And not only so, but we also joy in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

For until the law, sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

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.

But not as the offense, so also is the free gift. For if through the offense of one many are dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded to many.

And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift. For the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offenses to justification.

Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death?

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.

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts of it.

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? By no means.

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants in obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law) that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?

But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead by which we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? By no means. No, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

For that which I do, I allow not: for what I would, that I do not; but what I hate, that I do.

If then I do that which I would not, I consent to the law that it is good.

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good, I find not.

For the good that I would, I do not; but the evil which I would not, that I do.

Now if I do that which I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

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

That the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. Now if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father.

For I reckon, that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

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

And not only they, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

For we are saved by hope: But hope that is seen, is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

But if we hope for what we see not, then with patience we wait for it.

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

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?

I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me testimony in the Holy Spirit,

Not as though the word of God hath taken no effect. For they are not all Israel, who are descendants from Israel?

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

And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac,

(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.

Hath not the potter power over the clay of the same lump to make one vessel to honor, and another to dishonor?

Even us whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles.

As he saith also in Hosea, I will call them My people, who were not my people; and her Beloved, who was not beloved.

And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called, The children of the living God.

What shall we say then? That the Gentiles who followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith:

But Israel, who followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

Why? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling-stone;

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.

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

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

But the righteousness which is by faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down.)

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

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 they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

But I say, Did not Israel know? First, Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.

But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found by them that sought me not; I was made manifest to them that asked not for me.

God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

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.

What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.

(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) to this day.

Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always.

Boast not against the branches. But if thou boastest, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:

For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be ingrafted: for God is able to ingraft them again.

For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, (lest ye should be wise in your own conceits) that blindness in part hath happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles shall be come in.

For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief;

Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

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

For through the grace given to me, I say, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

Bless them who persecute you; bless, and curse not.

Be of the same mind one towards another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place to wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

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

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power; do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same:

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.

Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there is any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the lusts of flesh.

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.

He that regardeth the day, regardeth it to the Lord: and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling-block, or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

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

Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

For the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

For the sake of food, destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offense.

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

And he that doubteth is damned if he eateth, because he eateth not from faith: for whatever is not from faith is sin.

We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.

For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,

And so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:

But as it is written, They shall see to whom he was not spoken of: and they that have not heard shall understand.

That I may be delivered from them in Judea who do not believe; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem, may be acceptable to the saints;

That ye receive her in the Lord, as it becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succorer of many, and of myself also.
