through whom also we have admission by faith into this grace in which we stand, and boast in hope of the glory of God.

and experience hope, and this hope maketh us not ashamed; because the love of God is diffused in our hearts by the holy Spirit that is given to us.

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through Him.

For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more being reconciled shall we be saved by his life.

And not only so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation.

Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, so death passed upon all men, for to that all have sinned:

But not as the offence, so also is the free gift: for if through the offence of one many died, much more hath the grace of God, and the gift bestowed by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

For the gift is not as the sentence was by one that sinned; for the sentence is passed from one offence to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences to justification.

For if, by the offence of one, death reigned through one, much more they who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life through one, even Jesus Christ.

Therefore as by the offence of one the effect of it was upon all men to condemnation: so also by the righteousness of one, the effect was upon all men to justification of life.

For as by the disobedience of one man many were made sinners; so by the obedience of One shall many be made righteous.

so grace might reign through righteousness, unto eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life:

for if we have been planted together in the resemblance of his death, so shall we be also of his resurrection.

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we might no longer be inslaved to sin:

Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him:

So also do ye reckon yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

But thanks be to God, that ye who were servants of sin, have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered to you:

For a married woman is bound by the law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband die, she is discharged from the law of her husband.

Therefore while her husband is living, she shall be called an adulteress if she become another man's: but if her husband be dead, she is free from the law; so that she is not an adulteress, though she become another man's.

And thus, my brethren, ye also are dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye might become another's, even his who is raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit unto God.

But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead by which we were bound, that we might serve God in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

What shall we say then? is the law sin? God forbid! Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust to be sinful, if the law had not said, "Thou shalt not covet."

But sin taking occasion by the commandment wrought in me all manner of concupiscence: for without the law sin was dead.

and the commandment which was intended to life, I found to be unto death.

For sin taking occasion by the commandment deceived me, and by it slew me.

Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid! But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good: that sin might be shewn by the commandment to be exceeding sinful.

For that which was impossible for the law to do, and in which it was weak through the corruption of the flesh, God by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sacrifice for sin, hath done; that is, hath condemned sin in the flesh:

that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit.

For they who are after the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; but they who are led by the Spirit, do mind spiritual things.

Now to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace:

because the carnal mind is an enemy to God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be:

And if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

And if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwelleth in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead, will also restore your mortal bodies to life, by his Spirit that now dwelleth in you.

for if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if by the Spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and co-heirs with Christ: if so be we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified with Him.

And I account the sufferings of this present time not worthy to be set against the glory that shall be revealed to us.

in hope that they also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen, is not hope; for what any one sees, how doth he yet hope for?

for those whom he foreknew, He also predetermined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that He might be as the first-born among many brethren: and whom He before ordained, these He also called;

What shall we say then to these things? if God be for us, who can be against us?

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

Nor because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children of promise: but "in Isaac shall thy seed be called."

and not to her only; but Rebecca also being with child by our father Isaac,

And the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, for this very purpose have I raised thee up, that I may shew forth my power in thee, and that my name may be declared through all the earth.

And in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there shall they be called the children of the living God.

And Esaias crieth out concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant shall be saved.

What shall we say then? that the Gentiles, who sought not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith;

because they sought it not by faith, but by the works of the law, for they stumbled at that stumbling-stone;

as it is written, "Behold I lay in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence:" and again, "Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed."

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved.

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, "That the man who doth those things shall live by them."

and believe in thine heart, that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him, shall not be ashamed.

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

and how shall they preach unless they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the good tidings of peace, who bring the good tidings of good things?

So that faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

But I say again, Did not Israel know this? when first Moses saith, "I will move you to jealousy by those who are not a people, I will provoke you to anger by a foolish nation:"

And if by grace, it is no more of works: for then grace is no longer grace. But if of works, it is no more grace: for then work is no longer work.

Let their eyes be darkened that they may not see, and always bow down their back.

Say I then, Have they stumbled, that they should fall irrecoverably? God forbid! but this I say, that by their fall salvation is come to the Gentiles to excite them to emulation.

Now if their fall be the riches of the world, and their diminution be the riches of the Gentiles, how much more will their fulness be?

for if the rejecting of them be the reconciling of the world, what will the receiving them again be but life from the dead?

Now if the first-fruits be holy, so is the whole heap: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

Wilt thou say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in?

Well; they were broken off for their infidelity, and thou standest by faith: therefore be not high-minded but fear.

Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: towards them that fell, severity; but towards thee, goodness; if thou continue in his goodness: for else thou also shalt be cut off.

And they, if they do not continue in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able again to graft them in.

For if thou wert cut out of the wild olive, which was natural to thee, and contrary to nature were grafted into a good olive; how much more shall these who are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive-tree?

For I would not have you, brethren, to be ignorant of this mystery, (least ye should be wise in your own eyes) that blindness in part is befallen Israel, till the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

And so all Israel shall be saved, as it is written, "The deliverer shall come out of Sion, and shall turn away impiety from Jacob:

so these also in your mercy have now been disobedient, that they themselves might be the objects of mercy.

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgements, and his ways not to be traced out!

Or who hath first given to Him? and it shall be returned.

For of Him, and through Him, and for Him, are all things. To Him be glory for ever. Amen.

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, and well-pleasing to God, as your rational service.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may experience what is the good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.

For by the grace conferred on me I charge every one among you, not to think of himself above what he ought to think: but to think with sobriety, according as God hath divided to every man the measure of faith.

Let love be unfeigned. Abhor that which is evil, cleave to that which is good;

be tenderly affected with brotherly love to each other, in honor preferring one another:

Be alike affected to each other: not aiming at high things, but accommodating yourselves to persons of low rank. Be not wise in your own conceit.

If it be possible, as much as ye can, live peaceably with all men.

Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Let every soul be subject to the powers that are over them: for there is no such power but from God: the powers that are over men, are appointed by God.

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wouldest thou then not be afraid of the civil power? do what is good, and thou shalt have praise from it:

for he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou dost evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is also the minister of God, as an avenger to execute his wrath upon the malefactor.

For you pay them tribute also for this reason; because they are God's ministers, continually attending hereunto.

Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? To his own master he standeth or falleth: yea, he shall be established; for God is able to establish him.

One preferreth some days to others; another esteemeth every day alike. Let every one be fully satisfied in his own mind.

For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and lives again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

for it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

I know and have been taught by the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: only to him that thinketh any thing unclean, to him it is unclean.

But if thy brother be grieved by thy food, thou dost not herein walk in love. Do not by thy food destroy him, for whom Christ died.

Let not your liberty then be evil-spoken of: for the kingdom of God consists not in meat and drink;

that in these serveth Christ, is acceptable to God, and approved by men.

And again Esaias saith, "There shall be a root of Jesse, and one that shall rise to rule over the Gentiles: in Him shall the Gentiles trust."

However, I have written to you, brethren, somewhat the more freely, in reminding you of your duty; because of the favor bestowed upon me by God,

that I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, administring the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the holy Spirit.

For I shall not go about to speak of any thing, but what Christ hath wrought by me, (to gain the obedience of the Gentiles,) both in word and deed:
