because what can be known of God is manifest among them; for God has manifested [himself] to them.

But [what] if you are called a Jew and rest on the law, and boast of God,

What then is the preeminence of the Jew? or what the profit of circumcision?

For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief destroy the faith of God?

But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak as a man;??6 by no means;??ince [if he was] how shall God judge the world?

What defense then have we? None at all; for we before asserted that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin,

Where then is the boasting [of the Jew]? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No; but by the law of faith.

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

For what says the Scripture? And Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

being fully persuaded that what he had promised he was able to perform.

WHAT shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that the grace may abound?

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under the grace? By no means.

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

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? By no means. On the contrary I knew not sin except through the law; for I had not known inordinate desire, unless the law had said, You shall not desire inordinately.

For what I do this I approve not; for I do not what I wish, but what I hate, this I do.

But if what I wish not this I do, I consent to the law that it is good;

But if what I wish not this I do, I no longer do it, but sin which dwells in me.

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

For we are saved by hope; but a hope that is seen is not a hope; for why does one hope for what he sees?

but if we hope for what we see not, we wait for it with patience.

And in like manner also the Spirit helps our weakness. For we know not what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit makes intercession for us with groanings unutterable;

and he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because it makes intercession with God for the saints.

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

What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? By no means.

What shall we say then? That nations who did not pursue righteousness attained a righteousness, but the righteousness which is by faith;

For what reason? Because they are not of faith, but as it were of works of the law; for they stumbled at the stone of stumbling,

But what does it say? The word is nigh you, in your mouth and in your mind; that is, the word of the faith which we preach.

God has not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Know you not what the Scripture says in Elijah, how he intercedes with God against Israel?

But what says the response to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.

What then? What Israel seeks, this it did not obtain, but the election obtained; and the rest were hardened,??8 as it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear??o this day.

For if their falling away is the reconciling of the world, what will their recovery be but life from the dead?

and be not conformed to this life, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind, that you may prove what is the will of God which is good and well-pleasing and perfect.

You have faith; have it for yourself before God, Blessed is he that condemns not himself in what he approves;

for I dare not to speak of what Christ has not performed by me for the obedience of the nations, by word and work,
