RO-11  Paul a servant of Jesus Christ called to be an apostle

separated unto the gospel of God .

RO-12  Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy

scriptures .

RO-13  Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord which was made

of the seed of David according to the flesh .

RO-14  And declared to be the Son of God with power according to

the spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the dead .

RO-15  By whom we have received grace and apostleship for

obedience to the faith among all nations for his name .

RO-16  Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ .

RO-17  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 .

RO-18  First I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all

that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world .

RO-19  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 .

RO-110  Making request if by any means now at length I might

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

RO-111  For I long to see you that I may impart unto you some

spiritual gift to the end ye may be established .

RO-112  That is that I may be comforted together with you by the

mutual faith both of you and me .

RO-113  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 .

RO-114  I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the Barbarians

both to the wise and to the unwise .

RO-115  So as much as in me is I am ready to preach the gospel

to you that are at Rome also .

RO-116  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 .

RO-117  For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from

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

RO-118  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all

ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in

unrighteousness .

RO-119  Because that which may be known of God is manifest in

them for God hath showed it unto them .

RO-120  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 .

RO-121  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 .

RO-122  Professing themselves to be wise they became fools .

RO-123  And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an

image made like to corruptible man and to birds and fourfooted

beasts and creeping things .

RO-124  Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through

the lusts of their own hearts to dishonour their own bodies

between themselves .

RO-125  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 .

RO-126  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 .

RO-127  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

recompense of their error which was meet .

RO-128  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 .

RO-129  Being filled with all unrighteousness fornication

wickedness covetousness maliciousness full of envy murder debate

deceit malignity whisperers .

RO-130  Backbiters haters of God despiteful proud boasters

inventors of evil things disobedient to parents .

RO-131  Without understanding covenantbreakers without natural

affection implacable unmerciful .

RO-132  Who knowing the judgment of God that they which commit

such things are worthy of death not only do the same but have

pleasure in them that do them .

* RO-21  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 .

RO-22  But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to

truth against them which commit such things .

RO-23  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 .

RO-24  Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and

forbearance and longsuffering not knowing that the goodness of

God leadeth thee to repentance .

RO-25  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 .

RO-26  Who will render to every man according to his deeds .

RO-27  To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for

glory and honour and immortality eternal life .

RO-28  But unto them that are contentious and do not obey the

truth but obey unrighteousness indignation and wrath .

RO-29  Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that doeth

evil of the Jew first and also of the Gentile .

RO-210  But glory honour and peace to every man that worketh

good to the Jew first and also to the Gentile .

RO-211  For there is no respect of persons with God .

RO-212  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 .

RO-213  For not the hearers of the law are just before God but

the doers of the law shall be justified .

RO-214  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 .

RO-215  Which show the work of the law written in their hearts

their conscience also bearing witness and their thoughts the

mean while accusing or else excusing one another .

RO-216  In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by

Jesus Christ according to my gospel .

RO-217  Behold thou art called a Jew and restest in the law and

makest thy boast of God .

RO-218  And knowest his will and approvest the things that are

more excellent being instructed out of the law .

RO-219  And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the

blind a light of them which are in darkness .

RO-220  An instructor of the foolish a teacher of babes which

hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law .

RO-221  Thou therefore which teachest another teachest thou not

thyself thou that preachest a man should not steal dost thou

steal .

RO-222  Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery dost

thou commit adultery thou that abhorrest idols dost thou commit

sacrilege .

RO-223  Thou that makest thy boast of the law through breaking

the law dishonourest thou God .

RO-224  For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles

through you as it is written .

RO-225  For circumcision verily profiteth if thou keep the law

but if thou be a breaker of the law thy circumcision is made

uncircumcision .

RO-226  Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness

of the law shall not his uncircumcision be counted for

circumcision .

RO-227  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 .

RO-228  For he is not a Jew which is one outwardly neither is

that circumcision which is outward in the flesh .

RO-229  But he is a Jew which is one inwardly and circumcision

is that of the heart in the spirit and not in the letter whose

praise is not of men but of God .

* RO-31  What advantage then hath the Jew or what profit is

there of circumcision .

RO-32  Much every way chiefly because that unto them were

committed the oracles of God .

RO-33  For what if some did not believe shall their unbelief

make the faith of God without effect .

RO-34  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 .

RO-35  But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of

God what shall we say Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance I

speak as a man .

RO-36  God forbid for then how shall God judge the world .

RO-37  For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie

unto his glory why yet am I also judged as a sinner .

RO-38  And not rather as we be slanderously reported and as some

affirm that we say Let us do evil that good may come whose

damnation is just .

RO-39  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 .

RO-310  As it is written There is none righteous no not one .

RO-311  There is none that understandeth there is none that

seeketh after God .

RO-312  They are all gone out of the way they are together

become unprofitable there is none that doeth good no not one .

RO-313  Their throat is an open sepulchre with their tongues

they have used deceit the poison of asps is under their lips .

RO-314  Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness .

RO-315  Their feet are swift to shed blood .

RO-316  Destruction and misery are in their ways .

RO-317  And the way of peace have they not known .

RO-318  There is no fear of God before their eyes .

RO-319  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 .

RO-320  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

.

RO-321  But now the righteousness of God without the law is

manifested being witnessed by the law and the prophets .

RO-322  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 .

RO-323  For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God .

RO-324  Being justified freely by his grace through the

redemption that is in Christ Jesus .

RO-325  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 .

RO-326  To declare I say at this time his righteousness that he

might be just and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus .

RO-327  Where is boasting then It is excluded By what law of

works Nay but by the law of faith .

RO-328  Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith

without the deeds of the law .

RO-329  Is he the God of the Jews only is he not also of the

Gentiles Yes of the Gentiles also .

RO-330  Seeing it is one God which shall justify the

circumcision by faith and uncircumcision through faith .

RO-331  Do we then make void the law through faith God forbid

yea we establish the law .

* RO-41  What shall we say then that Abraham our father as

pertaining to the flesh hath found .

RO-42  For if Abraham were justified by works he hath whereof to

glory but not before God .

RO-43  For what saith the scripture Abraham believed God and it

was counted unto him for righteousness .

RO-44  Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of

grace but of debt .

RO-45  But to him that worketh not but believeth on him that

justifieth the ungodly his faith is counted for righteousness .

RO-46  Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man

unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works .

RO-47  Saying Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven and

whose sins are covered .

RO-48  Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin .

RO-49  Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only

or upon the uncircumcision also for we say that faith was

reckoned to Abraham for righteousness .

RO-410  How was it then reckoned when he was in circumcision or

in uncircumcision Not in circumcision but in uncircumcision .

RO-411  And he received the sign of circumcision a seal of the

righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised

that he might be the father of all them that believe though they

be not circumcised that righteousness might be imputed unto them

also .

RO-412  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

.

RO-413  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 .

RO-414  For if they which are of the law be heirs faith is made

void and the promise made of none effect .

RO-415  Because the law worketh wrath for where no law is there

is no transgression .

RO-416  Therefore it is of faith that it might be by grace to

the end the promise might be sure to all the seed not to that

only which is of the law but to that also which is of the faith

of Abraham who is the father of us all .

RO-417  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 .

RO-418  Who against hope believed in hope that he might become

the father of many nations according to that which was spoken So

shall thy seed be .

RO-419  And being not weak in faith he considered not his own

body now dead when he was about an hundred years old neither yet

the deadness of Sarah's womb .

RO-420  He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief

but was strong in faith giving glory to God .

RO-421  And being fully persuaded that what he had promised he

was able also to perform .

RO-422  And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness .

RO-423  Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was

imputed to him .

RO-424  But for us also to whom it shall be imputed if we

believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead .

RO-425  Who was delivered for our offences and was raised again

for our justification .

* RO-51  Therefore being justified by faith we have peace with

God through our Lord Jesus Christ .

RO-52  By whom also we have access by faith into this grace

wherein we stand and rejoice in hope of the glory of God .

RO-53  And not only so but we glory in tribulations also knowing

that tribulation worketh patience .

RO-54  And patience experience and experience hope .

RO-55  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 .

RO-56  For when we were yet without strength in due time Christ

died for the ungodly .

RO-57  For scarcely for a righteous man will one die yet

peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die .

RO-58  But God commendeth his love toward us in that while we

were yet sinners Christ died for us .

RO-59  Much more then being now justified by his blood we shall

be saved from wrath through him .

RO-510  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 .

RO-511  And not only so but we also joy in God through our Lord

Jesus Christ by whom we have now received the atonement .

RO-512  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 .

RO-513  For until the law sin was in the world but sin is not

imputed when there is no law .

RO-514  Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses even over

them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's

transgression who is the figure of him that was to come .

RO-515  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 .

RO-516  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 .

RO-517  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 .

RO-518  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 .

RO-519  For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners

so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous .

RO-520  Moreover the law entered that the offence might abound

But where sin abounded grace did much more abound .

RO-521  That as sin hath reigned unto death even so might grace

reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ

our Lord .

* RO-61  What shall we say then Shall we continue in sin that

grace may abound .

RO-62  God forbid How shall we that are dead to sin live any

longer therein .

RO-63  Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into

Jesus Christ were baptized into his death .

RO-64  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 .

RO-65  For if we have been planted together in the likeness of

his death we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection .

RO-66  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 .

RO-67  For he that is dead is freed from sin .

RO-68  Now if we be dead with Christ we believe that we shall

also live with him .

RO-69  Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no

more death hath no more dominion over him .

RO-610  For in that he died he died unto sin once but in that he

liveth he liveth unto God .

RO-611  Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed

unto sin but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord .

RO-612  Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body that ye

should obey it in the lusts thereof .

RO-613  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 .

RO-614  For sin shall not have dominion over you for ye are not

under the law but under grace .

RO-615  What then shall we sin because we are not under the law

but under grace God forbid .

RO-616  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 .

RO-617  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 .

RO-618  Being then made free from sin ye became the servants of

righteousness .

RO-619  I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity

of your flesh for as ye have yielded your members servants to

uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity even so now yield your

members servants to righteousness unto holiness .

RO-620  For when ye were the servants of sin ye were free from

righteousness .

RO-621  What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are

now ashamed for the end of those things is death .

RO-622  But now being made free from sin and become servants to

God ye have your fruit unto holiness and the end everlasting

life .

RO-623  For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is

eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord .

* RO-71  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 .

RO-72  For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law

to her husband so long as he liveth but if the husband be dead

she is loosed from the law of her husband .

RO-73  So then if while her husband liveth she be married to

another man she shall be called an adulteress but if her husband

be dead she is free from that law so that she is no adulteress

though she be married to another man .

RO-74  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 .

RO-75  For when we were in the flesh the motions of sins which

were by the law did work in our members to bring forth fruit

unto death .

RO-76  But now we are delivered from the law that being dead

wherein we were held that we should serve in newness of spirit

and not in the oldness of the letter .

RO-77  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 .

RO-78  But sin taking occasion by the commandment wrought in me

all manner of concupiscence For without the law sin was dead .

RO-79  For I was alive without the law once but when the

commandment came sin revived and I died .

RO-710  And the commandment which was ordained to life I found

to be unto death .

RO-711  For sin taking occasion by the commandment deceived me

and by it slew me .

RO-712  Wherefore the law is holy and the commandment holy and

just and good .

RO-713  Was then that which is good made death unto me God

forbid But sin that it might appear sin working death in me by

that which is good that sin by the commandment might become

exceeding sinful .

RO-714  For we know that the law is spiritual but I am carnal

sold under sin .

RO-715  For that which I do I allow not for what I would that do

I not but what I hate that do I .

RO-716  If then I do that which I would not I consent unto the

law that it is good .

RO-717  Now then it is no more I that do it but sin that

dwelleth in me .

RO-718  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 .

RO-719  For the good that I would I do not but the evil which I

would not that I do .

RO-720  Now if I do that I would not it is no more I that do it

but sin that dwelleth in me .

RO-721  I find then a law that when I would do good evil is

present with me .

RO-722  For I delight in the law of God after the inward man .

RO-723  But I see another law in my members warring against the

law of my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin

which is in my members .

RO-724  O wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from the

body of this death .

RO-725  I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord So then with

the mind I myself serve the law of God but with the flesh the

law of sin .

* RO-81  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which

are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the

Spirit .

RO-82  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath

made me free from the law of sin and death .

RO-83  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 .

RO-84  That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in

us who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit .

RO-85  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 .

RO-86  For to be carnally minded is death but to be spiritually

minded is life and peace .

RO-87  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God for it is

not subject to the law of God neither indeed can be .

RO-88  So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God .

RO-89  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 .

RO-810  And if Christ be in you the body is dead because of sin

but the Spirit is life because of righteousness .

RO-811  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 .

RO-812  Therefore brethren we are debtors not to the flesh to

live after the flesh .

RO-813  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 .

RO-814  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God they are the

sons of God .

RO-815  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 .

RO-816  The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that

we are the children of God .

RO-817  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 .

RO-818  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 .

RO-819  For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for

the manifestation of the sons of God .

RO-820  For the creature was made subject to vanity not

willingly but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in

hope .

RO-821  Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from

the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the

children of God .

RO-822  For we know that the whole creation groaneth and

travaileth in pain together until now .

RO-823  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 .

RO-824  For we are saved by hope but hope that is seen is not

hope for what a man seeth why doth he yet hope for .

RO-825  But if we hope for that we see not then do we with

patience wait for it .

RO-826  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 .

RO-827  And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the

mind of the Spirit because he maketh intercession for the saints

according to the will of God .

RO-828  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 .

RO-829  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 .

RO-830  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 .

RO-831  What shall we then say to these things If God be for us

who can be against us .

RO-832  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 .

RO-833  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect It

is God that justifieth .

RO-834  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 .

RO-835  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ shall

tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or

peril or sword .

RO-836  As it is written For thy sake we are killed all the day

long we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter .

RO-837  Nay in all these things we are more than conquerors

through him that loved us .

RO-838  For I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor

angels nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor

things to come .

RO-839  Nor height nor depth nor any other creature shall be

able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ

Jesus our Lord .

* RO-91  I say the truth in Christ I lie not my conscience also

bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost .

RO-92  That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my

heart .

RO-93  For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ

for my brethren my kinsmen according to the flesh .

RO-94  Who are Israelites to whom pertaineth the adoption and

the glory and the covenants and the giving of the law and the

service of God and the promises .

RO-95  Whose are the fathers and of whom as concerning the flesh

Christ came who is over all God blessed for ever Amen .

RO-96  Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect For

they are not all Israel which are of Israel .

RO-97  Neither because they are the seed of Abraham are they all

children but In Isaac shall thy seed be called .

RO-98  That is They which are the children of the flesh these

are not the children of God but the children of the promise are

counted for the seed .

RO-99  For this is the word of promise At this time will I come

and Sarah shall have a son .

RO-910  And not only this but when Rebecca also had conceived by

one even by our father Isaac .

RO-911  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 .

RO-912  It was said unto her The elder shall serve the younger .

RO-913  As it is written Jacob have I loved but Esau have I

hated .

RO-914  What shall we say then Is there unrighteousness with God

God forbid .

RO-915  For he saith to Moses I will have mercy on whom I will

have mercy and I will have compassion on whom I will have

compassion .

RO-916  So then it is not of him that willeth nor of him that

runneth but of God that showeth mercy .

RO-917  For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh Even for this same

purpose have I raised thee up that I might show my power in thee

and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth .

RO-918  Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy and

whom he will he hardeneth .

RO-919  Thou wilt say then unto me Why doth he yet find fault

For who hath resisted his will .

RO-920  Nay but O man who art thou that repliest against God

Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it Why hast thou

made me thus .

RO-921  Hath not the potter power over the clay of the same lump

to make one vessel unto honour and another unto dishonour .

RO-922  What if God willing to show his wrath and to make his

power known endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath

fitted to destruction .

RO-923  And that he might make known the riches of his glory on

the vessels of mercy which he had afore prepared unto glory .

RO-924  Even us whom he hath called not of the Jews only but

also of the Gentiles .

RO-925  As he saith also in Osee I will call them my people

which were not my people and her beloved which was not beloved .

RO-926  And it shall come to pass that in the place where it was

said unto them Ye are not my people there shall they be called

the children of the living God .

RO-927  Esaias also crieth concerning Israel Though the number

of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea a remnant

shall be saved .

RO-928  For he will finish the work and cut it short in

righteousness because a short work will the Lord make upon the

earth .

RO-929  And as Esaias said before Except the Lord of Sabaoth had

left us a seed we had been as Sodoma and been made like unto

Gomorrha .

RO-930  What shall we say then That the Gentiles which followed

not after righteousness have attained to righteousness even the

righteousness which is of faith .

RO-931  But Israel which followed after the law of righteousness

hath not attained to the law of righteousness .

RO-932  Wherefore Because they sought it not by faith but as it

were by the works of the law For they stumbled at that

stumblingstone .

RO-933  As it is written Behold I lay in Sion a stumblingstone

and rock of offence and whosoever believeth on him shall not be

ashamed .

* RO-101  Brethren my heart's desire and prayer to God for

Israel is that they might be saved .

RO-102  For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God but

not according to knowledge .

RO-103  For they being ignorant of God's righteousness and going

about to establish their own righteousness have not submitted

themselves unto the righteousness of God .

RO-104  For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to

every one that believeth .

RO-105  For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the

law That the man which doeth those things shall live by them .

RO-106  But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this

wise Say not in thine heart Who shall ascend into heaven that is

to bring Christ down from above .

RO-107  Or Who shall descend into the deep that is to bring up

Christ again from the dead .

RO-108  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

.

RO-109  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 .

RO-1010  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and

with the mouth confession is made unto salvation .

RO-1011  For the scripture saith Whosoever believeth on him

shall not be ashamed .

RO-1012  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 .

RO-1013  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord

shall be saved .

RO-1014  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 .

RO-1015  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 .

RO-1016  But they have not all obeyed the gospel For Esaias

saith Lord who hath believed our report .

RO-1017  So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word

of God .

RO-1018  But I say Have they not heard Yes verily their sound

went into all the earth and their words unto the ends of the

world .

RO-1019  But I say Did not Israel know First Moses saith I will

provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people and by a

foolish nation I will anger you .

RO-1020  But Esaias is very bold and saith I was found of them

that sought me not I was made manifest unto them that asked not

after me .

RO-1021  But to Israel he saith All day long I have stretched

forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people .

* RO-111  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 .

RO-112  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 .

RO-113  Lord they have killed thy prophets and digged down thine

altars and I am left alone and they seek my life .

RO-114  But what saith the answer of God unto him I have

reserved to myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the

knee to the image of Baal .

RO-115  Even so then at this present time also there is a

remnant according to the election of grace .

RO-116  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 .

RO-117  What then Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh

for but the election hath obtained it and the rest were blinded .

RO-118  According as it is written God hath given them the

spirit of slumber eyes that they should not see and ears that

they should not hear unto this day .

RO-119  And David saith Let their table be made a snare and a

trap and a stumblingblock and a recompense unto them .

RO-1110  Let their eyes be darkened that they may not see and

bow down their back alway .

RO-1111  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 .

RO-1112  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 .

RO-1113  For I speak to you Gentiles inasmuch as I am the

apostle of the Gentiles I magnify mine office .

RO-1114  If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which

are my flesh and might save some of them .

RO-1115  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 .

RO-1116  For if the firstfruit be holy the lump is also holy and

if the root be holy so are the branches .

RO-1117  And if some of the branches be broken off and thou

being a wild olive tree wert grafted in among them and with them

partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree .

RO-1118  Boast not against the branches But if thou boast thou

bearest not the root but the root thee .

RO-1119  Thou wilt say then The branches were broken off that I

might be grafted in .

RO-1120  Well because of unbelief they were broken off and thou

standest by faith Be not highminded but fear .

RO-1121  For if God spared not the natural branches take heed

lest he also spare not thee .

RO-1122  Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God on

them which fell severity but toward thee goodness if thou

continue in his goodness otherwise thou also shalt be cut off .

RO-1123  And they also if they abide not still in unbelief shall

be grafted in for God is able to graft them in again .

RO-1124  For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is

wild by nature and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good

olive tree how much more shall these which be the natural

branches be grafted into their own olive tree .

RO-1125  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 .

RO-1126  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 .

RO-1127  For this is my covenant unto them when I shall take

away their sins .

RO-1128  As concerning the gospel they are enemies for your

sakes but as touching the election they are beloved for the

fathers' sakes .

RO-1129  For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance

.

RO-1130  For as ye in times past have not believed God yet have

now obtained mercy through their unbelief .

RO-1131  Even so have these also now not believed that through

your mercy they also may obtain mercy .

RO-1132  For God hath concluded them all in unbelief that he

might have mercy upon all .

RO-1133  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 .

RO-1134  For who hath known the mind of the Lord or who hath

been his counsellor .

RO-1135  Or who hath first given to him and it shall be

recompensed unto him again .

RO-1136  For of him and through him and to him are all things to

whom be glory for ever Amen .

* RO-121  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 .

RO-122  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 .

RO-123  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 .

RO-124  For as we have many members in one body and all members

have not the same office .

RO-125  So we being many are one body in Christ and every one

members one of another .

RO-126  Having then gifts differing according to the grace that

is given to us whether prophecy let us prophesy according to the

proportion of faith .

RO-127  Or ministry let us wait on our ministering or he that

teacheth on teaching .

RO-128  Or he that exhorteth on exhortation he that giveth let

him do it with simplicity he that ruleth with diligence he that

showeth mercy with cheerfulness .

RO-129  Let love be without dissimulation Abhor that which is

evil cleave to that which is good .

RO-1210  Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly

love in honour preferring one another .

RO-1211  Not slothful in business fervent in spirit serving the

Lord .

RO-1212  Rejoicing in hope patient in tribulation continuing

instant in prayer .

RO-1213  Distributing to the necessity of saints given to

hospitality .

RO-1214  Bless them which persecute you bless and curse not .

RO-1215  Rejoice with them that do rejoice and weep with them

that weep .

RO-1216  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 .

RO-1217  Recompense to no man evil for evil Provide things

honest in the sight of all men .

RO-1218  If it be possible as much as lieth in you live

peaceably with all men .

RO-1219  Dearly beloved avenge not yourselves but rather give

place unto wrath for it is written Vengeance is mine I will

repay saith the Lord .

RO-1220  Therefore if thine enemy hunger feed him if he thirst

give him drink for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on

his head .

RO-1221  Be not overcome of evil but overcome evil with good .

* RO-131  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 .

RO-132  Whosoever therefore resisteth the power resisteth the

ordinance of God and they that resist shall receive to

themselves damnation .

RO-133  For rulers are not a terror to good works but to the

evil Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power do that which is

good and thou shalt have praise of the same .

RO-134  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 .

RO-135  Wherefore ye must needs be subject not only for wrath

but also for conscience sake .

RO-136  For for this cause pay ye tribute also for they are

God's ministers attending continually upon this very thing .

RO-137  Render therefore to all their dues tribute to whom

tribute is due custom to whom custom fear to whom fear honour to

whom honour .

RO-138  Owe no man any thing but to love one another for he that

loveth another hath fulfilled the law .

RO-139  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 .

RO-1310  Love worketh no ill to his neighbour therefore love is

the fulfilling of the law .

RO-1311  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 .

RO-1312  The night is far spent the day is at hand let us

therefore cast off the works of darkness and let us put on the

armour of light .

RO-1313  Let us walk honestly as in the day not in rioting and

drunkenness not in chambering and wantonness not in strife and

envying .

RO-1314  But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ and make not

provision for the flesh to fulfil the lusts thereof .

* RO-141  Him that is weak in the faith receive ye but not to

doubtful disputations .

RO-142  For one believeth that he may eat all things another who

is weak eateth herbs .

RO-143  Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not and

let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth for God hath

received him .

RO-144  Who art thou that judgest another man's servant to his

own master he standeth or falleth Yea he shall be holden up for

God is able to make him stand .

RO-145  One man esteemeth one day above another another

esteemeth every day alike Let every man be fully persuaded in

his own mind .

RO-146  He that regardeth the day regardeth it unto the Lord and

he that regardeth not the day to the Lord he doth not regard it

He that eateth eateth to the Lord for he giveth God thanks and

he that eateth not to the Lord he eateth not and giveth God

thanks .

RO-147  For none of us liveth to himself and no man dieth to

himself .

RO-148  For whether we live we live unto the Lord and whether we

die we die unto the Lord whether we live therefore or die we are

the Lord's .

RO-149  For to this end Christ both died and rose and revived

that he might be Lord both of the dead and living .

RO-1410  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 .

RO-1411  For it is written As I live saith the Lord every knee

shall bow to me and every tongue shall confess to God .

RO-1412  So then every one of us shall give account of himself

to God .

RO-1413  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 .

RO-1414  I know and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus that there is

nothing unclean of itself but to him that esteemeth any thing to

be unclean to him it is unclean .

RO-1415  But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat now walkest

thou not charitably Destroy not him with thy meat for whom

Christ died .

RO-1416  Let not then your good be evil spoken of .

RO-1417  For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink but

righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost .

RO-1418  For he that in these things serveth Christ is

acceptable to God and approved of men .

RO-1419  Let us therefore follow after the things which make for

peace and things wherewith one may edify another .

RO-1420  For meat destroy not the work of God All things indeed

are pure but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence .

RO-1421  It is good neither to eat flesh nor to drink wine nor

any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth or is offended or is

made weak .

RO-1422  Hast thou faith have it to thyself before God Happy is

he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth .

RO-1423  And he that doubteth is damned if he eat because he

eateth not of faith for whatsoever is not of faith is sin .

* RO-151  We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities

of the weak and not to please ourselves .

RO-152  Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to

edification .

RO-153  For even Christ pleased not himself but as it is written

The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me .

RO-154  For whatsoever things were written aforetime were

written for our learning that we through patience and comfort of

the scriptures might have hope .

RO-155  Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be

likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus .

RO-156  That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God even

the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ .

RO-157  Wherefore receive ye one another as Christ also received

us to the glory of God .

RO-158  Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the

circumcision for the truth of God to confirm the promises made

unto the fathers .

RO-159  And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy as

it is written For this cause I will confess to thee among the

Gentiles and sing unto thy name .

RO-1510  And again he saith Rejoice ye Gentiles with his people .

RO-1511  And again Praise the Lord all ye Gentiles and laud him

all ye people .

RO-1512  And again Esaias saith There shall be a root of Jesse

and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles in him shall

the Gentiles trust .

RO-1513  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 .

RO-1514  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 .

RO-1515  Nevertheless brethren I have written the more boldly

unto you in some sort as putting you in mind because of the

grace that is given to me of God .

RO-1516  That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the

Gentiles ministering the gospel of God that the offering up of

the Gentiles might be acceptable being sanctified by the Holy

Ghost .

RO-1517  I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus

Christ in those things which pertain to God .

RO-1518  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 .

RO-1519  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 .

RO-1520  Yea so have I strived to preach the gospel not where

Christ was named lest I should build upon another man's

foundation .

RO-1521  But as it is written To whom he was not spoken of they

shall see and they that have not heard shall understand .

RO-1522  For which cause also I have been much hindered from

coming to you .

RO-1523  But now having no more place in these parts and having

a great desire these many years to come unto you .

RO-1524  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 .

RO-1525  But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints

.

RO-1526  For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to

make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at

Jerusalem .

RO-1527  It hath pleased them verily and their debtors they are

For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual

things their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things

.

RO-1528  When therefore I have performed this and have sealed to

them this fruit I will come by you into Spain .

RO-1529  And I am sure that when I come unto you I shall come in

the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ .

RO-1530  Now I beseech you brethren for the Lord Jesus Christ's

sake and for the love of the Spirit that ye strive together with

me in your prayers to God for me .

RO-1531  That I may be delivered from them that do not believe

in Judaea and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be

accepted of the saints .

RO-1532  That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God

and may with you be refreshed .

RO-1533  Now the God of peace be with you all Amen .

* RO-161  I commend unto you Phebe our sister which is a servant

of the church which is at Cenchrea .

RO-162  That ye receive her in the Lord as becometh saints and

that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you

for she hath been a succourer of many and of myself also .

RO-163  Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus .

RO-164  Who have for my life laid down their own necks unto whom

not only I give thanks but also all the churches of the Gentiles

.

RO-165  Likewise greet the church that is in their house Salute

my wellbeloved Epaenetus who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto

Christ .

RO-166  Greet Mary who bestowed much labour on us .

RO-167  Salute Andronicus and Junia my kinsmen and my

fellowprisoners who are of note among the apostles who also were

in Christ before me .

RO-168  Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord .

RO-169  Salute Urbane our helper in Christ and Stachys my

beloved .

RO-1610  Salute Apelles approved in Christ Salute them which are

of Aristobulus' household .

RO-1611  Salute Herodion my kinsman Greet them that be of the

household of Narcissus which are in the Lord .

RO-1612  Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa who labour in the Lord

Salute the beloved Persis which laboured much in the Lord .

RO-1613  Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord and his mother and mine

.

RO-1614  Salute Asyncritus Phlegon Hermas Patrobas Hermes and

the brethren which are with them .

RO-1615  Salute Philologus and Julia Nereus and his sister and

Olympas and all the saints which are with them .

RO-1616  Salute one another with an holy kiss The churches of

Christ salute you .

RO-1617  Now I beseech you brethren mark them which cause

divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have

learned and avoid them .

RO-1618  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 .

RO-1619  For your obedience is come abroad unto all men I am

glad therefore on your behalf but yet I would have you wise unto

that which is good and simple concerning evil .

RO-1620  And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet

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

RO-1621  Timotheus my workfellow and Lucius and Jason and

Sosipater my kinsmen salute you .

RO-1622  I Tertius who wrote this epistle salute you in the Lord

.

RO-1623  Gaius mine host and of the whole church saluteth you

Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you and Quartus a

brother .

RO-1624  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all Amen

.

RO-1625  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 .

RO-1626  But now is made manifest and by the scriptures of the

prophets according to the commandment of the everlasting God

made known to all nations for the obedience of faith .

RO-1627  To God only wise be glory through Jesus Christ for ever

Amen .
