What fruit then had you at that time in those things in which you are now ashamed? for the end of these things is death.

So, my brethren, ye are dead to the law through the body of Christ, that ye should be married to another, to him who is risen from the dead, in order that we may bring forth fruit unto God.

But now we have been made free from the law, being dead in that in which we were held; so that we serve in the newness of the spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Then did that which is good become death to me? it could not be so: but sin, that it may appear sin, through the good was working out death to me, in order that sin may be exceedingly sinful through the commandment.

For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, having been sold under sin.

For that which I do, I know not: for I do that which I do not will; but I do that which I hate.

But if I do that which I do not will, I consent to the law that it is beautiful;

but now it is no more I that do it, but sin dwelling in me.

For I know that in me, that is, in my carnal mind, there dwells no good thing. For to will is present with me, but to do that which is beautiful is not:

for the good which I will I do not; but the evil which I do not will, that I do.

If I do that which I do not will, it is no longer I that do it, but sin dwelling in me.

Then I find a law, that, to me wishing to do that which is beautiful, that the evil is present with me:

O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

in order that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to depravity, but according to the spirit.

The Spirit Himself witnesses along with our spirit, that we are the children of God.

And if children, indeed heirs; truly heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if we suffer together, in order that we may also be glorified together.

For I reckon that the sufferings of these present times are not worthy to be compared to the glory which is about to be revealed in us.

For we know that all creation groans together and travails together until now;

For we are saved by hope: but hope which is seen is not hope: for why does any one indeed hope for that which he sees?

But if we hope for that which we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

but he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession towards God in behalf of the saints.

But we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to his purpose.

Because whom he did foreknow, he did also predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:

It is God who justifies: who is he that condemns? It is Christ who died, and rather who is risen, who is on the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding in our behalf.

As has been written, that We are killed all day for thy sake; we are counted as sheep of the slaughter.

But in all these we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

For I am persuaded that, neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come,

that there is great sorrow to me and incessant grief to my heart.

For I would pray, that I myself might be an offering from Christ; in behalf of my brethren, my kindred according to the flesh:

But not as that the word of God has been a failure. For these are not all Israel who are of Israel;

that is the children of the flesh the same are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

for the children not having been born, neither having done anything good or evil, in order that the purpose of God might stand according to election not of works, but of him that calleth,

Then it is not of him that willeth, nor him that runneth, but of God who shows mercy.

For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very thing have I raised you up, that I may show forth my power in you, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.

O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Whether shall the thing formed say to him that formed it. Why did you make me thus?

and in order that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he before prepared unto glory?

Then what shall we say? That the Gentiles, not pursuing righteousness, received righteousness, and the righteousness which is from faith:

as has been written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: and he that believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

For I testify to them, that they have a zeal of God, but not according to perfect knowledge;

For Moses describes the righteousness which is of the law, that the man having done this shall live in it.

But the righteousness of faith speaks thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend up into heaven? that is, to bring Christ down:

or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring him up from the dead.

But what says it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach.

That if you may confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and may believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved:

For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: for the same is Lord of all, rich unto all that call on him.

But I say, Whether does not Israel know? Moses first says, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, and with a nation void of understanding I will anger you.

and if by grace, it is not at all by works: since in that case grace is no more grace.

What then? Israel did not attain that which he was seeking, but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened:

as has been written, God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this day.

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

Then I say; Whether did they stumble that they may fall? it could not be so: but by their fall, salvation came to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy.

Then you will say, The branches were broken off, that I may be grafted in.

I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, as to this mystery, in order that you may not he wise with yourselves, that blindness in part has happened unto Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles may come in;

And this is the covenant with me unto them, that I may take away their sins.

even also these were now disobedient, in order that through the mercy shown to you they themselves may now also obtain mercy.

For God has shut up all in unbelief, in order that he may have mercy on all.

I exhort you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, your reasonable service:

and he not fashioned after this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

For I speak, through the grace which has been given unto me, for every one who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, as God has imparted to each one the measure of faith.

or ministry, it is in the ministry; or he that teacheth, in teaching;

or he that exhorteth, in exhortation; or he that giveth, with a single eye; he that presideth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.

Bless them that persecute you; bless, and scold not.

Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep.

Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities. For there is no authority except that which is from God; and the existing authorities have been ordained of God.

And recognizing this time, that it is already the hour we should wake out of sleep: for now our salvation is nearer than when we believed.

For unto this Christ died, and lives, in order that He may be Lord of the dead and of the living.

I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: except to him who considers it unclean, to him it is unclean.

The faith which you have, have it with yourself before God. Happy is the one not judging himself in that which he approves:

Let each of us please his neighbor in that which is good, unto edification;

for Christ did not please himself; but, as has been written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.

For so many things as were previously written were written for our instruction, in order that through the patience and through the consolation of the scriptures we may have hope.

In order that you may with one accord with one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For I say that Christ has been made minister of circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises of the fathers,

and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as has been written, Therefore I will confess thee among the Gentiles, and in thy name sing praises.

And again, Isaiah says, There shall be the root of Jesse, and he that ariseth to rule over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles hope.

And the God of hope fill you in all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Ghost.

But I am indeed persuaded, my brethren, concerning you, that you are also full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, being able also to admonish one another.

that I should be the minister of Christ Jesus unto the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles may be well received, having been sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem, and around about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ;

but being so ambitious not to preach the gospel, where Christ has been named, in order that I may not build on another man's foundation;

but I know that coming unto you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

But I exhort you, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you cooperate with me in your prayers to God in my behalf;

in order that I may be delivered from those in Judea who do not believe, and my ministry may be acceptable to the saints in Jerusalem;

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

in order that you may receive her in the Lord, worthily of the saints, and that ye may assist her in whatsoever matters she may need you: for she has been a helper of many, and myself.

For your obedience has come abroad unto all men: therefore I rejoice over you, and wish you to be wise in that which is good, and uncompromising towards that which is evil.

Gaius my host, and that of the whole church salutes you. Erastus the steward of the city, and brother Quartus, salute you.

so that you are deficient in no spiritual gift; awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;

But I exhort you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you may all speak the same things, and that there may be no schisms among you; but you may be perfected in the same mind and in the same disposition.

For it has been revealed to me concerning you, my brethren, by those who are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

And I say this, that each one says, I indeed am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

I thank God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius;

in order that no one may say that you are baptized in my name.

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with the wisdom of speech, in order that the cross of Christ may not be made of none effect.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

For you see your calling, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many influential, not many high-born:

but God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may confound the strong;

and God has chosen the base-born of the world, and those of no reputation, the things which are not, that He may set at nought the things which are,

in order that no flesh can boast in the sight of God.

in order that, as it has been written, Let him that glorieth glory in the Lord.
