because what is knowable of God is apparent in them, for God made it known to them.

Because of this God gave them up to shameful passions, for even their females changed the natural use into what is against nature.

Therefore, O man, thou are without excuse, every man who judges, for in what thou judge the other man, thou condemn thyself, for the man who judges is doing the same things.

For he is not a Jew in what is visible, nor is circumcision in what is visible, in flesh,

but he is a Jew in what is hidden, and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit not a document, whose praise is not from men but from God.

What then is the advantage of the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision?

For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the assurance of God ineffective?

But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous inflicting wrath? (I speak according to a man.)

What then? Are we better? Not at all. For we already charged both Jews and Greeks to all be under sin,

Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what law, of works? No, but by a law of faith.

What then will we say Abraham, our father according to flesh, to have found?

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

and being fully assured that what he promised, he was able also to perform.

What will we say then? We continue in sin so that grace may abound?

What then? May we sin, because we are not under law but under grace? May it not happen!

Know ye not, that to what ye present yourselves as bondmen for obedience, ye are bondmen to what ye obey, whether of sin for death, or of obedience for righteousness?

What fruit therefore did ye have then, of which things ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

But now we have been released from the law, having died to what we were held, so as for us to serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of a document.

What will we say then? The law is sin? May it not happen! Yet I did not know sin except through law. For likewise I would not have known lust, if the law did not say, Thou shall not covet.

Has therefore what is good become death to me? May it not happen! Instead, it is sin, so that it might be revealed, sin working death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment sin might become sinful to extreme.

For I do not understand what I do, for I do not do this that I want, but what I hate, this I do.

For we were saved to hope. But hope that is seen is not hope. For what is seen, why also hope for that?

But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait through patience.

And likewise also the Spirit helps our weaknesses, for we know not what we would pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.

And he who searches the hearts knows what is the mentality of the Spirit, because he appeals to God for the sanctified.

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

What will we say then? Is there injustice from God? May it not happen!

What will we say then? That the Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, even the righteousness from faith.

But what does it say? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that is, the word of faith that we preach:

God did not thrust away his people whom he foreknew. Or know ye not what the scripture tells by Elijah? How he encounters God about Israel.

But what does the divine response say to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed a knee to Baal.

What then? What Israel seeks, this it did not obtain. But the chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened,

For if the casting away of them is reconciliation of the world, what is the acceptance except life from the dead?

For if thou were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural ones, be grafted into their own olive tree.

And be not conformed to this age, but be ye transformed by the renewal of your mind, for ye to approve what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to over think beyond what he ought to think, but to think so as to think soundly, as God has apportioned to each man a measure of faith.

Love without hypocrisy, abhorring what is evil, clinging to what is good,

For rulers are not a source of fear to the good works, but to the evil. And do thou desire not to fear the office of authority? Do what is good, and thou will have praise from it.

For he is a helper of God to thee for what is good. But if thou do what is evil, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is a helper of God, vengeful for wrath to the man who commits evil.

The faith thou have, have in relation to thyself before God. Blessed is the man not condemning himself in what he allows.

Let each of us please his neighbor for what is good toward edification.
