But was marked out as Son of God in power by the Holy Spirit through the coming to life again of the dead; Jesus Christ our Lord,

Because, having the knowledge of God, they did not give glory to God as God, and did not give praise, but their minds were full of foolish things, and their hearts, being without sense, were made dark.

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:

(As it is said in the holy Writings, I have made you a father of a number of nations) before him in whom he had faith, that is, God, who gives life to the dead, and to whom the things which are not are as if they were.

And not being feeble in faith though his body seemed to him little better than dead (he being about a hundred years old) and Sarah was no longer able to have children:

Still, he did not give up faith in the undertaking of God, but was made strong by faith, giving glory to God,

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,

But the free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men.

In no way. How may we, who are dead to sin, be living in it any longer?

We have been placed with him among the dead through baptism into death: so that as Christ came again from the dead by the glory of the Father, we, in the same way, might be living in new life.

Because he who is dead is free from sin.

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.

Even so see yourselves as dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.

And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.

For the woman who has a husband is placed by the law under the power of her husband as long as he is living; but if her husband is dead, she is free from the law of the husband.

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.

In the same way, my brothers, you were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, even to him who came again from the dead, so that we might give fruit to God.

But now we are free from the law, having been made dead to that which had power over us; so that we are servants in the new way of the spirit, not in the old way of the letter.

But sin, taking its chance through that which was ordered by the law, was working in me every form of desire: because without the law sin is dead.

And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

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 you did not get the spirit of servants again to put you in fear, but the spirit of sons was given to you, by which we say, Abba, Father.

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 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.

For the holy Writings say to Pharaoh, For this same purpose did I put you on high, so that I might make my power seen in you, and that there might be knowledge of my name through all the earth.

But, O man, who are you, to make answer against God? May the thing which is made say to him who made it, Why did you make me so?

What then may we say? That the nations who did not go after righteousness have got righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:

But Israel, going after a law of righteousness, did not get it.

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:

But I say, Did not the word come to their ears? Yes, certainly: Their sound has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

What then? That which Israel was searching for he did not get, but those of the selection got it and the rest were made hard.

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?

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

And for this purpose Christ went into death and came back again, that he might be the Lord of the dead and of the living.

For Christ did not give pleasure to himself, but, as it is said, The bitter words of those who were angry with you came on me.

Give my love to Tryphaena and Tryphosa, workers in the Lord. Give my love to my dear Persis, who did much work in the Lord.
