In order that, the righteous requirement of the law, might be fulfilled in us - who, not according to flesh, do walk, but according to spirit; For, they who according to flesh have their being, the things of the flesh do prefer, but, they according to the spirit, the things of the spirit; For, what is preferred by the flesh, is death, whereas, what is preferred by the spirit, is life and peace; - Inasmuch as, what is preferred by the flesh, is hostile towards God, for, unto the law of God, it doth not submit itself, neither in fact can it. - They, moreover, who in flesh have their being, cannot please, God.

The Spirit itself, beareth witness together with our spirit that we are children of God; And, if children, heirs also - heirs, indeed, of God, but co-heirs with Christ, - if, at least, we are suffering together, in order that we may also be glorified together. For I reckon that unworthy are the sufferings of the present season to be compared with the glory about to be revealed towards us;

For there is no distinction - of Jew or Greek, - for, the same Lord , is Lord of all, being rich unto all who call upon him; For, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved: -

Thou seest that, his faith, had been working together with his works, and by his works did his faith become full-grown, - And the scripture was fulfilled which saith - And Abraham believed God, And it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and, God's friend, was he called: Ye see that - by works, a man is declared righteous, and not by faith alone. And, in like manner also, Rahab the harlot, Was it not, by works, she was declared righteous, when she gave welcome unto the messengers, and, by another way, urged them forth? Just as, the body, apart from spirit, is dead, so, our faith also, apart from works, is dead.
