For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Because that when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he may be just, and the justifier of him who believeth in Jesus.

For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.

Now to him that worketh, is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations) before him whom he believed, even God, who reviveth the dead, and calleth those things which are not, as though they were.

And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

But for us also, to whom it will be imputed, if we believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Now if we are dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

Knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit to God.

But if the Spirit of him that raised Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised Christ from the dead will also revive your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

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

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope:

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

But in all these things we are more than conquerors, through him that loved us.

(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth)

So then, it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.

No, but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling-stone, and rock of offense: and whoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

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

For the scripture saith, whoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all, is rich to all that call upon him,

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

But what saith the answer of God to him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.

Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?

For from him, and by him, and to him are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness.

Therefore if thy enemy hungereth, feed him; if he thirsteth, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou doest that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

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

Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth: and he shall be held up: for God is able to make him stand.

I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean by itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

But if thy brother is grieved with thy food, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy food, for whom Christ died.

And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.

And again Isaiah saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.

Now to him that is able to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which hath been kept secret since the world began,

That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who from God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

If any man defileth the temple of God, him will God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,

But to the rest I speak, not the Lord, if any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

And the woman who hath a husband that believeth not, and if he is pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

But if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases; but God hath called us to peace.

But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all churches.

Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not become circumcised.

But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself uncomely towards his virgin, if she hath passed the flower of her age, and need so requireth, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

But if any man loveth God, the same is known by him.

Yet to us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

For if any man shall see thee, who hast knowledge, sit eating in the idol's temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.

Doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man hath long hair, it is a shame to him?

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

And if any man hungereth, let him eat at home; that ye come not together to condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

For he that speaketh in an unknown language, speaketh not to men, but to God: for no man understandeth him; yet in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

Therefore, if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian to me.

Wherefore, let him that speaketh in an unknown language, pray that he may interpret.

But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

If any man thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.

But if any man is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted who did put all things under him.

And when all things shall be subdued to him, then shall the Son also himself be subject to him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed its own body.

Upon the first day of the week, let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no collections when I come.

Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come to me: for I look for him with the brethren.

As concerning our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come to you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.

If any man loveth not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema, Maran-atha.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me, and Silvanus, and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, to the glory of God by us.

So that on the other hand, ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such one should be swallowed up with excessive sorrow.

Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love towards him.

Wherefore we labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted by him.

And that he died for all, that they who live should not henceforth live to themselves, but to him who died for them, and rose again.

Wherefore henceforth we know no man according to the flesh: though indeed we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now henceforth we know him no more.

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

We then, as co-workers with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

For if I have boasted any thing to him concerning you, I am not ashamed; but as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.

And his tender affection is more abundant towards you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.

And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or by constraint: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trusteth to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.

But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?

For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God towards you.
