always in my prayers, requesting, if by any means now at last I may succeed by the will of God to come to you.

And do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?

who "will pay back to everyone according to their works:"

For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified

in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Christ Jesus.

and know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?

But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.

May it never be. For then how will God judge the world?

Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.

What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?

Happy is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin."

Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, "So will your seed be."

but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God's wrath through him.

For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.

For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.

For as through the one man's disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.

For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;

But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him;

For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.

What a wretched man I am. Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.

For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Neither, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children. But, "In Isaac will your seed be called."

For this is a word of promise, "At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son."

it was said to her, "The elder will serve the younger."

For he said to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."

You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?"

But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"

As he says also in Hosea, "I will call them 'my people,' which were not my people; and her 'beloved,' who was not beloved."

"It will be that in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' There they will be called 'children of the living God.'"

Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, "If the number of the sons of Israel are as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant who will be saved;

for the Lord will fulfill his word completely and without delay upon the earth."

even as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock that will make them fall; and no one who believes in him will be put to shame."

For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will live by them."

But the righteousness which is of faith says this, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?' (that is, to bring Christ down);

or, 'Who will descend into the abyss?' (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)"

that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."

For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."

How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a proclaimer?

And how will they proclaim unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things."

But I ask, did not Israel know? First Moses says, "I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, with a nation void of understanding I will make you angry."

But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree;

You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in."

for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

They also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, "There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

This is my covenant to them, when I will take away their sins."

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

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

Do not seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord."

Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head."

Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.

For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the same,

Who are you who judge another's servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for the Lord has power to make him stand.

But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.

For it is written, "'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.'"

So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.

and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, "therefore I will give praise to you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name."

Again, Isaiah says, "There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope."

For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

But, as it is written, "They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who have not heard will understand."

When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.

I know that, when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.

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