And having appointed a day for him, more came to him into his lodging, to whom he expounded, solemnly testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them of the things about Jesus, both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from m

For this people's heart was made fat, and they hear heavily with the ears. And they shut their eyes, lest they may perceive with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and should turn, and I would heal the

Paul, a bondman of Jesus Christ, a called apostle separated for the good-news of God

(which he fore-promised through his prophets in the holy scriptures)

through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations on behalf of his name,

Truly, I first express thanks to my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world.

For God is my witness whom I serve in my spirit in the good-news of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,

For I long to see you, so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, in order to establish you,

For I am not ashamed of the good-news of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation to every man who believes, both to the Jew first, and to the Greek.

For the righteousness of God is revealed in it from faith for faith, just as it is written, And the righteous man will live from faith.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all irreverence and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

because what is knowable of God is apparent in them, for God made it known to them.

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, both his eternal power and divinity, for them to be without excuse.

and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image like corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed things, and creeping things.

And for this reason God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, to degrade their bodies among themselves,

Because of this God gave them up to shameful passions, for even their females changed the natural use into what is against nature.

Therefore, O man, thou are without excuse, every man who judges, for in what thou judge the other man, thou condemn thyself, for the man who judges is doing the same things.

For there is no partiality with God.

For as many as have sinned without law will also be destroyed without law, and as many as have sinned in law will be judged by law.

For the hearers of the law are not righteous with God, but the doers of the law will be made righteous.

For when the Gentiles who have no law do by nature the things of the law, these men, not having law, are a law to themselves.

For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, just as it is written.

For circumcision is indeed beneficial if thou perform law, but if thou are a transgressor of law, thy circumcision has become uncircumcision.

For he is not a Jew in what is visible, nor is circumcision in what is visible, in flesh,

For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the assurance of God ineffective?

For if by my lie, the truth of God abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as sinful,

What then? Are we better? Not at all. For we already charged both Jews and Greeks to all be under sin,

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Because from works of law no flesh will be made right before him, for through law is knowledge of sin.

And the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ is for all and upon all those who believe, for there is no distinction.

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,

whom God set forth an expiatory sacrifice through faith in his blood, for proof of his justice, because of the passing over of the sins that have formerly occurred

(in the forbearance of God), for proof of his justice at the present time, for him to be righteous, and who makes the man from Jesus' faith righteous.

For if Abraham was made righteous from works, he has a boast, but not before God.

For what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.

But to the man not being employed, but who believes in him who makes the impious man righteous, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

Is this blessedness therefore upon men of circumcision, or also upon men of uncircumcision? For we say, Faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness of his faith during uncircumcision, for him to be father of all those who believe during uncircumcision (for righteousness to also be imputed to them),

For the promise to Abraham or to his seed, for him to be heir of the world, was not through law, but through a righteousness of faith.

For if those from law are heirs, faith has been made void, and the promise has been made useless.

For the law works wrath. For where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

Because of this it is from faith, so that it is according to grace, in order for the promise to be sure to all the seed, not only to the seed from the law, but also to the seed from the faith of Abraham, who is father of us all

Who, against hope, believed in hope, in order for him to become father of many nations according to that which was spoken, So thy seed will be.

And therefore it was reckoned to him for righteousness.

who was delivered up for our offences, and was raised up for our justification.

through whom also we have access by faith for this grace in which we stand, and we take pride in hope of the glory of God.

For while we were yet weak, in due time Christ died for the impious.

For scarcely for a righteous man will some man die, indeed perhaps for the good man some man would even dare to die.

But God commends his love toward us, that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

For if, while being enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more having been reconciled we will be saved by his life.

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

But in this way also, the gift is not as the transgression. For if by the trespass of the one man the many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift in grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many.

And the gift is not as through one man who sinned, for indeed the judgment from one man was for condemnation, but the gift from many offenses is for righteousness.

For if, by the offense of the one man, death reigned through the one man, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.

So then, as through an offense of one man was for condemnation for all men, so also through a righteousness of one man was for justification of life for all men.

For as through the one man's disobedience the many were led sinful, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be led righteous.

so that, as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign, through righteousness, for eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

For if we have become co-planted in the likeness of his death, then we will also be of the resurrection.

For he who has died has been made righteous away from sin.

For that he died, he died to sin once, but that he lives, he lives to God.

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

Know ye not, that to what ye present yourselves as bondmen for obedience, ye are bondmen to what ye obey, whether of sin for death, or of obedience for righteousness?

But thanks to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but ye obeyed from the heart a model of doctrine for which ye were delivered.

And having been set free from sin, ye were made servile to righteousness

(I speak man-like because of the weakness of your flesh). For as ye presented your body-parts servile to uncleanness, and to lawlessness for lawlessness, so now present your body-parts servile to righteousness for sanctification.

For when ye were bondmen of sin, ye were uninhibited by righteousness.

What fruit therefore did ye have then, of which things ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

But now having been made free from sin, and having become servile to God, ye have your fruit for sanctification, and the end, eternal life.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Or are ye ignorant, brothers (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law has dominion over the man for as long a time as he lives?

For the woman under authority to the living husband has been bound by law, but if the husband should die, she has been released from the law of the husband.

So then, of the living husband, she will be called an adulteress if she becomes to another man, but if the husband should die, she is free from the law, for her not to be an adulteress having become to another man.

Therefore, my brothers, ye also became dead to the law through the body of Christ in order for ye to become to another, to him who was raised from the dead, so that we would bear fruit to God.

For when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins were working in our body-parts (through the law) in order to bear fruit to death.

But now we have been released from the law, having died to what we were held, so as for us to serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of a document.

What will we say then? The law is sin? May it not happen! Yet I did not know sin except through law. For likewise I would not have known lust, if the law did not say, Thou shall not covet.

But sin, having taken opportunity through the commandment, wrought in me every evil desire, for apart from law sin is dead.

And I found to me, the commandment being for life, this is for death.

For sin, having taken opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, having been sold under sin.

For I do not understand what I do, for I do not do this that I want, but what I hate, this I do.

For I know that good does not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, for to will is present in me, but to do the good, I find not.

For I do not do good that I want, instead, wrong that I do not want, this I do.

For I delight in the law of God according to the inner man,

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus freed me from the law of sin and of death.

For the impotence of the law, in that it was weak because of the flesh, God, having sent his own Son in a form of flesh of sin, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,

For those who are according to flesh think about the things of the flesh, but those according to Spirit the things of the Spirit.

For the mentality of the flesh is death, but the mentality of the Spirit is life and peace.

Because the mentality of the flesh is enmity against God, for it is not submissive to the law of God, for neither is it able.

For if ye live according to flesh, ye are going to die, but if in spirit ye kill the deeds of the body, ye will live.

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

For ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye received a spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not comparable to the glory that is going to be revealed for us.

For the eager expectation of the creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God.

For the creation was made subject to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it in hope.

For we know that the whole creation is groaning and travailing together until now.

And not only so, but also ourselves who have the first fruit of the Spirit. And we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

For we were saved to hope. But hope that is seen is not hope. For what is seen, why also hope for that?

But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait through patience.

And likewise also the Spirit helps our weaknesses, for we know not what we would pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.
