8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who awalk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of bthe Spirit of life in Christ Jesus chath made me free from dthe law of sin and death. 3 For ewhat the law could not do, in that fit was weak through the flesh, gGod sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and ||for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 That hthe righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, awho walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5 For ithey that are after the flesh do jmind kthe things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit lthe things of the Spirit. 6 For †to be carnally minded is mdeath; but †to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because †the carnal mind is nenmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, oneither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, pif so be that qthe Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not qthe Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but rthe Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of shim that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, the that raised up Christ from the dead ushall also quicken your mortal bodies ||xby his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, ynot to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For zif ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do amortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as bare led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For cye have not received dthe spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of eadoption, whereby we cry, fAbba, Father. 16 gThe Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are hthe children of God: 17 And if children, then iheirs; iheirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; kif so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I lreckon that mthe sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with nthe glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the oearnest expectation of the creature pwaiteth for ppthe manifestation of the sons of God. 20 For qthe creature was made subject to rvanity, not willingly, but sby reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be tdelivered from the bondage of ucorruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that ||the vwhole creation wgroaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23 And xnot only they, but ourselves also, gwhich have ythe firstfruits of the Spirit, zeven we ourselves groan within ourselves, awaiting for bthe adoption, to wit, the credemption of our body. 24 For we are saved by hope: but dhope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience await for it. 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for ewe know not what we should pray for as we ought: but fthe Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And ghe that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is hthe mind of the Spirit, ||because ihe maketh intercession for the saints jaccording to the will of God. 28 And we know that kall things work together lfor good to them that love God, to them mwho are the called according to his npurpose. 29 For whom he did oforeknow, he also did ppredestinate to be qconformed to rthe image of his Son, that he might be sthe firstborn among many tbrethren. 30 Moreover whom he did ppredestinate, them he also ucalled: and whom he called, them he also xjustified: and whom he justified, them he also yglorified. 31 What shall we then say to these things? zIf God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that aspared not his own Son, but bdelivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also cfreely give us dall things? 33 Who shall elay any thing to the charge of fGod’s elect? gIt is God that justifieth. 34 ghWho is he that condemneth? It is Christ that bidied, yea rather, that is risen again, jwho is even at the right hand of God, who also kmaketh intercession for us. 35 lWho shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall mtribulation, or mdistress, or mmpersecution, or famine, or nnakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, nnFor thy sake owe are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things pwe are more than conquerors through qhim that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither ldeath, nor life, nor rangels, nor sprincipalities, nor stpowers, nor things uwpresent, nor things uto come, 39 Nor xheight, nor xdepth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from ythe love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

9 aI say the truth in Christ, I lie not, bmy conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, 2 cThat I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 3 For dI could wish that myself were ||eaccursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen faccording to the flesh: 4 gWho are Israelites; to whom pertaineth hthe adoption, and ithe glory, and jthe ||covenants, and kthe giving of the law, and lthe service of God, and mthe promises; 5 nWhose are the fathers, and oof whom fas concerning the flesh Christ came, pwho is over all, qGod rblessed for ever. Amen. 6 sNot as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For tthey are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 7 uNeither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, wIn Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but xthe children of the promise are counted for the seed. 9 For this is the word of promise, yAt this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son. 10 zAnd not only this; but awhen Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; 11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that bthe purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of chim that calleth;) 12 It was said unto her, dThe ||elder shall serve the ||younger. 13 As it is written, eJacob have I loved, but Esau have I fhated.

14 What shall we say then? gIs there unrighteousness with God? hGod forbid. 15 For he saith to Moses, iI will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. 17 For kthe scripture saith unto Pharaoh, lEven for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For mwho hath resisted his will? 20 nNay but, oO man, who art thou that ||repliest against God? pShall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? 21 qHath not the potter power rover the clay, of the same lump to make sone vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? 22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, tendured with much ulongsuffering wthe vessels of wrath ||xfitted to destruction: 23 And ythat he might make known zthe riches of his glory on wthe vessels of mercy, which ahe had afore prepared unto glory, 24 Even us, whom bhe hath called, cnot of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? 25 As he saith also in Osee, dI will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. 26 eAnd it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of fthe living God. 27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, gThough the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, ha remnant shall be saved: 28 For he will finish ||the work, and cut it short in righteousness: ibecause a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. 29 And as Esaias said before, kExcept the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, lwe had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha. 30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, mwhich nfollowed not after righteousness, have nattained to righteousness, oeven the righteousness which is of faith. 31 But Israel, pwhich followed after the law of righteousness, qhath not rattained to the law of righteousness. 32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For sthey stumbled at that ustumblingstone; 33 As it is written, tBehold, I lay in Sion a ustumblingstone and rock of woffence: and txwhosoever believeth on him shall not be ||ashamed.

10 Brethren, amy heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record bthat they have a zeal of God, but cnot according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of dGod’s righteousness, and going about to establish dtheir own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For eChrist is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That fthe man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6 But dthe righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, gSay not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, hto bring Christ down from above:) 7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 But what saith it? iThe word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt kconfess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt lbelieve in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For llthe scripture saith, mWhosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For nthere is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for othe same Lord over all is prich unto all that call upon him. 13 For qwhosoever shall rcall upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear swithout a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except tthey be sent? as it is written, uHow beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But xthey have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, ywho hath believed †our ||zreport? 17 So then faith cometh by zhearing, and zhearing by the word of God. 18 But I say, Have they not heard? aYes verily, btheir sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. 19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, cI will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a dfoolish nation I will anger you. 20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, eI was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me. 21 But to Israel he saith, fAll day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

11 I say then, aHath God cast away his people? bGod forbid. For cdI also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of dthe tribe of Benjamin. 2 eGod hath not cast away his people fwhich he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith †of Elias? how he gmaketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, 3 Lord, hthey have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. 4 But what saith ithe answer of God unto him? kI have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. 5 Even so then at this present time also there is la remnant according to the election of grace. 6 And mif by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. 7 What then? nIsrael hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were ||blinded 8 (According as it is written, oGod hath given them the spirit of ||slumber, peyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. 9 And David saith, qLet their table be made a snare, and a trap, and qqa stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: 10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.

11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? bGod forbid: but rather rthrough their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, sfor to provoke them to jealousy. 12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the ||diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as tI am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 14 If by any means I may sprovoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and umight uwsave some of them. 15 For if the casting away of them be the xreconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? 16 For if ythe firstfruit be holy, zthe lump is also holy: and if athe root be holy, so are the branches. 17 And if bsome of the branches be broken off, and thou, cbeing a wild olive tree, wert graffed in ||among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of dthe olive tree; 18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou estandest by faith. eBe not highminded, but ffear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, gif thou continue in his goodness: otherwise hthou also shalt be cut off. 23 And ithey also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. 24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

25 For iiI would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, jlest ye should be wise in your own conceits; kthat ||blindness lin part is happened to Israel, muntil the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26 And iso all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, nThere shall come oout of Sion the Deliverer, and pshall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27 For this is my covenant unto them, qwhen I shall take away their sins. 28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are rbeloved for the fathers’ sakes. 29 For the gifts and calling sof God are twithout repentance. 30 For as ye uin times past have not ||believed God, wyet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: 31 Even so have these also now not ||believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. 32 For xGod hath ||concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

33 O ythe depth of the riches both of ythe wisdom and zknowledge of God! ahow unsearchable are his judgments, and bhis ways cpast finding out! 34 dFor who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counseller? 35 Or ewho hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? 36 For fof him, and gthrough him, and gto him, are all things: hto †whom be glory for ever. Amen.

12 I abeseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye bpresent your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, cacceptable unto God, which is your dreasonable eservice. 2 And fbe not conformed gto this world: but hbe ye transformed by ithe renewing jof your mind, that ye may kprove what is that good, and cacceptable, and perfect, lwill of God. 3 For I say, mthrough the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, nnot to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think †soberly, oaccording as God hath dealt to every man pthe measure of faith. 4 qFor as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 5 So we, rbeing many, sare one body in Christ, and every one tmembers one of another. 6 uHaving then gifts differing oaccording to mthe grace that is given to us, whether wxprophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 7 Or yministry, let us wait on our ministering: or zhe that teacheth, on wateaching; 8 Or bhe that exhorteth, on cexhortation: dhe that ||giveth, let him do it ||with simplicity; ehe that ruleth, with fdiligence; he that sheweth mercy, gwith cheerfulness.

9 Let hlove be hiwithout dissimulation. jAbhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kkindly affectioned one to another l||with brotherly love; min honour preferring one another; 11 Not nslothful in fbusiness; ofervent in spirit; pserving the Lord; 12 Rejoicing in hope; qpatient in tribulation; rcontinuing instant in prayer; 13 sDistributing to the necessity of saints; tgiven to hospitality. 14 uBless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 15 vRejoice with them that do rejoice, and wweep with them that weep. 16 Be xof the same mind one toward another. yMind not high things, but ||condescend to men of low estate. zBe not wise in your own conceits. 17 aRecompense to no man evil for evil. bProvide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 bbIf it be possible, as much as lieth in you, clive peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, davenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto ewrath: for it is written, fVengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore ugif thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
