But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God.

And if we are children, then we are heirs; heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ; so that if we suffer with Him, we may also be glorified together.

For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.

that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

And He searching the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

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

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

Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God who justifies.

Who is he condemning? It is Christ who has died, but rather also who is raised, 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.

who are Israelites; to whom belong the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service of God, and the promises;

whose are the fathers, and of whom is the Christ according to flesh, He being God over all, blessed forever. Amen.

Not however that the Word of God has failed, for not all those of Israel are Israel;

That is, not the children of the flesh are children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for a seed.

(for the children had not yet been born, neither had done any good or evil; but that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who called,)

What shall we say then? Is there not unrighteousness with God? Let it not be!

So then it is not of the one willing, nor of the one running, but of God, the One showing mercy.

No, but, O man, who are you who replies against God? Shall the thing formed say to Him who formed it, Why have you made me this way?

What if God, willing to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction;

And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them. "You are not My people; there they shall be called sons of the living God."

Brothers, truly my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is for it to be saved.

For I bear record to them that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

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

Because if you confess the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.

And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of good things!"

Then faith is of hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

I say then, Did not God put away His people? Let it not be said! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

God did not thrust out His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture said in Elijah, how he pleaded with God against Israel, saying,

even as it is written, "God gave to them a spirit of slumber, eyes not seeing, and ears not hearing" until this day.

For if God did not spare the natural branches, fear lest He also may not spare you either!

Behold then the kindness, and the severity of God; on those having fallen, severity; but on you, kindness, if you continue in the kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.

And those also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in. For God is able to graft them in again.

For if you were cut out of the natural wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more these being according to nature will be grafted into their own olive-tree?

For the free gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

For as you also then disbelieved God, but now have been shown mercy through their disbelief,

For God has shut up all in unbelief, so that He might show mercy to all.

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!

I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, in order to prove by you what is that good and pleasing and perfect will of God.

For I say, through the grace given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think. But set your mind to be right-minded, even as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Let love be without hypocrisy, shrinking from evil, cleaving to good;

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities. For there is no authority but of God; the authorities that exist are ordained by God.

So that the one resisting the authority resists the ordinance of God; and the ones who resist will receive judgment to themselves.

For the rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the bad. And do you desire to be not afraid of the authority? Do the good, and you shall have praise from it.

For it is a servant of God to you for good. For if you practice evil, be afraid, for it does not bear the sword in vain; for it is a servant of God, a revenger for wrath on him who does evil.

For because of this you also pay taxes. For they are God's servants, always giving attention to this very thing.

Do not let him who eats despise him who does not eat; and do not let him who does not eat judge him who eats, for God has received him.

Who are you that judges another's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. But he will stand, for God is able to make him stand.

He who regards the day regards it to the Lord; and he not regarding the day, does not regard it to the Lord. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, does not eat to the Lord, and gives God thanks.

For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God."

So then each one of us will give account concerning himself to God.

Then do not let your good be spoken evil of,

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

For he who serves Christ in these things is well-pleasing to God, and approved by men.

Do not undo the work of God for food. Truly, all things indeed are clean, but it is bad to the man eating because of a stumbling-block.

It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything by which your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak.

Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Blessed is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.

Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good, to building up.

And may the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like minded toward one another according to Christ Jesus,

so that with one mind and one mouth you may glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore receive one another as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.

And I say, Jesus Christ has become a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers,

and that the nations might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written, "For this cause I will confess to You in the nations, and I will praise Your name."

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

But, brothers, I wrote to you boldly, as reminding you in part, because of the grace that is given to me by God,

that I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the nations, ministering the gospel of God, so that the offering up of the nations might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Therefore I have boasting in Christ Jesus as to the things pertaining to God.

in power of miracles and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem, and all around to Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

But I exhort you, brothers, for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ and for the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

so that I may come to you with joy by the will of God, and may be refreshed with you.

Now may the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

For they who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches they deceive the hearts of the simple.

For your obedience reached to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf, But I would have you truly wise as to good, and simple toward evil.

And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

but now has been made plain, and by the prophetic Scriptures, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith;

to God only wise be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.

Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

to the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called out with all those in every place who call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.

Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank my God always on your behalf for the grace of God given you in Jesus Christ,

God is faithful, by whom you were called to the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

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

For the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those being lost, but to us being saved, it is the power of God.

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the lawyer of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom did not know God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.

But to them, the called-out ones, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Because the foolish thing of God is wiser than men, and the weak thing of God is stronger than men.

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 God has chosen the base things of the world, and things which are despised, and things which are not, in order to bring to nothing things that are;

But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who of God is made to us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption;

And I, brothers, when I came to you, did not come with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.

so that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, which God has hidden, predetermining it before the world for our glory;

But as it is written, "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard," nor has it entered into the heart of man, "the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God.

For who among men knows the things of a man except the spirit of man within him? So also no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit from God, so that we might know the things that are freely given to us by God.
