Through whom we have received favour and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name,

For God is, my witness, - unto whom I am rendering divine service in my spirit, in the glad message of his Son, - how incessantly, I am making mention of you

For I am longing to see you, that I may impart some spiritual gift unto you, to the end ye may be established, -

For I am not ashamed of the joyful message; for it is God's power unto salvation, to every one that believeth, both to Jew firstand to Greek;

For, a righteousness of God, is therein revealed, - by faith unto faith: even as it is written - But, he that is righteous, by faith, shall live.

For there is being revealed an anger of God from heaven - against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who, the truth, in unrighteousness, do hold down; -

Inasmuch as, what may be known of God, is manifest among them, for, God, unto them, hath made it manifest, -

For, the unseen things of him, from a world's creation, by the things made, being perceived, are clearly seen, even his eternal power and divinity, - to the end they should be without excuse;

And, exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God, for the likeness of an image of a corruptible man, and of birds and fourfooted beasts and reptiles:

Who, indeed, exchanged away the truth of God for the falsehood, and rendered worship and service unto the creature rather than unto the Creator, - who is blessed unto the ages. Amen!

For this cause, God gave them up unto dishonourable passions; for, even their females, exchanged away the natural use into that which is against nature, -

In like manner also, even the males, leaving the natural use of the female, flamed out in their eager desire one for another, males with males, the indecency, effecting, - and, the necessary recompence of their error, within themselves, duly receiving; -

Wherefore, inexcusable, thou art, O man, whoever judgest; for, wherein thou judgest some one else, thyself, thou dost condemn, - for, the very things, thou dost practise, who art judging:

But, according to thy hardness, and thine impenitent heart, art treasuring up for thyself anger, in a day of anger and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, -

For there is no respect of persons with God; -

For, as many as without law sinned, without law, also shall perish, and, as many as within law sinned, through law, shall be judged;

For, not the hearers of law, are righteous with God, but, the doers of law, shall be declared righteous;

For, whensoever the nations which have not law, by nature, the things of the law, may be doing, the same, not having law, unto themselves, are a law, -

For the name of God, because of you, is defamed among the nations, - even as it is written.

For, circumcision, indeed, profiteth - if, law, thou be practising; but, if thou be a transgressor of law, thy circumcision, hath become, uncircumcision

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

For what? If some distrusted, shall their distrust make, the trust of God, void?

Far be it! But let, God, prove to be, true, albeit, every man, be false! Even as it is written - That thou mightest be declared righteous in thy words, and overcome when thou art in judgment.

Far be it! Else how shall God judge the world?

What then? do we screen ourselves? Not at all! For we have before accused both Jews and Greeks of being, all under sin;

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

A righteousness of God, through faith in JesusChrist, unto all that have faith; for there is no distinction, -

For, all, have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;

Whom God hath set forth as a propitiatory covering, through faith in his blood, for a showing forth of his righteousness, by reason of the passing-by of the previously committed sins,

For we reckon that a man is to be declared righteous by faith, apart from works of law.

Do we then make, law, void through means of our faith? Far be it! On the contrary, law, we do establish!

For, if Abraham by works was declared righteous, he hath whereof to boast; - nevertheless, not towards God, -

For what doth the Scripture say? And Abraham believed in God, and it was reckoned unto him as righteousness.

This happiness, then, is it for the circumcision, or for the uncircumcision? for we say - His faith was reckoned unto Abraham as righteousness:

For, not through means of law, doth the promise belong unto Abraham or unto his seed, - that he should be heir of thee world; but, through a righteousness by faith.

For, if they who are of law are heirs, made void is faith and of no effect is the promise.

For, the law, worketh out anger, but, where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

For this cause, it is by faith, in order that it may be by way of favour, so that the promise is firm unto all the seed, - not unto that by the law only, but unto that also which is such by the faith of Abraham; who is father of us all, -

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

But for our sakes also - unto whom it is to be reckoned, - even unto them that believe upon him who raised Jesus our Lord from among the dead:

For, scarcely in behalf of a righteous man, will one die, - in behalf of the good man indeed, peradventure one even dareth to die;

For, if being enemies we were reconciled unto God through the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

For this cause, - just as, through one man, sin into the world entered, and through sin, death, - and, so, unto all men death passed through, for that all had sinned; -

For, until law, sin was in the world, although sin is not reckoned when there is no law, -

But, not as the fault, so, alsothe decree of favour, for, if, by the fault of the one, the many died, much more, the favour of God and the free-gift in favour, by the one man Jesus Christ, unto the many superabounded;

And, not as through one that sinned, is that which is freely given, for, the sentence of judgment, indeed, was - out of one fault into condemnation, whereas, the decree of favour, is - out of many faults, into a recovery of righteousness.

For, if, by the fault of the one, death reigned through the one, much more, they who the superabundance of the favour and of the free-gift ofthe righteousness do receive, in life, shall reign through the one, Jesus Christ.

Hence then, as through one fault, the sentence was unto all men unto condemnation, so, also, through one recovery of righteousness, the decree of favour is unto all men for righteous acquittal unto life;

For, just as, through the disobedience of the one man, sinners, the many were constituted, so, also, through the obedience of the one, righteous, the many shall be constituted -

Far be it! we who have died unto sin, how, any longer, shall we live therein?

For, if we have come to be grown together in the likeness of his death, certainly, in that of his resurrection also, shall we be.

For, he that hath died, hath become righteously acquitted from his sin.

For, in that he died, unto sin, died he once for all, but, in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

For, sin, over you, shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under favour.

What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law but under favour? Far be it!

Know ye not that, unto whom ye are presenting yourselves as servants for obedience, servants ye are unto him unto whom ye are obedient, whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness?

In human fashion am I speaking, because of the weakness of your flesh; - for, just as ye presented your members as servants unto impurity and unto lawlessness for lawlessness, so now, present ye your members as servants unto righteousness for sanctification.

For, when ye were servants of sin, ye were free as to righteousness; -

What fruit, therefore, had ye then - in things for which ye now are taking shame to yourselves? For, the end of those things, is death.

Whereas, now, having been freed from sin, and made servants unto God, ye have your fruit for sanctification and, the end, life age-abiding.

For, the wages of sin, is death; but, God's gift of favour, is life age-abiding, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Or are ye ignorant, brethren, - for unto them that understand the law am I speaking, that, the law, hath lordship over a men as long as he liveth?

For, the married woman, unto her living husband is bound by law; but, if her husband have died, she hath received a full release from the law of her husband.

Hence then, her husband being alive, an adulteress, shall she be called - if she become another man's, but, if the husband have died, she is free from the law; so that she is not an adulteress, though she become another man's.

For, when we were in the flesh, the susceptibilities of sins which were through the law, used to be energized in our members unto the bringing forth of fruit unto death;

What, then, shall we say? Is the law sin? Far be it! On the contrary, I had not discovered, sin, save through law, for even, of coveting, I had not been aware if, the law, had not kept on saying - Thou shall not covet;

Howbeit sin taking, occasion - through the commandment, wrought out in me all manner of coveting; for, apart from law, sin is dead; -

For, sin, - taking occasion - through the commandment, completely deceived me and, through it, slew me:

Did, then, that which is good, unto me become death? Far be it! But it was sin, that it might appear sin, through that which was good unto me working out death, in order that, exceeding sinful, might sin become through the commandment.

For we know that, the law, is spiritual, - I, however, am a creature of flesh, sold under sin;

For, that which I am working out, I do not approve, - for not, what I wish, the same I practise, but, what I hate, the same I do:

I know, in fact, that there dwelleth not in me, that is, in my flesh, anything good; for, the wishing, lieth near me, but, the working out of what is right, not!

For not, the good that I wish, I do, but, the evil that I do not wish, the same I practise.

For, the-law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus, hath set thee free from the law of sin and of death; -

For, what was impossible by the law in that it was weak through the flesh, God, by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,

For, they who according to flesh have their being, the things of the flesh do prefer, but, they according to the spirit, the things of the spirit;

For, what is preferred by the flesh, is death, whereas, what is preferred by the spirit, is life and peace; -

Inasmuch as, what is preferred by the flesh, is hostile towards God, for, unto the law of God, it doth not submit itself, neither in fact can it. -

For, if according to flesh ye live, ye are about to die, whereas, if in spirit, the practices of the flesh, ye are putting to death, ye shall attain unto life;

For, as many as by God's Spirit are being led, the same, are God's sons, -

For ye have not received a spirit of servitude, leading back into fear, but ye have received a spirit of sonship, whereby we are exclaiming - Abba! Oh Father!

For I reckon that unworthy are the sufferings of the present season to be compared with the glory about to be revealed towards us;

For, the eager outlook of creation, ardently awaiteth the revealing of the sons of God, -

For, unto vanity, hath creation been made subject - not by choice, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope

For we know that, all creation, is sighing together, and travailing-in-birth-throes together until the present, -

For, by our hope, have we been saved, - but, hope beheld, is not hope, for, what one beholdeth, why doth he hope for?

If, however, what we do not behold we hope for, with endurance, are we ardently awaiting it ; -

In the selfsame way moreover, even the Spirit, helpeth together in our weakness, - for, what we should pray for as we ought, we know not, but, the Spirit itself, maketh intercession with sighings unutterable,

We know, further, that, unto them who love God, God causeth all things to work together for good, - unto them who, according to purpose, are such as he hath called;

For, whom he fore-approved, he also fore-appointed to be conformed unto the image of his Son, that he might be firstborn among many brethren, -

And, whom he fore-appointed, the same, he also called, and, whom he called, the same, he also declared righteous, and, whom he declared righteous, the same, he also made glorious: -

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

According as it is written - For thy sake, are we being put to death all the day long, we have been reckoned as sheep for slaughter. -

For I am persuaded that - neither death nor life, nor messengers nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,

For I could have wished to be accursed, even I myself, from the Christ, in behalf of my brethren my kinsmen according to the flesh; -

It is not, however, as though the word of God had failed; for, not all they who are of Israel, the same are Israel.

For, of promise, is this word - According to this season, will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.

What, then, shall we say? Is there injustice with God? Far be it!

For, unto Moses, he saith - I will have mercy upon whomsoever I can have mercy, and I will have compassion upon whomsoever I can have compassion.

For the Scripture saith unto Pharaoh - Unto this end, have I raised thee up, that I may thus shew in thee my power, and that I may declare my name in all the earth.
