First: Verily I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is published throughout all the world.

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit, in the Gospel of his son that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,

For I long to see you, that I might bestow among you some spiritual gift, to strengthen you withal.

For I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to them which are no Greeks, unto the learned and also unto the unlearned.

For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, because it is the power of God unto salvation to all that believe; namely to the Jew, and also to the gentile.

For by it, the righteousness which cometh of God is opened, from faith to faith. As it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

For the wrath of God appeareth from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men which withhold the truth in unrighteousness.

Seeing what may be known of God, that same is manifest among them: For God did show it unto them.

and turned the glory of the immortal God, unto the similitude of the image: of mortal man, and of birds, and four footed beasts and of serpents.

For this cause, God gave them up unto shameful lusts. For even their women did change the natural use unto the unnatural.

Therefore art thou inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou be that judgest. For in the same wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself. For thou that judgest doest even the same self things.

For there is no partiality with God:

For before God they are not righteous which hear the law: but the doers of the law shall be justified.

For if the gentiles, which have no law, do of nature the things contained in the law: then they having no law, are a law unto themselves,

For the name of God is evil spoken-of among the gentiles, through you, as it is written.

Therefore if the uncircumcised keep the right things contained in the law: shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

For he is not a Jew, which is a Jew outward. Neither is that thing circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

God forbid. For how then shall God judge the world?

What say we then? Are we better than they? No, in no wise. For we have already proved how that both Jews and gentiles are all under sin,

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

because that by the deeds of the law, shall no flesh be justified in the sight of God. For by the law cometh the knowledge of sin.

There is no difference: For all have sinned, and lack the praise that is of valour before God:

- whom God hath set forth for a mercy seat through faith in his blood, to show the righteousness which before him is of valour, in that he forgiveth the sins that are passed,

For it is God only which justifieth circumcision, which is of faith: and uncircumcision through faith.

For what saith the scripture? "Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness."

To him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, is his faith counted for righteousness.

Came this blessedness then upon the circumcised or upon the uncircumcised? We say verily how that faith was reckoned to Abraham, for righteousness.

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

For if they which are of the law be heirs, then is faith but vain, and the promise of none effect.

Because the law causeth wrath. For where no law is, there is no transgression.

And therefore was it reckoned to him for righteousness.

It is not written for him only, that it was reckoned to him for righteousness:

but also for us, to whom it shall be counted for righteousness so we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from death.

Which was delivered for our sins, and rose again for to justify us.

Neither do we so, only: but also we rejoice in tribulation: For we know that tribulation bringeth patience,

and hope maketh not ashamed: for the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, by the holy ghost, which is given unto us.

For when we were yet weak according to the time: Christ died for us which were ungodly.

Yet scarce will any man die for a righteous man. Peradventure for a good man durst a man die.

But God setteth out his love that he hath to us; Seeing that while we were yet sinners; Christ died for us.

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his son: much more, seeing we are reconciled, we shall be preserved by his life.

For even unto the time of the law was sin in the world: but sin was not regarded, as long as there was no law:

But the gift is not like as the sin. For if, through the sin of one, many be dead: much more plenteous, upon many, was the grace of God and gift by grace: which grace was given by one man, Jesus Christ.

And the gift is not over one sin, as death came through one sin of one that sinned. For damnation came of one sin unto condemnation: But the gift came to justify from many sins.

For if by the sin of one, death reigned by the means of one, much more shall they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life by the means of one; that is to say, Jesus Christ.

For as by one man's disobedience many became sinners: so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

We are buried with him by baptism for to die: That likewise as Christ was raised up from death by the glory of the father: even so we also should walk in a new life.

For if we be graft in death like unto him: even so must we be in the resurrection.

For he that is dead, is justified from sin.

For as touching that he died, he died as concerning sin once. And as touching that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

Let not sin have power over you. For ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Ye are then made free from sin, and are become the servants of righteousness.

For when ye were servants of sin, ye were not under righteousness.

What fruit had ye then in those things, whereof ye are now ashamed. For the end of those things is death.

For the reward of sin is death: but eternal life is the gift of God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

For the woman which is in subjection to a man, is bound by the law to the man, as long as he liveth. If the man be dead, she is loosed from the law of the man.

So then, if while the man liveth she couple herself with another man, she shall be counted a wedlock-breaker. But if the man be dead she is free from the law: so that she is no wedlock-breaker, though she couple herself with another man.

For when we were in the flesh, the lusts of sin which were stirred up by the law, reigned in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death.

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid: but I knew not what sin meant but by the law. For I had not known what lust had meant, except the law had said, "Thou shalt not lust."

But sin took an occasion by the means of the commandment, and wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For verily, without the law sin was dead.

For sin took occasion by the means of the commandment and so deceived me, and by the selfsame commandment, slew me.

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

because I know not what I do. For what I would, that do I not: but what I hate, that do I.

For I know that in me, that is to say, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing. To will is present with me: but I find no means to perform that which is good.

For I do not that good thing which I would: but that evil do I, which I would not.

For the law of the spirit, that bringeth life through Jesus Christ, hath delivered me from the law of sin, and death:

For what the law could not do, inasmuch as it was weak because of the flesh - that performed God, and sent his son in the similitude of sinful flesh, and by sin damned sin in the flesh;

For they that are carnal, are carnally minded; But they that are spiritual are spiritually minded.

because that the fleshly mind is enmity against God: For it is not obedient to the law of God, neither can be.

If Christ be in you: the body is dead, because of sin; But the spirit is life for righteousness' sake.

For if ye live after the flesh, ye must die. But if ye mortify the deeds of the body, by the help of the spirit, ye shall live,

for as many as are led by the spirit of God: they are the sons of God.

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage to fear anymore, but ye have received the spirit of adoption whereby we cry, "Abba father."

For I suppose that the afflictions of this life are not worthy of the glory which shall be showed upon us.

because the creatures are subdued to vanity against their will: but for his will which subdueth them in hope.

For the very creatures shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption, into the glorious liberty of the sons of God.

For we know that every creature groaneth with us also, and travaileth in pain even unto this time.

Not they only, but even we also: which have the first fruits of the spirit mourn in ourselves and wait for the adoption and look for the deliverance of our bodies.

For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen is no hope. For how can a man hope for that which he seeth?

But and if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience abide for it.

Likewise, the spirit also helpeth our infirmities. For we know not, what to desire as we ought: but the spirit maketh intercession mightily for us with groanings which cannot be expressed with tongue.

And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the meaning of the spirit: for he maketh intercession for the saints according to the pleasure of God.

For we know well that all things work for the best unto them that love God, which also are called of purpose.

For those which he knew before, he also ordained before, that they should be like fashioned unto the shape of his son, that he might be the first begotten son among many brethren.

Which spared not his own son, but gave him for us all: How shall he not with him give us all things also?

who then shall condemn? It is Christ which is dead; Yea rather which is risen again, which is also on the righthand of God and maketh intercession for us.

As it is written, "For thy sake are we killed all day long, and are counted as sheep appointed to be slain."

For I have wished myself to be cursed from Christ, for my brethren and my kinsmen as pertaining to the flesh:

I speak not these things as though the words of God had taken none effect. For they are not all Israelites which came of Israel;

For this is a word of promise, "About this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son."

For he saith to Moses, "I will show mercy to whom I show mercy: And will have compassion on whom I have compassion."

For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, "Even for this same purpose have I stirred thee up, to show my power on thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the world."

Thou wilt say then unto me, "Why then blameth he us yet? For who can resist his will?"

He finisheth the work verily and maketh it short in righteousness. For a short word will God make on earth."

And wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith: but as it were, by the works of the law. For they have stumbled at the stumbling stone.

Brethren: my heart's desire, and prayer to God for Israel, is that they might be saved.

For I bear them record, that they have a fervent mind to Godward, but not according to knowledge.

For they are ignorant of the righteousness which is allowed before God, and go about to establish their own righteousness: and therefore, are not obedient unto the righteousness which is of value before God.

For Christ is the end of the law to justify all that believe.

For if thou shalt knowledge with thy mouth that Jesus is the Lord, and shalt believe with thine heart that God raised him up from death, thou shalt be safe.

For the belief of the heart justifieth: and to knowledge with the mouth maketh a man safe.
