for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

What advantage then hath the Jew? or what is the profit of circumcision?

God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?

What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin;

Where then is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith.

Do we then make the law of none effect through faith? God forbid: nay, we establish the law.

What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, hath found according to the flesh?

Is this blessing then pronounced upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say, To Abraham his faith was reckoned for righteousness.

How then was it reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision:

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from the wrath of God through him.

So then as through one trespass the judgment came unto all men to condemnation; even so through one act of righteousness the free gift came unto all men to justification of life.

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

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

What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

So then if, while the husband liveth, she be joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if the husband die, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she be joined to another man.

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Howbeit, I had not known sin, except through the law: for I had not known coveting, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet:

Did then that which is good become death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; --that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.

I find then the law, that, to me who would do good, evil is present.

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I of myself with the mind, indeed, serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh:

and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him , that we may be also glorified with him .

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

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.

So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy.

So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and whom he will be hardeneth.

Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still find fault? For who withstandeth his will?

What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

I say then, Did God cast off his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

What then? that which Israel seeketh for, that he obtained not; but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened:

I say then, Did they stumble that they might fall? God forbid: but by their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.

But I speak to you that are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;

Thou wilt say then, Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.

Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God's goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith.

But if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.

And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we first believed.

So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God.

Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may edify one another.
