Now, however, no longer am, I, working it out, but the, sin, that dwelleth in me:

I know, in fact, that there dwelleth not in me, that is, in my flesh, anything good; for, the wishing, lieth near me, but, the working out of what is right, not!

For not, the good that I wish, I do, but, the evil that I do not wish, the same I practise.

Now, if what I wish not, the same, I do, no longer am, I, working it out, but the, sin, that dwelleth in me.

So this is my experience of the Law: I want to do what is right, but wrong is all I can manage;

But I behold a diverse law in my members, warring against the law of my mind and taking me captive in the law of sin which existeth in my members: -

Butthanks be unto God! - Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Hence, then, - I myself, with the mind, indeed, am in servitude unto a law of God; but; with the flesh; unto a law of sin.

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

But the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

In order that, the righteous requirement of the law, might be fulfilled in us - who, not according to flesh, do walk, but according to spirit;

For, they who according to flesh have their being, the things of the flesh do prefer, but, they according to the spirit, the things of the spirit;

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

But those being in depravity are not able to please God.

But, ye, have not your being in flesh, but in spirit, - if at least, God's Spirit, dwelleth in you; and, if anyone hath not Christ's Spirit, the same, is not his; -

But, if Christ is in you, the body, indeed, is dead by reason of sin, whereas, the spirit, is life by reason of righteousness;

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

So, brothers, we are under obligations, but not to our lower nature to live by the standard set by it;

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

For ye have not received a spirit of servitude, leading back into fear, but ye have received a spirit of sonship, whereby we are exclaiming - Abba! Oh Father!

And, if children, heirs also - heirs, indeed, of God, but co-heirs with Christ, - if, at least, we are suffering together, in order that we may also be glorified together.

For I consider [from the standpoint of faith] that the sufferings of the present life are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us!

For, unto vanity, hath creation been made subject - not by choice, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope

And, not only so, but, we ourselves, also, who have the first-fruit of the Spirit - weeven ourselves, within our own selves do sigh, - sonship ardently awaiting - the redeeming of our body; -

For, by our hope, have we been saved, - but, hope beheld, is not hope, for, what one beholdeth, why doth he hope for?

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

In the selfsame way moreover, even the Spirit, helpeth together in our weakness, - for, what we should pray for as we ought, we know not, but, the Spirit itself, maketh intercession with sighings unutterable,

But he who searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for saints according to God.

But we do know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to purpose.

but whom he predispos'd, he calls: and whom he has call'd, he justifies: and whom he has justified, he glorifies.

He, at least, who his own Son did not spare, but in behalf of us all delivered him up, how shall he not also, with him, all things upon us in favour bestow?

Who is the one who condemns?
Christ Jesus is the One who died,
but even more, has been raised;
He also is at the right hand of God
and intercedes for us.

but in all these we more than conquer, through him who loved us;

But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.

Neither, because they are seed of Abraham, are all children, - but, In Isaac, shall there be called unto thee a seed.

That is - not the children of the flesh, the same are children of God; but, the children of the promise, are reckoned as a seed.

And, not only so, but, when, Rebekah also, was with child, of one - Isaac our father, -

They, in fact, not being yet born, nor having practised anything good or bad, - in order that the purpose of God by way of election might stand, - not by works but by him that was calling,

not from works but from the One who calls—she was told: The older will serve the younger.

Even as it is written - Jacob, have I loved, but, Esau, have I hated.

No, indeed; the solution is found in His words to Moses, "Wherever I show mercy it shall be nothing but mercy, and wherever I show compassion it shall be simply compassion."

Hence, then, it is nor of him that wisheth nor of him that runneth, but of the mercy-shewing God.

Well then, he hath mercy on whom he will, but whom he will he hardeneth.

But you will object, why does he then find fault? for "who can resist his will?"

Nay 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?

But what if God, while intending to show forth his wrath, and to make known his power, yet endured, with much long-suffering, vessels of wrath, fitted to destruction?

Whom he also called, even us, not only from among Jews, but also from among the nations, what then?

But Isaiah cries out concerning Israel:

Though the number of Israel’s sons
is like the sand of the sea,
only the remnant will be saved;

What then shall we say? That they of the nations, who did not follow after righteousness, have attained righteousness, but the righteousness that is on the principle of faith.

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

Wherefore? Because, not by faith but as by works, have they sought it : they have stumbled at the stone of stumbling,

as the Scripture says: "See, I put on Zion a stone for causing people to stumble, a rock to trip them on, but no one who puts his faith in it will ever be put to shame."

For I bear them witness that they have, a zeal for God, - but not according to correct knowledge;

But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

Or, "Who shall descend into the deep?" That is nothing else but to fetch up Christ from death.

But what saith it? Near thee, is the declaration, In thy mouth and in thy heart, - that is, the declaration of the faith, which we proclaim: -

But there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord is over them all, because He is infinitely kind to all who call upon Him.

But how can they call on Him they have not believed in? And how can they believe without hearing about Him? And how can 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, not all, have become obedient unto the glad tidings; - for, Isaiah, saith - Lord! who believed what we have heard?

but all do not obey the gospel. for Esaias saith, "Lord, who hath believed our report?"

But I say: Have they not heard? Yea indeed, - into all the earth, hath gone forth their sound, and, unto the ends of the inhabited world, their declarations.

But I say: Hath, Israel, not come to know? First, Moses, saith - I, will provoke you to jealousy on account of a no-nation, on account of an undiscerning nation, will I make you very angry.

But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.

But to Israel he says: All day long I have spread out My hands to a disobedient and defiant people.

But what saith unto him the response? I have left for myself seven thousand men, who, indeed, have not bowed a knee unto Baal.

And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

What then? Israel did not find what it was looking for, but the elect did find it. The rest were hardened,

as it has been written [Isa. 19:10], "God gave them a spirit of numbness [i.e., they developed a spiritual insensitivity to God and His word]. [He gave them] eyes to see with [but they would not look], and ears to hear with [but they did not listen]. And they still have this spirit."

I say then - Did they stumble in order that they might fall? Far be it! But, by their fall, salvation hath come unto the nations, to the end of provoking them to jealousy.

But if their fall be the world's wealth, and their loss the wealth of the nations, how much rather their fulness?

But I speak to you that are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;

For, if, the casting away of them, hath become the reconciling of a world, what shall, the taking of them in addition, be, but life from among the dead?

But if the first fruit was holy, the lump is also: if the root was holy, the branches are also.

But if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive, wast grafted in among them, and didst become partaker with them of the root of the fatness of the olive tree;

Be not boasting over the branches! Howbeit, if thou boast, it is not, thou, that bearest the root, but the root, thee!

But you [Gentiles] will then say, "The branches were broken off so that we could be grafted in."

Well: by their want of faith, they have been broken out, - and, thou, by thy faith, dost stand! - Regard not lofty things, but be afraid;

Be not high-minded, but fear. For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed left he also spare not thee.

See, then, the kindness and the severity of God: upon them who have fallen, severity, - but, upon thee, the kindness of God, if thou abide still in the kindness, - otherwise, thou also, shalt he cut out;

But these also, if they may not abide in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.

As touching the joyful-message, indeed, they are enemies for your sake, but, as touching the election, beloved for their father's sake;

As you once disobeyed God, but now have received mercy through their disobedience,

And be not configuring yourselves unto this age, but be transforming yourselves by the renewing of your mind, to the end ye may be proving what is the thing willed by God - the good and acceptable and perfect.

For I say, through the favour which hath been given me, unto every one who is among you, - not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but so to think as to think soberly - as, unto each one, God hath dealt a measure of faith.

for as there are many members in one and the same body, but all the members have not the same office:

so we who are many, make all but one body in Christ, and every member subservient to one another.

but having different gifts according to the grace given to us: if [it is] prophecy, according to the proportion of [his] faith;

Your love must be true. You must always turn in horror from what is wrong, but keep on holding to what is right.

in business be not slothful, but of an active mind, making the best use of every incident.

Bless them which persecute you: bless, but curse not.

bless them, but curse not. rejoice with those that do rejoice, and weep with those that weep.

Be in harmony with one another. Do not have a high opinion of yourselves, but be in agreement with common people. Do not give yourselves an air of wisdom.

Render no man evil for evil. mind such things as are approved not only by God, but by men.

Do not give punishment for wrongs done to you, dear brothers, but give way to the wrath of God; for it is said in the holy Writings, Punishment is mine, I will give reward, says the Lord.

But if one who has hate for you is in need of food or of drink, give it to him, for in so doing you will put coals of fire on his head.

Do not let evil overcome you, but overcome evil by good.

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

For rulers are not a cause of fear to the good work but to the evil. If you would have no fear of the authority, do good and you will have praise;

For he is the servant of God to you for good. But if you do evil, have fear; for the sword is not in his hand for nothing: he is God's servant, making God's punishment come on the evil-doer.

So put yourselves under the authority, not for fear of wrath, but because you have the knowledge of what is right.
