I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek.

For the gospel reveals the righteousness of God that comes by faith from start to finish, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness.

For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen.

And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.

For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous.

For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous.

So they show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them

…if you know His will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law;

As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”

As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”

If a man who is not circumcised keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

The one who is physically uncircumcised yet keeps the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.

A man is not a Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision only outward and physical.

A man is not a Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision only outward and physical.

A man is not a Jew because he is one outwardly, nor is circumcision only outward and physical.

No, a man is a Jew because he is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God.

What, then, is the advantage of being a Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?

What, then, is the advantage of being a Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?

Certainly not! Let God be true and every man a liar. As it is written: “So that You may be proved right when You speak and victorious when You judge.”

But if our unrighteousness highlights the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unjust to inflict His wrath on us? I am speaking in human terms.

Why not say, as some slanderously claim that we say, “Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is deserved!

As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one.

As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one.

There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.

All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”

“Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The venom of vipers is on their lips.”

“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction,

…and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of works? No, but on that of faith.

Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of works? No, but on that of faith.

For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

Is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,

Is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,

…since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.

However, to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.

Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.”

Is this blessing only on the circumcised, or also on the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.

And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.

And he is also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

For if those who live by the law are heirs, faith is useless and the promise is worthless,

For if those who live by the law are heirs, faith is useless and the promise is worthless,

…because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law, there is no transgression.

…because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law, there is no transgression.

Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.

As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the presence of God, in whom he believed, the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being what does not yet exist.

As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the presence of God, in whom he believed, the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being what does not yet exist.

This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”

For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.

For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.

Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.

But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many!

Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification.

What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death.

But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life.

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

For instance, a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.

For instance, a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.

So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.

So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.

What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the law. For I would not have been aware of coveting if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”

But sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.

So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.

Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But in order that sin might be exposed as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.

We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.

And if I do what I do not want to do, I admit that the law is good.

In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.

I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.

And if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

And if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.

So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace,

The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace,

…because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.

But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.

But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.

But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.

And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.

Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation, but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.

For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see?

For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see?

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

Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.

Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God—and He is interceding for us.

As it is written: “For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
