First of all, I give praise to my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because news of your faith has gone into all the world.

And by them the glory of the eternal God was changed and made into the image of man who is not eternal, and of birds and beasts and things which go on the earth.

Because by them the true word of God was changed into that which is false, and they gave worship and honour to the thing which is made, and not to him who made it, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it.

For this reason God gave them up to evil passions, and their women were changing the natural use into one which is unnatural:

For this reason, as through one man sin came into the world, and death because of sin, and so death came to all men, because all have done evil:

Or are you without the knowledge that all we who had baptism into Christ Jesus, had baptism into his death?

We have been placed with him among the dead through baptism into death: so that as Christ came again from the dead by the glory of the Father, we, in the same way, might be living in new life.

For when we were in the flesh, the evil passions which came into being through the law were working in our bodies to give the fruit of death.

For we are conscious that the law is of the spirit; but I am of the flesh, given into the power of sin.

And in the same way the Spirit is a help to our feeble hearts: for we are not able to make prayer to God in the right way; but the Spirit puts our desires into words which are not in our power to say;

Because those of whom he had knowledge before they came into existence, were marked out by him to be made like his Son, so that he might be the first among a band of brothers:

Before the children had come into existence, or had done anything good or bad, in order that God's purpose and his selection might be effected, not by works, but by him whose purpose it is,

Or, Who will go down into the deep? (that is, to make Christ come again from the dead:)

But I say, Did not the word come to their ears? Yes, certainly: Their sound has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

Giving to the needs of the saints, ready to take people into your houses.

And for this purpose Christ went into death and came back again, that he might be the Lord of the dead and of the living.

And if because of food your brother is troubled, then you are no longer going on in the way of love. Do not let your food be destruction to him for whom Christ went into death.

So when I have done this, and have given them this fruit of love, I will go on by you into Spain.
