concerning His Son, (who is come of the seed of David according to the flesh,

who is marked out Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the rising again from the dead,) Jesus Christ our Lord;

for God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the good news of His Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you,

for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead -- to their being inexcusable;

for as many as without law did sin, without law also shall perish, and as many as did sin in law, through law shall be judged,

What, then? are we better? not at all! for we did before charge both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin,

wherefore by works of law shall no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin.

for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God --

happy the man to whom the Lord may not reckon sin.'

and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them,

for if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in his life.

because of this, even as through one man the sin did enter into the world, and through the sin the death; and thus to all men the death did pass through, for that all did sin;

for till law sin was in the world: and sin is not reckoned when there is not law;

and not as through one who did sin is the free gift, for the judgment indeed is of one to condemnation, but the gift is of many offences to a declaration of 'Righteous,'

And law came in, that the offence might abound, and where the sin did abound, the grace did overabound,

that even as the sin did reign in the death, so also the grace may reign, through righteousness, to life age-during, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

What, then, shall we say? shall we continue in the sin that the grace may abound?

let it not be! we who died to the sin -- how shall we still live in it?

this knowing, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of the sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving the sin;

for he who hath died hath been set free from the sin.

for in that he died, to the sin he died once, and in that he liveth, he liveth to God;

so also ye, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to the sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Let not then the sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires;

neither present ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God;

for sin over you shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under grace.

What then? shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? let it not be!

have ye not known that to whom ye present yourselves servants for obedience, servants ye are to him to whom ye obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

and thanks to God, that ye were servants of the sin, and -- were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which ye were delivered up;

and having been freed from the sin, ye became servants to the righteousness.

for when ye were servants of the sin, ye were free from the righteousness,

And now, having been freed from the sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit -- to sanctification, and the end life age-during;

for the wages of the sin is death, and the gift of God is life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.

What, then, shall we say? the law is sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:

Thou shalt not covet;' and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness -- for apart from law sin is dead.

And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having come, the sin revived, and I died;

for the sin, having received an opportunity, through the command, did deceive me, and through it did slay me;

That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command,

for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;

and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me,

And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me.

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

I thank God -- through Jesus Christ our Lord; so then, I myself indeed with the mind do serve the law of God, and with the flesh, the law of sin.

for the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus did set me free from the law of the sin and of the death;

for what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the sin in the flesh,

and if Christ is in you, the body, indeed, is dead because of sin, and the Spirit is life because of righteousness,

because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren;

He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us?

for the word of promise is this; 'According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.'

according as it hath been written, 'Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.'

and so all Israel shall be saved, according as it hath been written, 'There shall come forth out of Sion he who is delivering, and he shall turn away impiety from Jacob,

and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, hath been condemned, because it is not of faith; and all that is not of faith is sin.
