declared to be the Son of God in power as to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the dead,??esus Christ our Lord,??5 through whom we have received grace and an apostleship for the obedience of the faith in all nations in behalf of his name,

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

First, indeed, I give thanks unto my God, through Jesus Christ, concerning you all, because your faith is being announced throughout the whole world.

For I long to see you so that I can provide you with some spiritual gift [See I Cor. 12:1-11], for the purpose of strengthening you [in the faith].

That is to say - there may be a mutual encouragement among you, each by the other's faith, both yours and mine.

For I have no feeling of shame about the good news, because it is the power of God giving salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first, and then to the 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.

They were without sense, without faith, without natural affection, without mercy.

For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

For no person will be justified [freed of guilt and declared righteous] in His sight by [trying to do] the works of the Law. For through the Law we become conscious of sin [and the recognition of sin directs us toward repentance, but provides no remedy for sin].

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

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,

In the forbearance of God, - with a view to a showing forth of his righteousness in the present season, that he might be righteous even when declaring righteous him that hath faith in Jesus.

Where, then, the boasting! It is excluded. Through what kind of law? Of works? Nay! but through a law of faith:

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

Is God the God of the Jews only, and not also of the Gentiles? Surely of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one God who will justify the circumcision by faith,

If, at all events, God is one, who will declare righteous - the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through their faith.

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

For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham put his faith in God, and it was credited to him as right standing with God."

Whereas, unto him that worketh not but believeth on him that declareth righteous the ungodly, his faith is reckoned 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:

And, a sign, he received namely of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while yet uncircumcised; to the end he might be father of all that believe during uncircumcision, to the end the same righteousness might be reckoned unto them, -

And father of circumcision - unto them who are not of circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of the faith, while yet uncircumcised, of our father Abraham.

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 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, -

as the Scripture says, "I have made you the father of many nations." That is, the promise is in force in the sight of God in whom he put his faith, the God who can bring the dead to life and can call to Himself the things that do not exist as though they did.

Abraham, building on hope in spite of hopeless circumstances, had faith, and so he actually became the father of many nations, just as it had been told him, "So numberless shall your descendants be."

And, without becoming weak in his faith, he attentively considered his own body, already deadened - he being a hundred years old, the deadening also of Sarah's womb;

In respect, however, of the promise of God, he was not led to hesitate by unbelief, but received power by his faith, giving glory unto God,

On the contrary, his faith gave him strength; and he praised God, in the firm conviction that what God has promised he is also able to carry out.

Therefore, his faith was credited to him as right standing with God.

it was for our sakes too, for it is going to be credited to us who put our faith in God who raised from the dead our Lord Jesus,

Having, therefore, been declared righteous by faith, let us have, peace, towards God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, -

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

and endurance proof [of faith], and proof [of faith giveth] hope;

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

Thank God, though you did serve sin, you have rendered whole-hearted obedience to what you were taught under the rule of faith;

What, then, shall we say? That, they of the nations, who were not in pursuit of righteousness, have laid hold of righteousness, - a righteousness, however, which is by faith;

Wherefore? Because, not by faith but as by works, have they sought it : they have stumbled at the stone of stumbling,

Even as it is written - Lo! I lay in Zion, a stone to strike against and a rock to stumble over, and, he that resteth faith thereupon, shall not be put to shame.

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who has faith.

Whereas, the righteousness by faith, thus speaketh - Do not say in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? That is, to bring, Christ, down,

But what saith it? Near thee, is the declaration, In thy mouth and in thy heart, - that is, the declaration of the faith, which we proclaim: -

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:

For in their hearts people exercise the faith that leads to right standing, and with their lips they make the acknowledgment which means salvation.

For the scripture saith - No one that resteth faith thereupon, shall be put to shame?

For there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile; for the same Lord is Lord over all [of us], and [He is] abounding in riches (blessings) for all who call on Him [in faith and prayer].

For [Joel 2:32 says], "Every person who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." [i.e., whoever appeals to God through obedient faith in Christ]

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?

'tis true, faith comes by preaching, and preaching is by the divine appointment.

Hence, our faith, cometh by something heard, and, that which is heard, through a declaration of Christ.

Well: by their want of faith, they have been broken out, - and, thou, by thy faith, dost stand! - Regard not lofty things, but be afraid;

Whereas, they also, unless they abide still in their want of faith, shall be grafted in, for God is, able, again to engraft them!

For I want to let you know about this secret, brothers, so that you will not claim to be wiser than you are: Stubbornness has come to part of Israel until the full number of the gentiles comes to faith.

For I say, through the favour which hath been given me, unto every one who is among you, - not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but so to think as to think soberly - as, unto each one, God hath dealt a measure of faith.

Now, having gifts of favour, according to the favour given unto us, differing - whether prophesying, let us use it according to the proportion of our faith,

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.

Do not put on one side him who is feeble in faith, and do not put him in doubt by your reasonings.

One man has faith to take all things as food: another who is feeble in faith takes only green food.

The faith which you have, have it to yourself before God. Happy is the man who is not judged by that to which he gives approval.

But he who is in doubt is judged if he takes food, because he does it not in faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.

Now we who are strong [in our convictions and faith] ought to [patiently] put up with the weaknesses of those who are not strong, and not just please ourselves.

Each of us must please his neighbour, doing him good by building up his faith.

And again Isaiah faith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and one arising to rule over the Gentiles: in him shall the Gentiles hope.

Now may the God of hope make you full of joy and peace through faith, so that all hope may be yours in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Pray that I may be rescued from those in Judea who reject the Faith, and that the help which I am taking to Jerusalem may prove acceptable to Christ's People;

Now may there be glory for ever, through Jesus Christ, to the only wise God, who is able to make you stand firm [in the faith], according to the good news and proclamation of Jesus Christ. This message is the secret which was [eventually] revealed, after having been kept quiet about for long ages.

But is now made clear; and by the writings of the prophets, by the order of the eternal God, the knowledge of it has been given to all the nations, so that they may come under the rule of the faith;

made known to all nations for the obedience of faith) To the only wise God, to him be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen!
