which He promised before through His prophets in the holy Scriptures,

through Whom we received grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations for His name's sake;

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is proclaimed in the whole world.

that is, to be comforted together among you through our mutual faith, both yours and mine.

because, having known God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor did they give thanks; but they became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened.

Wherefore, God gave them up in the desires of their hearts unto the uncleanness of dishonoring their bodies among themselves;

For this cause, God gave them up to vile passions; for both their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature;

and, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, burned in their desires one for another; men with men working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error, which was due.

And, as they did not approve the holding of God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not becoming;

but to those who are contentious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there shall be wrath and indignation,

for there is no respect of persons with God;

who, indeed, show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with it, and between one another their thoughts accusing or even excusing them;)

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

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

For what, if some did disbelieve? Shall their disbelief make void the faithfulness of God?

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

as it has been written, "There is none righteous, no not one;

there is none that understands; there is none that seeks after God;

they have all turned aside, they together became unprofitable; there is none that does good, there is not so much as one;

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

their feet are swift to shed blood;

destruction and misery are in their ways;

there is no fear of God before their eyes."

because, by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the law is the knowledge of sin.

even a righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all who believe; for there is no distinction;

being justified freely by His grace, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus;

Whom God set forth as a propitiation, through faith in His blood, for the manifestation of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the formerly-committed sins in the forbearance of God:

if, indeed, God is One Who will justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith.

Do we, then, make void the law through faith? It could not be! Yea, we establish the law.

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

for the law works wrath; but where there is no law, there is no transgression.

but, in view of the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but was made strong in faith, giving glory to God,

Having been justified, therefore, by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

through Whom also we have had access by faith into this grace in which we have been standing; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

and hope makes not ashamed; because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the holy Spirit, Who was given to us.

Much more, therefore, being now justified by His blood, shall we be saved from the wrath of God through Him.

For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son; much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by His life;

and not only so, but we are rejoicing in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom we now received the reconciliation.

Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned;

for until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not reckoned, when there is no law:

And not as through one that sinned, so is the gift; for, indeed, the judgment came of one trespass unto condemnation; but the free gift came of many trespasses unto justification.

For, if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; much more shall those who receive the abundance of the grace, and of the gift of righteousness, reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

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

For as, through the disobedience of the one man, the many were constituted sinners; so also through the obedience of the One, shall the many be constituted righteous.

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

We were buried, therefore, with Him through the immersion into death; that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

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

Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that ye might be joined to another??o Him Who was raised from the dead??hat we might bear fruit to God.

For, when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins, which were through the law, were working in our members to bring forth fruit to death.

What, then, shall we say? Is the law sin? It could not be! But I had not known sin, except through law; for I would not know even coveting, if the law did not say, "You shall not covet;"

but sin, taking occasion through the commandment, wrought in me all manner of coveting; for apart from law sin is dead.

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

Did, then, that which is good become death to me? It could not be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that sin, through the commandment, might become exceedingly sinful.

For I know that there dwells not in me, that is, in my flesh, any good; for to wish is present with me: but to do that which is good a not.

Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! Accordingly, therefore, I myself with the mind, indeed, serve the law of God; but, with the flesh, the law of sin.

Consequently, there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.

For, what was impossible under law, wherein it was weak through the flesh. God, sending His Own Son in likeness of sinful flesh, and, respecting sin, condemned sin in the flesh;

And, if the Spirit of Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, He Who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will make alive your mortal bodies through His Spirit dwelling in you.

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him Who loved us.

What, then, shall we say? Is there unrighteousness with God? It could not be!

And it shall be that in the place where it was said, 'Ye are not My people,' there shall they be called sons of the living God."

Brethren, the desire, indeed, of my heart, and my supplication to God in their behalf, is that they may be saved.

for, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God;

For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the Same One is Lord of all, being rich toward all who call upon Him;

Consequently, faith comes of hearing; and hearing, through the word of Christ.

But I say, did they not hear? Yes, verily, "Their sound went out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the inhabited earth."

And David says, "Let their table be a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a recompense to them:

let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always."

I Say, then, did they stumble, that they might fall? It could not be! But by their trespass salvation has come to the gentiles to provoke them to rivalry.

Now, if their trespass is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the gentiles, how much more their fulness?

Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, but you have been standing by faith. Do not cherish lofty thoughts; but fear.

For, if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted, contrary to nature, into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

and so all Israel shall be saved; even as it has been written, "There will come out of Zion the Deliverer; He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;

and this is the covenant from Me to them, when I shall take away their sins."

For as ye in times past disobeyed God, but just now obtained mercy by their disobedience;

Because, of Him, and through Him, and for Him, are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.

I beseech you, therefore, brethren, through the mercies of God, to present, your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, well pleasing to God, which is your rational service;

For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one among you, not to think of himself more highly than he night to think, but so to think as to think soberly, according as God divided to each one a measure of faith.

Let every soul be in subjection to the authorities that are over him; for there is no authority, except from God; and the authorities that are have been appointed by God.

Wherefore, there is necessity that ye submit yourselves, not only because of the wrath, but also because of conscience.

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

For this, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not kill," "You shall not steal," "You shall not covet;" and, if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

For whatsoever things were written in former times were written for our instruction, that we through patience and through consolation of the Scriptures may have hope.

And again Isaiah says, "There shall be the Root of Jesse, and He Who riseth up to rule over the gentiles, on Him will the gentiles hope."

For I will venture to speak only of the things which God wrought through me for the obedience of the gentiles, by word and deed,

whensoever I go to Spain (for I am hoping, in passing through, to see you, and to be sent on my way thither by you, if first I have been satisfied, in a measure, with your company);

Indeed, they were well pleased, and their debtors they are; for, if the gentiles were partakers of their spiritual things, they ought also to minister to them in carnal things.

that, coming to you in joy through the will of God, I may with you be refreshed.

who, for my soul, laid down their own necks; to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the gentiles;

For those who are such are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and, through their kind words and flattering speeches, they beguile the hearts of the simple.

but now made manifest, and through the prophetic Scriptures, according to the commandment of the eternal God, made known to all nations for obedience to the faith:

to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen.
