I want you to know, brothers, that many a time I have planned to come to you??hough until now I have been hindered??o as to have some harvest-fruit among you also, even as I have among the rest of the Gentiles.

I say, at this present time; that he himself might be just, and yet the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.

For while we were still without strength, Christ died in due time for the ungodly.

What harvest-fruit then had you at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

In the same way also at this time there is a remnant chosen by gift of grace.

Carry out these injunctions because you know the crisis that we are in, that now it is high time for you to awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we first believed.
