affliction and distress, upon every soul of man that practices what is evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek:

but glory and honor and peace to every one that practices what is good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:

and know his will, and approve what is excellent, being instructed by the law:

What advantage then has the Jew, or what profit has circumcision?

What, indeed, if some have been unfaithful? Will their unfaithfulness overthrow the faithfulness of God?

But if our unrighteousness causes God's plan of justifying men to be better known, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous, who inflicts punishment? I speak as a man.

What then? Do we, Jews, excel? Not at all: for we have already convicted all, both Jews and Greeks, of being under sin,

Now we know that what the law says, it speaks- to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world become guilty before God.

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

What, then, shall we say that Abraham our father has found, as it respects the flesh?

For what says the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.

Under what circumstances, then, was it counted? After he was circumcised? Or, while he was uncircumcised? Not after he was circumcised, but while he was uncircumcised.

and being fully persuaded that what he had promised he was able also to perform.

What, then, shall we say? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?

What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? It can not be.

I speak of what is common among men, oil account of the weakness of your flesh: for as you have presented your members as servants to uncleanness, and to lawlessness, in order to lawlessness, so now present your members as servants to righteousness, in order to holiness.

What fruit, therefore, had you at that time, in those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

What, then, shall we say? Is the law sin? It can not be. Indeed, I had not known sin, except through law. For I had not known evil desire, unless the law had said: You shall not have any evil desire.

For what I do, I know not: for that which I wish to do, this I do not; but that which I hate, this I do.

For what the law could not do, because it was weak through the flesh, God has done, who, sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for a sin-offering, condemned sin in the flesh,

For we are saved by this hope; but hope that is seen is not hope; for, what any one sees, why does he also hope for it?

In like manner, also, the Spirit helps our infirmities; for we know not what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us, with groanings unutterable.

And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, that he intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

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

What, then, shall we say? Is there unrighteousness with. God? It can not be.

What, then, if God, intending to show his wrath, and to make his power known, yet, in much long-suffering bore with the vessels of wrath fitted for destruction:

What, then, shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not seek after justification, have obtained justification, even the justification which is by faith:

But what says it? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart; that is, the word of faith which we preach;

God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Know you not what the scripture says, in regard to Elijah? how he intercedes with God against Israel, saying:

But what says the answer of God to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.

What then? Israel has not obtained that which he seeks; but the chosen have obtained it, and the rest have been hardened to this day,

For, if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the reception of them be, but life from the dead?

And be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may learn what the will of God is the good, and the acceptable, and the perfect.

in what requires diligence, be not slothful; in spirit, be fervent; in service, be devoted to the Lord;

For he is the minister of God to you for that which is good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain. For he is the minister of God to inflict punishment on him that does evil.
