And that I am ever making prayers that God will give me a good journey to you.

For in it there is the revelation of the righteousness of God from faith to faith: as it is said in the holy Writings, The man who does righteousness will be living by his faith.

But you who are judging another for doing what you do yourself, are you hoping that God's decision will not take effect against you?

Who will give to every man his right reward:

To those who go on with good works in the hope of glory and honour and salvation from death, he will give eternal life:

But to those who, from a love of competition, are not guided by what is true, will come the heat of his wrath,

All those who have done wrong without the law will get destruction without the law: and those who have done wrong under the law will have their punishment by the law;

For it is not the hearers of the law who will be judged as having righteousness before God, but only the doers:

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.

If those who have not circumcision keep the rules of the law, will it not be credited to them as circumcision?

And they, by their keeping of the law without circumcision, will be judges of you, by whom the law is broken though you have the letter of the law and circumcision.

And if some have no faith, will that make the faith of God without effect?

Let us not do evil so that good may come (a statement which we are falsely said by some to have made), because such behaviour will have its right punishment.

If God is one; and he will give righteousness because of faith to those who have circumcision, and through faith to those who have not circumcision.

For the outcome of the law is wrath; but where there is no law it will not be broken.

Who without reason for hope, in faith went on hoping, so that he became the father of a number of nations, as it had been said, So will your seed be.

But for us in addition, to whose account it will be put, if we have faith in him who made Jesus our Lord come back again from the dead,

Much more, if we now have righteousness by his blood, will salvation from the wrath of God come to us through him.

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;

For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.

Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man.

For, if we have been made like him in his death, we will, in the same way, be like him in his coming to life again;

But if we are dead with Christ, we have faith that we will be living with him;

Having knowledge that because Christ has come back from the dead, he will never again go down to the dead; death has no more power over him.

So if, while the husband is living, she is joined to another man, she will get the name of one who is untrue to her husband: but if the husband is dead, she is free from the law, so that she is not untrue, even if she takes another man.

How unhappy am I! who will make me free from the body of this death?

For this cause those who are in Christ Jesus will not be judged as sinners.

But if the Spirit of him who made Jesus come again from the dead is in you, he who made Christ Jesus come again from the dead will in the same way, through his Spirit which is in you, give life to your bodies which now are under the power of death.

For if you go in the way of the flesh, death will come on you; but if by the Spirit you put to death the works of the body, you will have life.

And if we are children, we have a right to a part in the heritage; a part in the things of God, together with Christ; so that if we have a part in his pain, we will in the same way have a part in his glory.

I am of the opinion that there is no comparison between the pain of this present time and the glory which we will see in the future.

That all living things will be made free from the power of death and will have a part with the free children of God in glory.

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.

But if we have hope for that which we see not, then we will be able to go on waiting for it.

He who did not keep back his only Son, but gave him up for us all, will he not with him freely give us all things?

Who will say anything against the saints of God? It is God who makes us clear from evil;

Who will give a decision against us? It is Christ Jesus who not only was put to death, but came again from the dead, who is now at the right hand of God, taking our part.

Who will come between us and the love of Christ? Will trouble, or pain, or cruel acts, or the need of food or of clothing, or danger, or the sword?

Or things on high, or things under the earth, or anything which is made, will be able to come between us and the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And they are not all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, In Isaac will your seed be named.

For this is the word of God's undertaking, At this time will I come, and Sarah will have a son.

It was said to her, The older will be the servant of the younger.

For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and pity on whom I will have pity.

But you will say to me, Why does he still make us responsible? who is able to go against his purpose?

As he says in Hosea, They will be named my people who were not my people, and she will be loved who was not loved.

And in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, there they will be named the sons of the living God.

And Isaiah says about Israel, Even if the number of the children of Israel is as the sand of the sea, only a small part will get salvation:

For the Lord will give effect to his word on the earth, putting an end to it and cutting it short.

As it is said, See, I am putting in Zion a stone causing a fall, and a rock in the way: but he who has faith in him will not be put to shame.

For Moses says that the man who does the righteousness which is of the law will get life by it.

But the righteousness which is of faith says these words, Say not in your heart, Who will go up to heaven? (that is, to make Christ come down:)

Or, Who will go down into the deep? (that is, to make Christ come again from the dead:)

Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation:

Because it is said in the holy Writings, Whoever has faith in him will not be shamed.

Because, Whoever will give worship to the name of the Lord will get salvation.

But how will they give worship to him in whom they have no faith? and how will they have faith in him of whom they have not had news? and how will they have news without a preacher?

And how will there be preachers if they are not sent? As it is said, How beautiful are the feet of those who give the glad news of good things.

But I say, Had Israel no knowledge? First Moses says, You will be moved to envy by that which is not a nation, and by a foolish people I will make you angry.

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?

For, if by their putting away, the rest of men have been made friends with God, what will their coming back again be, but life from the dead?

You will say, Branches were broken off so that I might be put in.

For, if God did not have mercy on the natural branches, he will not have mercy on you.

See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.

And they, if they do not go on without faith, will be united to the tree again, because God is able to put them in again.

For if you were cut out of a field olive-tree, and against the natural use were united to a good olive-tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be united again with the olive-tree which was theirs?

And so all Israel will get salvation: as it is said in the holy Writings, There will come out of Zion the One who makes free; by him wrongdoing will be taken away from Jacob:

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

Or who has first given to him, and it will be given back to him again?

For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him.

Do not give punishment for wrongs done to you, dear brothers, but give way to the wrath of God; for it is said in the holy Writings, Punishment is mine, I will give reward, says the Lord.

But if one who has hate for you is in need of food or of drink, give it to him, for in so doing you will put coals of fire on his head.

For which reason everyone who puts himself against the authority puts himself against the order of God: and those who are against it will get punishment for themselves.

For rulers are not a cause of fear to the good work but to the evil. If you would have no fear of the authority, do good and you will have praise;

Who are you to make yourself a judge of another man's servant? it is to his master that he is responsible for good or bad. Yes, his place will be safe, because the Lord is able to keep him from falling.

But you, why do you make yourself your brother's judge? or again, why have you no respect for your brother? because we will all have to take our place before God as our judge.

For it is said in the holy Writings, By my life, says the Lord, to me every knee will be bent, and every tongue will give worship to God.

So every one of us will have to give an account of himself to God.

And so that the Gentiles might give glory to God for his mercy; as it is said, For this reason I will give praise to you among the Gentiles, and I will make a song to your name.

And again Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who comes to be the ruler over the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles put their hope.

And I will keep myself from talking of anything but those things which Christ has done by me to put the Gentiles under his rule in word and in act,

But as it is said in the holy Writings, They will see, to whom the news of him had not been given, and those to whose ears it had not come will have knowledge.

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.

Now I make request to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you will be working together with me in your prayers to God for me;

That you will take her in kindly, after the way of the saints, as one who is the Lord's, and give her help in anything in which she may have need of you: because she has been a help to a great number and to myself.

Now, it is my desire, brothers, that you will take note of those who are causing division and trouble among you, quite against the teaching which was given to you: and keep away from them.

And the God of peace will be crushing Satan under your feet before long. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
