God has fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he has raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you.

For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set you to be a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

Simeon has declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

For Moses of old time has in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.

Whom Jason has received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.

And has made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

Because he has appointed a day, in which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he has ordained; and of this he has given assurance unto all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.

Moreover you see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods, which are made with hands:

Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he has purchased with his own blood.

Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and has polluted this holy place.

And he said, The God of our fathers has chosen you, that you should know his will, and see that Just One, and should hear the voice of his mouth.

And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' party arose, and contended, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God.

Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he has a certain thing to tell him.

So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and asked me to bring this young man unto you, who has something to say unto you.

Who also has gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.

But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself has appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.

And when the natives saw the creature hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice allows not to live.

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has showed it unto them.

An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, who has the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

What advantage then has the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?

For if the truth of God has more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, has found?

For if Abraham were justified by works, he has something in which to boast; but not before God.

So also is the free gift not like the offense. For if through the offense of one many are dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, has abounded unto many.

That as sin has reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dies no more; death has no more dominion over him.

Know you not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?

For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he lives; but if the husband dies, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

For the creation was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who has subjected the same in hope,

Not as though the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel, who are of Israel:

Therefore has he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardens.

You will say then unto me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted his will?

Has not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?

Even us, whom he has called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

But Israel, who followed after the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.

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

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report?

I say then, Has God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the descendants of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

God has not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Elijah? how he makes intercession to God against Israel, saying,

What then? Israel has not obtained that which it seeks for; but the election has obtained it, and the rest were blinded

(According as it is 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.

For God has concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

For who has known the mind of the Lord? or who has been his counselor?

Or who has first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.

Let not him that eats despise him that eats not; and let not him who eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him.

For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not worked by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,

For it has pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints who are at Jerusalem.

It has pleased them greatly; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in material things.

That you receive her in the Lord, as becomes saints, and that you assist her in whatever business she has need of you: for she has been a helper of many, and of myself also.

For it has been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them who are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nothing things that are:

But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him.

But God has revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.

For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

If any man's work abide which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

For I think that God has set forth us the apostles last, as appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.

And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that has done this deed might be taken away from among you.

For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that has so done this deed,

And God has both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.

The wife has not power over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband has not power over his own body, but the wife.

For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man has his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother has a wife that believes not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

And the woman who has a husband that believes not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God has called us to peace.

But as God has distributed to every man, as the Lord has called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.

Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that has obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.

But if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she has not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

Nevertheless he that stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own will, and has so decreed in his heart that he will keep her his virgin, does well.

Even so has the Lord ordained that they who preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

There has no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above that you are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.

Does not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man has long hair, it is a shame unto him?

But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

But now has God set the members every one of them in the body, as it has pleased him.

For our more respectable parts have no need: but God has arranged the body together, having given more abundant honor to that part which lacked:

And God has set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helpers, administrators, various kinds of tongues.

How is it then, brethren? when you come together, every one of you has a psalm, has a doctrine, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

For he must reign, till he has put all enemies under his feet.

For he has put all things under his feet. But when he says all things are put under him, it is clear that he is excepted, who did put all things under him.

But God gives it a body as it has pleased him, and to every seed its own body.

Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God has prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, is God;

Who has also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

But if any has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overburden you all.

Who also has made us able ministers of the new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life.

In whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of them who believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Now he that has made us for the same thing is God, who also has given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that everyone may be recompensed for the things done in his body, according to what he has done, whether it be good or bad.

And all things are of God, who has reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

That is, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

For he has made him, who knew no sin, to be sin for us; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Be you not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? and what partnership has light with darkness?
