For this reason God gave them up to the evil desires of their hearts, working shame in their bodies with one another:

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, then, a man may get righteousness by faith without the works of the law.

Is this blessing, then, for the circumcision only, or in the same way for those who have not circumcision? for we say that the faith of Abraham was put to his account as righteousness.

For this reason it is of faith, so that it may be through grace; and so that the word of God may be certain to all the seed; not only to that which is of the law, but to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

Now, it was not because of him only that this was said,

Through whom, in the same way, we have been able by faith to come to this grace in which we now are; and let us have joy in hope of the glory of God.

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:

For this cause do not let sin be ruling in your body which is under the power of death, so that you give way to its desires;

How unhappy am I! who will make me free from the body of this death?

For this cause those who are in Christ Jesus will not be judged as sinners.

I am of the opinion that there is no comparison between the pain of this present time and the glory which we will see in the future.

For this is the word of God's undertaking, At this time will I come, and Sarah will have a son.

For the holy Writings say to Pharaoh, For this same purpose did I put you on high, so that I might make my power seen in you, and that there might be knowledge of my name through all the earth.

In the same way, there are at this present time some who are marked out by the selection of grace.

As it was said in the holy Writings, God gave them a spirit of sleep, eyes which might not see, and ears which have no hearing, to this day.

For it is my desire, brothers, that this secret may be clear to you, so that you may not have pride in your knowledge, that Israel has been made hard in part, till all the Gentiles have come in;

And this is my agreement with them, when I will take away their sins.

For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him.

And let not your behaviour be like that of this world, but be changed and made new in mind, so that by experience you may have knowledge of the good and pleasing and complete purpose of God.

And this, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not put to death, Do not take what is another's, Do not have desire for what is another's, and if there is any other order, it is covered by this word, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

This man puts one day before another: to that man they are the same. Let every man be certain in his mind.

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.

Then let us not be judges of one another any longer: but keep this in mind, that no man is to make it hard for his brother, or give him cause for doubting.

I am conscious of this, and am certain in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself; but for the man in whose opinion it is unclean, for him it is unclean.

And so that the Gentiles might give glory to God for his mercy; as it is said, For this reason I will give praise to you among the Gentiles, and I will make a song to your name.

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

For all have knowledge of how you do what you are ordered. For this reason I have joy in you, but it is my desire that you may be wise in what is good, and without knowledge of evil.

I, Tertius, who have done the writing of this letter, send love in the Lord.
