ROM 1:1  Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an

apostle, separated

         *3972    *1401       *2424  *5547    *2822            

*0652     *0873

 unto the gospel of God,

          *2098      *2316

2  (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy

scriptures,)

    *3739         *4279     *4279         *4396            *0040

*1124

3  Concerning his Son  Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of

the seed of

   *4012           *5207 *2424  *5547       *2962  *3588      

*1096        *4690

 David according to the flesh;

 *1138  *2596             *4561

4  And declared to be the Son  of God  with power, according to

the spirit

       *3724               *5207    *2316      *1411   *2596    

        *4151

 of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

    *0042             *0386                  *3498

5  By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience

to the

      *3739         *2983     *5485      *0651             *5218

 faith among all  nations, for his name:

 *4102  *1722  *3956 *1484             *3686

6  Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

   *1722  *3739        *2532     *2822      *2424  *5547

7  To all  that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints:

Grace to

      *3956            *4516  *0027       *2316 *2822        

*0040    *5485  

 you and peace from God  our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

         *1515       *2316     *3962            *2962 *2424  

*5547

8  First, I thank my God  through Jesus Christ for you all, that

your faith

   *4412     *2168     *2316 *1223    *2424  *5547          

*3956      *5216 *4102

 is spoken of throughout the whole world.

    *2605      *1722           *3650  *2889

9  For God  is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the

gospel of his

       *2316       *3144     *3739   *3000          *4151        

  *2098      

 Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my

prayers;

 *5207      *0089    *0089      *4160 *3417           *3842      

   *4335

10  Making request, if   by any  means now  at   length I might

have a

    *1189   *1189     *1513    *4458 *4458  *2236 *4218 *4218    

 prosperous journey by the will of God  to come unto you.

 *2137       *2137           *2307    *2316    *2064      

11  For I long to see  you, that I may impart unto you some

spiritual gift,

          *1971    *1492                 *3330            *5100

*4152      *5486

 to the end  ye may be established;

        *1519           *4741

12  That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the

mutual faith

                           *4837      *4837                    

*0240   *4102

 both of you and me.

 *5037            

13  Now  I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that

oftentimes I purposed

    *1161   *2309               *0050      *0080           *4178

        *4388

 to come unto you, (but was let  hitherto,) that I might have

some fruit

    *2064                    *2967 *1204                    

*2192 *5100 *2590

 among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

 *1722      *2532  *2532    *1722  *3062  *1484

14  I am   debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians;

both to the

      *1510 *3781   *5037        *1672               *0915      

 *5037    

 wise, and to the unwise.

 *4680             *0453

15  So,  as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to

you that

    *3779    *3588                   *4289     *2097       *2097

 are at   Rome also.

     *1722 *4516 *2532

16  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the

power of God

                 *1870           *2098      *5547                

  *1411     *2316

 unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew  first,

and also to

      *4991         *3956           *4100              *2453

*4412       *2532

 the Greek.

     *1672

17  For therein is the righteousness of God  revealed from faith

to faith:

        *0846           *1343             *2316 *0601          

*4102     *4102

 as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

          *1125         *1342       *2198    *4102

18  For the wrath of God  is revealed from heaven against all  

ungodliness

            *3709     *2316    *0601          *3772   *1909    

*3956 *0763

 and unrighteousness of men, who  hold the truth in

unrighteousness;

     *0093               *0444 *3588 *2722     *0225     *0093

19  Because that which may be known of God  is manifest in them;

for God

    *1360                      *1110     *2316    *5319          

        *2316

 hath shewed it unto them.

      *5319          

20  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the

world are

            *0517                             *2937            

*2889  

 clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made,

even his

 *2529    *2529        *3539                              *4161  

 eternal power and Godhead; so   that they are without excuse:

 *0126    *1411      *2305     *1519               *0379    *0379

21  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as

God, neither

    *1360                    *1097 *2316      *1392              

   *2316 *2228

 were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their

foolish

      *2168          *3154   *3154          *1261                

    *0801

 heart was darkened.

 *2588      *4654

22  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

    *5335                        *4680       *3471   *3471

23  And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God  into an

image made like

        *0236        *1391         *0862          *2316 *1722    

*1504       *3667

 to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and

creeping

    *5349        *0444        *4071       *5074       *5074      

  *2062

 things.

24  Wherefore God  also gave them up to uncleanness through the

lusts of

    *1352      *2316 *2532 *3860            *0167        *1722  

     *1939  

 their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between

themselves:

           *2588       *0818                *4983   *1722    

*1438

25  Who  changed the truth of God  into a lie, and worshipped

and served the

    *3748 *3337        *0225     *2316 *1722   *5579     *4573  

        *3000  

 creature more than the Creator, who  is blessed for ever. Amen.

 *2937     *3844 *3844     *2936     *3739    *2128        *0165

 *0281

26  For this cause God  gave them up unto vile affections: for

even their

        *5124 *1223  *2316 *3860              *0819 *3806        

    *5037

 women did change the natural use  into that which is against

nature:

 *2338      *3337       *5446    *5540 *1519               *3844

   *5449

27  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use  of the

woman, burned

        *3668     *2532     *0730 *0863        *5446    *5540    

    *2338   *1572

 in their lust one  toward another; men  with men  working that

which is

          *3715 *0240 *1519   *0240     *0730      *0730 *2716  

 unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their

error which

 *0808          *0618         *1438            *0489            

   *4106  *3739

 was meet.

     *1163

28  And even as they did not like to retain God  in their

knowledge, God

        *2531                 *1381    *2192   *2316          

*1922       *2316

 gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do   those things which

are not

 *3860      *3860      *0096      *3563     *4160 *3588          

 convenient;

 *2520

29  Being filled with all  unrighteousness, fornication,

wickedness,

          *4137        *3956 *0093             *4202        

*4189

 covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate,

deceit,

 *4124          *2549           *3324    *5355  *5408    *2054  

 *1388

 malignity; whisperers,

 *2550       *5588

30  Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters,

inventors of

    *2637        *2319      *2319 *5197        *5244   *0213    

 *2182      

 evil things, disobedient to parents,

 *2556         *0545           *1118

31  Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural

affection,

    *0801    *0801           *0802              *0794            

*0794

 implacable, unmerciful:

 *0786        *0415

32  Who  knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit

such things are

    *3748 *1921        *1345        *2316                 *4238  

 *5108        

 worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in

them that do

 *0514      *2288       *3440        *0846           *4909      

           *4238

 them.

2:1  Therefore thou art  inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art  

that judgest:

     *1352           *1488 *0379           *0444 *3588          

*1488      *2919

 for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for

thou that

     *3757         *2919    *2087          *2632       *4572    

 judgest doest the same things.

 *2919    *4238      *0846

2  But we are sure that the judgment of God  is according to

truth against

              *1492          *2917        *2316    *2596        

*0225  *1909

 them which commit such things.

            *4238   *5108

3  And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do  

such things,

       *3049          *5124    *0444      *2919              

*4238 *5108

 and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

     *4160      *0846                  *1628       *2917        

*2316

4  Or   despisest thou the riches of his goodness and

forbearance and

   *2228 *2706               *4149          *5544         *0463  

 longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God  leadeth

thee to

 *3115               *0050             *5543        *2316 *0071  

 repentance?

 *3341

5  But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up

unto thyself

       *2596      *4643         *0279       *2588  *2343        

      *4572

 wrath against the day  of wrath and revelation of the righteous

judgment of

 *3709  *1722        *2250    *3709      *0602              

*1341      *1341    

 God;

 *2316

6  Who  will render to every man according to his deeds:

   *3739      *0591      *1538      *2596             *2041

7  To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for

glory and

                  *5281    *5281           *0018 *2041  *2212    

 *1391  

 honour and immortality, eternal life:

 *5092       *0861         *0126    *2222

8  But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth,

 but obey

                          *2052                    *0544    

*0225       *3982

 unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

 *0093             *2372            *3709

9  Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man  that doeth

evil, of the

   *2347            *4730          *3956  *5590    *0444        

   *2556    

 Jew  first, and also of the Gentile;

 *2453 *4412       *2532        *1672

10  But glory, honour, and peace, to every man  that worketh

good, to the

        *1391   *5092        *1515      *3956  *3956      *2038  

  *0018    

 Jew  first, and also to the Gentile:

 *2453 *4412       *2532        *1672

11  For there is no   respect of persons with God.

                 *3756 *4382       *4382         *2316

12  For as many as have sinned without law  shall also perish

without law:

           *3745         *0264   *0460    *0460       *2532

*0622   *0460    *0460

 and as many as have sinned in the law  shall be judged by the

law;

        *3745         *0264          *3551          *2919        

  *3551

13  (For not the hearers of the law  are just before God, but

the doers of

                 *0202           *3551     *1342 *3844   *2316  

      *4163  

 the law  shall be justified.

     *3551          *1344

14  For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do   by

nature the things

        *3752     *1484      *3588  *2192         *3551 *4160    

*5449      

 contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law  

unto themselves:

                  *3551 *3778   *2192           *3551      

*3551      *1438

15  Which shew the work of the law  written in their hearts,

their

    *3748  *1731     *2041        *3551 *1123             *2588  

 conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean

while accusing

 *4893       *4828 *4828    *4828               *3053        

*3342       *2722

 or   else excusing one  another;)

 *2228 *2532 *0626     *0240 *0240

16  In the day  when God  shall judge the secrets of men  by

Jesus Christ

           *2250 *3753 *2316       *2919      *2927       *0444  

  *2424  *5547

 according to my gospel.

 *2596            *2098

17  Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and

makest thy

    *2396             *2028     *2453     *1879           *3551  

   *2744  

 boast of God,

 *2744     *2316

18  And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more

excellent,

        *1097        *2307      *1381                            

   *1308

 being instructed out of the law;

       *2727                  *3551

19  And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind,

 a light of

            *3982                *4572          *3595        

*5185     *5457  

 them which are in darkness,

                   *4655

20  An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast

the form of

       *3810              *0878       *1320       *3516        

*2192     *3446

 knowledge and of the truth in the law.

 *1108                 *0225         *3551

21  Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not

thyself? thou

         *3767      *3588  *1321     *2087     *1321            

 *4572    

 that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

      *2784                       *2813             *2813

22  Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou

commit

              *3004                    *3431   *3431            

   *3431

 adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

 *3431                *0948      *1497             *2416   *2416

23  Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the

law

              *2744       *2744         *3551 *1223    *3847    

    *3551

 dishonourest thou God?

 *0818              *2316

24  For the name of God  is blasphemed among the Gentiles

through you, as it

            *3686    *2316    *0987       *1722      *1484    

*1223            

 is written.

    *1125

25  For circumcision verily profiteth, if   thou keep the law:

but if   thou

        *4061         *3303   *5623       *1437      *4238    

*3551     *1437

 be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made

uncircumcision.

      *3848           *3551     *4061            *1096 *0203

26  Therefore if   the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of

the law,

    *3767      *1437     *0203           *5442     *1345        

        *3551

 shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

               *0203              *3049        *4061

27  And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it

fulfil the law,

                  *0203                       *5449          

*5055       *3551

 judge thee, who  by the letter and circumcision dost transgress

the law?

 *2919        *3588        *1121       *4061              *3848  

         *3551

28  For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that

                    *2453              *5318       *3761      

 circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

 *4061                   *5318           *4561

29  But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is

that of the

                *2453              *2927          *4061          

 heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is

not of men,

 *2588          *4151                   *1121    *3739  *1868    

         *0444

 but of God.

        *2316

3:1  What advantage then hath the Jew? or   what profit is there

of

     *5101 *4053      *3767          *2453 *2228 *5101 *5622    

 circumcision?

 *4061

2  Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were

committed the

   *4183 *3956  *5158 *4412     *3754                        

*4100      

 oracles of God.

 *3051       *2316

3  For what if   some did not believe? shall their unbelief make

the faith

       *5101 *1487 *5100         *0569                 *0570    

*2673     *4102

 of God  without effect?

    *2316 *2673    *2673

4  God  forbid: yea, let God  be true, but every man  a liar; as

it is

   *1096 *1096    *1161     *2316    *0557      *3956  *0444  

*5583        

 written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and

mightest

 *1125                           *1344             *3056        

 overcome when thou art judged.

 *3528     *3588          *2919

5  But if   our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God,

 what shall

       *1487     *0093            *4921        *1343            

*2316 *5101

 we say? Is God  unrighteous who  taketh vengeance? (I speak as

a man)

    *2046    *2316 *0094        *3588 *2018   *3709          

*3004       *0444

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

   *1096 *1096             *4459       *2316 *2919      *2889

7  For if   the truth of God  hath more abounded through my lie  

unto his

       *1487     *0225     *2316           *4052     *1722      

*5582      

 glory; why  yet  am I also judged as a sinner?

 *1391   *5101 *2089      *2504 *2919        *0268

8  And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some

affirm that

                             *0987         *0987            

*5100 *5346  

 we say,) Let us do   evil, that good may come? whose damnation

is just.

    *3004         *4160 *2556       *0018     *2064  *3739  

*2917         *1738

9  What then? are we better than they? No,  in no   wise: for we

have before

   *5101 *3767         *4284              *3756    *3843 *3843  

           *4256

 proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all  under sin;

 *4256   *5037 *2453     *1672                    *3956 *5259  

*0266

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

             *1125              *3756 *1342               *1520

11  There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh

after God.

             *3756      *4920                    *3756      

*1567    *1567  *2316

12  They are all  gone out of the way, they are together become

unprofitable;

             *3956 *1578                          *0260    

*0889   *0889

 there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

          *3756      *4160  *5544          *1520

13  Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they

have used

          *2995         *0455 *5028                  *1100      

       *1387

 deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

 *1387        *2447      *0785    *5259        *5491

14  Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

    *3739  *4750     *1073    *0685        *4088

15  Their feet are swift to shed blood:

          *4228     *3691     *1632 *0129

16  Destruction and misery are in their ways:

    *4938            *5004                *3598

17  And the way  of peace have they not known:

            *3598    *1515                *1097

18  There is no   fear of God  before their eyes.

             *3756 *5401    *2316 *0561         *3788

19  Now  we know that what things soever the law  saith, it

saith to them

    *1161    *1492      *3745        *1437       *3551 *3004    

 *2980    

 who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all

 the world

         *1722      *3551      *3956  *4750         *5420        

 *3956     *2889

 may become guilty before God.

     *1096   *5267          *2316

20  Therefore by the deeds of the law  there shall no   flesh be

justified

    *1360             *2041         *3551             *3956

*4561     *1344

 in his sight: for by the law  is the knowledge of sin.

        *1799              *3551        *1922         *0266

21  But now  the righteousness of God  without the law  is

manifested, being

        *3568     *1343             *2316 *5565        *3551    

*5319        

 witnessed by the law  and the prophets;

 *3140             *3551         *4396

22  Even the righteousness of God  which is by faith of Jesus

Christ unto

    *1161     *1343             *2316             *4102    

*2424  *5547  

 all  and upon all  them that believe: for there is no  

difference:

 *3956          *3956           *4100                  *3756

*1293

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

        *3956      *0264        *5302 *5302         *1391    

*2316

24  Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption

that is in

          *1344      *1432          *5485  *1223        *0629    

 Christ Jesus:

 *5547   *2424

25  Whom God  hath set  forth to be a propitiation through faith

in his

    *3739 *2316      *4388 *4388          *2435         *1223    

*4102    

 blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins

that are past,

 *0129      *1732        *1343                  *3929        

*0265          *4266

 through the forbearance of God;

 *1722        *0463           *2316

26  To declare, I say, at   this time his righteousness: that he

might be

       *1732            *1722 *3568 *2540     *1343              

 just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

 *1342          *1344                   *4102         *2424

27  Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of

works? Nay: but

    *4226     *2746     *3767        *1576         *4169 *3551  

 *2041   *3780

 by the law  of faith.

        *3551    *4102

28  Therefore we conclude that a man  is justified by faith

without the

    *3767         *3049            *0444    *1344         *4102  

*5565    

 deeds of the law.

 *2041         *3551

29  Is he the God  of the Jews only? is he not also of the

Gentiles? Yes, of

              *2316        *2453 *3440            *2532        

*1484      *3483

 the Gentiles also:

     *1484     *2532

30  Seeing it is one  God, which shall justify the circumcision

by faith,

    *1897         *1520 *2316 *3739        *1344        *4061    

        *4102

 and uncircumcision through faith.

     *0203           *1223    *4102

31  Do we then make void the law  through faith? God  forbid:

yea, we

          *3767 *2673 *2673     *3551 *1223    *4102   *1096

*1096    *0235

 establish the law.

 *2476          *3551

4:1  What shall we say  then that Abraham our father, as

pertaining to the

     *5101          *2046 *3767      *0011        *3962          

 flesh, hath found?

 *4561        *2147

2  For if   Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to

glory; but

       *1487 *0011         *1344         *2041      *2192        

    *2745  

 not before God.

     *4314   *2316

3  For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it

was counted

       *5101 *3004      *1124       *0011    *4100     *2316    

       *3049

 unto him for righteousness.

              *1343

4  Now  to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace,

but of debt.

   *1161             *2038           *3408       *3049        

*5485          *3783

5  But to him that worketh not, but believeth on   him that

justifieth the

                   *2038             *4100      *1909          

*1344      

 ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

 *0765         *4102     *3049        *1343

6  Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man,

unto whom God

   *2509    *1138  *2532 *3004           *3108              

*0444      *3739 *2316

 imputeth righteousness without works,

 *3049     *1343          *5565    *2041

7  Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and

whose sins

           *3107             *3739  *0458           *0863        

  *3739  *0266

 are covered.

     *1943

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

   *3107           *0435    *3739     *2962          *3049  

*0266

9  Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or  

upon the

          *3778 *3108        *3767          *4061              

*2228      

 uncircumcision also? for we say  that faith was reckoned to

Abraham for

 *0203           *2532         *3004      *4102      *3049      

 *0011    

 righteousness.

 *1343

10  How  was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or  

in

    *4459        *3767 *3049                     *4061          

*2228

 uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

 *0203                   *4061                 *0203

11  And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the

righteousness of

           *2983         *4592    *4061            *4973        

*1343          

 the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might

be the father

     *4102  *3588                   *0203                        

        *3962

 of all  them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that

    *3956           *4100     *1223               *0203        

 righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

 *1343                   *3049              *2532

12  And the father of circumcision to them who  are not of the

circumcision

            *3962      *4061                 *3588              

 *4061

 only, but who  also walk in the steps of that faith of our

father Abraham,

 *3440      *3588 *2532 *4748        *2487          *4102        

 *3962   *0011

 which he had being yet uncircumcised.

                        *0203

13  For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world,

was not to

            *1860                           *2818        *2889  

 Abraham, or   to his seed, through the law, but through the

righteousness

 *0011     *2228        *4690  *1223        *3551     *1223      

  *1343

 of faith.

    *4102

14  For if   they which are of the law  be heirs, faith is made

void, and

        *1487                       *3551    *2818   *4102    

*2758 *2758  

 the promise made of none effect:

     *1860    *2673    *2673 *2673

15  Because the law  worketh wrath: for where no   law  is,

there is no

    *1063        *3551 *2716    *3709       *3757  *3756 *3551  

           *3761

 transgression.

 *3847

16  Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the

end  the

    *5124               *4102                       *5485        

  *1519

 promise might be sure to all  the seed; not to that only which

is of the

 *1860             *0949    *3956     *4690              *3440  

 law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who  is

the father

 *3551             *2532                 *4102     *0011    

*3739        *3962

 of us all,

       *3956

17  (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,

) before

              *1125            *5087        *3962      *4183

*1484      *2713

 him whom he believed, even God, who  quickeneth the dead, and

calleth those

     *3739    *4100           *2316 *3588 *2227           *3498  

    *2564    *3588

 things which be not as though they were.

18  Who  against hope believed in hope, that he might become the

father of

    *3739 *3844    *1680 *4100        *1680                *1096

      *3962  

 many nations, according to that which was spoken, So   shall

thy seed be.

 *4183 *1484     *2596                        *2046    *3779    

      *4690

19  And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own  body

now  dead,

                  *0770    *4102      *2657               *1438

*4983 *2236 *3499

 when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the

deadness of Sarah's

             *4225     *1541    *1541  *1541                

*3500        *4564

 womb:

 *3388

20  He staggered not at   the promise of God  through unbelief;

but was

       *1252          *1519     *1860       *2316         *0570  

 strong in faith, giving glory to God;

 *1743      *4102          *1391     *2316

21  And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was

able also

              *4135  *4135            *3739        *1861        

    *1415 *2532

 to perform.

    *4160

22  And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

        *1352             *3049               *1343

23  Now  it was not written for his sake alone, that it was

imputed to him;

    *1161            *1125                 *3440              

*3049      

24  But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe

on   him

               *2532     *3739             *3049           *4100

   *1909

 that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

      *1453      *2424      *2962          *3498

25  Who  was delivered for our offences, and was raised again

for our

    *3739     *3860              *3900              *1453  

*1453      

 justification.

 *1347

5:1  Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God  

through our

     *3767            *1344         *4102      *2192 *1515      

*2316 *1223    

 Lord Jesus Christ:

 *2962 *2424  *5547

2  By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein

we stand,

      *3739 *2532    *2192 *4318      *4102  *1519 *5026 *5485  

*3757       *2476

 and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

     *2744       *1680        *1391     *2316

3  And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing

that

           *3440            *2744     *2347         *2532  *1492

 tribulation worketh patience;

 *2347        *2716    *5281

4  And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

       *5281      *1382            *1382        *1680

5  And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God  is shed

abroad in

       *1680 *2617       *2617     *3754        *0026    *2316  

 *1632 *1632  

 our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

     *2588          *0040 *4151  *3588     *1325      

6  For when we were yet  without strength, in due time Christ

died for the

                    *2089 *0772    *0772             *2540 *5547

  *0599    

 ungodly.

 *0765

7  For scarcely for a righteous man will one  die: yet  

peradventure for a

       *3433           *1342               *5100 *0599 *1063

*5029            

 good man some would even dare to die.

 *0018     *5100            *5111    *0599

8  But God  commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we

were yet

       *2316 *4921           *0026 *1519                        

     *2089

 sinners, Christ died for us.

 *0268     *5547   *0599    

9  Much more then, being now  justified by his blood, we shall

be saved from

   *4183 *3123 *3767        *3568 *1344             *0129        

       *4982  

 wrath through him.

 *3709  *1223    

10  For if,  when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God  by

the death

        *1477              *2190             *2644          

*2316        *2288

 of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by

his life.

        *5207 *4183 *3123        *2644                    *4982  

       *2222

11  And not only so, but we also joy  in God  through our Lord

Jesus Christ,

            *3440            *2532 *2744    *2316 *1223        

*2962 *2424  *5547

 by whom we have now  received the atonement.

    *3739         *3568 *2983         *2643

12  Wherefore, as by one  man  sin  entered into the world, and

death by sin;

    *5124             *1520 *0444 *0266 *1525    *1519     *2889

      *2288     *0266

 and so   death passed upon all  men, for that all  have sinned:

     *3779 *2288  *1330        *3956 *0444          *3956      

*0264

13  (For until the law  sin  was in the world: but sin  is not

imputed when

         *0891      *3551 *0266            *2889       *0266    

   *1677    

 there is no   law.

          *3361 *3551

14  Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over

them that had

    *0235         *2288  *0936         *0076    *3475   *2532

*1909          

 not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who  

is the figure

     *0264   *1909      *3667          *0076   *3847          

*3739        *5179

 of him that was to come.

                    *3195

15  But not as the offence, so   also is the free gift. For if  

through the

                   *3900     *3779 *2532        *5486 *5486      

*1477        

 offence of one  many be dead, much more the grace of God, and

the gift by

 *3900       *1520 *4183    *0599  *4183 *3123     *5485    

*2316         *1431

 grace, which is by one  man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto

many.

 *5485   *3588        *1520      *2424  *5547         *4052      

    *4183

16  And not as it was by one  that sinned, so is the gift: for

the judgment

                         *1520      *0264              *1434    

     *2917

 was by one  to condemnation, but the free gift is of many

offences unto

        *1520    *2631                  *5486 *5486       *4183

*3900    

 justification.

 *1345

17  For if   by one  man's offence death reigned by one; much

more they

        *1477    *1520       *3900    *2288  *0936       *1520

*4183 *3123

 which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of

righteousness shall

       *2983    *4050         *5485             *1431    *1343  

 reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

 *0936     *2222    *1520 *2424  *5547

18  Therefore as by the offence of one  judgment came upon all  

men  to

    *3767                *3900       *1520                    

*3956 *0444

 condemnation; even so   by the righteousness of one  the free

gift came

 *2631          *2532 *3779        *1345             *1520      

 upon all  men  unto justification of life.

      *3956 *0444      *1347             *2222

19  For as by one  man's disobedience many were made sinners, so

  by the

              *1520 *0444  *3876         *4183      *2525 *0268  

   *3779    

 obedience of one  shall many be made righteous.

 *5218         *1520       *4183    *2525 *1342

20  Moreover the law  entered, that the offence might abound.

But where sin

    *1161         *3551 *3922              *3900          *4121  

      *3757  *0266

 abounded, grace did much more abound:

 *4121      *5485      *5248      *5248

21  That as sin  hath reigned unto death, even so   might grace

reign

            *0266      *0936         *2288   *2532 *3779      

*5485  *0936

 through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our

Lord.

 *1223    *1343               *0166    *2222    *2424  *5547    

  *2962

6:1  What shall we say  then? Shall we continue in sin, that

grace may abound?

     *5101          *2046 *3767           *1961        *0266    

 *5485      *4121

2  God  forbid. How  shall we, that are dead to sin, live any  

longer

   *1096 *1096    *4459                    *0599    *0266 *2198

*2089 *2089

 therein?

 *0846

3  Know ye not, that so   many of us as were baptized into Jesus

Christ were

   *0050              *3745 *3745               *0907     *1519

*2424  *5547  

 baptized into his death?

 *0907     *1519     *2288

4  Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that

like as

   *3767             *4916               *0908    *1519 *2288    

    *5618

 Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father,

even so   we

 *5547       *1453               *3498        *1391        

*3962         *3779

 also should walk in newness of life.

 *2532        *4043    *2538       *2222

5  For if   we have been planted together in the likeness of his

death, we

       *1477              *4854    *4854            *3667        

    *2288  

 shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

          *2532                        *0386

6  Knowing this, that our old  man  is crucified with him, that

the body of

   *1097    *5124           *3820 *0444    *4957                

        *4983

 sin  might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve

sin.

 *0266          *2673            *3371                     *1398

 *0266

7  For he that is dead is freed from sin.

                  *0599    *1344       *0266

8  Now  if   we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall

also live with

   *1161 *1477       *0599      *5547       *4100                

  *2532 *4800

 him:

9  Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no  

more; death

   *1492         *5547         *1453            *3498 *0599  

*3765 *2089  *2288

 hath no   more dominion over him.

      *3765 *3765 *2961          

10  For in that he died, he died unto sin  once: but in that he

liveth, he

                   *0599     *0599      *0266 *2178              

   *2198    

 liveth unto God.

 *2198        *2316

11  Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto

sin, but alive

    *3779     *3049      *2532 *1438             *3498 *3303    

   *0266     *2198

 unto God  through Jesus Christ our Lord.

      *2316 *1722    *2424  *5547       *2962

12  Let not sin  therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye

should obey it

            *0266 *3767      *0936     *5216 *2349   *4983      

          *5219

 in the lusts thereof.

        *1939  *0846

13  Neither yield ye your members as instruments of

unrighteousness unto sin:

    *3366    *3936     *5216 *3196       *3696           *0093  

              *0266

 but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the

dead, and

     *3936  *1438            *2316                   *2198      

    *3498  

 your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

 *5216 *3196       *3696           *1343               *2316

14  For sin  shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not

under the law,

        *0266                *2961                              

*5259      *3551

 but under grace.

     *5259  *5485

15  What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law,

but under

    *5101 *3767           *0264 *3754               *5259      

*3551     *5259

 grace? God  forbid.

 *5485   *1096 *1096

16  Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to

obey, his

    *1492                 *3739    *3936  *1438       *1401      

  *5218  

 servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin  unto death, or

  of

 *1401               *3739    *5219  *2273       *0266      

*2288   *2228

 obedience unto righteousness?

 *5218           *1343

17  But God  be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but

ye have

        *2316    *5485                      *1401        *0266  

 obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered

you.

 *5219            *2588       *5179    *1322     *3739      

*3860      

18  Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of

righteousness.

          *1161 *1659 *1659      *0266    *1402       *1402      

  *1343

19  I speak after the manner of men  because of the infirmity of

your flesh:

      *3004            *0442      *0442 *1223           *0769    

     *5216 *4561

 for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and

to iniquity

                *3936    *5216 *3196    *1401        *0167      

        *0458

 unto iniquity; even so   now  yield your members servants to

righteousness

      *0458      *3779 *3779 *3568 *3936  *5216 *3196    *1401  

     *1343

 unto holiness.

      *0038

20  For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from

righteousness.

        *3753             *1401        *0266         *1658      

*1343

21  What fruit had  ye then in those things whereof ye are now  

ashamed? for

    *5101 *2590  *2192    *3767                 *3739          

*3568 *1870    

 the end  of those things is death.

     *5056    *1565            *2288

22  But now  being made free from sin, and become servants to

God, ye have

        *3570       *1659 *1659      *0266     *1402   *1402    

   *2316    *2192

 your fruit unto holiness, and the end  everlasting life.

 *5216 *2590       *0038              *5056 *0166        *2222

23  For the wages of sin  is death; but the gift of God  is

eternal life

            *3800     *0266    *2288           *5486    *2316    

*0166    *2222

 through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 *1722    *2424  *5547       *2962

7:1  Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the

law,) how that

     *0050         *0080             *2980               *1097  

  *3551      

 the law  hath dominion over a man  as long as he liveth?

     *3551      *2961            *0444    *5550       *2198

2  For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law  to

her husband

           *1135        *5220    *5220       *1210         *3551

       *0435

 so long as he liveth; but if   the husband be dead, she is

loosed from the

               *2198        *1437     *0435       *0599        

*2673        

 law  of her husband.

 *3551        *0435

3  So   then if,  while her husband liveth, she be married to

another man,

   *0686 *0686 *1437           *0435    *2198           *1096    

   *2087    *0435

 she shall be called an adulteress: but if   her husband be dead,

 she is

              *5537      *3428            *1437     *0435      

*0599      

 free from that law; so that she is no   adulteress, though she

be married

 *1658           *3551                *3361 *3428                

      *1096

 to another man.

    *2087    *0435

4  Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law  

by the body

   *5620          *0080         *2532     *2289   *2289        

*3551        *4983

 of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him

who is raised

    *5547                      *1096       *2087                

       *1453

 from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

          *3498                 *2592        *2592       *2316

5  For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which

were by the law,

       *3753                *4561       *3804       *0266  *3588

             *3551

 did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

     *1754        *3196       *2592        *2592       *2288

6  But now  we are delivered from the law, that being dead

wherein we were

       *3570        *2673               *3551            *0599

*3757      

 held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the

oldness of

 *2722                 *1398     *2538       *4151              

    *3821    

 the letter.

     *1121

7  What shall we say  then? Is the law  sin? God  forbid. Nay, I

had not

   *5101          *2046 *3767         *3551 *0266 *1096 *1096    

*0235      

 known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the

law  had

 *1097  *0266            *3551               *1492  *1939  *1508

      *3551

 said, Thou shalt not covet.

 *3004                 *1937

8  But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me

all  manner of

       *0266 *2983   *0874            *1785         *2716        

  *3956        

 concupiscence. For without the law  sin  was dead.

 *1939               *5565        *3551 *0266     *3498

9  For I was alive without the law  once: but when the

commandment came, sin

             *2198  *5565        *3551 *4218               *1785

       *2064  *0266

 revived, and I died.

 *0326           *0599

10  And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to

be unto

            *1785         *3588                  *2222    *2147  

 death.

 *2288

11  For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me,

and by it slew

        *0266 *2983   *0874            *1785         *1818      

            *0615

 me.

12  Wherefore the law  is holy, and the commandment holy, and

just, and good.

    *5620          *3551    *0040          *1785        *0040    

  *1342      *0018

13  Was then that which is good made death unto me? God  forbid.

But sin,

        *3767               *0018 *1096 *2288           *1096

*1096        *0266

 that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is

good; that

               *5316   *0266 *2716    *2288                      

   *0018  

 sin  by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

 *0266        *1785              *1096   *5236      *0268

14  For we know that the law  is spiritual: but I am   carnal,

sold under

           *1492          *3551    *4152             *1510 *4559

   *4097 *5259

 sin.

 *0266

15  For that which I do   I allow not: for what I would, that do

  I not;

             *3739    *2716   *1097           *3739   *2309      

  *4238  

 but what I hate, that do   I.

     *3739   *3404       *4160

16  If   then I do   that which I would not, I consent unto the

law  that it

    *1487 *1161   *4160      *3739    *2309         *4852        

     *3551      

 is good.

    *2570

17  Now  then it is no   more I that do   it, but sin  that

dwelleth in me.

    *3570 *1161       *3765 *2089        *2716         *0266    

 *3611        

18  For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no  

good thing:

          *1492                            *4561    *3611    

*3756 *0018

 for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which

is good I

        *2309    *3873                        *2716              

    *2570

 find not.

 *2147

19  For the good that I would I do   not: but the evil which I

would not,

            *0018        *2309    *4160              *2556 *3739

   *2309  

 that I do.

        *4238

20  Now  if   I do   that I would not, it is no   more I that do

  it, but

    *1161 *1487   *4160        *2309             *3765 *2089    

   *2716    

 sin  that dwelleth in me.

 *0266      *3611        

21  I find then a law, that, when I would do   good, evil is

present with me.

      *2147 *0686   *3551              *2309  *4160 *2570  *2556

   *3873        

22  For I delight in the law  of God  after the inward man:

          *4913           *3551    *2316 *2596      *2080   *0444

23  But I see  another law  in my members, warring against the

law  of my

          *0991 *2087    *3551       *3196     *0497    *0497    

    *3551    

 mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law  of sin  which

is in my

 *3563      *0163             *0163             *3551    *0266

*3588        

 members.

 *3196

24  O wretched man  that I am! who  shall deliver me from the

body of this

      *5005     *0444            *5101       *4506              

 *4983    *5127

 death?

 *2288

25  I thank God  through Jesus Christ our Lord. So   then with

the mind I

      *2168  *2316 *1223    *2424  *5547       *2962  *0686

*0686          *3563

 myself serve the law  of God; but with the flesh the law  of

sin.

        *1398      *3551    *2316              *4561      *3551  

  *0266

8:1  There is therefore now  no   condemnation to them which are

in Christ

              *0686      *3568 *3762 *2631                      

       *5547

 Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

 *2424       *4043     *2596      *4561       *2596      *4151

2  For the law  of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made

me free from

           *3551        *4151      *2222    *5547   *2424      

*1659    *1659

 the law  of sin  and death.

     *3551    *0266     *2288

3  For what the law  could not do, in that it was weak through

the flesh,

       *3588     *3551 *0102                         *0770 *1223

       *4561

 God  sending his own  Son  in the likeness of sinful flesh, and

for sin,

 *2316 *3992        *1438 *5207        *3667        *0266  

*4561           *0266

 condemned sin  in the flesh:

 *2632      *0266        *4561

4  That the righteousness of the law  might be fulfilled in us,

who walk not

            *1345                 *3551          *4137          

      *4043

 after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

 *2596      *4561       *2596      *4151

5  For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the

flesh; but

                     *2596      *4561     *5426                  

 *4561  

 they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

               *2596      *4151                     *4151

6  For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually

minded is life

             *4561     *5427      *2288             *4151        

*5427      *2222

 and peace.

     *1515

7  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not

subject to

   *1360        *4561   *5427    *2189   *1519    *2316          

     *5293    

 the law  of God, neither indeed can  be.

     *3551    *2316 *3761    *1063   *1410

8  So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

      *1161                      *4561  *1410   *0700   *2316

9  But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if   so be

that the

                         *4561              *4151    *1512      

 Spirit of God  dwell in you. Now  if   any  man have not the

Spirit of

 *4151      *2316 *3611          *1161 *1487 *5100     *2192    

    *4151  

 Christ, he is none of his.

 *5547          *3756    

10  And if   Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin;

but the

        *1487 *5547                  *4983    *3498 *1223      

*0266    

 Spirit is life because of righteousness.

 *4151      *2222 *1223       *1343

11  But if   the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the

dead dwell in

        *1437     *4151               *1453      *2424          

*3498 *3611  

 you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken

your mortal

              *1453      *5547            *3498       *2532

*2227    *5216 *2349

 bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

 *4983          *4151        *1774        

12  Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to

live after the

    *3767       *0080             *3781                *4561    

 *2198 *2596  

 flesh.

 *4561

13  For if   ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if   ye

through the

        *1437    *2198 *2596      *4561            *0599    

*1487            

 Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

 *4151      *2289        *4234         *4983           *2198

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

sons of God.

           *3745        *0071        *4151      *2316            

  *5207    *2316

15  For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear;

 but ye

                    *2983         *4151      *1397    *3825    

*5401      

 have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba,

Father.

      *2983         *4151      *5206      *3739       *2896

*0005  *3962

16  The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we

are the

        *4151   *0846   *4828    *4828             *4151        

 children of God:

 *5043        *2316

17  And if   children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs

with Christ;

        *1487 *5043      *2535 *2818   *2818     *2316     *4789

            *5547

 if   so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also

glorified together.

 *1512               *4841                            *2532

*4888      *4888

18  For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are

not worthy to

          *3049            *3804          *3588 *3568    *2540  

      *0514  

 be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

                      *1391                 *0601        

19  For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the

            *0603    *0603               *2937     *0553        

 manifestation of the sons of God.

 *0602                 *5207    *2316

20  For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly,

but by

            *2937         *5293 *5293       *3153        *1635  

 reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

 *1223                   *5293                  *1680

21  Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the

bondage of

    *3754        *2937     *0846   *2532          *1659          

     *1397    

 corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

 *5356       *1519     *1391     *1657           *5043        

*2316

22  For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth

in pain

           *1492          *3956  *2937     *4959         *4944  

 together until now.

 *4944     *0891  *3568

23  And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the

firstfruits of the

            *3440                     *2532        *2192    

*0536          

 Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for

the adoption,

 *4151    *2532              *4727  *1722   *1438       *0553    

        *5206

 to wit, the redemption of our body.

             *0629              *4983

24  For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope:

for what a

               *4982     *1680      *1680         *0991        

*1680          

 man  seeth, why  doth he yet hope for?

 *5100 *0991   *5101             *1679

25  But if   we hope for that we see  not, then do we with

patience wait for

        *1487    *1679             *0991                      

*5281     *0553

 it.

26  Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we

know not what

    *5615         *4151   *2532 *4878        *0769              

 *1492     *5101

 we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh

intercession

           *4336           *1163           *4151   *0846   *5241

  *5241

 for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

             *4726            *0215      *0215

27  And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of

the Spirit,

                *2045          *2588   *1492    *5101        

*5427        *4151

 because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the

will of God.

 *3754       *1793   *1793                 *0040   *2596        

            *2316

28  And we know that all  things work together for good to them

that love

           *1492      *3956        *4903 *4903         *0018    

         *0025

 God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

 *2316                     *2822   *2596             *4286

29  For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be

conformed to

        *3739        *4267         *2532     *4309              

*4832      

 the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many

brethren.

     *1504         *5207                      *4416      *1722  

*4183 *0080

30  Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and

whom he

    *1161     *3739        *4309                  *2532 *2564    

    *3739

 called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he

also

 *2564            *2532 *1344           *3739    *1344          

    *2532

 glorified.

 *1392

31  What shall we then say  to these things? If   God  be for us,

 who  can

    *5101          *3767 *2046    *5023          *1487 *2316    

       *5101

 be against us?

    *2596    

32  He that spared not his own  Son, but delivered him up for us

all, how

            *5339           *2398 *5207     *3860                

    *3956 *4459

 shall he not with him also freely give us all  things?

                       *2532        *5483    *3956

33  Who  shall lay  any thing to the charge of God's elect? It

is God  that

    *5101       *1458                  *2596      *2316  *1588  

      *2316

 justifieth.

 *1344

34  Who  is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea  

rather, that is

    *5101            *2632              *5547        *0599  

*1161 *3123        

 risen again, who  is even at   the right hand of God, who  also

maketh

 *1453  *1453   *3739    *2532 *1722     *1188          *2316

*3739 *2532 *1793

 intercession for us.

 *1793            

35  Who  shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall

tribulation, or

    *5101       *5562                 *0026    *5547          

*2347         *2228

 distress, or   persecution, or   famine, or   nakedness, or  

peril, or

 *4730      *2228 *1375         *2228 *3042    *2228 *1132      

*2228 *2794   *2228

 sword?

 *3162

36  As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all  the day  

long; we are

             *1125             *1752        *2289   *3650    

*2250          

 accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

 *3049         *4263          *4967

37  Nay, in all  these things we are more than conquerors

through him that

    *0235    *3956 *5125                *5245 *5245 *5245      

*1223        

 loved us.

 *0025  

38  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor  life, nor  

angels, nor

             *3982            *3777    *2288   *3777 *2222  

*3777 *0032    *3777

 principalities, nor  powers, nor  things present, nor  things

to come,

 *0746            *3777 *1411    *3777        *1764     *3777    

       *3195

39  Nor  height, nor  depth, nor  any  other creature, shall be

able to

    *3777 *5313    *3777 *0899   *3777 *5100 *2087  *2937        

       *1410

 separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our

Lord.

 *5562                 *0026    *2316 *3588        *5547   *2424

     *2962

9:1  I say  the truth in Christ, I lie  not, my conscience also

bearing me

       *3004     *0225     *5547      *5574         *4893      

*4828 *4828    

 witness in the Holy Ghost,

 *4828           *0040 *4151

2  That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.

          *2076 *3173  *3077          *0088      *3601        

*2588

3  For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my

brethren,

               *2172      *0846        *0331          *5547      

    *0080

 my kinsmen according to the flesh:

    *4773    *2596             *4561

4  Who  are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the

glory, and

   *3748     *2475           *3739                *5206          

    *1391  

 the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of

God, and the

     *1242               *3548          *3548         *2999      

 promises;

 *1860

5  Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh

Christ came,

   *3739          *3962            *3739    *2596          

*4561  *5547  

 who  is over all, God  blessed for ever. Amen.

 *3588    *1909 *3956 *2316 *2128        *0165  *0281

6  Not as though the word of God  hath taken none effect. For

they are not

          *3754       *3056    *2316            *1601 *1601      

 all  Israel, which are of Israel:

 *3956 *2474    *3588         *2474

7  Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all  

children:

   *3761     *3754                 *4690    *0011              

*3956 *5043

 but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

         *2464            *4690    *2564

8  That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are

not the

                               *5043            *4561   *5023    

 children of God: but the children of the promise are counted

for the seed.

 *5043        *2316         *5043            *1860        *3049  

          *4690

9  For this is the word of promise, At   this time will I come,

and Sarah

       *3778        *3056    *1860     *2596 *5126 *2540        

*2064      *4564

 shall have a son.

       *2071   *5207

10  And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by

one, even by

            *3440                *4479    *2532     *2192        

 *1520      

 our father Isaac;

     *3962   *2464

11  (For the children being not yet  born, neither having done

any  good or

                                *3380 *1080  *3366          

*4238 *5100 *0018 *2228

 evil, that the purpose of God  according to election might

stand, not of

 *2556           *4286       *2316 *2596         *1589          

*3306      

 works, but of him that calleth;)

 *2041                   *2564

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

           *4483               *3187        *1398      *1640

13  As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

             *1125     *2384         *0025       *2269        

*3404

14  What shall we say  then? Is there unrighteousness with God?

God  forbid.

    *5101          *2046 *3767           *0093                

*2316 *1096 *1096

15  For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have

mercy, and

           *3004     *3475               *1653     *3739        

    *1653  

 I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

             *3627          *3739             *3627

16  So   then it is not of him that willeth, nor  of him that

runneth, but

    *0686 *0686                       *2309     *3761            

 *5143    

 of God  that sheweth mercy.

    *2316      *1653    *1653

17  For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same

purpose have I

            *1124      *3004       *5328              *5124

*0846              

 raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my

name might

 *1825                         *1731    *1411                    

   *3686

 be declared throughout all  the earth.

    *1229     *1722       *3956     *1093

18  Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom

he will he

    *3767              *1653     *3739    *2309                

*3739    *2309

 hardeneth.

 *4645

19  Thou wilt say  then unto me, Why  doth he yet  find fault?

For who  hath

              *2046 *3767          *5101         *2089      

*3201       *5101

 resisted his will?

 *0436         *1013

20  Nay  but, O man, who  art  thou that repliest against God?

Shall the

    *3304        *0444 *5101 *1488           *0470     *0470    

*2316      

 thing formed say  to him that formed it, Why  hast thou made me

thus?

 *4110  *4110   *2046             *4110       *5101          

*4160    *3779

21  Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to

make one

    *2192         *2763   *1849           *4081         *0846

*5445    *4160

 vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

 *4632        *5092        *3739         *0819

22  What if   God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his

power known,

         *1487 *2316 *2309       *1731     *3709          *1107  

   *1415  *1107

 endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to

destruction:

 *5342         *4183 *3115              *4632       *3709  *2675

     *0684

23  And that he might make known the riches of his glory on  

the vessels of

                      *1107 *1107      *4149          *1391  

*1909     *4632    

 mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

 *1656   *3739         *4282  *4282          *1391
