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

By whom we haue receiued grace and Apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for his Name,

For God is my witnesse, whom I serue with my spirit in the Gospel of his Sonne, that without ceasing I make mention of you, alwayes in my prayers,

For the inuisible things of him from the Creation of the world, are clearely seene, being vnderstood by the things that are made, euen his eternall Power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse:

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodnesse, and forbearance, and long suffering, not knowing that the goodnes of God leadeth thee to repentance?

Who will render to euery man according to his deedes:

And knowest his will, and approuest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the Law,

Therefore, if the vncircumcision keepe the righteousnesse of the Law, shall not his vncircumcision be counted for Circumcision?

For if the trueth of God hath more abounded through my lye vnto his glory; why yet am I also iudged as a sinner?

Therefore by the deedes of the Law, there shall no flesh be iustified in his sight: for by the Law is the knowledge of sinne.

Being iustified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Iesus Christ:

Whom God hath set forth to bee a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousnesse for the remission of sinnes, that are past, through the forbearance of God.

To declare, I say, at this time his righteousnesse: that hee might bee iust, and the iustifier of him which beleeueth in Iesus.

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

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

And being not weake in faith, hee considered not his owne body now dead, when hee was about an hundred yere old, neither yet the deadnes of Saraes wombe.

Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him:

But God commendeth his loue towards vs, in 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 wee were enemies, we were reconciled to God, by the death of his sonne: much more being reconciled, we shalbe saued by his life.
