For if, by reason of the offence of the one man, Death reigned through that one man, far more will those, upon whom God's loving- kindness and his gift of righteousness are lavished, find Life, and reign through the one man, Jesus Christ.

For, as through the disobedience of the one man the whole race was rendered sinful, so, too, through the obedience of the one, the whole race will be rendered righteous.

In order than, just as Sin had reigned in the realm of Death, so, too, might Loving-kindness reign through righteousness, and result in Immortal Life, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Consequently, through sharing his death in our baptism, we were buried with him; that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by a manifestation of the Father's power, so we also may live a new Life.

So let it be with you-regard yourselves as dead to sin, but as living for God, through union with Christ Jesus.

The wages of Sin are Death, but the gift of God is Immortal Life, through union with Christ Jesus, our Lord.

Thank God, there is deliverance through Jesus Christ, our Lord! Well then, for myself, with my reason I serve the Law of God, but with my earthly nature the Law of Sin.

For through your union with Christ Jesus, the Law of the life- giving Spirit has set you free from the Law of Sin and Death.

And, if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives within you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give Life even to your mortal bodies, through his Spirit living within you.

Yet amidst all these things we more than conquer through him who loved us!

For in order that the purpose of God, working through selection, might not fail-a selection depending, not on obedience, but on his Call-Rebecca was told, before her children were born and before they had done anything either right or wrong,

For Moses writes that, as for the righteousness which results from Law, 'those who practice it will find Life through it.'

But I ask 'Is it possible that men have never heard?' No, indeed, for--'Their voices spread through all the earth, and their Message to the very ends of the world.'

I ask then--'Was their stumbling to result in their fall?' Heaven forbid! On the contrary, through their falling away Salvation has reached the Gentiles, to stir the rivalry of Israel.

For all things are from him, through him, and for him. And to him be all glory for ever and ever! Amen.

You are bound, therefore, to obey, not only through fear of God's punishments, but also as a matter of conscience.

Through my union with the Lord Jesus, I know and am persuaded that nothing is 'defiling in itself.' A thing is 'defiling' only to him who holds it to be so.

For the Kingdom of God does not consist of eating and drinking, but of righteousness and peace and gladness through the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Whatever was written in the Scriptures in days gone by was written for our instruction, so that, through patient endurance, and through the encouragement drawn from the Scriptures, we might hold fast to our hope.

It is, then, through my union with Christ Jesus that I have a proud confidence in my work for God.

For I will not dare to speak of anything but what Christ has done through me to win the obedience of the Gentiles--

By my words and actions, through the power displayed in signs and marvels, and through the power of the Holy Spirit. And so, starting from Jerusalem and its neighborhood, and going as far as Illyria, I have told in full the Good News of the Christ;

And, in obedience to the command of the Immortal God, made known through the writings of the Prophets to all nations, to secure submission to the Faith--

To him, I say, the wise and only God, be ascribed, through Jesus Christ, all glory for ever and ever. Amen.

For through union with him you were enriched in every way-in your power to preach, and in your knowledge of the Truth;

Yet to us God revealed it through his Spirit; for the Spirit fathoms all things, even the inmost depths of God's being.

What, I ask, is Apollos? or what is Paul? Servants through whom you were led to accept the Faith; and that only as the Lord helped each of you.

If any man's work is burnt up, he will suffer loss; though he himself will escape, but only as one who has passed through fire.

Though you may have thousands of instructors in the Faith of Christ, yet you have not many fathers. It was I who, through union with Christ Jesus, became your father by means of the Good News.

Such some of you used to be; but you washed yourselves clean. You became Christ's People! you were pronounced righteous through the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the Spirit of our God!

For, through his wife, the husband who is an unbeliever has become associated with Christ's People; and the wife who is an unbeliever has become associated with Christ's People through our Brother whom she has married. Otherwise your children would be 'defiled,' but, as it is, they belong to Christ's People.

Yet for us there is only one God, the Father, from whom all things come (and for him we live), and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things come (and through him we live).

And so, through this knowledge of yours, the weak man is ruined-your Brother for whose sake Christ died!

I want you to bear in mind, Brothers, that all our ancestors were beneath the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

To one is given the power to speak with wisdom through the Spirit; to another the power to speak with knowledge, due to the same Spirit;

But it is through the love of God that I am what I am, and the love that he showed me has not been wasted. No, I have toiled harder than any of them, and yet it was not I, but the love of God working with me.

For, since through a man there is death, so, too, through a man there is a resurrection of the dead.

For, as through union with Adam all men die, so through union with the Christ will all be made to live.

Daily I face death-I swear it, Brothers, by the pride in you that I feel through my union with Christ Jesus, our Lord.

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

I will come to you as soon as I have been through Macedonia- -for I am going through Macedonia-

It is true that we have our full share of the sufferings of the Christ, but through the Christ we have also our full share of consolation.

For, many as were the promises of God, in Christ is the 'Yes' that fulfils them. Therefore, through Christ again, let the 'Amen' rise, through us, to the glory of God.

I do not mean that we are to dictate to you with regard to your faith; on the contrary, we work with you for your true happiness; indeed, it is through your faith that you are standing firm.

All thanks to God, who, through our union with the Christ, leads us in one continual triumph, and uses us to spread the sweet odor of the knowledge of him in every place.

This, then, is the confidence in regard to God that we have gained through the Christ.

Though hard pressed on every side, we are never hemmed in; through perplexed, never driven to despair;

But all this is the work of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave us the Ministry of Reconciliation--

It is, then, on Christ's behalf that we are acting as ambassadors, God, as it were, appealing to you through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf--Be reconciled to God.

Him who never knew sin God made to be Sin, on our behalf; so that we, through union with him, might become the Righteousness of God.

For you do not forget the loving-kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ--how that for your sakes, although he was rich, he became poor, so that you also might become rich through his poverty.

We are sending with him the Brother whose fame in the service of the Good News has spread through all the Churches;

Through the evidence afforded by the service thus rendered, you cause men to praise God for your fidelity to your profession of faith in the Good News of the Christ, as well as for the liberality of your contributions for them and for all others.

My journeys have been many. I have been through dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my own people, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in towns, dangers in the country, dangers on the sea, dangers among false Brothers.

I have been through toil and hardship. I have passed many a sleepless night; I have endured hunger and thirst; I have often been without food; I have known cold and nakedness.

But I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and so escaped his hands.

Do you assert that I took advantage of you through any of those whom I have sent to you?

And that will be the proof, which you are looking for, that the Christ speaks through me. There is no weakness in his dealings with you. No, he shows his power among you.

For though his crucifixion was due to weakness, his life is due to the power of God. And we, also, are weak in his weakness, but with him we shall live for you through the power of God.

I am astonished at your so soon deserting him, who called you through the love of Christ, for a different 'Good News,'

I, at least, did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through a revelation made by Jesus Christ.

But, on account of the false Brothers who had stolen in, the men who had crept in to spy upon the liberty which we have through union with Christ Jesus, in order to bring us back to slavery--

We, though we are Jews by birth and not outcasts of Gentile origin, know that no one is pronounced righteous as the result of obedience to Law, but only through faith in Christ Jesus.

If, while seeking to be pronounced righteous through union with Christ, we were ourselves seen to be outcasts, would that make Christ an agent of sin? Heaven forbid!

I, indeed, through Law became dead to Law, in order to live for God.

I do not reject the love of God. If righteousness comes through Law, then there was no need for Christ to die!

Did you go through so much to no purpose?--if indeed it really was to no purpose!

And Scripture, foreseeing that God would pronounce the Gentiles righteous as the result of faith, foretold the Good News to Abraham in the words--'Through thee all the Gentiles shall be blessed.'

Again, it is evident that no one is pronounced righteous before God through Law, for we read--'Through faith the righteous man shall find Life.'

But the Law is not based on faith; no, its words are--'Those who practice these precepts will find Life through them.'

And this he did that the blessing given to Abraham might be extended to the Gentiles through their union with Jesus Christ; that so, through our faith, we also might receive the promised gift of the Spirit.

What, then, you ask, was the use of the Law? It was a later addition, to make men conscious of their wrong-doings, and intended to last only till the coming of that 'offspring' to whom the promise had been made; and it was delivered through angels by a mediator.

For you are all Sons of God, through your faith in Christ Jesus.

You have severed yourselves from Christ--you who are seeking to be pronounced righteous through Law; you have fallen away from love.

If a man is in union with Christ Jesus, neither is circumcision nor the omission of it anything, but faith, working through love, is everything.

I, through my union with the Lord, am persuaded that you will learn to think with me. But the man who is disturbing your minds will have to bear his punishment, whoever he may be.

But, for my part, may I never boast of anything except the cross of Jesus Christ, our Master, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

From the first he destined us, in his good-will towards us, to be adopted as Sons through Jesus Christ,

For in him, and through the shedding of his blood, we have found redemption in the pardon of our offenses.

My prayer is that the God of Jesus Christ our Lord, the all- glorious Father, may inspire you with wisdom and true insight through a fuller knowledge of himself;

And, through our union with Christ Jesus, God raised us with him, and caused us to sit with him on high,

For it is by God's loving-kindness that you have been saved, through your faith. It is not due to yourselves; the gift is God's.

But now, through your union with Christ Jesus, you who once were 'far off' have, by the shedding of the blood of the Christ, been brought 'near.'

And in his human nature put an end to the cause of enmity between them--the Law with its injunctions and ordinances--in order to create, through union with himself, from Jew and Gentile, one New Man and thus make peace.

For it is through him that we, the Jews and the Gentiles, united in the one Spirit, are now able to approach the Father.

And, through union in him, you also are being built up together, to be a dwelling-place for God through the Spirit.

That, by union with Christ Jesus and through the Good News, the Gentiles are co-heirs with us and members of one Body, and that they share with us in God's Promise.

So that now to the Archangels and to all the Powers on high should be made known, through the Church, the all-embracing wisdom of God,

In accordance with that purpose which runs through all the ages and which he has now accomplished in Jesus, the Christ, our Master.

And in union with him, and through our trust in him, we find courage to approach God with confidence.

So that the Christ, through your faith, may make his home within your hearts in love; And I pray that you, now firmly rooted and established, may, with all Christ's People,

To him who, through his power which is at work within us, is able to do far more than anything that we can ask or conceive--

To him be all glory through the Church and through Christ Jesus, for all generations, age after age. Amen.

Then we shall no longer be like infants, tossed backward and forward, blown about by every breath of human teaching, through the trickery and the craftiness of men, towards the snares of error;

And through union with him were taught the Truth, as it is to be found in Jesus.

And do not grieve God's Holy Spirit; for it was through that Spirit that God sealed you as his, against the Day of Redemption.

Bearing a rich harvest of that righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

And besides this, most of our Brothers have gained confidence in the Lord through my chains, and now venture with far greater freedom to speak of God's Message fearlessly.

Yes, and I will rejoice, for I know that, through your prayers and through a rich supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 'all this will make for my Salvation.'

If, then, any encouragement comes through union with Christ, if there is any persuasive power in love, if there is any communion with the Spirit, if there is any tenderness or pity,
