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.

For God is my witness, Whom I serve in my spirit in the Gospel of His Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that ye may be established;

For I am not ashamed of the Gospel; for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek

for in it is revealed God's righteousness, from faith to faith; as it has been written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."

For God's wrath is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness;

because that which is known of God is manifested in them; for God manifested it to them.

For His invisible things, since the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being perceived by the things that are made, even His everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse:

and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and quadrupeds, and reptiles.

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.

Wherefore, you are without excuse, O man, every one who judges; for wherein you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.

but, after your hardness and impenitent heart, you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

to those who, by patience in well-doing, are seeking for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life;

for there is no respect of persons with God;

for as many as sinned without law shall also perish without law; and as many as sinned under law shall be judged by law;

for not the hearers of law are righteous before God, but the doers shall be justified;

(for, when gentiles who have no law do by nature the things of the law, these, having no law, are a law to themselves;

For the name of God is blasphemed among the gentiles, because of you, as it has been written.

For circumcision, indeed, profits, if you do the law; but, if you are transgressors of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

If, therefore, the uncircumcision keep the ordinances of the law, shall not his uncircumcision he reckoned for circumcision?

For he is not a Jew, who is one outwardly; nor is that circumcision, which is outward in flesh;

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

It could not be! for, then, how shall God judge the world?

What, then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we before charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin;

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;

for all sinned, and are coming short of the glory of God;

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:

for the manifestation of His righteousness in the present time, to the end that He may be righteous, even when declaring righteous him who has faith in Jesus.

For we reckon that a man is justified by faith, apart from works of law.

For, if Abraham was justified by works, he has ground of boasting, but not toward God.

For what does the Scripture say? "And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness."

but to him that works not, but believes on Him Who justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

Does this happiness, therefore, come upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? For we say, "Faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness."

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, if those who are of the law are heirs, faith has been made void, and the promise has been brought to nought;

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

For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace; to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

Wherefore also it was reckoned to him for righteousness.

Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned to him;

but for ours also, to whom it will be reckoned, if we believe on Him Who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead;

Who was delivered up for our trespasses, and raised for our justification.

For, while we were yet weak, Christ, in due season, died for the ungodly.

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; for, peradventure, in behalf of a good man, some one even dares to die.

But God commendeth His own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

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;

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:

But not as the trespass, so also is the free gift; for, if by the trespass of the one, the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the One Man, Christ Jesus, abound to the many.

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.

For, if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection;

for he that died has been justified from sin.

For the death that He died, He died to Sin once for all; but the life that He liveth He liveth to God.

For sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under law, but under grace.

Know ye not that to whom ye present yourselves as slaves for obedience, his slaves ye are whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death, or obedience unto righteousness?

and, having been made free from sin, ye were made slaves of righteousness.

I speak after human fashion because of the weakness of your flesh; for, as ye presented your members subservient to uncleanness, and to iniquity unto iniquity; so now present your members subservient to righteousness unto holiness.

For, when ye were slaves of sin, ye were free as to righteousness.

What fruit, therefore, had ye then in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

But now, having been made free from sin, and having been made slaves to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end eternal life;

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

Or, are ye ignorant, brethren, (for I am speaking to those who know law), that the law has dominion over the man as long as he lives?

For the married woman has been bound by law to the living husband; but, if the husband dies, she is loosed from the law of the husband.

So, then, if, while the husband is living, she is married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress; but, if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she be joined to another man.

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.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.

For what I accomplish, I know not; for not what I wish, this do I practice; but what I hate, this I do.

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.

For the good that I wish, I do not; but the evil which I wish not, this I practice.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and death.

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;

For those who are according to the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither, indeed, can it be;

for, if ye live according to the flesh, ye are going to die; but, if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

For ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received a spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, "Abba, Father."

For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are of no account in comparison with the glory about to be revealed for us.

For the earnest longing of the creation is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God.

For the creation was made subject to vanity, not of choice, but by reason of Him Who subjected it, in hope

For we know that the whole creation is groaning and travailing in pain together until now;

and, not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruit of the Spirit, even we ourselves are groaning within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

For by hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for that which he sees?

But, if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience.

And, in like manner, the Spirit also helpeth our weakness; for we know not what to pray for as we ought; but the Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

And He Who searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

And we know that all things are working together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose;

What, then, shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

He Who spared not His Own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

who is he that condemns? It is Christ Who died, yea, rather, That was raised from the dead, Who is at the right hand of God, Who also is making intercession for us.

As it has been written, "For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."
