For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

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

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

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

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:

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

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

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

For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:

I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.

And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?

Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)

For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:

If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.

For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.

Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.

And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.

For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.

Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.

For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,

For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.

But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.

And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.

That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.

If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

And the way of peace have they not known:

What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

Destruction and misery are in their ways:

But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;

Their feet are swift to shed blood:

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.

As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.

Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.

And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.

Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.

And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.

God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.

When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.

For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.

And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,

For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.

Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
