There will be affliction and distress on everyone who does evil, on the Jew first and also the Greek,

For there is no partiality with God.

Actually, there are many advantages. First of all, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God.

just as it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one,

there is no one who understands, there is no one who seeks God.

All have turned away, together they have become worthless; there is no one who shows kindness, not even one."

"There is no fear of God before their eyes."

namely, the righteousness of God through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction,

For the law brings wrath, because where there is no law there is no transgression either.

for before the law was given, sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin when there is no law.

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

What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? Absolutely not!

"And in the very place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' there they will be called 'sons of the living God.'"

For Christ is the end of the law, with the result that there is righteousness for everyone who believes.

For there is no distinction between the Jew and the Greek, for the same Lord is Lord of all, who richly blesses all who call on him.

So in the same way at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except by God's appointment, and the authorities that exist have been instituted by God.

For the commandments, "Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not covet," (and if there is any other commandment) are summed up in this, "Love your neighbor as yourself."

I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean in itself; still, it is unclean to the one who considers it unclean.

But now there is nothing more to keep me in these regions, and I have for many years desired to come to you

when I go to Spain. For I hope to visit you when I pass through and that you will help me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while.
