For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

But if what I do not will, this I practise, I consent to the law that it is right.

Now then it is no longer I that do it, but the sin that dwells in me.

For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, good does not dwell: for to will is there with me, but to do right I find not.

But if what I do not will, this I practise, it is no longer I that do it, but the sin that dwells in me.

I find then the law upon me who will to practise what is right, that with me evil is there.

There is then now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus.

in order that the righteous requirement of the law should be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to flesh but according to Spirit.

For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit life and peace.

Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God; for neither indeed can it be:

But ye are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed God's Spirit dwell in you; but if any one has not the Spirit of Christ he is not of him:

but if Christ be in you, the body is dead on account of sin, but the Spirit life on account of righteousness.

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

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

And not only that, but even we ourselves, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, we also ourselves groan in ourselves, awaiting adoption, that is the redemption of our body.

For we have been saved in hope; but hope seen is not hope; for what any one sees, why does he also hope?

And in like manner the Spirit joins also its help to our weakness; for we do not know what we should pray for as is fitting, but the Spirit itself makes intercession with groanings which cannot be uttered.

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

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

He who, yea, has not spared his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him grant us all things?

Who shall bring an accusation against God's elect? It is God who justifies:

who is he that condemns? It is Christ who has died, but rather has been also raised up; who is also at the right hand of God; who also intercedes for us.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? tribulation or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

According as it is written, For thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we have been reckoned as sheep for slaughter.

But in all these things we more than conquer through him that has loved us.

nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law-giving, and the service, and the promises;

whose are the fathers; and of whom, as according to flesh, is the Christ, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

Not however as though the word of God had failed; for not all are Israel which are of Israel;

That is, they that are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned as seed.

For this word is of promise, According to this time I will come, and there shall be a son to Sarah.

according as it is written, I have loved Jacob, and I have hated Esau.

What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Far be the thought.

So then it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shews mercy.

us, whom he has also called, not only from amongst the Jews, but also from amongst the nations?

As he says also in Hosea, I will call not-my-people My people; and the-not-beloved Beloved.

But Esaias cries concerning Israel, Should the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved:

for he is bringing the matter to an end, and cutting it short in righteousness; because a cutting short of the matter will the Lord accomplish upon the earth.

And according as Esaias said before, Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and made like even as Gomorrha.

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.

Wherefore? Because it was not on the principle of faith, but as of works. They have stumbled at the stumblingstone,

according as it is written, Behold, I place in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence: and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed.

Brethren, the delight of my own heart and my supplication which I address to God for them is for salvation.

For Christ is the end of law for righteousness to every one that believes.

For Moses lays down in writing the righteousness which is of the law, The man who has practised those things shall live by them.

But the righteousness of faith speaks thus: Do not say in thine heart, Who shall ascend to the heavens? that is, to bring Christ down;

or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring up Christ from among the dead.

But what says it? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:

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

For with the heart is believed to righteousness; and with the mouth confession made to salvation.

For there is no difference of Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich towards all that call upon him.

and how shall they preach unless they have been sent? according as it is written, How beautiful the feet of them that announce glad tidings of peace, of them that announce glad tidings of good things!

So faith then is by a report, but the report by God's word.

But Esaias is very bold, and says, I have been found by those not seeking me; I have become manifest to those not inquiring after me.

But if by grace, no longer of works: since otherwise grace is no more grace.

What is it then? What Israel seeks for, that he has not obtained; but the election has obtained, and the rest have been blinded,

according as it is written, God has given to them a spirit of slumber, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, unto this day.

I say then, Have they stumbled in order that they might fall? Far be the thought: but by their fall there is salvation to the nations to provoke them to jealousy.

For I speak to you, the nations, inasmuch as I am apostle of nations, I glorify my ministry;

boast not against the branches; but if thou boast, it is not thou bearest the root, but the root thee.

And they too, if they abide not in unbelief, shall be grafted in; for God is able again to graft them in.

For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, that ye may not be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the nations be come in;

and so all Israel shall be saved. According as it is written, The deliverer shall come out of Zion; he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

And this is the covenant from me to them, when I shall have taken away their sins.

As regards the glad tidings, they are enemies on your account; but as regards election, beloved on account of the fathers.

For as indeed ye also once have not believed in God, but now have been objects of mercy through the unbelief of these;

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your intelligent service.

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

For I say, through the grace which has been given to me, to every one that is among you, not to have high thoughts above what he should think; but to think so as to be wise, as God has dealt to each a measure of faith.

For, as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office;

But having different gifts, according to the grace which has been given to us, whether it be prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

or service, let us occupy ourselves in service; or he that teaches, in teaching;

as to brotherly love, kindly affectioned towards one another: as to honour, each taking the lead in paying it to the other:

as to diligent zealousness, not slothful; in spirit fervent; serving the Lord.

As regards hope, rejoicing: as regards tribulation, enduring: as regards prayer, persevering:

Have the same respect one for another, not minding high things, but going along with the lowly: be not wise in your own eyes:

if possible, as far as depends on you, living in peace with all men;

not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath; for it is written, Vengeance belongs to me, I will recompense, saith the Lord.

Let every soul be subject to the authorities that are above him. For there is no authority except from God; and those that exist are set up by God.

For rulers are not a terror to a good work, but to an evil one. Dost thou desire then not to be afraid of the authority? practise what is good, and thou shalt have praise from it;

for it is God's minister to thee for good. But if thou practisest evil, fear; for it bears not the sword in vain; for it is God's minister, an avenger for wrath to him that does evil.

Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of conscience.

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

For, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not lust; and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Love works no ill to its neighbour; love therefore is the whole law.

This also, knowing the time, that it is already time that we should be aroused out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

The night is far spent, and the day is near; let us cast away therefore the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

As in the day, let us walk becomingly; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and lasciviousness, not in strife and emulation.

Now him that is weak in the faith receive, not to the determining of questions of reasoning.

One man is assured that he may eat all things; but the weak eats herbs.

Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own master he stands or falls. And he shall be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand.

He that regards the day, regards it to the Lord. And he that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that does not eat, it is to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.

For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.

For both if we should live, it is to the Lord we live; and if we should die, it is to the Lord we die: both if we should live then, and if we should die, we are the Lord's.

For it is written, I live, saith the Lord, that to me shall bow every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God.

So then each of us shall give an account concerning himself to God.

Let us no longer therefore judge one another; but judge ye this rather, not to put a stumbling-block or a fall-trap before his brother.

I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except to him who reckons anything to be unclean, to that man it is unclean.

For if on account of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer according to love. Destroy not him with thy meat for whom Christ has died.

for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
