1:20	Ever since the creation of the world his invisibleeternal naturepower namelyand hisdivine eternalnature powerinvisible andthough deitythey hasare have been clearlyunderstood perceivedand inseen through the things thathe havehas been made So they are without excuse;
1:21	for althoughthough they knew God they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him but they became futile in their thinking and their senseless minds were darkened
1:22	Claiming to be wise they became fools;
1:23	and they exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling a mortal manhuman being or birds or four footed animals or reptiles
1:24	Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity to the dishonoringdegrading of their bodies among themselves
1:25	because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator who is blessed forforever ever Amen

1:27	and in the same way also the men likewisegiving gave up natural relationsintercourse with women and were consumed with passion for one another menMen committingcommitted shameless acts with men and receivingreceived in their own persons the due penalty for their error

2:1	Therefore you have no excuse O man whoever you are when you judge anotherothers; for in passing judgment uponon himanother you condemn yourself because you the judge are doing the very same things
2:2	You say We know that theGods judgment ofon God rightly falls upon those who do such things is in accordance with truth

2:13	For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous beforein GodGods sight but the doers of the law who will be justified
2:14	When Gentiles who havedo not possess the law do byinstinctively nature what the law requires theythese though not having the law are a law to themselves even though they do not have the law
2:15	They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts whileto which their own conscience also bears witness; and their conflicting thoughts will accuse or perhaps excuse them
2:16	on thatthe day when according to my gospel God judgesthrough theJesus secretsChrist ofwill menjudge bythe Christsecret Jesusthoughts of all
2:17	But if you call yourself a Jew and rely uponon the law and boast of your relation to God
2:18	and know his will and approvedetermine what is excellentbest because you are instructed in the law
2:20	a corrector of the foolish a teacher of children having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—
2:21	you then whothat teach others will you not teach yourself While you preach against stealing do you steal
2:22	You who say that oneforbid must not commit adultery do you commit adultery You whothat abhor idols do you rob temples
2:23	You whothat boast in the law do you dishonor God by breaking the law
2:25	Circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law; but if you break the law your circumcision becomeshas become uncircumcision
2:26	So if athose man who isare uncircumcised keepskeep the preceptsrequirements of the law will not histheir uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision
2:27	Then those who are physically uncircumcised but keep the law will condemn you whothat have the written code and circumcision but break the law
2:28	For hea person is not a real Jew who is one outwardly nor is true circumcision something external and physical
2:29	HeRather a person is a Jew who is one inwardly and real circumcision is a matter of the heart—it is spiritual and not literal HisSuch a person receives praise is not from menothers but from God
3:2	Much in every way ToFor beginin withthe first place the Jews arewere entrusted with the oracles of God
3:3	What if some were unfaithful DoesWill their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God
3:4	By no means LetAlthough Godeveryone beis truea thoughliar everylet manGod be falseproved true as it is written ThatSo thouthat mayestyou may be justified in thyyour words and prevail whenin thouyour art judgedjudging
3:5	But if our wickednessinjustice serves to showconfirm the justice of God what shallshould we say That God is unjust to inflict wrath on us I speak in a human way
3:8	And why not dosay evilas thatsome goodpeople mayslander come—asus someby peoplesaying slanderouslythat chargewe say Let us withdo sayingevil so that good may come Their condemnation is justdeserved
3:9	What then Are we Jews any better off No not at all; for Iwe have already charged that all men both Jews and Greeks are under the power of sin
3:10	as it is written: NoneThere is no one who is righteous no not even one;
3:11	there is no one understandswho has understanding there is no one who seeks for God
3:12	All have turned aside together they have gonebecome wrongworthless; there is no one doeswho goodshows kindness there is not even one
3:13	Their throatthroats isare anopened opengraves; grave they use their tongues to deceive The venom of aspsvipers is under their lips
3:14	Their mouthmouths isare full of cursescursing and bitterness
3:15	Their feet are swift to shed blood;
3:16	inruin theirand pathsmisery are ruinin andtheir miserypaths
3:17	and the way of peace they dohave not knowknown
3:19	Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law so that every mouth may be stoppedsilenced and the whole world may be held accountable to God
3:20	For no human being will be justified in his sight by worksdeeds ofprescribed by the law sincefor through the law comes the knowledge of sin
3:21	But now apart from law the righteousness of God has been manifesteddisclosed apartand fromis lawattested althoughby the law and the prophets bear witness to it
3:22	the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe For there is no distinction;
3:23	since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;
3:24	they are now justified by his grace as a gift through the redemption whichthat is in Christ Jesus
3:25	whom God put forward as ana expiationsacrifice of atonement by his blood toeffective bethrough receivedfaith byHe faithdid Thisthis was to show Godshis righteousness because in his divine forbearance he had passed over formerthe sins previously committed;
3:26	it was to prove at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he justifies himthe one who has faith in Jesus
3:27	Then what becomes of our boasting It is excluded OnBy what principlelaw OnBy thethat principle of works No but onby the principlelaw of faith
3:28	For we hold that a manperson is justified by faith apart from works ofprescribed by the law
3:30	since God is one; and he will justify the circumcised on the ground of their faith and the uncircumcised through theirthat same faith
4:1	What then shallare we to say aboutwas gained by Abraham our forefatherancestor according to the flesh
4:4	Now to one who works his wages are not reckoned as a gift but as hissomething due
4:5	AndBut to one who doeswithout notworks work but trusts him who justifies the ungodly hissuch faith is reckoned as righteousness
4:6	So also David pronouncesspeaks aof blessingthe uponblessedness theof manthose to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works:
4:8	blessed is the manone against whom the Lord will not reckon his sin
4:9	Is this blessingblessedness then pronounced only uponon the circumcised or also uponon the uncircumcised We say thatFaith faith was reckoned to Abraham as righteousness
4:11	He received the sign of circumcision as a sign or seal of the righteousness whichthat he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised The purpose was to make him the fatherancestor of all who believe without being circumcised and who thus have righteousness reckoned to them
4:12	and likewise the fatherancestor of the circumcised who are not merelyonly circumcised but who also follow the example of the faith whichthat our fatherancestor Abraham had before he was circumcised
4:13	TheFor the promise to Abraham and his descendants that theyhe shouldwould inherit the world did not come to Abraham or to his descendants through the law but through the righteousness of faith
4:15	For the law brings wrath; but where there is no law thereneither is nothere transgressionviolation
4:16	ThatFor isthis whyreason it depends on faith in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his descendants— not only to the adherents of the law but also to those who share the faith of Abraham for he is the father of all of us all
4:18	InHoping against hope he believed against hope that he shouldwould become the father of many nations; asaccording heto hadwhat beenwas toldsaid So numerous shall your descendants be
4:19	He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body which was already as good as dead becausefor he was about a hundred years old or when he considered the barrenness of Sarahs womb
4:21	being fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised
4:22	ThatTherefore is why his faith was reckoned to him as righteousness
4:23	ButNow the words it was reckoned to him were written not for his sake alone
4:24	but for ours also It will be reckoned to us who believe in him thatwho raised Jesus our Lord from the dead Jesus our Lord
4:25	who was puthanded over to death for our trespasses and was raised for our justification
5:2	Throughthrough himwhom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we rejoiceboast in our hope of sharing the glory of God
5:3	MoreAnd thannot only that but we rejoicealso boast in our sufferings knowing that suffering produces endurance
5:5	and hope does not disappoint us because Gods love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit whichthat has been given to us
5:6	WhileFor while we were still weak at the right time Christ died for the ungodly
5:7	WhyIndeed onerarely will hardlyanyone die for a righteous manperson—though perhaps for a good manperson onesomeone willmight actually dare even to die
5:8	But God showsproves his love for us in that while we still were yet sinners Christ died for us
5:9	SinceMuch thereforemore wesurely arethen now that we have been justified by his blood muchwill more shall we be saved bythrough him from the wrath of God
5:10	For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God bythrough the death of his Son much more nowsurely thathaving webeen are reconciled shallwill we be saved by his life
5:11	NotBut onlymore sothan butthat we alsoeven rejoiceboast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ through whom we have now received our reconciliation
5:12	Therefore just as sin came into the world through one man and death came through sin and so death spread to all men because all menhave sinned—
5:13	sin was indeed was in the world before the law was given but sin is not countedreckoned wherewhen there is no law
5:14	Yet death reignedexercised dominion from Adam to Moses even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam who wasis a type of the one who was to come
5:15	But the free gift is not like the trespass For if the many died through the one mans trespass much more surely have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of thatthe one man Jesus Christ abounded for the many
5:16	And the free gift is not like the effect of thatthe one mans sin For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification
5:17	If because of the one mans trespass death reignedexercised dominion through that one man much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reignexercise dominion in life through the one man Jesus Christ
5:18	ThenTherefore just as one mans trespass led to condemnation for all men so one mans act of righteousness leads to acquittaljustification and life for all men
5:19	For just as by the one mans disobedience the many were made sinners so by the one mans obedience the many will be made righteous
5:20	LawBut law came in towith increasethe result that the trespass multiplied; but where sin increased grace abounded all the more
5:21	so that just as sin reignedexercised dominion in death so grace might also mightexercise reigndominion through righteousnessjustification leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
6:1	What shallthen are we to say thenShould Are we to continue in sin in order that grace may abound
6:2	By no means How can we who died to sin stillgo liveon living in it
6:4	WeTherefore werewe have been buried therefore with him by baptism into death so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father so we too might walk in newness of life
6:5	For if we have been united with him in a death like his we shallwill certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his
6:6	We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the sinful body of sin might be destroyed and we might no longer be enslaved to sin
6:7	For hewhoever who has died is freed from sin
6:8	But if we have died with Christ we believe that we shallwill also live with him
6:9	ForWe we know that Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him
6:10	The death he died he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives he lives to God
6:12	LetTherefore do not let sin thereforeexercise reigndominion in your mortal bodies to make you obey their passions
6:13	DoNo notlonger yieldpresent your members to sin as instruments of wickedness but yieldpresent yourselves to God as menthose who have been brought from death to life and present your members to God as instruments of righteousness
6:15	What then AreShould we to sin because we are not under law but under grace By no means
6:16	Do you not know that if you yieldpresent yourselves to anyanyone one as obedient slaves you are slaves of the one whom you obey either of sin which leads to death or of obedience which leads to righteousness
6:17	But thanks be to God that you whohaving were once been slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standardform of teaching to which you were committedentrusted
6:18	and that you having been set free from sin have become slaves of righteousness
6:19	I am speaking in human terms because of your natural limitations For just as you once yieldedpresented your members as slaves to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity so now yieldpresent your members as slaves to righteousness for sanctification
6:21	ButSo then what returnadvantage did you then get from the things of which you now are now ashamed The end of those things is death
6:22	But now that you have been setfreed free from sin and haveenslaved becometo slaves of God the returnadvantage you get is sanctification andThe its end is eternal life
7:1	Do you not know brethrenbrothers and sisters —for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is binding on a person only during histhat lifepersons lifetime
7:2	Thus a married woman is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives; but if her husband dies she is discharged from the law concerning the husband
7:4	LikewiseIn the same way my brethrenfriends you have died to the law through the body of Christ so that you may belong to another to him who has been raised from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God
7:6	But now we are discharged from the law dead to that which held us captive so that we serveare slaves not under the old written code but in the new life of the Spirit
7:7	What then shallshould we say That the law is sin By no means Yet if it had not been for the law I shouldwould not have known sin I shouldwould not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said You shall not covet
7:8	But sin findingseizing an opportunity in the commandment wroughtproduced in me all kinds of covetousness Apart from the law sin lies dead
7:9	I was once alive apart from the law but when the commandment came sin revived and I died;
7:10	and I died and the very commandment whichthat promised life proved to be death to me
7:11	For sin findingseizing an opportunity in the commandment deceived me and bythrough it killed me
7:13	Did thatwhat which is good then bring death to me By no means It was sin working death in me through what is good in order that sin might be shown to be sin and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure
7:14	WeFor we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnalof the flesh sold into slavery under sin
7:17	SoBut thenin fact it is no longer I that do it but sin whichthat dwells within me
7:20	Now if I do what I do not want it is no longer I that do it but sin whichthat dwells within me
7:21	So I find it to be a law that when I want to do rightwhat is good evil lies close at hand
7:23	but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin whichthat dwells in my members
7:24	Wretched man that I am Who will deliverrescue me from this body of death
7:25	Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord So then with my mind I ofam myselfa serveslave to the law of God with my mind but with my flesh I serveam a slave to the law of sin
8:2	For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set meyou free from the law of sin and of death
8:3	For God has done what the law weakened by the flesh could not do: by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and forto deal with sin he condemned sin in the flesh
8:4	inso order that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit
8:7	For this reason the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to Gods law —indeed it cannot;
8:9	But you are not in the flesh; you are in the Spirit ifsince in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you AnyAnyone one who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him
8:10	But if Christ is in you althoughthough yourthe bodiesbody areis dead because of sin yourthe spiritsSpirit areis alivelife because of righteousness
8:11	If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit whichthat dwells in you
8:12	So then brethrenbrothers and sisters we are debtors not to the flesh to live according to the flesh—
8:13	for if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live
8:14	For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sonschildren of God
8:15	For you did not receive thea spirit of slavery to fall back into fear but you have received thea spirit of sonshipadoption When we cry Abba Father
8:16	it is thethat very Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God
8:17	and if children then heirs heirs of God and fellowjoint heirs with Christ—if providedin fact we suffer with him inso order that we may also be glorified with him
8:18	I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory thatabout is to be revealed to us
8:19	For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sonschildren of God;
8:20	for the creation was subjected to futility not of its own will but by the will of himthe one who subjected it in hope;
8:21	becausethat the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the gloriousfreedom libertyof the glory of the children of God
8:22	We know that the whole creation has been groaning in travaillabor togetherpains until now;
8:23	and not only the creation but we ourselves who have the first fruits of the Spirit groan inwardly aswhile we wait for adoption as sons the redemption of our bodies
8:24	For in this hope we were saved Now hope that is seen is not hope For who hopes for what heis seesseen
8:26	Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought but thethat very Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words
8:27	And heGod who searches the heartsheart of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God
8:28	We know that inall everythingthings Godwork workstogether for good withfor those who love himGod who are called according to his purpose
8:29	For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son in order that he might be the firstfirstborn bornwithin amonga manylarge brethrenfamily
8:31	What then shallare we to say toabout thisthese things If God is for us who is against us
8:32	He who did not sparewithhold his own Son but gave him up for all of us all will he not with him also give us alleverything thingselse with him
8:33	Who shallwill bring any charge against Gods elect It is God who justifies;
8:34	whoWho is to condemn IsIt itis Christ Jesus who died yes who was raised from the dead who is at the right hand of God who indeed intercedes for us
8:35	Who shallwill separate us from the love of Christ ShallWill tribulationhardship or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword
8:36	As it is written For thyyour sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regardedaccounted as sheep to be slaughtered
8:38	For I am sureconvinced that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalitiesrulers nor things present nor things to come nor powers
9:1	I am speaking the truth in Christ —I am not lying; my conscience bearsconfirms meit witnessby in the Holy Spirit—
9:2	that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart
9:3	For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brethrenown people my kinsmenkindred byaccording raceto the flesh
9:4	They are Israelites and to them belong the sonshipadoption the glory the covenants the giving of the law the worship and the promises;
9:5	to them belong the patriarchs and offrom theirthem race according to the flesh iscomes the ChristMessiah God who is over all beGod blessed forforever ever Amen
9:6	ButIt it is not as though the word of God had failed For not all whoIsraelites aretruly descended from Israel belong to Israel
9:7	and not all are children of AbrahamAbrahams becausechildren they are his true descendants; but ThroughIt is through Isaac shallthat your descendants shall be named for you
9:8	This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God but the children of the promise are reckonedcounted as descendants
9:10	AndNor notis onlythat soall; butsomething alsosimilar whenhappened to Rebecca when she had conceived children by one manhusband our forefatherancestor Isaac
9:11	thoughEven before they werehad notbeen yet born andor had done nothinganything either good or bad inso order that Gods purpose of election might continue not because of works but because of his call
9:12	not by works but by his call she was told The elder willshall serve the younger
9:13	As it is written Jacob I have loved Jacob but Esau I have hated Esau
9:14	What shallthen are we to say then Is there injustice on Gods part By no means
9:16	So it depends not uponon manshuman will or exertion but uponon GodsGod who shows mercy
9:18	So then he has mercy uponon whomever he willschooses and he hardens the heart of whomever he willschooses
9:19	You will say to me then Why then does he still find fault For who can resist his will
9:20	But who indeed are you a manhuman being to answerargue backwith to God Will what is molded say to itsthe molderone who molds it Why have you made me thuslike this
9:21	Has the potter no right over the clay to make out of the same lump one vesselobject for beautyspecial use and another for menialordinary use
9:22	What if God desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power has endured with much patience the vesselsobjects of wrath that are made for destruction;
9:23	and what if he has done so in order to make known the riches of his glory for the vesselsobjects of mercy which he has prepared beforehand for glory—
9:24	evenincluding us whom he has called not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles
9:25	As indeed he says in Hose′aHosea Those who were not my people I will call my people and her who was not beloved I will call mybeloved beloved
9:26	And in the very place where it was said to them You are not my people there they willshall be called sonschildren of the living God
9:27	And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: Though the number of the sonschildren of Israel bewere aslike the sand of the sea only a remnant of them will be saved;
9:28	for the Lord will execute his sentence uponon the earth withquickly rigor and dispatchdecisively
9:29	And as Isaiah predicted If the Lord of hosts had not left survivors to us children we would have fared like Sodom and been made like Gomor′rahGomorrah
9:30	What shallthen are we to say then That Gentiles who did not pursuestrive for righteousness have attained it that is righteousness through faith;
9:31	but that Israel who pursueddid strive for the righteousness whichthat is based on the law did not succeed in fulfilling that law
9:32	Why not Because they did not pursuestrive for it throughon the basis of faith but as if it were based on works They have stumbled over the stumbling stone
9:33	as it is written BeholdSee I am laying in Zion a stone that will make menpeople stumble a rock that will make them fall; and hewhoever who believes in him will not be put to shame
10:1	BrethrenBrothers and sisters my hearts desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved
10:2	I bearcan themtestify witness that they have a zeal for God but it is not enlightened
10:3	For being ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God and seeking to establish their own they didhave not submitsubmitted to Gods righteousness
10:4	For Christ is the end of the law so that everythere onemay whobe hasrighteousness faithfor mayeveryone bewho justifiedbelieves
10:5	Moses writes thatconcerning the manrighteousness whothat practicescomes from the righteousnesslaw whichthat isthe basedperson onwho thedoes lawthese shallthings will live by itthem
10:6	But the righteousness basedthat oncomes from faith says Do not say in your heart Who will ascend into heaven that is to bring Christ down
10:8	But what does it say The word is near you on your lips and in your heart that is the word of faith whichthat we preachproclaim;
10:10	For manone believes with histhe heart and so is justified and heone confesses with histhe lipsmouth and so is saved
10:12	For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and bestowsis hisgenerous richesto upon all who call uponon him
10:13	For everyEveryone one who calls uponon the name of the Lord willshall be saved
10:14	But how are menthey to call uponon himone in whom they have not believed And how are they to believe in himone of whom they have never heard And how are they to hear without asomeone preacherto proclaim him
10:15	And how canare menthey preachto proclaim him unless they are sent As it is written How beautiful are the feet of those who preachbring good news
10:16	But they have not all have obeyed the gospelgood news; for Isaiah says Lord who has believed whatour hemessage has heard from us
10:17	So faith comes from what is heard and what is heard comes bythrough the preachingword of Christ
11:2	God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew Do you not know what the scripture says of Eli′jahElijah how he pleads with God against Israel
11:3	Lord they have killed thyyour prophets they have demolished thyyour altars; and I alone am left and they seekare seeking my life
11:4	But what is Godsthe divine reply to him I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Ba′alBaal
11:6	But if it is by grace it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace
11:7	What then Israel failed to obtain what it soughtwas seeking The elect obtained it but the rest were hardened
11:8	as it is written God gave them a sluggish spirit of stupor eyes that shouldwould not see and ears that shouldwould not hear down to this very day
11:9	And David says Let their table become a snare and a trap a pitfallstumbling block and a retribution for them;
11:10	let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see and bendkeep their backs forforever everbent
11:11	So I ask have they stumbled so as to fall By no means But through their trespassstumbling salvation has come to the Gentiles so as to make Israel jealous
11:12	Now if their trespassstumbling means riches for the world and if their failuredefeat means riches for the Gentiles how much more will their full inclusion mean
11:13	Now I am speaking to you Gentiles Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles I magnifyglorify my ministry
11:14	in order to make my fellowown Jewspeople jealous and thus save some of them
11:15	For if their rejection meansis the reconciliation of the world what will their acceptance meanbe but life from the dead
11:16	If the part of the dough offered as first fruits is holy sothen is the whole lumpbatch is holy; and if the root is holy sothen are the branches also are holy
11:17	But if some of the branches were broken off and you a wild olive shoot were grafted in their place to share the richnessrich root of the olive tree
11:18	do not boast over the branches If you do boast remember that it is not you that support the root but the root that supports you
11:20	That is true They were broken off because of their unbelief but you stand fast only through faith So do not become proud but stand in awe
11:21	For if God did not spare the natural branches neitherperhaps he will henot spare you
11:22	Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen but Gods kindness totoward you provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you tooalso will be cut off
11:23	And even thethose othersof Israel if they do not persist in their unbelief will be grafted in for God has the power to graft them in again
11:25	LestSo that you may not claim to be wisewiser inthan youryou ownare conceitsbrothers and sisters I want you to understand this mystery brethren: a hardening has come upon part of Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in
11:26	andAnd so all Israel will be saved; as it is written TheOut Delivererof Zion will come fromthe ZionDeliverer; he will banish ungodliness from Jacob;
11:27	andAnd this willis be my covenant with them when I take away their sins
11:28	As regards the gospel they are enemies of God for your sake; but as regards election they are beloved for the sake of their forefathersancestors;
11:29	Forfor the gifts and the callcalling of God are irrevocable
11:30	Just as you were once disobedient to God but have now have received mercy because of their disobedience
11:31	so they have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they alsotoo may now receive mercy
11:32	For God has consignedimprisoned all menin to disobedience so that he may havebe mercymerciful uponto all
11:34	For who has known the mind of the Lord orOr who has been his counselor
11:35	Or who has given a gift to him thatto hereceive mighta begift repaidin return
11:36	For from him and through him and to him are all things To him be the glory forforever ever Amen
12:1	I appeal to you therefore brethrenbrothers and sisters by the mercies of God to present your bodies as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God which is your spiritual worship
12:2	Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewalrenewing of your mindminds so that you may provediscern what is the will of God —what is good and acceptable and perfect
12:3	For by the grace given to me I bidsay everyto oneeveryone among you not to think of himselfyourself more highly than heyou ought to think but to think with sober judgment each according to the measure of faith whichthat God has assigned him
12:4	For as in one body we have many members and not all the members do not have the same function
12:5	so we thoughwho are many are one body in Christ and individually we are members one of another
12:6	HavingWe have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us let us use them: if prophecy in proportion to our faith;
12:7	ifministry service in our servingministering; hethe whoteacher teaches in his teaching;
12:8	hethe whoexhorter exhorts in his exhortation; hethe whogiver contributes in liberalitygenerosity; hethe wholeader givesin aid with zealdiligence; hethe whocompassionate doesin acts of mercy with cheerfulness
12:10	love one another with brotherlymutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor
12:11	NeverDo flagnot lag in zeal be aglowardent within thespirit Spirit serve the Lord

12:16	Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty but associate with the lowly; neverdo not claim to be conceitedwiser than you are
12:17	RepayDo nonot onerepay anyone evil for evil but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all
12:18	If it is possible so far as it depends uponon you live peaceably with all
12:19	Beloved never avenge yourselves but leave itroom tofor the wrath of God; for it is written Vengeance is mine I will repay says the Lord
12:20	No if your enemyenemies isare hungry feed himthem; if hethey isare thirsty give himthem something to drink; for by so doing this you will heap burning coals uponon histheir headheads
13:1	Let every person be subject to the governing authorities; Forfor there is no authority except from God and those authorities that exist have been instituted by God
13:2	Therefore hewhoever who resists theauthority authorities resists what God has appointed and those who resist will incur judgment
13:3	For rulers are not a terror to good conduct but to bad WouldDo you wish to have no fear of himthe who is in authority Then do what is good and you will receive hisits approval;
13:4	for heit is Gods servant for your good But if you do what is wrong you should be afraid for hethe authority does not bear the sword in vain; heIt is the servant of God to execute his wrath on the wrongdoer
13:5	Therefore one must be subject not only tobecause avoidof Gods wrath but also forbecause the sake of conscience
13:6	For the same reason you also pay taxes for the authorities are ministersGods ofservants Godbusy attendingwith to this very thing
13:7	Pay to all ofwhat themis theirdue dues them—taxes to whom taxes are due revenue to whom revenue is due respect to whom respect is due honor to whom honor is due
13:8	Owe no one anything except to love one another; for hethe one who loves hisanother neighbor has fulfilled the law
13:9	The commandments You shall not commit adultery; You shall not killmurder; You shall not steal; You shall not covet; and any other commandment are summed up in this sentenceword YouLove shall love your neighbor as yourself
13:11	Besides this you know what hourtime it is how it is fullnow timethe nowmoment for you to wake from sleep For salvation is nearer to us now than when we firstbecame believedbelievers;
13:12	the night is far gone the day is atnear hand Let us then castlay offaside the works of darkness and put on the armor of light;
13:13	let us conductlive ourselveshonorably becomingly as in the day not in reveling and drunkenness not in debauchery and licentiousness not in quarreling and jealousy
13:14	ButInstead put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh to gratify its desires
14:1	AsWelcome forthose the man who isare weak in faith welcome him but not for disputesthe purpose of quarreling over opinions
14:2	OneSome believesbelieve hein mayeating eat anything while the weak maneat eats only vegetables
14:3	LetThose notwho himeat whomust eatsnot despise himthose who abstainsabstain and letthose notwho himabstain whomust abstainsnot pass judgment on himthose who eatseat; for God has welcomed himthem
14:4	Who are you to pass judgment on theservants servant of another It is before histheir own masterlord that hethey standsstand or fallsfall And hethey will be upheld for the MasterLord is able to make himthem stand
14:5	OneSome manjudge esteems one day asto be better than another while anotherothers manjudge esteems all days to be alike Let everyall one be fully convinced in histheir own mindminds
14:6	HeThose who observesobserve the day observesobserve it in honor of the Lord HeAlso alsothose who eatseat eatseat in honor of the Lord since hethey givesgive thanks to God; while hethose who abstainsabstain abstainsabstain in honor of the Lord and givesgive thanks to God
14:7	NoneWe ofdo usnot liveslive to himselfourselves and nonewe ofdo usnot diesdie to himselfourselves
14:9	For to this end Christ died and lived again so that he might be Lord of both of the dead and of the living
14:10	Why do you pass judgment on your brother or sister Or you why do you despise your brother or sister For we shallwill all stand before the judgment seat of God;
14:11	forFor it is written As I live says the Lord every knee shall bow to me and every tongue shall give praise to God
14:12	So then each of us shallwill givebe accountaccountable of himself to God
14:13	ThenLet let us therefore no morelonger pass judgment on one another but ratherresolve decideinstead never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of aanother brother
14:14	I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but it is unclean for anyanyone one who thinks it unclean
14:15	If your brother or sister is being injured by what you eat you are no longer walking in love Do not let what you eat cause the ruin of one for whom Christ died
14:17	For the kingdom of God is not food and drink but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit;
14:18	heThe one who thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approvedhas byhuman menapproval
14:20	Do not for the sake of food destroy the work of God Everything is indeed clean but it is wrong for anyyou one to make others fall by what heyou eatseat;
14:21	it is rightgood not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that makes your brother or sister stumble
14:22	The faith that you have keephave betweenas yourselfyour andown conviction before God; happyBlessed isare hethose who hashave no reason to judgecondemn himselfthemselves forbecause of what hethey approvesapprove
14:23	But hethose who hashave doubts isare condemned if hethey eatseat because hethey doesdo not act from faith; for whatever does not proceed from faith is sin
15:1	We who are strong ought to bearput up with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves;
15:2	letEach each of us must please hisour neighbor for histhe good topurpose edifyof himbuilding up the neighbor
15:3	For Christ did not please himself; but as it is written The reproachesinsults of those who reproachedinsult theeyou fellhave fallen on me
15:4	For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction so that by steadfastness and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope
15:5	May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another in accordaccordance with Christ Jesus
15:6	so that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
15:7	Welcome one another therefore just as Christ has welcomed you for the glory of God
15:8	For I tell you that Christ becamehas become a servant toof the circumcised toon showbehalf Godsof truthfulnessthe truth of God in order tothat he might confirm the promises given to the patriarchs
15:9	and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy As it is written Therefore I will praiseconfess theeyou among the Gentiles and sing praises to thyyour name;
15:10	and again ithe issays said Rejoice O Gentiles with his people;
15:11	and again Praise the Lord all you Gentiles and let all the peoples praise him;
15:12	and furtheragain Isaiah says The root of Jesse shall come hethe one who rises to rule the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles shall hope
15:13	May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope
15:14	I myself amfeel satisfiedconfident about you my brethrenbrothers and sisters that you yourselves are full of goodness filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one another
15:15	ButNevertheless on some points I have written to you veryrather boldly by way of reminder because of the grace given me by God
15:17	In Christ Jesus then I have reason to beboast proud of my work for God
15:18	For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has wroughtaccomplished through me to win obedience from the Gentiles by word and deed
15:19	by the power of signs and wonders by the power of the Holy Spirit of God so that from Jerusalem and as far roundaround as Illyr′icumIllyricum I have fully preachedproclaimed the gospelgood news of Christ
15:20	thusThus makingI make it my ambition to preachproclaim the gospelgood news not where Christ has already been named lestso that I do not build on anothersomeone manselses foundation
