For when the Gentiles without the law have a natural desire to do the things in the law, they are a law to themselves;

In the day when God will be a judge of the secrets of men, as it says in the good news of which I am a preacher, through Jesus Christ.

In no way: but let God be true, though every man is seen to be untrue; as it is said in the Writings, That your words may be seen to be true, and you may be seen to be right when you are judged.

Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment;

How, then, was it judged? when he had circumcision, or when he had it not? Not when he had it, but when he did not have it:

For when we were still without strength, at the right time Christ gave his life for evil-doers.

But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us.

For if, when we were haters of God, the death of his Son made us at peace with him, much more, now that we are his friends, will we have salvation through his life;

Because, till the law came, sin was in existence, but sin is not put to the account of anyone when there is no law to be broken.

When you were servants of sin you were free from righteousness.

For when we were in the flesh, the evil passions which came into being through the law were working in our bodies to give the fruit of death.

And there was a time when I was living without the law: but when the law gave its orders, sin came to life and put me to death;

And not only so, but we who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we have sorrow in our minds, waiting for the time when we will take our place as sons, that is, the salvation of our bodies.

Now, if their fall is the wealth of the world, and their loss the wealth of the Gentiles, how much greater will be the glory when they are made full?

And this is my agreement with them, when I will take away their sins.

See then that the time has come for you to be awake from sleep: for now is your salvation nearer than when you first had faith.

So when I have done this, and have given them this fruit of love, I will go on by you into Spain.

And I am certain that when I come, I will be full of the blessing of Christ.
