concerning sin: but are alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Let not sin reign therefore in your mortal bodies, that ye should thereunto obey in the lusts of it.

Neither give ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: But give yourselves unto God, as they that are alive from death. And give your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

Let not sin have power over you. For ye are not under the law, but under grace.

What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law: but under grace? God forbid.

Remember ye not how that to whomsoever ye commit yourselves as servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey: whether it be of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

God be thanked, that though ye were once the servants of sin, ye have yet obeyed with your heart unto the form of doctrine where unto ye were delivered.

Ye are then made free from sin, and are become the servants of righteousness.

For when ye were servants of sin, ye were not under righteousness.

But now are ye delivered from sin, and made the servants of God, and have your fruit that ye should be sanctified; and the end: everlasting life.

For the reward of sin is death: but eternal life is the gift of God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

For when we were in the flesh, the lusts of sin which were stirred up by the law, reigned in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death.

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid: but I knew not what sin meant but by the law. For I had not known what lust had meant, except the law had said, "Thou shalt not lust."

But sin took an occasion by the means of the commandment, and wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For verily, without the law sin was dead.

I once lived without law: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I was dead.

For sin took occasion by the means of the commandment and so deceived me, and by the selfsame commandment, slew me.

Was that, then, which is good made death unto me? God forbid. Nay, sin was death unto me, that it might appear: how that sin by the means of that which is good, had wrought death in me: that sin which is under the commandment, might be out of measure sinful.

For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin:

So then, now it is not I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

Finally, if I do that I would not, then is it not I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me doeth it.

But I see another law in my members rebelling against the law of my mind, and subduing me unto the law of sin, which is in my members.

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord: So then I myself in my mind serve the law of God, and in my flesh the law of sin.

For the law of the spirit, that bringeth life through Jesus Christ, hath delivered me from the law of sin, and death:

For what the law could not do, inasmuch as it was weak because of the flesh - that performed God, and sent his son in the similitude of sinful flesh, and by sin damned sin in the flesh;

If Christ be in you: the body is dead, because of sin; But the spirit is life for righteousness' sake.

For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen is no hope. For how can a man hope for that which he seeth?

For those which he knew before, he also ordained before, that they should be like fashioned unto the shape of his son, that he might be the first begotten son among many brethren.

Which spared not his own son, but gave him for us all: How shall he not with him give us all things also?

For this is a word of promise, "About this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son."

As it is written, "Behold I put in Zion a stumbling stone, and a rock which shall make men fall. And none that believe on him, shall be ashamed."

And so all Israel shall be saved. As it is written, "There shall come out of Zion he that doth deliver, and shall turn away the ungodliness of Jacob.

For he that maketh conscience, is damned if he eat: Because he doth it not of faith. For whatsoever is not of faith, that same is sin.
