Concerning his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord (which was made of the seede of Dauid according to the flesh,

By whom we haue receiued grace and Apostleship (that obedience might be giuen vnto ye faith) for his Name among al ye Gentiles,

For God is my witnesse (whom I serue in my spirit in the Gospel of his Sonne) that without ceasing I make mention of you

For the inuisible things of him, that is, his eternal power & Godhead, are seene by ye creation of the worlde, being considered in his workes, to the intent that they should be without excuse:

Or despisest thou the riches of his bountifulnesse, and patience, and long sufferance, not knowing that the bountifulnesse of God leadeth thee to repentance?

Who wil reward euery man according to his woorkes:

And knowest his will, and triest the things that dissent from it, in that thou art instructed by the Lawe:

Therefore if the vncircumcision keepe the ordinances of the Lawe, shall not his vncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

For if the veritie of God hath more abounded through my lye vnto his glorie, why am I yet condemned as a sinner?

Therefore by the woorkes of the Lawe shall no flesh be iustified in his sight: for by the Lawe commeth the knowledge of sinne.

And are iustified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Iesus,

Whom God hath set forth to be a reconciliation through faith in his blood to declare his righteousnes, by the forgiuenesse of the sinnes that are passed,

Through the patience of God, to shewe at this time his righteousnesse, that hee might be iust, and a iustifier of him which is of the faith of Iesus.

But to him that worketh not, but beleeueth in him that iustifieth the vngodly, his faith is counted for righteousnesse.

For the promise that he should be the heire of the worlde, was not giuen to Abraham, or to his seede, through the Lawe, but through the righteousnesse of faith.

And he not weake in the faith, considered not his owne bodie, which was nowe dead, being almost an hundreth yeere olde, neither the deadnes of Saraes wombe.

For Christ, when we were yet of no strength, at his time died for the vngodly.

But God setteth out his loue towards vs, seeing that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for vs.

Much more then, being now iustified by his blood, we shalbe saued from wrath through him.

For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Sonne, much more being reconciled, we shalbe saued by his life,
