How then was it given to him? by means of circumcision, or in uncircumcision? It was not given in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

So that the father of circumcision is not only to those who are of circumcision, but also to those who walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham while he was yet uncircumcised.

For the promise to Abraham and his seed that he should inherit the world was not made through the law, but through the righteousness of his faith.

Therefore it is by faith that we will be justified by grace; so that the promise might be sure to all his seed; not only to him who is of the law, but also to him who is of the faith of Abraham who is the father of us all,

He did not doubt the promise of God as one who lacks faith; but his faith gave him strength, and he gave glory to God.

But for us also, for he will number us also, who believe in him who raised our LORD Jesus Christ from the dead;

And not only so, but we also glory in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation perfects patience in us;

But Christ at this time, because of our weaknesses, died for the sake of the wicked.

Hardly would any man die for the sake of the wicked: * but for the sake of the good, one might be willing to die.

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

But the measure of the gift of God was not the measure of the fall. If therefore, because of the fall of one, many died, how much more will the grace and gift of God, because of one man, Jesus Christ, be increased ?

Likewise, you also must consider yourself as being dead to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our LORD.

Neither should you yield your members as instruments of iniquity to sin: but yield yourselves to God, just as if you were men who had risen from among the dead, and let your members be instruments of righteousness to God.

Sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are no longer under the law, but under grace.

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace? Far be it.

But thank God that you, who were once the servants of sin, now obey from the heart that form of doctrine which has been delivered to you.

But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, your fruits are holy, and the end thereof is life everlasting.

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through our LORD Jesus Christ.

Just as a woman is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives; but if her husband should die, she is freed from the law of her husband.

Thus if, while her husband is alive, she should be attached to another man, she becomes an adulteress: but if her husband is dead, she is free from the law; so that she is not an adulteress though she becomes another man''s wife.
