in the forbearance of God, for the demonstration of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just and the one who justifies the [person] by faith in Jesus.

For [while] we were still helpless, yet at the proper time Christ died for the ungodly.

Or do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law is master of a person for as long a time [as] he lives?

For I consider that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy [to be compared] with the glory that is about to be revealed to us.

For the statement of the promise [is] this: "At this time I will return and {Sarah will have} a son."

So in this way also at the present time, there is a remnant {selected by grace}.

And [do] this [because you] know the time, that [it is] already the hour for you to wake up from sleep. For our salvation [is] nearer now than when we believed.

And in a short time the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you.
