which He proclaimed beforehand through His prophets in the holy scriptures,

through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the Gentiles, in behalf of his name:

In the first place, indeed, I praise my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

but this is the consolation among you through faith in one another, both of you and me.

because, knowing God, they did not glorify Him as God, neither were they thankful; but they became vain in their reasonings, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Therefore God gave them up, in the lusts of their hearts, to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves:

On account of this God gave them up to the lusts of dishonor: for indeed their women changed the natural use to that which is against nature:

likewise also the men, having left the natural use of the woman, burned in their desire towards one another; men with men working out disgrace, and receiving the reward of their error among themselves which it behooved.

And as they did not approve to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are inappropriate;

but to those who are of self-seeking, and disobedient to the truth, but obedient to unrighteousness, there are indignation and wrath.

For there is no respect of persons with God.

who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience witnessing, and their thoughts accusing or indeed excusing with one another,

in the day when God will judge the secrets of men through my gospel according to Jesus Christ.

do you, who boast in the law, through the transgression of the law dishonor God?

and that which is uncircumcision by nature, perfecting the law, will judge you, who through the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law.

For what if some did not believe? whether will their unbelief destroy the faith of God?

And if the truth of God through my falsehood abounded unto His glory, why am I still judged as a sinner?

as has been written, There is no one good, not one:

there is no one who understands, there is no one who seeks out God;

all have gone away, they have all together become unprofitable; there is no one who is doing good, there is not one.

Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips.

destruction and misery are in their ways:

The fear of God is not before their eyes.

Therefore no flesh shall be justified by works of law: for through law there is a perfect knowledge of sin.

but the righteousness of God through faith of Jesus Christ is unto all who believe: for there is no difference,

being freely justified by his grace, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus:

whom God sent forth an expiation through faith in his blood, unto the manifestation of His righteousness through the remission of the sins which are passed,

truly there is one God, who will justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith.

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

And he received the sign of circumcision, and the seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had in uncircumcision: that he should be the father of all who believed, through uncircumcision; and righteousness should be imputed to them;

For the promise to Abraham or his seed, that he should be the heir of the world, was not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

For the law works out wrath: for where there is no law, there is no transgression.

but he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was filled up with dynamite through faith, having given glory to God;

Therefore having been justified by faith, let us have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

through whom we also have access by faith unto this grace in which we stand, and let us rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

How much more then, having now been justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him.

For if being enemies we are reconciled to God through the death of his Son; how much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved through his life:

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

(for until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed, there being no law;

For if by the transgression of one death reigned through one; how much more shall those receiving the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Christ Jesus!)

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:

But the law came, that the transgression might abound; but where sin did abound, there did grace superabound:

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

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

For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord,

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.

For when we were in carnality, the emotions of sins, which were through the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

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.

But sin, taking occasion through the commandment, did work in me all concupiscence; for without law sin was dead.

For sin, taking occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it slew me.

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.

For I know that in me, that is, in my carnal mind, there dwells no good thing. For to will is present with me, but to do that which is beautiful is not:

Thanks be unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord: then therefore with the mind I serve the law of God; but with carnality the law of sin.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.

For there was an impotency of the law, in which it was weak through depravity, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of the sin of depravity and for sin, condemned sin in depravity:

But if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one having raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also create life in your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who dwells in you.

For if you live according to depravity, you are about to die: but if through the Spirit you kill the practices of the body, you shall live.

For the creature has been subordinated to mortality, not willingly, but through Him who subordinated it;

But in all these we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

that there is great sorrow to me and incessant grief to my heart.

For this is the word of the promise, About this time I will come, and there shall be a son to Sarah.

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

and it shall come to pass, in the place in which it was said to them, You are not my people, there they shall be called the sons of the living God:

Brethren, indeed the desire of my heart and my prayer to God in their behalf, is for their salvation.

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

For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: for the same is Lord of all, rich unto all that call on him.

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.

Thus then there is even at this time a remnant left according to the election of grace:

And David says, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them:

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.

But if the fall of them was the riches of the world, and the depletion of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

For if the casting away of them was the reconciling of the world, what will their reception be, but life from the dead?

For if you, having been cut off the olive tree which is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into the good olive tree: how much more shall these, who are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

And this is the covenant with me unto them, that I may take away their sins.

For as you at one time were disobedient to God, but now you have received mercy through their disobedience,

even also these were now disobedient, in order that through the mercy shown to you they themselves may now also obtain mercy.

Because of Him, and through him, and unto him, are all things: to him be glory forever: amen.

For I speak, through the grace which has been given unto me, for every one who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, as God has imparted to each one the measure of faith.

Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities. For there is no authority except that which is from God; and the existing authorities have been ordained of God.

Give to all their dues: custom to whom custom is due; tribute to whom tribute is due; fear to whom fear is due; honor to whom honor is due.

For, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not murder, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not covet, and if there is any other commandment, it is fulfilled in this word, in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself with divine love.

I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: except to him who considers it unclean, to him it is unclean.

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.

And again, Isaiah says, There shall be the root of Jesse, and he that ariseth to rule over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles hope.

for I will not dare to speak anything save those things which Christ has wrought through me, unto the obedience of the Gentiles, in word and deed,

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.

But I exhort you, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you cooperate with me in your prayers to God in my behalf;

in order that having come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you find rest.

who laid down their neck for my life; and for whom not I alone hut all the churches of the Gentiles give thanks;

and the church in their house. Salute Epaenetus my beloved, who is the first fruit of Asia unto Christ.

For such do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own stomach; and through fair speeches and eulogies deceive the hearts of the innocent.

but having now indeed been made manifest, through the prophetical scriptures, and having been made known to all the Gentiles, according to the commandment of the eternal God, unto the obedience of faith;

to God who alone is wise, through Jesus Christ, to the glory unto the ages of the ages. Amen.
