\par }{\MT Romans

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Paul,
a
servant
of
Jesus
Christ,
called
to
be
an
apostle,
separated unto
the
gospel
of
God,
\VS{2}Which
he
had
promised
before,
by
his
prophets,
in
the
holy
scriptures,
\VS{3}Concerning
his
Son,
who
was
made
to
him
of
the
seed
of
David,
according
to
the
flesh,
\VS{4}Who
was predestinated
the
Son
of
God
in
power,
according
to
the
spirit
of sanctification,
by
the
resurrection
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
from
the
dead;
\VS{5}By
whom
we
have
received
grace
and
apostleship
for
obedience
to
the
faith,
in
all
nations,
for
his
name;
\VS{6}Among
whom
are
you
also
the
called
of
Jesus
Christ:
\VS{7}To
all
that
are
at
Rome,
the
beloved
of
God,
called
to
be
saints.
Grace
to
you,
and
peace
from
God
our
Father,
and
from
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{8}First
I
give
thanks
to
my
God,
through
Jesus
Christ,
for
you
all,
because
your
faith
is spoken
of
in
the
whole
world.
\VS{9}For
God
is
my
witness,
whom
I
serve
in
my
spirit
in
the
gospel
of
his
Son,
that
without
ceasing
I
make
a commemoration
of
you;
\VS{10}Always
in
my
prayers making request,
if
by
any
means
now
at length
I
may
have
a prosperous journey,
by
the
will
of
God,
to
come unto
you.
\VS{11}For
I
long
to
see
you,
that
I
may
impart unto
you
some
spiritual grace,
to
strengthen
you:
\VS{12}That
is
to
say,
that
I
may
be comforted
together
in
you,
by
that
which
is common
to
us
both,
your
faith
and
mine.
\VS{13}And
I
would
not
have
you
ignorant,
brethren,
that
I
have
often
purposed
to
come unto
you, (and
have
been
hindered hitherto,)
that
I
might
have
some
fruit
among
you
also,
even
as
among
other
Gentiles.
\VS{14}To
the
Greeks
and
to
the
barbarians,
to
the
wise
and
to
the unwise,
I
am
a debtor;
\VS{15}So (as much
as
is
in
me)
I
am ready
to
preach
the
gospel
to
you
also
that
are
at
Rome.
\VS{16}For
I
am
not
ashamed
of
the
gospel.
For
it
is
the
power
of
God unto
salvation
to
every
one
that believeth,
to
the
Jew
first,
and
to
the
Greek.
\VS{17}For
the
justice
of
God
is
revealed therein,
from
faith unto
faith,
as
it
is
written:
The
just
man liveth
by
faith.
\VS{18}For
the
wrath
of
God
is
revealed
from
heaven
against
all
ungodliness
and
injustice
of
those
men
that detain
the
truth
of
God
in
injustice:
\VS{19}Because
that
which
is
known
of
God
is
manifest
in
them.
For
God hath
manifested
it unto
them.
\VS{20}For
the
invisible
things
of
him,
from
the
creation
of
the
world,
are
clearly
seen,
being
understood
by
the
things
that
are
made;
his
eternal
power
also,
and divinity:
so
that
they
are inexcusable.
\VS{21}Because
that,
when
they
knew
God,
they
have
not
glorified
him
as
God,
or
given
thanks;
but
became vain
in
their
thoughts,
and
their
foolish
heart
was
darkened.
\VS{22}For
professing
themselves
to
be
wise,
they
became
fools.
\VS{23}And
they
changed
the
glory
of
the incorruptible
God
into
the
likeness
of
the
image
of
a
corruptible
man,
and
of
birds,
and
of fourfooted beasts,
and
of creeping
things.
\VS{24}Wherefore
God
gave
them
up
to
the
desires
of
their
heart, unto
uncleanness,
to dishonour
their
own
bodies
among
themselves.
\VS{25}Who changed
the
truth
of
God
into
a
lie;
and worshipped
and
served
the
creature
rather
than
the
Creator,
who
is
blessed
for
ever.
Amen.
\VS{26}For
this cause
God
delivered
them
up
to shameful affections.
For
their
women
have changed
the
natural
use
into
that
use
which
is
against
nature.
\VS{27}And,
in
like
manner,
the
men
also,
leaving
the
natural use
of
the
women,
have
burned
in
their lusts
one towards
another,
men
with
men working
that
which
is filthy,
and
receiving
in
themselves
the recompense
which
was
due
to
their
error.
\VS{28}And
as
they liked
not
to
have
God
in
their
knowledge,
God
delivered
them
up
to
a reprobate sense,
to
do
those
things
which
are
not convenient;
\VS{29}Being
filled
with
all
iniquity,
malice, fornication, avarice,
wickedness,
full
of
envy,
murder, contention,
deceit, malignity, whisperers,
\VS{30}Detractors, hateful
to
God, contumelious, proud, haughty,
inventors
of
evil
things,
disobedient
to
parents,
\VS{31}Foolish, dissolute,
without affection,
without fidelity,
without mercy.
\VS{32}Who,
having
known
the justice
of
God,
did
not
understand
that
they
who
do
such
things,
are
worthy
of
death;
and
not
only
they
that
do
them,
but
they
also
that consent
to
them
that
do
them.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Wherefore thou art inexcusable,
O
man, whosoever thou art
that judgest.
For wherein thou judgest
another, thou condemnest thyself.
For thou dost
the
same
things
which thou judgest.
\VS{2}For
we
know
that
the
judgment
of
God
is,
according
to
truth,
against
them
that
do
such
things.
\VS{3}And thinkest thou
this,
O
man,
that judgest
them
who
do
such
things,
and dost
the
same,
that thou shalt
escape
the
judgment
of
God?
\VS{4}Or despisest thou
the
riches
of
his goodness,
and
patience,
and longsuffering? Knowest thou
not,
that
the benignity
of
God leadeth thee
to penance?
\VS{5}But
according
to thy hardness
and impenitent
heart, thou treasurest
up
to thyself
wrath,
against
the
day
of
wrath,
and
revelation
of
the
just
judgment
of
God.
\VS{6}Who
will
render
to
every
man
according
to
his
works.
\VS{7}To
them
indeed,
who
according
to
patience
in
good
work,
seek
glory
and honour
and incorruption,
eternal
life:
\VS{8}But
to
them
that
are contentious,
and
who
obey
not
the
truth,
but give credit
to
iniquity,
wrath
and
indignation.
\VS{9}Tribulation
and
anguish
upon
every
soul
of
man
that worketh
evil,
of
the
Jew
first,
and
also
of
the
Greek.
\VS{10}But
glory,
and honour,
and
peace
to
every
one
that worketh
good,
to
the
Jew
first,
and
also
to
the
Greek.
\VS{11}For
there
is
no respect
of persons
with
God.
\VS{12}For whosoever
have
sinned
without
the
law,
shall
perish
without
the
law;
and whosoever
have
sinned
in
the
law,
shall
be
judged
by
the
law.
\VS{13}For
not
the
hearers
of
the
law
are
just
before
God,
but
the
doers
of
the
law
shall
be
justified.
\VS{14}For
when
the
Gentiles,
who
have
not
the
law,
do
by
nature
those
things
that
are
of
the
law;
these
having
not
the
law
are
a
law
to
themselves:
\VS{15}Who shew
the
work
of
the
law
written
in
their
hearts,
their
conscience
bearing
witness
to
them,
and
their
thoughts
between
themselves
accusing,
or
also
defending
one
another,
\VS{16}In
the
day
when
God
shall
judge
the
secrets
of
men
by
Jesus
Christ,
according
to
my
gospel.
\VS{17}But
if thou art called
a
Jew
and restest
in
the
law,
and makest thy
boast
of
God,
\VS{18}And knowest
his
will,
and approvest
the
more profitable
things, being
instructed
by
the
law,
\VS{19}Art
confident
that thou thyself art
a
guide
of
the
blind,
a
light
of
them
that
are
in
darkness,
\VS{20}An instructor
of
the
foolish,
a
teacher
of
infants,
having
the
form
of
knowledge
and
of
truth
in
the
law.
\VS{21}Thou
therefore
that teachest
another, teachest
not thyself: thou
that preachest
that men should
not
steal, stealest:
\VS{22}Thou
that sayest, men should
not
commit
adultery, committest
adultery: thou
that abhorrest
idols, committest sacrilege:
\VS{23}Thou
that makest thy
boast
of
the
law,
by
transgression
of
the
law dishonourest
God.
\VS{24}(For
the
name
of
God
through
you
is
blasphemed
among
the
Gentiles,
as
it
is
written.)
\VS{25}Circumcision profiteth
indeed,
if thou keep
the
law;
but
if thou
be
a
transgressor
of
the
law, thy
circumcision
is
made
uncircumcision.
\VS{26}If,
then,
the
uncircumcised
keep
the justices
of
the
law, shall
not
this
uncircumcision
be
counted
for
circumcision?
\VS{27}And
shall
not
that
which
by
nature
is
uncircumcision,
if
it fulfill
the
law,
judge thee,
who
by
the
letter
and
circumcision art
a
transgressor
of
the
law?
\VS{28}For
it
is
not
he
is
a
Jew,
who
is
so outwardly;
nor
is
that
circumcision
which
is outwardly
in
the
flesh:
\VS{29}But
he
is
a
Jew,
that
is
one
inwardly;
and
the
circumcision
is
that
of
the
heart,
in
the
spirit,
not
in
the
letter;
whose
praise
is
not
of
men,
but
of
God.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}What
advantage
then hath
the
Jew,
or
what
is
the profit
of
circumcision?
\VS{2}Much
every
way.
First
indeed,
because
the
words
of
God
were committed
to
them.
\VS{3}For
what
if
some
of
them
have
not believed?
shall
their
unbelief
make
the
faith
of
God
without effect?
God forbid.
\VS{4}But
God
is
true;
and
every
man
a
liar,
as
it
is
written,
That thou mayest
be
justified
in thy
words,
and mayest
overcome
when thou art
judged.
\VS{5}But
if
our
injustice
commend
the
justice
of
God,
what
shall
we
say?
Is
God
unjust,
who executeth
wrath?
\VS{6}(I speak according
to
man.)
God forbid:
otherwise
how
shall
God
judge
this
world?
\VS{7}For
if
the
truth
of
God hath
more
abounded
through
my
lie, unto
his
glory,
why
am
I
also
yet
judged
as
a
sinner?
\VS{8}And
not rather (as
we
are
slandered,
and
as
some affirm
that
we
say)
let
us
do
evil,
that
there
may
come
good?
whose damnation
is
just.
\VS{9}What
then?
Do
we excel
them?
No,
not
so.
For
we
have
charged
both
Jews,
and
Greeks,
that
they
are
all
under
sin.
\VS{10}As
it
is
written:
There
is
not
any
man
just.
\VS{11}There
is
none
that understandeth,
there
is
none
that seeketh after
God.
\VS{12}All
have
turned
out
of
the
way;
they
are
become unprofitable
together:
there
is
none
that doth
good,
there
is
not so much
as
one.
\VS{13}Their
throat
is an
open sepulchre;
with
their
tongues
they
have dealt deceitfully.
The venom
of
asps
is
under
their
lips.
\VS{14}Whose
mouth
is
full
of
cursing
and
bitterness:
\VS{15}Their
feet
swift
to
shed
blood:
\VS{16}Destruction
and
misery
in
their
ways:
\VS{17}And
the
way
of
peace
they
have
not
known:
\VS{18}There
is
no
fear
of
God
before
their
eyes.
\VS{19}Now
we
know,
that
what
things soever
the
law speaketh,
it speaketh
to
them
that
are
in
the
law;
that
every
mouth
may
be
stopped,
and
all
the
world
may
be
made subject
to
God.
\VS{20}Because
by
the
works
of
the
law
no
flesh shall
be
justified
before
him.
For
by
the
law
is
the
knowledge
of
sin.
\VS{21}But
now
without
the
law
the
justice
of
God
is
made
manifest, being
witnessed
by
the
law
and
the
prophets.
\VS{22}Even
the
justice
of
God,
by
faith
of
Jesus
Christ, unto
all
and
upon
all
them
that
believe
in
him:
for
there
is
no
distinction:
\VS{23}For
all
have
sinned,
and
do
need
the
glory
of
God.
\VS{24}Being
justified
freely
by
his
grace,
through
the
redemption,
that
is
in
Christ
Jesus,
\VS{25}Whom
God hath proposed
to
be
a
propitiation,
through
faith
in
his
blood,
to
the shewing
of
his
justice,
for
the remission
of former
sins,
\VS{26}Through
the
forbearance
of
God,
for
the shewing
of
his
justice
in
this
time;
that
he
himself
may
be
just,
and
the
justifier
of
him,
who
is
of
the
faith
of
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{27}Where
is
then thy
boasting?
It
is
excluded.
By
what
law?
Of
works?
No,
but
by
the
law
of
faith.
\VS{28}For
we
account
a
man
to
be
justified
by
faith,
without
the
works
of
the
law.
\VS{29}Is
he
the
God
of
the
Jews
only?
Is
he
not
also
of
the
Gentiles?
Yes,
of
the
Gentiles
also.
\VS{30}For
it
is
one
God,
that justifieth
circumcision
by
faith,
and
uncircumcision
through
faith.
\VS{31}Do
we,
then, destroy
the
law
through
faith? God forbid:
but
we
establish
the
law.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}What shall
we
say
then
that
Abraham hath
found,
who
is
our
father
according
to
the
flesh.
\VS{2}For
if
Abraham
were
justified
by
works,
he hath whereof
to
glory,
but
not
before
God.
\VS{3}For
what saith
the
scripture?
Abraham
believed
God,
and
it
was reputed
to
him unto
justice.
\VS{4}Now
to him
that worketh,
the
reward
is
not
reckoned
according
to
grace,
but
according
to debt.
\VS{5}But
to
him
that worketh
not,
yet believeth
in
him
that justifieth
the
ungodly,
his
faith
is reputed
to
justice, according
to
the
purpose
of
the grace
of
God.
\VS{6}As
David
also termeth
the
blessedness
of
a
man,
to
whom
God reputeth
justice
without
works:
\VS{7}Blessed
are
they
whose iniquities
are
forgiven,
and
whose
sins
are
covered.
\VS{8}Blessed
is
the
man
to
whom
the
Lord hath
not imputed
sin.
\VS{9}This
blessedness
then, doth
it remain
in
the
circumcision
only,
or
in
the
uncircumcision
also?
For
we
say
that unto
Abraham
faith
was reputed
to
justice.
\VS{10}How
then
was
it reputed?
When
he
was
in
circumcision,
or
in
uncircumcision?
Not
in
circumcision,
but
in
uncircumcision.
\VS{11}And
he
received
the
sign
of
circumcision,
a
seal
of
the
justice
of
the
faith,
which
he
had,
being
uncircumcised;
that
he
might
be
the
father
of
all
them
that
believe,
being
uncircumcised,
that unto
them
also
it
may
be reputed
to
justice:
\VS{12}And
might
be
the
father
of
circumcision;
not
to
them
only,
that
are
of
the
circumcision,
but
to
them
also
that
follow
the
steps
of
the faithful,
that
is
in
the
uncircumcision
of
our
father
Abraham.
\VS{13}For
not
through
the
law
was
the
promise
to
Abraham,
or
to
his
seed,
that
he should
be
heir
of
the
world;
but
through
the
justice
of
faith.
\VS{14}For
if
they
who
are
of
the
law
be
heirs,
faith
is
made
void,
the
promise
is
made
of
no effect.
\VS{15}For
the
law worketh
wrath.
For
where
there
is
no
law,
neither
is
there
transgression.
\VS{16}Therefore
is
it
of
faith,
that
according
to
grace
the
promise
might
be
firm
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,
\VS{17}(As
it
is
written:
I
have
made thee
a
father
of
many
nations,)
before
God,
whom
he
believed,
who quickeneth
the
dead;
and calleth
those
things
that
are
not,
as
those
that
are.
\VS{18}Who
against
hope
believed
in
hope;
that
he
might
be
made
the
father
of
many
nations,
according
to
that
which
was
said
to
him:
So shall thy
seed
be.
\VS{19}And
he
was
not
weak
in
faith;
neither did
he
consider
his
own
body
now
dead, whereas
he
was almost
an
hundred
years
old,
nor
the
dead
womb
of Sara.
\VS{20}In
the
promise
also
of
God
he staggered
not
by distrust;
but
was
strengthened
in
faith,
giving
glory
to
God:
\VS{21}Most
fully knowing,
that whatsoever
he
has
promised,
he
is
able
also
to
perform.
\VS{22}And
therefore
it
was reputed
to
him unto
justice.
\VS{23}Now
it
is
not
written
only
for
him,
that
it
was reputed
to
him unto justice,
\VS{24}But
also
for
us,
to
whom
it
shall
be reputed,
if
we
believe
in
him,
that
raised
up
Jesus
Christ,
our
Lord,
from
the
dead,
\VS{25}Who
was
delivered
up
for
our
sins,
and
rose
again
for
our
justification.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Being
justified
therefore
by
faith,
let
us
have
peace
with
God,
through
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ:
\VS{2}By
whom
also
we
have
access
through
faith
into
this
grace, wherein
we
stand,
and
glory
in
the
hope
of
the
glory
of
the sons
of
God.
\VS{3}And
not
only
so;
but
we
glory
also
in
tribulations,
knowing
that
tribulation worketh
patience;
\VS{4}And
patience trial;
and trial
hope;
\VS{5}And
hope confoundeth
not:
because
the charity
of
God
is
poured forth
in
our
hearts,
by
the
Holy Ghost,
who
is
given
to
us.
\VS{6}For
why
did
Christ,
when
as
yet
we
were
weak,
according
to
the
time,
die
for
the
ungodly?
\VS{7}For scarce
for
a
just
man
will
one
die;
yet
perhaps
for
a
good
man
some
one
would
dare
to
die.
\VS{8}But
God commendeth
his charity towards
us;
because
when
as
yet
we
were
sinners, according
to
the time,
\VS{9}Christ died
for
us;
much
more
therefore, being
now
justified
by
his
blood, shall
we
be
saved
from
wrath
through
him.
\VS{10}For
if,
when
we
were
enemies,
we
were
reconciled
to
God
by
the
death
of
his
Son;
much
more,
being
reconciled,
shall
we
be
saved
by
his
life.
\VS{11}And
not
only
so;
but
also
we
glory
in
God,
through
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
by
whom
we
have
now
received
reconciliation.
\VS{12}Wherefore
as
by
one
man
sin
entered
into
this
world,
and
by
sin
death;
and
so
death
passed
upon
all
men,
in
whom
all
have
sinned.
\VS{13}For
until
the
law
sin
was
in
the
world;
but
sin
was
not
imputed,
when
the
law
was
not.
\VS{14}But
death
reigned
from
Adam unto
Moses,
even
over
them
also
who
have
not
sinned
after
the similitude
of
the
transgression
of
Adam,
who
is
a figure
of
him
who
was
to
come.
\VS{15}But
not
as
the offence,
so
also
the
gift.
For
if
by
the offence
of
one,
many
died;
much
more
the
grace
of
God,
and
the
gift,
by
the
grace
of
one
man,
Jesus
Christ, hath
abounded unto
many.
\VS{16}And
not
as
it
was
by
one
sin,
so
also
is
the
gift.
For
judgment
indeed
was
by
one unto
condemnation;
but grace
is
of
many offences, unto
justification.
\VS{17}For
if
by
one man’s offence
death
reigned
through
one;
much
more
they
who
receive
abundance
of
grace,
and
of
the
gift,
and
of
justice,
shall
reign
in
life
through
one,
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{18}Therefore,
as
by
the offence
of
one, unto
all
men
to
condemnation;
so
also
by
the justice
of
one, unto
all
men
to
justification
of
life.
\VS{19}For
as
by
the
disobedience
of
one
man,
many
were
made
sinners;
so
also
by
the
obedience
of
one,
many
shall
be
made
just.
\VS{20}Now
the
law entered
in,
that
sin might abound.
And
where
sin
abounded,
grace
did
more abound.
\VS{21}That
as
sin hath
reigned
to
death;
so
also
grace
might
reign
by
justice unto
life everlasting,
through
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord.

\par }\Chap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}What shall
we
say,
then? shall
we
continue
in
sin,
that
grace
may abound?
\VS{2}God forbid.
For
we
that
are
dead
to
sin,
how shall
we
live
any
longer therein?
\VS{3}Know
you not
that
all
we,
who
are
baptized
in
Christ
Jesus,
are
baptized
in
his
death?
\VS{4}For
we
are
buried
together
with
him
by
baptism
into
death;
that
as
Christ
is
risen
from
the
dead
by
the
glory
of
the
Father,
so
we
also
may
walk
in
newness
of
life.
\VS{5}For
if
we
have
been planted
together
in
the
likeness
of
his
death,
we
shall
be
also
in
the
likeness
of
his
resurrection.
\VS{6}Knowing
this,
that our
old
man
is
crucified
with
him,
that
the
body
of
sin
may
be destroyed,
to
the
end
that
we
may
serve
sin
no
longer.
\VS{7}For
he
that
is
dead
is
justified
from
sin.
\VS{8}Now
if
we
be
dead
with
Christ,
we
believe
that
we
shall
live
also
together
with
Christ:
\VS{9}Knowing
that
Christ rising
again
from
the
dead, dieth
now
no
more,
death shall
no
more
have dominion
over
him.
\VS{10}For
in
that
he
died
to
sin,
he
died
once;
but
in
that
he liveth,
he liveth unto
God:
\VS{11}So
do
you
also reckon,
that
you
are
dead
to
sin,
but
alive unto
God,
in
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord.
\VS{12}Let
no
sin
therefore
reign
in
your
mortal
body,
so
as
to
obey
the
lusts thereof.
\VS{13}Neither yield ye
your
members
as
instruments
of
iniquity unto
sin;
but
present
yourselves
to
God,
as
those
that
are
alive
from
the
dead,
and
your
members
as
instruments
of
justice unto
God.
\VS{14}For
sin shall
not
have dominion
over
you;
for
you
are
not
under
the
law,
but
under
grace.
\VS{15}What
then? Shall
we
sin,
because
we
are
not
under
the
law,
but
under
grace? God forbid.
\VS{16}Know
you
not,
that
to
whom
you yield
yourselves
servants
to
obey,
his
servants
you
are
whom
you
obey,
whether
it
be
of
sin unto
death,
or
of
obedience unto
justice.
\VS{17}But
thanks
be
to
God,
that
you
were
the
servants
of
sin,
but
have
obeyed
from
the
heart, unto
that form
of doctrine,
into
which
you
have
been
delivered.
\VS{18}Being
then
freed
from
sin,
we
have been
made servants
of
justice.
\VS{19}I
speak
an
human
thing,
because
of
the
infirmity
of
your
flesh.
For
as
you
have yielded
your
members
to serve
uncleanness
and iniquity, unto iniquity;
so
now yield
your
members
to serve
justice, unto
sanctification.
\VS{20}For
when
you
were
the
servants
of
sin,
you
were
free
men
to
justice.
\VS{21}What
fruit
therefore
had
you
then
in
those
things,
of
which
you
are
now
ashamed?
For
the
end
of
them
is
death.
\VS{22}But
now
being
made
free
from
sin,
and
become servants
to
God,
you
have
your
fruit unto
sanctification,
and
the
end
life everlasting.
\VS{23}For
the
wages
of
sin
is
death.
But
the grace
of
God,
life everlasting,
in
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord.

\par }\Chap{7}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Know
you not,
brethren, (for
I
speak
to
them
that
know
the
law,)
that
the
law hath dominion
over
a
man,
as
long
as
it liveth?
\VS{2}For
the
woman
that hath
an
husband, whilst
her
husband liveth
is
bound
to
the
law.
But
if
her
husband be
dead,
she
is loosed
from
the
law
of
her
husband.
\VS{3}Therefore, whilst
her
husband liveth,
she shall
be
called
an
adulteress,
if
she
be
with
another
man:
but
if
her
husband
be
dead,
she
is delivered
from
the
law
of
her
husband;
so
that
she
is
not
an
adulteress,
if
she
be
with
another
man.
\VS{4}Therefore,
my
brethren,
you
also
are
become
dead
to
the
law,
by
the
body
of
Christ;
that
you
may
belong
to
another,
who
is
risen
again
from
the
dead,
that
we
may
bring forth
fruit
to
God.
\VS{5}For
when
we
were
in
the
flesh,
the
passions
of
sins,
which
were
by
the
law,
did
work
in
our
members,
to
bring forth
fruit unto
death.
\VS{6}But
now
we
are loosed
from
the
law
of
death, wherein
we
were detained;
so
that
we
should
serve
in
newness
of
spirit,
and
not
in
the
oldness
of
the
letter.
\VS{7}What shall
we
say,
then?
Is
the
law
sin?
God forbid.
But
I
do
not
know
sin,
but
by
the
law;
for
I
had
not
known concupiscence,
if
the
law
did
not
say: Thou shalt
not
covet.
\VS{8}But
sin
taking
occasion
by
the
commandment, wrought
in
me
all manner
of concupiscence.
For
without
the
law
sin
was
dead.
\VS{9}And
I
lived
some
time
without
the
law.
But
when
the
commandment
came,
sin revived,
\VS{10}And
I
died.
And
the
commandment
that
was ordained
to
life,
the
same
was
found
to
be unto
death
to
me.
\VS{11}For
sin,
taking
occasion
by
the
commandment, seduced
me,
and
by
it
killed
me.
\VS{12}Wherefore
the
law
indeed
is
holy,
and
the
commandment
holy,
and
just,
and
good.
\VS{13}Was
that
then
which
is
good,
made
death unto
me? God forbid.
But
sin,
that
it
may
appear
sin,
by
that
which
is
good, wrought
death
in
me;
that
sin,
by
the
commandment,
might
become
sinful above
measure.
\VS{14}For
we
know
that
the
law
is
spiritual;
but
I
am carnal,
sold
under
sin.
\VS{15}For
that
which
I
work,
I
understand
not.
For
I
do
not
that good
which
I
will;
but
the evil
which
I
hate,
that
I
do.
\VS{16}If
then
I
do
that
which
I
will
not,
I consent
to
the
law,
that
it
is
good.
\VS{17}Now
then
it
is
no
more
I
that do
it,
but
sin
that dwelleth
in
me.
\VS{18}For
I
know
that
there dwelleth
not
in
me,
that
is
to
say,
in
my
flesh,
that
which
is
good.
For
to
will,
is
present
with
me;
but
to accomplish
that
which
is
good,
I find
not.
\VS{19}For
the
good
which
I
will,
I
do
not;
but
the
evil
which
I
will
not,
that
I
do.
\VS{20}Now
if
I
do
that
which
I
will
not,
it
is
no
more
I
that
do
it,
but
sin
that dwelleth
in
me.
\VS{21}I
find
then
a
law,
that
when
I
have
a
will
to
do
good,
evil
is
present
with
me.
\VS{22}For
I am delighted
with
the
law
of
God,
according
to
the inward
man:
\VS{23}But
I
see
another
law
in
my
members, fighting
against
the
law
of
my
mind,
and captivating
me
in
the
law
of
sin,
that
is
in
my
members.
\VS{24}Unhappy
man
that
I
am,
who
shall
deliver
me
from
the
body
of
this
death?
\VS{25}The
grace
of
God,
by
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord.
Therefore,
I
myself,
with
the
mind
serve
the
law
of
God;
but
with
the
flesh,
the
law
of
sin.

\par }\Chap{8}{\PP \VerseOne{1}There
is
now
therefore
no
condemnation
to
them
that
are
in
Christ
Jesus,
who walk
not according
to
the flesh.
\VS{2}For
the
law
of
the
spirit
of
life,
in
Christ
Jesus, hath delivered me
from
the
law
of
sin
and
of
death.
\VS{3}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
of
sin, hath
condemned
sin
in
the
flesh;
\VS{4}That
the
justification
of
the
law
might
be
fulfilled
in
us,
who
walk
not
according
to
the
flesh,
but
according
to
the
spirit.
\VS{5}For
they
that
are
according
to
the
flesh,
mind
the
things
that
are
of
the
flesh;
but
they
that
are
according
to
the
spirit,
mind
the
things
that
are
of
the
spirit.
\VS{6}For
the wisdom
of
the
flesh
is
death;
but
the wisdom
of
the
spirit
is
life
and
peace.
\VS{7}Because
the wisdom
of
the
flesh
is
an enemy
to
God;
for
it
is
not
subject
to
the
law
of
God,
neither
can
it
be.
\VS{8}And
they
who
are
in
the
flesh,
cannot
please
God.
\VS{9}But
you
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.
\VS{10}And
if
Christ
be
in
you,
the
body
indeed
is
dead,
because
of
sin;
but
the
spirit liveth,
because
of justification.
\VS{11}And
if
the
Spirit
of
him
that
raised
up
Jesus
from
the
dead,
dwell
in
you;
he
that
raised
up
Jesus
Christ
from
the
dead,
shall quicken
also
your
mortal
bodies,
because
of
his
Spirit
that dwelleth
in
you.
\VS{12}Therefore,
brethren,
we
are
debtors,
not
to
the
flesh,
to
live
according
to
the
flesh.
\VS{13}For
if
you
live
according
to
the
flesh,
you shall
die:
but
if
by
the
Spirit
you mortify
the
deeds
of
the
flesh,
you shall
live.
\VS{14}For whosoever
are
led
by
the
Spirit
of
God,
they
are
the
sons
of
God.
\VS{15}For
you
have
not
received
the
spirit
of bondage
again
in
fear;
but
you
have
received
the
spirit
of
adoption
of
sons, whereby
we
cry:
Abba (Father).
\VS{16}For
the
Spirit
himself giveth testimony
to
our
spirit,
that
we
are
the
sons
of
God.
\VS{17}And
if
sons,
heirs
also;
heirs
indeed
of
God,
and joint
heirs
with
Christ:
yet
so,
if
we
suffer
with
him,
that
we
may
be
also
glorified
with
him.
\VS{18}For
I reckon
that
the
sufferings
of
this
time
are
not
worthy
to
be compared
with
the
glory
to
come,
that shall
be
revealed
in
us.
\VS{19}For
the
expectation
of
the
creature waiteth
for
the
revelation
of
the
sons
of
God.
\VS{20}For
the
creature
was made
subject
to
vanity,
not
willingly,
but
by
reason
of
him
that made
it
subject,
in
hope:
\VS{21}Because
the
creature
also
itself
shall
be delivered
from
the servitude
of
corruption,
into
the
liberty
of
the
glory
of
the
children
of
God.
\VS{22}For
we
know
that
every
creature groaneth
and travaileth
in pain,
even till
now.
\VS{23}And
not
only
it,
but
ourselves
also,
who
have
the firstfruits
of
the
Spirit,
even
we
ourselves
groan
within
ourselves,
waiting
for
the
adoption
of
the
sons
of
God,
the
redemption
of
our
body.
\VS{24}For
we
are
saved
by
hope.
But
hope
that
is
seen,
is
not
hope.
For
what
a man seeth,
why doth
he
hope
for?
\VS{25}But
if
we
hope
for
that
which
we
see
not,
we
wait
for
it
with
patience.
\VS{26}Likewise
the
Spirit
also helpeth
our
infirmity.
For
we
know
not
what
we
should
pray
for
as
we
ought;
but
the
Spirit
himself asketh
for us
with unspeakable
groanings.
\VS{27}And
he
that searcheth
the
hearts, knoweth
what
the
Spirit desireth;
because
he asketh
for
the
saints
according
to
God.
\VS{28}And
we
know
that
to
them
that
love
God,
all
things
work
together unto
good,
to
such
as,
according
to
his
purpose,
are
called
to
be saints.
\VS{29}For
whom
he
foreknew,
he
also predestinated
to
be made conformable
to
the
image
of
his
Son;
that
he
might
be
the
firstborn amongst
many
brethren.
\VS{30}And
whom
he predestinated,
them
he
also
called.
And
whom
he
called,
them
he
also
justified.
And
whom
he
justified,
them
he
also
glorified.
\VS{31}What
shall
we
then
say
to
these
things?
If
God
be
for
us,
who
is
against
us?
\VS{32}He
that spared
not
even
his
own
Son,
but
delivered
him
up
for
us
all,
how hath
he
not
also,
with
him,
given
us
all
things?
\VS{33}Who
shall accuse
against
the
elect
of
God?
God
that justifieth.
\VS{34}Who
is
he
that
shall
condemn?
Christ
Jesus
that
died, yea
that
is
risen
also
again;
who
is
at
the
right
hand
of
God,
who
also maketh
intercession
for
us.
\VS{35}Who then
shall
separate us
from
the
love
of
Christ?
Shall
tribulation?
or
distress?
or
famine?
or
nakedness?
or
danger?
or
persecution?
or
the
sword?
\VS{36}(As it
is
written:
For thy

we

put
to
death
all

long.
We
are accounted
as
sheep
for
the
slaughter.)
\VS{37}But
in
all
these
things
we overcome,
because
of
him
that hath
loved
us.

I
am
sure
that
neither
death,
nor
life,
nor

nor
principalities,
nor

nor

present,
nor
things
to
come,
nor might,
\VS{39}Nor
height,
nor
depth,
nor
any
other

be
able
to
separate
us
from

which
is
in

Jesus
our

the
Holy Ghost:
\VS{2}That
I
have
great
sadness,
and continual
sorrow
in
my
heart.
\VS{3}For
I
wished
myself
to
be
an anathema
from
Christ,
for
my
brethren,
who
are
my kinsmen
according
to
the
flesh,
\VS{4}Who
are
Israelites,
to
whom belongeth
the
adoption
as
of children,
and
the
glory,
and
the testament,
and
the
giving
of
the
law,
and
the
service
of God,
and
the
promises:
\VS{5}Whose
are
the
fathers,
and
of
whom
is
Christ,
according
to
the
flesh,
who
is
over
all
things,
God
blessed
for
ever.
Amen.
\VS{6}Not
as
though
the
word
of
God hath miscarried.
For
all
are
not Israelites
that
are
of
Israel:
\VS{7}Neither
are
all
they
that
are
the
seed
of
Abraham,
children;
but
in
Isaac
shall thy
seed
be
called:
\VS{8}That
is
to say,
not
they
that
are
the
children
of
the
flesh,
are
the
children
of
God; buy
they,
that
are
the
children
of
the
promise,
are accounted
for
the
seed.
\VS{9}For
this
is
the
word
of
promise:
According
to
this
time
will
I
come;
and Sara
shall
have
a
son.
\VS{10}And
not
only
she.
But
when Rebecca
also
had
conceived
at once,
of
Isaac
our
father.
\VS{11}For
when
the
children
were
not
yet
born,
nor
had
done
any
good
or
evil (that
the
purpose
of
God,
according
to
election,
might
stand,)
\VS{12}Not
of
works,
but
of
him
that calleth,
it
was
said
to
her:
The elder
shall
serve
the
younger.
\VS{13}As
it
is
written:
Jacob
I
have
loved,
but
Esau
I
have
hated.
\VS{14}What
shall
we
say
then?
Is
there
injustice
with
God?
God forbid.
\VS{15}For
he saith
to
Moses:
I
will
have
mercy
on
whom
I
will
have
mercy;
and
I
will shew
mercy
to
whom
I
will shew
mercy.
\VS{16}So
then
it
is
not
of
him
that willeth,
nor
of
him
that runneth,
but
of
God
that sheweth
mercy.
\VS{17}For
the
scripture saith
to Pharao:
To
this
purpose
have
I
raised thee,
that
I
may shew
my
power
in thee,
and
that
my
name
may
be declared
throughout
all
the
earth.
\VS{18}Therefore
he hath
mercy
on
whom
he
will;
and
whom
he
will,
he hardeneth.
\VS{19}Thou wilt
say
therefore
to
me:
Why doth
he
then
find
fault?
for
who resisteth
his
will?
\VS{20}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?
\VS{21}Or hath
not
the
potter
power
over
the
clay,
of
the
same
lump,
to
make
one
vessel unto honour,
and another unto dishonour?
\VS{22}What
if
God,
willing
to shew
his
wrath,
and
to
make
his
power
known,
endured
with
much
patience
vessels
of
wrath, fitted
for
destruction,
\VS{23}That
he
might shew
the
riches
of
his
glory
on
the
vessels
of
mercy,
which
he hath
prepared unto
glory?
\VS{24}Even
us,
whom
also
he hath
called,
nor
only
of
the
Jews,
but
also
of
the
Gentiles.
\VS{25}As
in Osee
he saith:
I
will
call
that
which
was
not
my
people,
my
people;
and her
that
was
not
beloved,
beloved;
and her
that
had
not obtained mercy,
one
that hath obtained mercy.
\VS{26}And
it
shall
be,
in
the
place
where
it
was
said unto
them,
You
are
not
my
people;
there
they
shall
be
called
the
sons
of
the
living
God.
\VS{27}And Isaias crieth
out
concerning
Israel:
If
the
number
of
the children
of
Israel
be
as
the
sand
of
the
sea,
a
remnant shall
be
saved.
\VS{28}For
he
shall finish
his
word,
and cut
it short
in justice;
because
a short
word
shall
the
Lord
make
upon
the
earth.
\VS{29}And
as Isaias foretold:
Unless
the
Lord
of
Sabaoth
had
left us
a
seed,
we
had
been
made
as
Sodom,
and
we
had
been
like unto Gomorrha.
\VS{30}What
then shall
we
say?
That
the
Gentiles,
who followed
not
after
justice,
have
attained
to
justice,
even
the
justice
that
is
of
faith.
\VS{31}But
Israel,
by following
after
the
law
of
justice,
is
not
come unto
the
law
of
justice.
\VS{32}Why
so?
Because
they sought
it
not
by
faith,
but
as
it
were
of
works.
For
they
stumbled
at
the stumblingstone.
\VS{33}As
it
is
written:
Behold
I
lay
in Sion
a stumblingstone
and
a
rock
of scandal;
and whosoever believeth
in
him
shall
not
be confounded.

\par }\Chap{10}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Brethren,
the
will
of
my
heart,
indeed,
and
my
prayer
to
God,
is
for
them unto
salvation.
\VS{2}For
I
bear
them
witness,
that
they
have
a
zeal
of
God,
but
not
according
to
knowledge.
\VS{3}For
they,
not
knowing
the
justice
of
God,
and
seeking
to
establish
their
own,
have
not submitted
themselves
to
the
justice
of
God.
\VS{4}For
the
end
of
the
law
is
Christ, unto
justice
to
every
one
that believeth.
\VS{5}For
Moses
wrote,
that
the
justice
which
is
of
the
law,
the
man
that
shall
do
it,
shall
live
by
it.
\VS{6}But
the
justice
which
is
of
faith, speaketh
thus:
Say
not
in thy
heart,
Who
shall
ascend
into
heaven?
that
is,
to
bring
Christ
down;
\VS{7}Or
who
shall
descend
into
the deep?
that
is,
to
bring
up
Christ
again
from
the
dead.
\VS{8}But
what saith
the
scripture?
The
word
is nigh thee,
even
in thy
mouth,
and
in thy
heart.
This
is
the
word
of
faith,
which
we
preach.
\VS{9}For
if thou
confess
with thy
mouth
the
Lord
Jesus,
and
believe
in thy
heart
that
God hath
raised
him
up
from
the
dead, thou shalt
be
saved.
\VS{10}For,
with
the
heart,
we
believe unto
justice;
but,
with
the
mouth, confession
is
made unto
salvation.
\VS{11}For
the
scripture saith: Whosoever believeth
in
him, shall
not
be confounded.
\VS{12}For
there
is
no
distinction
of
the
Jew
and
the
Greek:
for
the
same
is
Lord
over
all,
rich unto
all
that
call
upon
him.
\VS{13}For whosoever
shall
call upon
the
name
of
the
Lord,
shall
be
saved.
\VS{14}How
then
shall
they
call
on
him,
in
whom
they
have
not
believed?
Or
how
shall
they
believe
him,
of
whom
they
have
not
heard?
And
how
shall
they
hear,
without
a
preacher?
\VS{15}And
how shall
they
preach
unless
they
be
sent,
as
it
is
written:
How
beautiful
are
the
feet
of
them
that
preach
the
gospel
of peace,
of
them
that
bring glad tidings
of
good
things!
\VS{16}But
all
do
not
obey
the
gospel.
For Isaias saith:
Lord,
who hath
believed
our
report?
\VS{17}Faith
then cometh
by
hearing;
and
hearing
by
the
word
of
Christ.
\VS{18}But
I
say:
Have
they
not
heard?
Yes, verily,
their sound hath
gone
forth
into
all
the
earth,
and
their
words unto
the
ends
of
the
whole
world.
\VS{19}But
I
say: Hath
not
Israel
known?
First,
Moses saith:
I
will
provoke
you
to
jealousy
by
that which
is
not
a
nation;
by
a
foolish
nation
I
will
anger
you.
\VS{20}But Isaias
is
bold,
and saith:
I
was
found
by
them
that
did
not
seek
me:
I
appeared openly
to
them
that
asked
not
after
me.
\VS{21}But
to
Israel
he saith:
All
the
day
long
have
I spread
my
hands
to
a
people
that believeth
not,
and contradicteth
me.

\par }\Chap{11}{\PP \VerseOne{1}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.
\VS{2}God hath
not cast
away
his
people,
which
he
foreknew.
Know
you
not
what
the
scripture saith
of Elias;
how
he calleth
on
God
against
Israel?
\VS{3}Lord,
they
have slain thy
prophets,
they
have dug
down thy
altars;
and
I
am left
alone,
and
they
seek
my
life.
\VS{4}But
what saith
the
divine answer
to
him?
I
have
left
me
seven
thousand
men,
that
have
not
bowed
their
knees
to
Baal.
\VS{5}Even
so
then
at
this
present
time
also,
there
is
a
remnant saved
according
to
the
election
of
grace.
\VS{6}And
if
by
grace,
it
is
not
now
by
works:
otherwise
grace
is
no
more
grace.
\VS{7}What
then?
That
which
Israel
sought,
he hath
not
obtained:
but
the
election hath
obtained
it;
and
the
rest
have
been blinded.
\VS{8}As
it
is
written:
God hath
given
them
the
spirit
of insensibility;
eyes
that
they
should
not
see;
and
ears
that
they
should
not
hear,
until
this present
day.
\VS{9}And
David saith:
Let
their
table
be
made
a
snare,
and
a
trap,
and
a
stumbling
block,
and
a recompense unto
them.
\VS{10}Let
their
eyes
be
darkened,
that
they
may
not
see:
and bow down
their back
always.
\VS{11}I
say
then,
have
they
so stumbled,
that
they
should
fall?
God forbid.
But
by
their offence,
salvation
is
come
to
the
Gentiles,
that
they
may
be emulous
of
them.
\VS{12}Now
if
the offence
of
them
be
the
riches
of
the
world,
and
the diminution
of
them,
the
riches
of
the
Gentiles;
how
much
more
the fulness
of
them?
\VS{13}For
I
say
to
you,
Gentiles:
as
long
indeed
as
I
am
the
apostle
of
the
Gentiles,
I
will honour
my
ministry,
\VS{14}If,
by
any
means,
I
may
provoke
to emulation
them
who
are
my
flesh,
and
may
save
some
of
them.
\VS{15}For
if
the
loss
of
them
be
the
reconciliation
of
the
world,
what shall
the receiving
of
them
be,
but
life
from
the
dead?
\VS{16}For
if
the firstfruit
be
holy,
so
is
the
lump
also:
and
if
the
root
be
holy,
so
are
the
branches.
\VS{17}And
if
some
of
the
branches
be
broken,
and thou,
being
a
wild
olive, art ingrafted
in
them,
and art
made
partaker
of
the
root,
and
of
the fatness
of
the
olive
tree,
\VS{18}Boast
not
against
the
branches.
But
if thou
boast, thou bearest
not
the
root,
but
the
root thee.
\VS{19}Thou wilt
say
then:
The
branches
were
broken
off,
that
I
might
be
grafted
in.
\VS{20}Well:
because
of
unbelief
they
were
broken
off.
But thou standest
by
faith:
be
not highminded,
but
fear.
\VS{21}For
if
God hath
not spared
the
natural
branches, fear lest perhaps
he
also
spare
not thee.
\VS{22}See
then
the goodness
and
the
severity
of
God: towards
them
indeed
that
are
fallen,
the
severity;
but towards thee,
the goodness
of
God,
if thou abide
in goodness,
otherwise thou
also shalt
be
cut
off.
\VS{23}And
they
also,
if
they abide
not still
in
unbelief,
shall
be
grafted
in:
for
God
is
able
to graft
them
in
again.
\VS{24}For
if thou wert
cut
out
of
the
wild
olive
tree,
which
is
natural
to thee;
and,
contrary
to
nature,
were
grafted
into
the good
olive
tree;
how
much
more
shall
they
that
are
the
natural branches,
be
grafted
into
their
own
olive
tree?
\VS{25}For
I
would
not
have
you
ignorant,
brethren,
of
this
mystery, (lest
you
should
be
wise
in
your
own conceits),
that blindness
in
part
has
happened
in
Israel,
until
the fulness
of
the
Gentiles
should
come
in.
\VS{26}And
so
all
Israel
should
be
saved,
as
it
is
written: There
shall
come
out
of Sion,
he
that
shall
deliver,
and
shall
turn
away
ungodliness
from
Jacob.
\VS{27}And
this
is
to
them
my
covenant:
when
I
shall
take
away
their
sins.
\VS{28}As concerning
the
gospel,
indeed,
they
are
enemies
for
your
sake:
but
as touching
the
election,
they
are most
dear
for
the
sake
of
the
fathers.
\VS{29}For
the
gifts
and
the
calling
of
God
are
without repentance.
\VS{30}For
as
you
also
in
times past did
not believe
God,
but
now
have obtained
mercy, through their unbelief;
\VS{31}So
these
also
now
have
not believed,
for
your
mercy,
that
they
also
may obtain
mercy.
\VS{32}For
God hath concluded
all
in unbelief,
that
he
may
have
mercy
on
all.
\VS{33}O
the
depth
of
the
riches
of
the
wisdom
and
of
the
knowledge
of
God!
How incomprehensible
are
his
judgments,
and
how
unsearchable
his
ways!
\VS{34}For
who hath
known
the
mind
of
the
Lord?
Or
who hath
been
his counsellor?
\VS{35}Or
who hath
first
given
to
him,
and recompense
shall
be made
him?
\VS{36}For
of
him,
and
by
him,
and
in
him,
are
all
things:
to
him
be
glory
for
ever.
Amen.

\VS{7}Render therefore
to
all
men
their dues. Tribute,
to
whom tribute
is
due:
custom,
to
whom
custom:
fear,
to
whom
fear: honour,
to
whom honour.
\VS{8}Owe
no
man
any thing,
but
to
love
one
another.
For
he
that loveth
his neighbour, hath
fulfilled
the
law.
\VS{9}For 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 comprised
in
this
word, Thou shalt
love thy neighbour
as thyself.
\VS{10}The
love
of our neighbour worketh
no
evil.
Love
therefore
is
the fulfilling
of
the
law.
\VS{11}And
that
knowing
the
season;
that
it
is
now
the
hour
for
us
to
rise
from
sleep.
For
now
our
salvation
is
nearer
than
when
we
believed.
\VS{12}The
night
is passed,
and
the
day
is
at
hand.
Let us
therefore cast off
the
works
of
darkness,
and
put
on
the armour
of
light.
\VS{13}Let
us
walk honestly,
as
in
the
day:
not
in rioting
and
drunkenness,
not
in chambering
and impurities,
not
in contention
and envy:
\VS{14}But
put ye
on
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
and
make
not
provision
for
the
flesh
in its concupiscences.

\par }\Chap{14}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
him
that
is
weak
in
faith, take unto
you:
not
in disputes
about
thoughts.
\VS{2}For
one believeth
that
he
may
eat
all
things:
but
he
that
is
weak, let
him
eat herbs.
\VS{3}Let
not
him
that eateth,
despise
him
that eateth
not:
and
he
that eateth
not,
let
him
not
judge
him
that eateth.
For
God hath
taken
him
to
him.
\VS{4}Who art thou
that judgest
another
man’s
servant?
To
his
own
lord
he standeth
or falleth.
And
he
shall
stand:
for
God
is
able
to
make
him
stand.
\VS{5}For
one judgeth between
day
and
day:
and
another judgeth
every
day:
let
every
man abound
in
his
own sense.
\VS{6}He
that regardeth
the
day, regardeth
it unto
the
Lord.
And
he
that eateth, eateth
to
the
Lord:
for
he giveth
thanks
to
God.
And
he
that eateth
not,
to
the
Lord
he eateth
not,
and giveth
thanks
to
God.
\VS{7}For
none
of us liveth
to
himself;
and
no
man dieth
to
himself.
\VS{8}For
whether
we
live,
we
live unto
the
Lord;
or
whether
we
die,
we
die unto
the
Lord.
Therefore,
whether
we
live,
or
whether
we
die,
we
are
the
Lord’s.
\VS{9}For
to
this
end
Christ
died
and rose
again;
that
he
might
be
Lord
both
of
the
dead
and
of
the
living.
\VS{10}But thou,
why judgest thou thy
brother?
or thou,
why dost thou
despise thy
brother?
For
we
shall
all
stand
before
the
judgment
seat
of Christ.
\VS{11}For
it
is
written:
As
I
live, saith
the
Lord,
every
knee
shall
bow
to
me,
and
every
tongue
shall
confess
to
God.
\VS{12}Therefore
every
one
of
us
shall render
account
to
God
for
himself.
\VS{13}Let us
not
therefore
judge
one
another
any
more.
But
judge
this
rather,
that
you
put
not
a stumblingblock
or
a scandal
in
your
brother’s
way.
\VS{14}I
know,
and
am
confident
in
the
Lord
Jesus,
that
nothing
is
unclean
of
itself;
but
to
him
that esteemeth
any
thing
to
be
unclean,
to
him
it
is
unclean.
\VS{15}For
if,
because
of thy
meat, thy
brother
be
grieved, thou walkest
not now
according
to charity.
Destroy
not
him
with thy
meat,
for
whom
Christ
died.
\VS{16}Let
not
then our
good
be
evil
spoken
of.
\VS{17}For
the
kingdom
of
God
is
not
meat
and
drink;
but
justice,
and
peace,
and
joy
in
the
Holy Ghost.
\VS{18}For
he
that
in
this serveth
Christ, pleaseth
God,
and
is
approved
of
men.
\VS{19}Therefore
let
us follow
after
the
things
that
are
of
peace;
and keep
the
things
that
are
of
edification
one towards
another.
\VS{20}Destroy
not
the
work
of
God
for
meat.
All
things
indeed
are
clean:
but
it
is
evil
for
that
man
who eateth
with offence.
\VS{21}It
is
good
not
to
eat flesh,
and
not
to
drink
wine,
nor
any
thing whereby thy
brother
is
offended,
or scandalized,
or made
weak.
\VS{22}Hast thou
faith?
Have
it
to thyself
before
God.
Blessed
is
he
that condemneth
not
himself
in
that
which
he alloweth.
\VS{23}But
he
that discerneth,
if
he
eat,
is
condemned;
because
not
of
faith.
For
all
that
is
not
of
faith
is
sin.

\par }\Chap{15}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
we
that
are stronger,
ought
to
bear
the infirmities
of
the weak,
and
not
to
please
ourselves.
\VS{2}Let
every
one
of
you
please
his neighbour unto
good,
to
edification.
\VS{3}For
Christ
did
not
please
himself,
but
as
it
is
written:
The
reproaches
of
them
that
reproached thee,
fell
upon
me.
\VS{4}For
what
things soever
were
written,
were
written
for
our learning:
that
through
patience
and
the
comfort
of
the
scriptures,
we
might
have
hope.
\VS{5}Now
the
God
of
patience
and
of
comfort
grant
you
to
be
of
one
mind
one towards
another,
according
to
Jesus
Christ:
\VS{6}That
with
one
mind,
and
with
one
mouth,
you
may
glorify
God
and
the
Father
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{7}Wherefore
receive
one
another,
as
Christ
also hath
received
you unto
the honour
of
God.
\VS{8}For
I
say
that
Christ
Jesus
was
minister
of
the
circumcision
for
the
truth
of
God,
to
confirm
the
promises
made unto
the
fathers.
\VS{9}But
that
the
Gentiles
are
to
glorify
God
for
his
mercy,
as
it
is
written:
Therefore
will
I
confess
to thee, O
Lord,
among
the
Gentiles,
and
will
sing
to thy
name.
\VS{10}And
again
he saith:
Rejoice, ye
Gentiles,
with
his
people.
\VS{11}And
again:
Praise
the
Lord,
all ye
Gentiles;
and magnify
him,
all ye
people.
\VS{12}And
again Isaias saith:
There
shall
be
a
root
of
Jesse;
and
he
that
shall
rise
up
to
rule
the
Gentiles,
in
him
the
Gentiles
shall
hope.
\VS{13}Now
the
God
of
hope
fill
you
with
all
joy
and
peace
in
believing;
that
you
may
abound
in
hope,
and
in
the
power
of
the
Holy Ghost.
\VS{14}And
I
myself
also,
my
brethren,
am assured
of
you,
that
you
also
are
full
of love, replenished
with
all
knowledge,
so
that
you
are
able
to
admonish
one
another.
\VS{15}But
I
have
written
to
you, brethren, more
boldly
in
some sort,
as
it
were
putting
you
in mind:
because
of
the
grace
which
is
given
me
from
God.
\VS{16}That
I
should
be
the
minister
of
Christ
Jesus
among
the
Gentiles; sanctifying
the
gospel
of
God,
that
the oblation
of
the
Gentiles
may
be
made
acceptable
and
sanctified
in
the
Holy Ghost.
\VS{17}I
have
therefore glory
in
Christ
Jesus towards
God.
\VS{18}For
I
dare
not
to
speak
of
any
of
those
things
which
Christ worketh
not
by
me,
for
the
obedience
of
the
Gentiles,
by
word
and
deed,
\VS{19}By
the virtue
of
signs
and
wonders,
in
the
power
of
the Holy Ghost,
so
that
from
Jerusalem
round
about
as
far
as unto
Illyricum,
I
have replenished
the
gospel
of
Christ.
\VS{20}And
I
have
so
preached
this
gospel,
not
where
Christ
was
named,
lest
I
should
build
upon
another
man’s
foundation.
\VS{21}But
as
it
is
written:
They
to
whom
he
was
not spoken
of,
shall
see,
and
they
that
have
not
heard
shall
understand.
\VS{22}For
which cause
also
I
was
hindered
very
much
from
coming
to
you,
and
have
been kept away till
now.
\VS{23}But
now
having
no
more
place
in
these countries,
and
having
a
great desire
these
many
years past
to
come unto
you,
\VS{24}When
I
shall begin
to take
my
journey
into
Spain,
I
hope
that
as
I pass,
I
shall
see
you,
and
be
brought
on
my
way thither
by
you,
if
first,
in
part,
I
shall
have enjoyed
you:
\VS{25}But
now
I shall
go
to
Jerusalem,
to
minister unto
the
saints.
\VS{26}For
it hath
pleased
them
of
Macedonia
and
Achaia
to
make
a
contribution
for
the
poor
of
the
saints
that
are
in
Jerusalem.
\VS{27}For
it hath
pleased
them;
and
they
are
their
debtors.
For
if
the
Gentiles
have
been made partakers
of
their
spiritual
things,
they
ought
also
in carnal
things
to
minister
to
them.
\VS{28}When
therefore
I
shall
have
accomplished
this,
and consigned
to
them
this
fruit,
I
will come
by
you
into
Spain.
\VS{29}And
I
know,
that
when
I
come
to
you,
I shall
come
in
the
abundance
of
the
blessing
of
the gospel
of
Christ.
\VS{30}I beseech
you
therefore,
brethren,
through
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
and
by
the charity
of
the Holy Ghost,
that
you help
me
in
your
prayers
for
me
to
God,
\VS{31}That
I
may
be
delivered
from
the unbelievers
that
are
in
Judea,
and
that
the oblation
of
my
service
may
be
acceptable
in
Jerusalem
to
the
saints.
\VS{32}That
I
may
come
to
you
with
joy,
by
the
will
of
God,
and
may
be refreshed
with
you.
\VS{33}Now
the
God
of
peace
be
with
you
all.
Amen.
