For not through law [is] the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith;

Because of this [it is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which [is] of the law only, but also to that which [is] of the faith of Abraham,

and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God,

but also on ours, to whom it is about to be reckoned -- to us believing on Him who did raise up Jesus our Lord out of the dead,

And not only [so], but we also boast in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation doth work endurance;

And not only [so], but we are also boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom now we did receive the reconciliation;

but the death did reign from Adam till Moses, even upon those not having sinned in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a type of him who is coming.

But, not as the offence so also [is] the free gift; for if by the offence of the one the many did die, much more did the grace of God, and the free gift in grace of the one man Jesus Christ, abound to the many;

and not as through one who did sin [is] the free gift, for the judgment indeed [is] of one to condemnation, but the gift [is] of many offences to a declaration of `Righteous,'

neither present ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God;

for sin over you shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under grace.

What then? shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? let it not be!

What, then, shall we say? the law [is] sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:

That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command,

for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do.

and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me,

for the good that I will, I do not; but the evil that I do not will, this I practise.

And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me.

There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit;

that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
