Therefore it is by faith, which is through grace, that we are justified, that the promise might be firm unto all his seed; not to that which is of the law only, but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all:

Nor was he weak in his faith, while considering his body dead, (for he was the son of an hundred years,) and the dead womb of Sara;

And not for his sake only was this written, that his faith was reckoned for righteousness,

Nevertheless Aloha hath manifested his love for us, in that, when we were sinners, the Meshiha for us died:

how much more, then, shall we be now justified through his blood, and by him be delivered from wrath?

For if, while we were adversaries, Aloha was reconciled with us through the death of his Son, how much more, then, in reconciliation with him, [fn] shall we be saved by his life ?

But not as was the fall, so is the gift; for if, on account of the fall of one, many died, how much more the grace of Aloha, and his gift, for the sake of one man, Jeshu Meshiha, in many will abound ?

And from the first he knew them, and signified [fn] them in the likeness of the image of his Son, that he might be the first-born of many brethren.

And if his Son be spared not, but for all of us delivered him up, how will he not with him give us all things ?

and the fathers; and from whom appeared the Meshiha in the flesh, who is Aloha over all: his be praises and benedictions to the age of ages. Amen.

Perhaps thou wilt say, Of what then doth he complain; for who shall arise against his will ?

Or, hath not the potter power over his clay, that from the (same) mass he might make vessels, the one to honour, and the other to vileness ?

BUT if Aloha, willing to reveal his wrath, and to make known his power, in his much patience bore with the vessels of wrath who were perfected for destruction,
