Much every way: and first, indeed, that to them were entrusted the oracles of God.

For what? if some have not believed, shall their unbelief make the faith of God of none effect?

Far be the thought: but let God be true, and every man false; according as it is written, So that thou shouldest be justified in thy words, and shouldest overcome when thou art in judgment.

But if our unrighteousness commend God's righteousness, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak according to man.

Far be the thought: since how shall God judge the world?

For if the truth of God, in my lie, has more abounded to his glory, why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

and not, according as we are injuriously charged, and according as some affirm that we say, Let us practise evil things, that good ones may come? whose judgment is just.

there is not the man that understands, there is not one that seeks after God.

there is no fear of God before their eyes.

Now we know that whatever the things the law says, it speaks to those under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be under judgment to God.

But now without law righteousness of God is manifested, borne witness to by the law and the prophets;

righteousness of God by faith of Jesus Christ towards all,and upon all those who believe: for there is no difference;

for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

whom God has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of his righteousness, in respect of the passing by the sins that had taken place before, through the forbearance of God;

Is God the God of Jews only? is he not of the nations also? Yea, of nations also:

since indeed it is one God who shall justify the circumcision on the principle of faith, and uncircumcision by faith.

For if Abraham has been justified on the principle of works, he has whereof to boast: but not before God;

for what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

Even as David also declares the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness without works:

(according as it is written, I have made thee father of many nations,) before the God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls the things which be not as being;

and hesitated not at the promise of God through unbelief; but found strength in faith, giving glory to God;

Therefore having been justified on the principle of faith, we have peace towards God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

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

and hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which has been given to us:

For scarcely for the just man will one die, for perhaps for the good man some one might also dare to die;

but God commends his love to us, in that, we being still sinners, Christ has died for us.

For if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much rather, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in the power of his life.

And not only that, but we are making our boast in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom now we have received the reconciliation.

But shall not the act of favour be as the offence? For if by the offence of one the many have died, much rather has the grace of God, and the free gift in grace, which is by the one man Jesus Christ, abounded unto the many.

For in that he has died, he has died to sin once for all; but in that he lives, he lives to God.

So also ye, reckon yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Neither yield your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God as alive from among the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God.

But thanks be to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but have obeyed from the heart the form of teaching into which ye were instructed.

Now, having got your freedom from sin, ye have become bondmen to righteousness.

But now, having got your freedom from sin, and having become bondmen to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end eternal life.

For the wages of sin is death; but the act of favour of God, eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

So that, my brethren, ye also have been made dead to the law by the body of the Christ, to be to another, who has been raised up from among the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.

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

Did then that which is good become death to me? Far be the thought. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death to me by that which is good; in order that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, good does not dwell: for to will is there with me, but to do right I find not.

For I do not practise the good that I will; but the evil I do not will, that I do.

For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man:

I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself with the mind serve God's law; but with the flesh sin's law.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, having sent his own Son, in likeness of flesh of sin, and for sin, has condemned sin in the flesh,

Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God; for neither indeed can it be:

and they that are in flesh cannot please God.

But ye are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed God's Spirit dwell in you; but if any one has not the Spirit of Christ he is not of him:

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

The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God.

And if children, heirs also: heirs of God, and Christ's joint heirs; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

For the anxious looking out of the creature expects the revelation of the sons of God:

that the creature itself also shall be set free from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

But he who searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for saints according to God.

But we do know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to purpose.

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

Who shall bring an accusation against God's elect? It is God who justifies:

who is he that condemns? It is Christ who has died, but rather has been also raised up; who is also at the right hand of God; who also intercedes for 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.

whose are the fathers; and of whom, as according to flesh, is the Christ, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

Not however as though the word of God had failed; for not all are Israel which are of Israel;

That is, they that are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned as seed.

the children indeed being not yet born, or having done anything good or worthless (that the purpose of God according to election might abide, not of works, but of him that calls),

What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Far be the thought.

So then it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shews mercy.

Aye, but thou, O man, who art thou that answerest again to God? Shall the thing formed say to him that has formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

And if God, minded to shew his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much long-suffering vessels of wrath fitted for destruction;

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

Brethren, the delight of my own heart and my supplication which I address to God for them is for salvation.

For I bear them witness that they have zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from among the dead, thou shalt be saved.

and how shall they preach unless they have been sent? according as it is written, How beautiful the feet of them that announce glad tidings of peace, of them that announce glad tidings of good things!

So faith then is by a report, but the report by God's word.

I say then, Has God cast away his people? Far be the thought. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

God has not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture says in the history of Elias, how he pleads with God against Israel?

according as it is written, God has given to them a spirit of slumber, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, unto this day.

if God indeed has not spared the natural branches; lest it might be he spare not thee either.

Behold then the goodness and severity of God: upon them who have fallen, severity; upon thee goodness of God, if thou shalt abide in goodness, since otherwise thou also wilt be cut away.

And they too, if they abide not in unbelief, shall be grafted in; for God is able again to graft them in.

For if thou hast been cut out of the olive tree wild by nature, and, contrary to nature, hast been grafted into the good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who are according to nature be grafted into their own olive tree?

For the gifts and the calling of God are not subject to repentance.

For as indeed ye also once have not believed in God, but now have been objects of mercy through the unbelief of these;

For God hath shut up together all in unbelief, in order that he might shew mercy to all.

O depth of riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable his judgments, and untraceable his ways!

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your intelligent service.

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

For I say, through the grace which has been given to me, to every one that is among you, not to have high thoughts above what he should think; but to think so as to be wise, as God has dealt to each a measure of faith.

Let love be unfeigned; abhorring evil; cleaving to good:

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

Let every soul be subject to the authorities that are above him. For there is no authority except from God; and those that exist are set up by God.

So that he that sets himself in opposition to the authority resists the ordinance of God; and they who thus resist shall bring sentence of guilt on themselves.

For rulers are not a terror to a good work, but to an evil one. Dost thou desire then not to be afraid of the authority? practise what is good, and thou shalt have praise from it;

for it is God's minister to thee for good. But if thou practisest evil, fear; for it bears not the sword in vain; for it is God's minister, an avenger for wrath to him that does evil.

For on this account ye pay tribute also; for they are God's officers, attending continually on this very thing.

Let not him that eats make little of him that eats not; and let not him that eats not judge him that eats: for God has received him.

He that regards the day, regards it to the Lord. And he that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that does not eat, it is to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.

But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou make little of thy brother? for we shall all be placed before the judgment-seat of God.

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

So then each of us shall give an account concerning himself to God.

Let not then your good be evil spoken of;
