First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you because the news of your faith is being reported in all the world.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek.

since what can be known about God is evident among them, because God has shown it to them.

And because they did not think it worthwhile to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a corrupt mind so that they do what is not right.

Because of your hardened and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed.

For no one will be justified in his sight by the works of the law, because the knowledge of sin comes through the law.

God presented him as an atoning sacrifice in his blood, received through faith, to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his restraint God passed over the sins previously committed.

because the law produces wrath. And where there is no law, there is no transgression.

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death spread to all people, because all sinned.

And the gift is not like the one man’s sin, because from one sin came the judgment, resulting in condemnation, but from many trespasses came the gift, resulting in justification.

because we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, will not die again. Death no longer rules over him.

For sin will not rule over you, because you are not under the law but under grace.

What then? Should we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? Absolutely not!

I am using a human analogy because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you offered the parts of yourselves as slaves to impurity, and to greater and greater lawlessness, so now offer them as slaves to righteousness, which results in sanctification.

For I do not understand what I am doing, because I do not practice what I want to do, but I do what I hate.

because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.
