What then? are we better? No, in no wise: for we have before charged both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin:

Where then is boasting? It has been excluded. By what law? of works? Nay, but by law of faith;

What shall we say then that Abraham our father according to flesh has found?

for what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

and being fully persuaded that what he has promised he is able also to do;

What then shall we say? Should we continue in sin that grace may abound?

What then? should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Far be the thought.

What fruit therefore had ye then in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of them is death.

What shall we say then? is the law sin? Far be the thought. But I had not known sin, unless by law: for I had not had conscience also of lust unless the law had said, Thou shalt not lust;

For that which I do, I do not own: for not what I will, this I do; but what I hate, this I practise.

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

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.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, having sent his own Son, in likeness of flesh of sin, and for sin, has condemned sin in the flesh,

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

But if what we see not we hope, we expect in patience.

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?

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

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

God has not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture says in the history of Elias, how he pleads with God against Israel?

But what says the divine answer to him? I have left to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed knee to Baal.

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

For if their casting away be the world's reconciliation, what their reception but life from among the dead?

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 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;

Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he who does not judge himself in what he allows.

Let each one of us please his neighbour with a view to what is good, to edification.
