as it has been written, That I have constituted thee the father of many nations, before God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls things which are not as really existing:

For the law of the Spirit of life has made thee free from the law of sin and of death.

But what says it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach.

for Christ did not please himself; but, as has been written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.

and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as has been written, Therefore I will confess thee among the Gentiles, and in thy name sing praises.
