Which are the Israelites, to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants and the law that was given and the service of God, and the promises,

whose also are the fathers, and they of whom; as concerning the flesh; Christ came: which is God over all things, blessed forever. Amen.

I speak not these things as though the words of God had taken none effect. For they are not all Israelites which came of Israel;

that is to say; They which are the children of the flesh, are not the children of God. But the children of promise are counted the seed.

yer the children were born, when they had neither done good neither bad - that the purpose of God, which is by election, might stand - it was said unto her, not by the reason of works, but by grace of the caller,

What shall we say then? Is there any unrighteousness with God? God forbid.

So lieth it not then in a man's will, or cunning, but in the mercy of God.

But O man what art thou, which disputest with God? Shall the work say to the workman, "Why hast thou made me on this fashion?"

Even so, God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, suffered with long patience the vessels of wrath, ordained to damnation,

And, "It shall come to pass, in the place where it was said unto them, 'ye are not my people,' that there shall be called the children of the living God."

He finisheth the work verily and maketh it short in righteousness. For a short word will God make on earth."

Brethren: my heart's desire, and prayer to God for Israel, is that they might be saved.

For they are ignorant of the righteousness which is allowed before God, and go about to establish their own righteousness: and therefore, are not obedient unto the righteousness which is of value before God.

For if thou shalt knowledge with thy mouth that Jesus is the Lord, and shalt believe with thine heart that God raised him up from death, thou shalt be safe.

And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of them which bring glad tidings of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things."

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing cometh by the word of God.

I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For even I verily am an Israelite of the seed of Abraham, and of the tribe of Benjamin;

God hath not cast away his people which he knew before. Either know ye not what the scripture saith by the mouth of Elijah, how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

But what saith the answer of God to him again? "I have reserved unto me seven thousand men which have not bowed their knees to Baal."

according as it is written, "God hath given them the spirit of unquietness: eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, even unto this day."

I say then, Have they therefore stumbled that they should but fall only? God forbid: but through their fall is salvation happened unto the gentiles for to provoke them withal.

seeing that God spared not the natural branches, lest haply he also spare not thee.

Behold the kindness and rigorousness of God: on them which fell, rigorousness: but towards thee, kindness; if thou continue in his kindness. Or else thou shalt be hewn off,

and they if they bide not still in unbelief shall be grafted in again. For God is of power to graft them in again.

For if thou wast cut out of a natural wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature in a true olive tree: how much more shall the natural branches be graffed in their own olive tree again?

For verily the gifts and calling of God are such, that it cannot repent him of them.

For look, as ye in time past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

God hath wrapped all nations in unbelief, that he might have mercy on all.

O the deepness of the abundant wisdom and knowledge of God: how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out.

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercifulness of God, that ye make your bodies a living sacrifice: holy and acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable serving of God.

And fashion not yourselves like unto this world: But be changed through the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what thing that good, that acceptable, and perfect will of God is.

For I say, through the grace that unto me is given, to every man among you: that no man esteem of himself more than it becometh him to esteem - But that he discreetly judge of himself according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Let love be without dissimulation. Hate that which is evil, and cleave unto that which is good.

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves but give room unto the wrath of God. For it is written, "Vengeance is mine, and I will reward, saith the Lord."

Let every soul submit himself unto the authority of the higher powers. For there is no power, but of God. The powers that be, are ordained of God.

Whosoever therefore resisteth power, resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist, shall receive to themselves damnation.

For rulers are not to be feared for good works but for evil. Wilt thou be without fear of the power? Do well then: and so shalt thou be praised of the same.

For he is the minister of God, for thy wealth. But and if thou do evil, then fear: for he beareth not a sword for nought; but is the minister of God, to take vengeance on them that do evil.

And even for this cause pay ye tribute. For they are God's ministers, serving for the same purpose.

Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not. And let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth. For God hath received him.

What art thou that judgest another man's servant? Whether he stand or fall, that pertaineth unto his master. Yea, he shall stand. For God is able to make him stand.

He that observeth one day more than another, doth it for the Lord's pleasure. And he that observeth not one day more than another, doth it to please the Lord, also. He that eateth, doth it to please the lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, eateth not to please the Lord withal, and giveth God thanks.

For it is written, "As truly as I live, saith the Lord, all knees shall bow to me, and all tongues shall give a knowledge to God."

So shall every one of us give accounts of himself to God.

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, peace and joy, in the holy ghost.

For whosoever in these things serveth Christ, pleaseth well God: and is commended of men.

Destroy not the work of God for a little meat's sake. All things are pure: but it is evil for that man, which eateth with hurt of his conscience.

It is good neither to eat flesh, neither to drink wine, neither anything, whereby thy brother stumbleth, either falleth, or is made weak.

Hast thou faith? Have it with thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

The God of patience and consolation give unto every one of you, that ye be like likeminded one towards another after the example of Jesus Christ:

that ye, all agreeing together, may with one mouth praise God the father of our Lord Jesus.

Wherefore receive ye one another as Christ received us, to the praise of God.

And I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers.

And let the gentiles praise God for his mercy. As it is written, "For this cause I will praise thee among the gentiles, and sing in thy name."

The God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may be rich in hope through the power of the holy ghost.

Nevertheless, brethren, I have somewhat boldly written unto you, as one that putteth you in remembrance, through the grace that is given me of God

for this purpose: that I should be the minister of Jesus Christ among the gentiles, and should minister the glad tidings of God, that the gentiles might be an acceptable offering, sanctified by the holy ghost.

I have, therefore, whereof I may rejoice in Christ Jesus, in those things which pertain to God.

in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the spirit of God: so that from Jerusalem and the coasts round about, unto Illyricum, I have filled all countries with glad tidings of Christ.

I beseech you brethren for our Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the spirit, that ye help me in my business, with your prayers to God for me,

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

The God of peace be with all you Amen.

for your obedience extendeth to all men. I am glad no doubt of you. But yet I would have you wise unto that which is good. And to be innocent as concerning evil.

The God of peace tread Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

but now is opened at this time and declared opened by the scriptures of prophecy, at the commandment of the everlasting God, to stir up obedience to the faith published among all nations:

To the same God, which alone is wise, be praise through Jesus Christ for ever Amen. {To the Romans. Sent from Corinth by Phoebe, she that was the minister unto the congregation at Cenchreae}

Paul, by vocation an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Sosthenes.

Unto the congregation of God which is at Corinth. To them that are sanctified in Jesus Christ, saints by calling, with all that call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both of theirs and of ours.

Grace be with you and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

For God is faithful, by whom ye are called unto the fellowship of his son Jesus Christ our Lord.

I thank God that I baptised none of you, but Crispus and Gaius,

For the preaching of the cross is, to them that perish, foolishness: but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God.

Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the searcher of this world? Hath not God made the wisdom of this world foolishness?

For when the world, through wisdom, knew not God in the wisdom of God: it pleased God through foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

But unto them which are called, both of Jews and Greeks, we preach Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

For the foolishness of God is wiser than men: And the weakness of God is stronger than are men.

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to confound the wise. And God hath chosen the weak things of the world, to confound things which are mighty.

And vile things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things of no reputation, for to bring to nought things of reputation,

And unto him pertain ye, in Christ Jesus, which of God is made unto us wisdom, and also righteousness, and sanctifying, and redemption.

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not in gloriousness of words or of wisdom, showing unto you the testimony of God.

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

but we speak the wisdom of God, which is in secret and lieth hid, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

But as it is written, "The eye hath not seen, and the ear hath not heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."

But God hath opened them unto us by his spirit. For the spirit searcheth all things, yea the bottom of God's secrets.

For what man knoweth the things of a man: save the spirit of a man which is within him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the spirit of God.

And we have not received the spirit of the world: but the spirit which cometh of God, for to know the things that are given to us of God,

For the natural man perceiveth not the things of the spirit of God, for they are but foolishness unto him: Neither can he perceive them, because he is spiritually examined.

I have planted. Apollos watered. But God gave increase.

So then, neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth: but God which gave the increase.

We are God's laborers: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

According to the grace of God given unto me, as a wise builder have I laid the foundation; and another hath built thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth upon.

Are ye not aware that ye are the temple of God, and how that the spirit of God dwelleth in you?

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He compasseth the wise in their craftiness."

And again, "God knoweth the thoughts of the wise that they be vain."

and ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

Let men this wise esteem us, even as the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the secrets of God.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, which will lighten things that are hid in darkness: and open the counsels of the hearts. And then shall every man have praise of God.

Now ye are full: now ye are made rich: ye reign as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we might reign with you.
