And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,

for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.

For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.

And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), “Let us do evil that good may come”? Their condemnation is just.

for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned—

I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.

Just as it is written,
“For Your sake we are being put to death all day long;
We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

Just as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”

And just as Isaiah foretold,
“Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left to us a posterity,
We would have become like Sodom, and would have resembled Gomorrah.”

just as it is written,
“Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense,
And he who believes in Him will not be disappointed.”

How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!”

just as it is written,
“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
Eyes to see not and ears to hear not,
Down to this very day.”

and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,
“The Deliverer will come from Zion,
He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.”

For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience,

For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function,

Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not just please ourselves.

Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God.
