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.

As David also termeth the blessedness of a man to whom God reputeth justice without works:

(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.

In the promise also of God he staggered not by distrust: but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God:

Being justified therefore by faith, let us have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ:

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.

And hope confoundeth not: because the charity of God is poured forth in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost who is given to us.

But God commendeth his charity towards us: because when as yet we were sinners according to the time.

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.

And not only so: but also we glory in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation.

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.

God forbid! For we that are dead to sin, how shall we live any longer therein?

For in that he died to sin, he died once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

So do you also reckon that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

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.

What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid!

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.

But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end life everlasting.

For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God, life everlasting in Christ Jesus our Lord.

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.
