There is none that discerneth, There is none that seeketh out God:

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Now we know that, whatsoever things the law saith, to them who are within the law, it speaketh, in order that, every mouth, may be stopped and all the world come, under penal sentence, unto God.

But now, apart from law, a righteousness of God hath been manifested, borne witness to by the law and the prophets, -

A righteousness of God, through faith in JesusChrist, unto all that have faith; for there is no distinction, -

For, all, have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;

Whom God hath set forth as a propitiatory covering, through faith in his blood, for a showing forth of his righteousness, by reason of the passing-by of the previously committed sins,

In the forbearance of God, - with a view to a showing forth of his righteousness in the present season, that he might be righteous even when declaring righteous him that hath faith in Jesus.

Or, is God the God, of Jews only, and not of the nations also? Yea! of the nations also: -

If, at all events, God is one, who will declare righteous - the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through their faith.

For, if Abraham by works was declared righteous, he hath whereof to boast; - nevertheless, not towards God, -

For what doth the Scripture say? And Abraham believed in God, and it was reckoned unto him as righteousness.

Just as David also affirmeth the happiness of the man unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works: -

Even as it is written - Father of many nations, have I appointed thee: before him whom he believed - God, who causeth the dead to live, and calleth the things that are not as things that are: -

In respect, however, of the promise of God, he was not led to hesitate by unbelief, but received power by his faith, giving glory unto God,

Having, therefore, been declared righteous by faith, let us have, peace, towards God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, -

Through whom also we have had, our introduction, by our faithinto this favour wherein we stand; and let us boast in hope of the glory of God.

And, our hope, putteth not to shame. Because, the love of God, hath been poured out in our hearts, through the Holy Spirit that hath been given unto us:

For, scarcely in behalf of a righteous man, will one die, - in behalf of the good man indeed, peradventure one even dareth to die;

But God commendeth his own love unto us in that - we as yet being sinners, Christ in our behalf died.

For, if being enemies we were reconciled unto God through the death of his Son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

And, not only, so, but are even boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, - through whom, now, the reconciliation we have received.

But, not as the fault, so, alsothe decree of favour, for, if, by the fault of the one, the many died, much more, the favour of God and the free-gift in favour, by the one man Jesus Christ, unto the many superabounded;

For, in that he died, unto sin, died he once for all, but, in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

So, ye also, be reckoning yourselves to be - dead indeed unto sin, but, alive unto God in Christ Jesus.

Neither be presenting your members as weapons of unrighteousness unto sin, but present yourselves unto God as though alive from among the dead, and your members as weapons of righteousness unto God;

But thanks be unto God, that - whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient out of the heart unto the mould of teaching into which ye were delivered;

Whereas, now, having been freed from sin, and made servants unto God, ye have your fruit for sanctification and, the end, life age-abiding.

For, the wages of sin, is death; but, God's gift of favour, is life age-abiding, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

So, then, my brethren, ye also, were made dead unto the law through the body of the Christ, to the end ye might become another's - his who from among the dead was raised, in order that we might bring forth fruit unto God.

So that, the law, indeed, is holy, and the commandment, holy, and righteous and good.

Did, then, that which is good, unto me become death? Far be it! But it was sin, that it might appear sin, through that which was good unto me working out death, in order that, exceeding sinful, might sin become through the commandment.

I know, in fact, that there dwelleth not in me, that is, in my flesh, anything good; for, the wishing, lieth near me, but, the working out of what is right, not!

For not, the good that I wish, I do, but, the evil that I do not wish, the same I practise.

I have, in fact, a sympathetic pleasure in the law of God; according to the inner man.

Butthanks be unto God! - Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Hence, then, - I myself, with the mind, indeed, am in servitude unto a law of God; but; with the flesh; unto a law of sin.

For, what was impossible by the law in that it was weak through the flesh, God, by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,

Inasmuch as, what is preferred by the flesh, is hostile towards God, for, unto the law of God, it doth not submit itself, neither in fact can it. -

They, moreover, who in flesh have their being, cannot please, God.

But, ye, have not your being in flesh, but in spirit, - if at least, God's Spirit, dwelleth in you; and, if anyone hath not Christ's Spirit, the same, is not his; -

For, as many as by God's Spirit are being led, the same, are God's sons, -

The Spirit itself, beareth witness together with our spirit that we are children of God;

And, if children, heirs also - heirs, indeed, of God, but co-heirs with Christ, - if, at least, we are suffering together, in order that we may also be glorified together.

For, the eager outlook of creation, ardently awaiteth the revealing of the sons of God, -

That, creation itself also, shall be freed - from the bondage of the decay into the freedom of the glory of the sons of God;

And, he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what is preferred by the Spirit - that, according to God, he maketh intercession in behalf of saints;

We know, further, that, unto them who love God, God causeth all things to work together for good, - unto them who, according to purpose, are such as he hath called;

What, then, shall we say to a these things? If God is for us, who shall be against us?

Who shall bring an accusation against the chosen ones of God? God, who declareth righteous?

Who is he that condemneth? Christ Jesuswho died? - Nay! rather was raised from among the dead, - who is on the right hand of God, who also is making intercession in our behalf?

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

Whose are the fathers, and of whom is the Christ - according to the flesh - he who is over all, God, blessed unto the ages. Amen.

It is not, however, as though the word of God had failed; for, not all they who are of Israel, the same are Israel.

That is - not the children of the flesh, the same are children of God; but, the children of the promise, are reckoned as a seed.

They, in fact, not being yet born, nor having practised anything good or bad, - in order that the purpose of God by way of election might stand, - not by works but by him that was calling,

What, then, shall we say? Is there injustice with God? Far be it!

Hence, then, it is nor of him that wisheth nor of him that runneth, but of the mercy-shewing God.

O man! Who, nevertheless, art, thou, that art answering again unto God? Shall the thing formed say unto him that formed it - Why didst thou make me thus?

And, if God - wishing to shew his anger and to make known his power - bare, in much patience, with vessels of anger already fitted for destruction,

And it shall be - in the place where it was said to them- not my people are, ye! there, shall they be called - Sons of a Living God.

Brethren! the delight of my own heart and my supplication God-ward in their behalf, are for salvation;

For I bear them witness that they have, a zeal for God, - but not according to correct knowledge;

For, not knowing God's righteousness and, their own, seeking to establish, unto the righteousness of God, have they not submitted;

That, if thou shalt confess the declaration with thy mouth - That Jesus is, Lord, and shalt believe with thy hear - That, God, raised him from among the dead, thou shalt be saved; -

And how shall they proclaim, except they be sent? Even as it is written - How beautiful the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!

I say, then - Hath God cast off his people? Far be it! For, I also, am an Israelite, - of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin:

God hath not cast off his people, whom he fore approved. Or know ye not, in the account of Elijah what the scripture saith, when he intercedeth with God against Israel?

Even as it is written - God hath given unto them a spirit of stupor, - eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, - until this very day;

For, if, God, hath not spared, the natural branches, neither, thee, will he spare!

See, then, the kindness and the severity of God: upon them who have fallen, severity, - but, upon thee, the kindness of God, if thou abide still in the kindness, - otherwise, thou also, shalt he cut out;

Whereas, they also, unless they abide still in their want of faith, shall be grafted in, for God is, able, again to engraft them!

For, if, thou, out of the naturally wild olive was cut out, and, beyond nature, hast been engrafted into the good olive, how much rather, shall these, the natural branches be engrafted into their own olive tree?

For, not to be regretted, are the gifts and the calling of God: -

For, just as, ye, at one time had not yielded unto God, and yet now have received mercy by their refusal to yield,

For God hath shut up all together, in a refusal to yield, in order that, upon all, he may bestow mercy.

Oh! the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments! and untraceable his ways!

I beseech you therefore, brethren, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living, holy sacrifice, unto God acceptable, - your rational divine service;

And be not configuring yourselves unto this age, but be transforming yourselves by the renewing of your mind, to the end ye may be proving what is the thing willed by God - the good and acceptable and perfect.

For I say, through the favour which hath been given me, unto every one who is among you, - not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but so to think as to think soberly - as, unto each one, God hath dealt a measure of faith.

Your love, be without hypocrisy, - loathing that which is wicked, cleaving to that which is good;

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

Let, every soul, unto protecting authorities be in subjection; for there is no authority save by God, and, they that are in being, have by God been arranged, -

So that, he who rangeth himself against the authority, against the arrangement of God opposeth himself, and, they who oppose, shall unto themselves a sentence of judgment receive.

For, they who bear rule, are not a terror unto the good work but unto the evil. Wouldst thou not be afraid of the authority? That which is good, be thou doing, and thou shall have praise of the same;

For, God's minister, is he unto thee for that which is good. But, if, that which is evil, thou be doing, be afraid! For, not in vain, the sword he beareth; for, God's minister, he is, - an avenger, unto anger, to him who practiseth what is evil.

For, because of this, are ye paying tribute also, - for, God's ministers of state, they are, unto this very thing, giving constant attendance.

Let not, him that eateth, despise him that eateth not, and let not, him that eateth not, judge him that eateth; for, God, hath received him.

He that regardeth the day, unto the Lord, regardeth it, - and, he that eateth, unto the Lord, doth eat, for he giveth thanks unto God; and, he that eateth not, unto the Lord, doth not eat and give God thanks.

But, thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? Aye! and thou, why dost thou despise thy brother? For, all of us, shall present ourselves unto the judgment seat of God;

For it is written - Living am, I, saith the Lord, unto me, shall bow every knee, and, every tongue, shall openly confess unto God.

Hence, then, each one of us, of himself shall give account unto God.

Therefore, suffer not to be defamed, your own good thing;

For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in Holy Spirit;

For, he that in this doeth service unto the Christ, is acceptable unto God, and approved unto men.

Do not, for the sake of food, be throwing down the work of God! All things, indeed, are pure; but, ill, is it for the man who with occasion of stumbling doth eat, -

The faith which thou hast, have to thyself before God: happy, he that bringeth not judgment upon himself by that which he approveth;

Let, each one of us, unto his neighbour give pleasure - for what is good unto upbuilding;

Now may, the God of the endurance and of the encouragement, give you, the same thing, to be regarding amongst one another, according to Christ Jesus;

In order that, with one accord, with one mouth, ye maybe glorifying the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Wherefore receive ye one another, even as, Christ also, hath received us unto the glory of God: -
