by whom we have received grace and apostleship, to obedience to the faith among all nations, for His name;

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole 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

For I long to see you, so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to you for the establishing of you.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

because the thing which may be known of God is clearly revealed within them, for God revealed it to them.

For the unseen things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being realized by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, for them to be without excuse.

and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things.

For they changed the truth of God into a lie, and they worshiped and served the created thing more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

For this cause, God gave them up to dishonorable affections. For even their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature.

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another; males with males working out shamefulness, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was fitting for their error.

Therefore you are without excuse, O man, everyone who judges; for in that in which you judge another, you condemn yourself, for you who judge do the same things.

But according to your hardness and your impenitent heart, do you treasure up wrath for yourself in a day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

indeed to those who with patience in good work are seeking for glory, and honor, and incorruptibility, everlasting life.

For there is no respect of faces with God.

For as many as sinned without Law will also perish without Law. And as many as have sinned within Law shall be judged through Law.

For it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.

For when the nations, who do not have the Law, do by nature the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law unto themselves;

For the name of God is blasphemed among the nations because of you, as it is written.

For circumcision truly profits if you keep the Law, but if you are a transgressor of the Law, circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

If then the uncircumcision keeps the ordinances of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

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

For what? If some did not believe, will not their unbelief nullify the faith of God?

Let it not be! For then how shall God judge the world?

For if in my lie the truth has more abounded to His glory why am I still judged as a sinner?

What then? Do we excel? No, in no way; for we have before charged both Jews and Greeks all with being under sin,

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

because by the works of the Law none of all flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law is the knowledge of sin.

even the righteousness of God through the faith of Jesus Christ, toward all and upon all those who believe. For there is no difference,

for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,

for the display of His righteousness at this time, for Him to be just and, forgiving the one being of the faith of Jesus.

For if Abraham was justified by works, he has a boast; but not before God.

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

But to him not working, but believing on Him justifying the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Is this blessedness then on the circumcision only, or on the uncircumcision also? For we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

And he received a sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith while still uncircumcised; so that he might be the father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for righteousness to be imputed to them also;

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

For if they of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is made of no effect;

because the Law works out wrath, for where no law is, there is no transgression.

Therefore it is of faith so that it might be according to grace; for the promise to be made sure to all the seed, not only to that which is of the Law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

For he who beyond hope believed on hope for him to become the father of many nations (according to that which was spoken, "So your seed shall be").

And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

Now it was not written for him alone that it was imputed to him,

but for us also to whom it is to be imputed, to the ones believing on Him who has raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

who was delivered because of our offenses and was raised for our justification.

For we yet being without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

For one will with difficulty die for a righteous one, yet perhaps one would even dare to die for a good one.

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

For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

but the free gift shall not be also like the offense. For if by the offense of the one many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift in grace; which is of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

And the free gift shall not be as by one having sinned; (for indeed the judgment was of one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offenses to justification.

For if by one man's offense death reigned by one, much more they who receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by One, Jesus Christ.)

Therefore as by one offense sentence came on all men to condemnation, even so by the righteousness of One the free gift came to all men to justification of life.

For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of One shall many be made righteous.

For if we have been joined together in the likeness of His death, we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection;

For he who died has been justified from sin.

For in that He died, He died to sin once; but in that He lives, He lives to God.

For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under Law, but under grace.

Do you not know that to whom you yield yourselves as slaves for obedience, you are slaves to him whom you obey; whether it is of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness.

Then being made free from sin, you became the slaves of righteousness.

I speak in the manner of men because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you have yielded your members as slaves to uncleanness, and to lawless act unto lawless act, even so now yield your members as slaves to righteousness unto holiness.

For when you were the slaves of sin, you were free from righteousness.

What fruit did you have then in those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

But now, being made free from sin, and having become slaves to God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end everlasting life.

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

Or are you ignorant, brothers; for I speak to those who know the Law; that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?

For the married woman was bound by law to the living husband. But if the husband is dead, she is set free from the law of her husband.

So then if, while her husband lives, 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 by becoming another man's wife.

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

But now we having been set free from the Law, having died to that in which we were held, so that we serve in newness of spirit and not in oldness of the letter.

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Let it not be said! But I did not know sin except through the law. For also I did not know lust except the law said, You shall not lust.

But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, worked in me all kinds of lust. For apart from law sin was dead.

For I was alive without the law once. But when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.

For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me.

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

For that which I do, I know not. For what I desire, that I do not do; but what I hate, that I do.

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwells no good thing. For to will is present with me, but how to perform that which is good I do not find.

For I do not do the good that I desire; but the evil which I do not will, that I do.

For I delight in the Law of God according to the inward man;

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

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh;

For they who are according to the flesh mind the things of flesh, but they who are according to the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace

because the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the Law of God, neither indeed can it be.

For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die. But if you through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live.

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

For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption by which we cry, Abba, Father!

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the coming glory to be revealed in us.

For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.

For the creation was not willingly subjected to vanity, but because of Him who subjected it on hope

For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen is not hope; for what anyone sees, why does he also hope for it?

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

Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

And He searching the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

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

For whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son, for Him to be the First-born among many brothers.

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