For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven, against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who detain the truth in unrighteousness.

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature above the creator, who is blessed for ever!

Who knowing the righteous judgment of God, that they who do such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in those that do them.

For we know that the judgment of God is according to truth, against them who do such things.

And thinkest thou this, O man, who judgest them that do such things, and dost the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

Who will render to every one according to his works: To them that by patient continuance in well-doing seek for glory,

tribulation and anguish, Even upon every soul of man who worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also the Gentile:

But glory, honour, and peace shall be to every one who worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile.

For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these not having the law, are a law to themselves;

Who shew the work of the law written upon their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or even defending them,

Yea, the uncircumcision that is by nature, fulfilling the law, shall judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision transgressest the law.

For he is not a Jew, who is one in outward shew, neither is that circumcision which is apparent in the flesh.

But he is a Jew, who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is not God unjust, who taketh vengeance?

Whom God hath set forth as a propitiation, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness by the remission of past sins, through the forbearance of God: For a demonstration,

Is God the God of the Jews only, and not also of the Gentiles? Surely of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one God who will justify the circumcision by faith,

So David also describeth the happiness of the man, to whom God imputeth righteousness without works:

Happy is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith, which he had in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all who believe in uncircumcision, that righteousness may be imputed to them also,

And the father of the circumcision, to them who not only are of the circumcision, but also walk in the footsteps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.

For if they who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise of no effect.

Therefore it is of faith, that it might be of grace, that the promise might be firm to all the seed; not only to that which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, (As it is written,

I have made thee a father of many nations) before God in whom he believed, as quickning the dead, and calling the things that are not, as though they were:

Who against hope believed in hope, that he should be the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

But on ours also, to whom it will be imputed, if we believe on him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead.

Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

By whom also we have been introduced through faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

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

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

For if through one man's offence death reigned by one, they who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness, shall much more reign in life, by one, even Jesus Christ.

God forbid. How shall we who are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are whom ye obey? Whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Thus ye also, my brethren, are dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye might be married to another, even to him who was raised from the dead, that we may bring forth fruit to God.

Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself with my mind serve the law of God, but with my flesh the law of sin.

Therefore there is now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

So then they who are in the flesh cannot please God.

For the creation was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by him who subjected it,

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

But he who searcheth the hearts, knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit: for he maketh intercession for the saints, according to God.

For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated, conformable to the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born among many brethren.

And whom he predestinated, them he also called; and whom he called, them he also justified; and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

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

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is also at the right-hand of God, who likewise maketh intercession for us.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall affliction, or distress, or persecution, or hunger, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Nay, in all these things we more than conquer, through him who hath loved us.

Who are Israelites, whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the worship of God, and the promises:

Whose are the fathers, and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is, over all, God, blessed for ever.

Not as if the word of God had fallen to the ground; for all are not Israel, who are of Israel.

For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

So then he hath mercy on whom he willeth, and whom he willeth, he hardneth.

For who hath resisted his will? Nay, but who art thou, O man, that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, whom he had before prepared for glory?

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

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

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is by the law, The man who doth these things shall live by them.

But the righteousness which is by faith speaketh thus: Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven, (that is, to bring Christ down:)

Or who shall descend into the deep?

But how 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 how shall they preach, unless they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them who bring the good tidings of peace, who bring the glad tidings of good things!

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

God hath not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he pleadeth with God against Israel,

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.

I magnify my office: If by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and save some of them.

For if thou wert cut off from the naturally wild olive-tree, and grafted contrary to nature into a good olive-tree; how much more shall these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive-tree?

For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counsellor?

Who hath first given to him, and it shall be repaid him again?

Communicate to the necessities of the saints, pursue hospitality, Bless them who persecute you;

Render therefore to all their due: tribute to whom tribute is due, custom to whom custom, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour.

For one believeth, that he may eat all things; another who is weak, eateth herbs.

Who art thou that judgest another's servant? To his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be upheld; for God is able to establish him.

But if thy brother is grieved by thy meat, thou no longer walkest charitably. Destroy not him by thy meat, for whom Christ died.

For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure: but it is evil to that man who eateth with offence.

Therefore we who are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

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

I commend unto you Phebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea,

Who for my life, have laid down their own necks; to whom not I alone owe my thanks, but likewise all the churches of the Gentiles.

Salute also the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epenetus, who is the first-fruits of Asia unto Christ.

Salute Mary, who bestowed much labour on us. Salute Andronicus and Junias,

my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are in repute among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

Salute those of the family of Aristobulus. Salute my kinsman Herodion. Salute those of the family of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.

Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, who hath laboured much in the Lord.

Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brethren who are with them.

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them who cause divisions and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned, and avoid them.

I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Now to him who is able to stablish you,

waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who will also confirm you to the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of the Lord Jesus Christ.

God is faithful, by whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

For the doctrine of the cross is indeed to them that perish foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God.

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who is made by God unto us wisdom,

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

and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and manifest the counsels of the hearts. And then shall every one have praise from God.

For who maketh thee to differ from another? And what hast thou which thou hast not received? But if thou hast received it, why dost thou boast, as if thou hadst not received it?

For this cause I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord permit, and will know, not the speech of them who are puffed up, but the power.

And are ye puffed up? Have ye not rather mourned, that he who hath done this deed, might be taken from among you?

as if I were present, judged him who hath so done this, In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit,
