Since we have heard that some have gone out from among us with no orders from us and have confused you, upsetting your minds by what they said,

and are advocating customs that are not lawful for us to accept or practice, since we are Romans."

So since we are God's offspring, we should not think the deity is like gold or silver or stone, an image made by human skill and imagination.

For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes -- his eternal power and divine nature -- have been clearly seen, because they are understood through what has been made. So people are without excuse.

Since God is one, he will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.

Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, since we have been reconciled, will we be saved by his life?

We know that since Christ has been raised from the dead, he is never going to die again; death no longer has mastery over him.

For since in the wisdom of God the world by its wisdom did not know God, God was pleased to save those who believe by the foolishness of preaching.

for you are still influenced by the flesh. For since there is still jealousy and dissension among you, are you not influenced by the flesh and behaving like unregenerate people?

In no way did I mean the immoral people of this world, or the greedy and swindlers and idolaters, since you would then have to go out of the world.

For a man should not have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.

If the foot says, "Since I am not a hand, I am not part of the body," it does not lose its membership in the body because of that.

And if the ear says, "Since I am not an eye, I am not part of the body," it does not lose its membership in the body because of that.

It is the same with you. Since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, seek to abound in order to strengthen the church.

Otherwise, if you are praising God with your spirit, how can someone without the gift say "Amen" to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?

For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also came through a man.

So here is my opinion on this matter: It is to your advantage, since you made a good start last year both in your giving and your desire to give,

because he not only accepted our request, but since he was very eager, he is coming to you of his own accord.

because I know your eagerness to help. I keep boasting to the Macedonians about this eagerness of yours, that Achaia has been ready to give since last year, and your zeal to participate has stirred up most of them.

Since many are boasting according to human standards, I too will boast.

For since you are so wise, you put up with fools gladly.

since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak toward you but is powerful among you.

For it is right for me to think this about all of you, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel all of you became partners in God's grace together with me.

And since I am sure of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for the sake of your progress and joy in the faith,

since you are encountering the same conflict that you saw me face and now hear that I am facing.

since it was because of the work of Christ that he almost died. He risked his life so that he could make up for your inability to serve me.

since we heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and the love that you have for all the saints.

If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, since he cannot deny himself.

For Demas deserted me, since he loved the present age, and he went to Thessalonica. Crescens went to Galatia and Titus to Dalmatia.

Now when God made his promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself,

so that we who have found refuge in him may find strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us through two unchangeable things, since it is impossible for God to lie.

where Jesus our forerunner entered on our behalf, since he became a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.

And since this was not done without a sworn affirmation -- for the others have become priests without a sworn affirmation,

but he holds his priesthood permanently since he lives forever.

He has no need to do every day what those priests do, to offer sacrifices first for their own sins and then for the sins of the people, since he did this in offering himself once for all.

Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.

But now Jesus has obtained a superior ministry, since the covenant that he mediates is also better and is enacted on better promises.

"And there will be no need at all for each one to teach his countryman or each one to teach his brother saying, 'Know the Lord,' since they will all know me, from the least to the greatest.

And so he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the eternal inheritance he has promised, since he died to set them free from the violations committed under the first covenant.

For a will takes effect only at death, since it carries no force while the one who made it is alive.

for then he would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the consummation of the ages to put away sin by his sacrifice.

For otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers would have been purified once for all and so have no further consciousness of sin?

Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
