that make mention of his son, the which was begotten unto him of the seed of David, as pertaining to the flesh:

inasmuch as when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful: but waxed full of vanities in their imaginations. And their foolish hearts were blinded.

- whom God hath set forth for a mercy seat through faith in his blood, to show the righteousness which before him is of valour, in that he forgiveth the sins that are passed,

which God did suffer to show at this time: the righteousness that is allowed of him, that he might be counted just, and a justifier of him which believeth on Jesus.

For what saith the scripture? "Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness."

To him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of favour: but of duty.

To him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, is his faith counted for righteousness.

And therefore was it reckoned to him for righteousness.

It is not written for him only, that it was reckoned to him for righteousness:

but also for us, to whom it shall be counted for righteousness so we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from death.

Much more then, now seeing we are justified in his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him.

Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them also that sinned not, with like transgression as did Adam: which is the similitude of him that is to come.

Remember ye not, that all we which are baptised in the name of Christ Jesus, are baptised to die with him?

We are buried with him by baptism for to die: That likewise as Christ was raised up from death by the glory of the father: even so we also should walk in a new life.

For if we be graft in death like unto him: even so must we be in the resurrection.

This we must remember, that our old man is crucified with him also, that the body of sin might utterly be destroyed; that henceforth we should not be servants of sin.

Wherefore if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live with him:

remembering that Christ, once raised from death, dieth no more. Death hath no more power over him.

Even so, ye my brethren; ye also are made dead as concerning the law by the body of Christ, that ye should be coupled to another - I mean to him that is risen again from death - that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

Wherefore, if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from death, dwell in you: even he that raised up Christ from death, shall quicken your mortal bodies, because that this spirit dwelleth in you.

Which spared not his own son, but gave him for us all: How shall he not with him give us all things also?

As it is written, "Behold I put in Zion a stumbling stone, and a rock which shall make men fall. And none that believe on him, shall be ashamed."

For if thou shalt knowledge with thy mouth that Jesus is the Lord, and shalt believe with thine heart that God raised him up from death, thou shalt be safe.

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

There is no difference between the Jew and the gentile. For one is Lord of all: which is rich unto all that call on him.

But how shall they call on him, on whom they believed not? How shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? How shall they hear without a preacher?

But what saith the answer of God to him again? "I have reserved unto me seven thousand men which have not bowed their knees to Baal."

For verily the gifts and calling of God are such, that it cannot repent him of them.

Other who hath given unto him first, that he might be recompensed again?

For of him, and through him, and for him are all things. To him be glory forever Amen.

For I say, through the grace that unto me is given, to every man among you: that no man esteem of himself more than it becometh him to esteem - But that he discreetly judge of himself according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Seeing that we have divers gifts according to the grace that is given unto us: if any man have the gift of prophecy, let him have it that it be agreeing unto the faith;

Let him that hath an office, wait on his office;

Let him that teacheth take heed to his doctrine; Let him that exhorteth give attendance to his exhortation; If any man give, let him do it with singleness; Let him that ruleth do it with diligence; If any man show mercy let him do it with cheerfulness.

Therefore, if thine enemy hunger, feed him: if he thirst, give him drink. For in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

Him that is weak in the faith, receive unto you not in disputing and troubling his conscience. ]

Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not. And let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth. For God hath received him.

What art thou that judgest another man's servant? Whether he stand or fall, that pertaineth unto his master. Yea, he shall stand. For God is able to make him stand.

For I know, and am full certified in the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing common of itself: but unto him that judgeth it to be common, to him it is common.

If thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

And again, "Praise the Lord all ye gentiles, and laud him all nations."

And in another place Isaiah saith, "There shall be the root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the gentiles: in him shall the gentiles trust."

To him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel and preaching of Jesus Christ, in uttering of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began,
