and in like manner the males also, leaving the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust towards one another; males with males working shame, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error which was fit.

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, every one who judgest, for in that in which thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

For when those of the nations, which have no law, practise by nature the things of the law, these, having no law, are a law to themselves;

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither that circumcision which is outward in flesh;

being justified freely by his grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus;

And he received the sign of circumcision as seal of the righteousness of faith which he had being in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all them that believe being in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned to them also;

For if they which are of law be heirs, faith is made vain, and the promise made of no effect.

Therefore it is on the principle of faith, that it might be according to grace, in order to the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of Abraham's faith, who is father of us all,

(according as it is written, I have made thee father of many nations,) before the God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls the things which be not as being;

who against hope believed in hope to his becoming father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be:

by whom we have also access by faith into this favour in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God.

and hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which has been given to us:

But shall not the act of favour be as the offence? For if by the offence of one the many have died, much rather has the grace of God, and the free gift in grace, which is by the one man Jesus Christ, abounded unto the many.

But thanks be to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but have obeyed from the heart the form of teaching into which ye were instructed.

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

For when we were in the flesh the passions of sins, which were by the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit to death;

but now we are clear from the law, having died in that in which we were held, so that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.

And the commandment, which was for life, was found, as to me, itself to be unto death:

Did then that which is good become death to me? Far be the thought. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death to me by that which is good; in order that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

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 I see another law in my members, warring in opposition to the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which exists in my members.

But if the Spirit of him that has raised up Jesus from among the dead dwell in you, he that has raised up Christ from among the dead shall quicken your mortal bodies also on account of his Spirit which dwells in you.

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.

nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Not however as though the word of God had failed; for not all are Israel which are of Israel;

and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory,

Brethren, the delight of my own heart and my supplication which I address to God for them is for salvation.

For Moses lays down in writing the righteousness which is of the law, The man who has practised those things shall live by them.

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:

if by any means I shall provoke to jealousy them which are my flesh, and shall save some from among them.

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your intelligent service.

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.

But having different gifts, according to the grace which has been given to us, whether it be prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

So then let us pursue the things which tend to peace, and things whereby one shall build up another.

It is right not to eat meat, nor drink wine, nor do anything in which thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weak.

I have therefore whereof to boast in Christ Jesus in the things which pertain to God.

For I will not dare to speak anything of the things which Christ has not wrought by me, for the obedience of the nations, by word and deed,

For your obedience has reached to all. I rejoice therefore as it regards you; but I wish you to be wise as to that which is good, and simple as to evil.

Now to him that is able to establish you, according to my glad tidings and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, as to which silence has been kept in the times of the ages,
