Romans 4 Cross References - Darby

¹ What shall we say then that Abraham our father according to flesh has found? ² For if Abraham has been justified on the principle of works, he has whereof to boast: but not before God; ³ for what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. ⁴ Now to him that works the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but of debt: ⁵ but to him who does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness. ⁶ Even as David also declares the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness without works: ⁷ Blessed [they] whose lawlessnesses have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered: ⁸ blessed [the] man to whom [the] Lord shall not at all reckon sin. ⁹ [Does] this blessedness then [rest] on the circumcision, or also on the uncircumcision? For we say that faith has been reckoned to Abraham as righteousness. ¹⁰ How then has it been reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. ¹¹ And he received [the] sign of circumcision [as] seal of the righteousness of faith which [he had] being in uncircumcision, that he might be [the] father of all them that believe being in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned to them also; ¹² and father of circumcision, not only to those who are of [the] circumcision, but to those also who walk in the steps of the faith, during uncircumcision, of our father Abraham. ¹³ For [it was] not by law that the promise was to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of [the] world, but by righteousness of faith. ¹⁴ For if they which [are] of law be heirs, faith is made vain, and the promise made of no effect. ¹⁵ For law works wrath; but where no law is neither [is there] transgression. ¹⁶ Therefore [it is] on the principle of faith, that [it might be] according to grace, in order to the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that only which [is] of the law, but to that also which [is] of Abraham`s faith, who is father of us all, <sup>17</sup> (according as it is written, I have made thee father of many nations,) before the God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls the things which be not as being; <sup>18</sup> who against hope believed in hope to his becoming father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be: <sup>19</sup> and not being weak in faith, he considered not his own body already become dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadening of Sarah`s womb, ²⁰ and hesitated not at the promise of God through unbelief; but found strength in faith, giving glory to God; ²¹ and being fully persuaded that what he has promised he is able also to do; ²² wherefore also it was reckoned to him as righteousness. ²³ Now it was not written on his account alone that it was reckoned to him, ²⁴ but on ours also, to whom, believing on him who has raised from among [the] dead Jesus our Lord, ²⁵ who has been delivered for our offences and has been raised for our justification, it will be reckoned.

³ And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. <sup>3</sup> And Sarai Abram`s wife took Hagar, the Egyptian, her maidservant, at the end of ten years that Abram had dwelt in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram, as his wife.

¹¹ Now Abraham and Sarah were old [and] advanced in age: it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. ¹² And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am become old, shall I have pleasure, and my lord old? ¹³ And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why is this, that Sarah laughs, saying, Shall I indeed bear, when I am become old? ¹⁴ Is [any] matter too wonderful for Jehovah? At the time appointed I will return to thee, at [this] time of the year, and Sarah shall have a son.

¹ And Abraham took another wife named Keturah. ² And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. ³ And Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan; and the sons of Dedan were the Asshurim, and the Letushim, and the Leummim. ⁴ And the sons of Midian were Ephah, and Epher, and Enoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were sons of Keturah. ⁵ And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac. ⁶ And to the sons of the concubines that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and, while he yet lived, sent them away from Isaac his son, eastward to the east country. ⁷ And these are the days of the years of Abraham`s life which he lived: a hundred and seventy-five years. <sup>8</sup> And Abraham expired and died in a good old age, old and full [of days]; and was gathered to his peoples. <sup>9</sup> And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which was opposite to Mamre -- <sup>10</sup> the field that Abraham had purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife. <sup>11</sup> And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac.

He settled before the face of all his brethren. <sup>19</sup> And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham`s son. Abraham begot Isaac. ²⁰ And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebecca as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian. ²¹ And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren; and Jehovah was entreated of him, and Rebecca his wife conceived. ²² And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If [it be] so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of Jehovah. ²³ And Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples shall be separated from thy bowels; And one people shall be stronger than the other people, And the elder shall serve the younger. ²⁴ And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. ²⁵ And the first came out red -- all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. ²⁶ And after that came his brother out; and his hand took hold of Esau`s heel; and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when they were born. ²⁷ And the boys grew, and Esau became a man skilled in hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob was a homely man, dwelling in tents. ²⁸ And Isaac loved Esau, because venison was to his taste; and Rebecca loved Jacob. ²⁹ And Jacob had cooked a dish; and Esau came from the field, and he was faint. ³⁰ And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with the red -- the red thing there, for I am faint. Therefore was his name called Edom. ³¹ And Jacob said, Sell me now thy birthright. ³² And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and of what use can the birthright be to me? ³³ And Jacob said, Swear unto me now. And he swore unto him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. ³⁴ And Jacob gave Esau bread and the dish of lentils; and he ate and drank, and rose up and went away. Thus Esau despised the birthright.

Now shalt thou see whether my word will come to pass unto thee or not.

¹⁷ Alas, Lord Jehovah! Behold, thou hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and stretched-out arm; there is nothing too hard for thee: ¹⁸ who shewest mercy unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them, thou, the great, the mighty ?God, -- Jehovah of hosts is his name; ¹⁹ great in counsel and mighty in work, whose eyes are open upon all the ways of the children of men, to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings: ²⁰ who hast displayed signs and wonders unto this day, in the land of Egypt and in Israel and among [other] men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day. ²¹ And thou broughtest forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt by signs, and by wonders, and by a powerful hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terror; ²² and didst give them this land, which thou hadst sworn unto their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey. ²³ And they came in and possessed it: but they hearkened not unto thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do; so that thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them. ²⁴ Behold the mounds, they are come unto the city for taking it; and the city is given over into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, by the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and behold, thou seest [it]. ²⁵ And thou, Lord Jehovah, thou hast said unto me, Buy for thyself the field for money, and take witnesses; -- and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. ²⁶ And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, saying, ²⁷ Behold, I am Jehovah, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?

⁴ Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not upright within him: but the just shall live by his faith.

¹⁸ their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them, in the day of Jehovah`s wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for a full end, yea, a sudden [end], shall he make of all them that dwell in the land.

⁴ But now be strong, Zerubbabel, saith Jehovah; and be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith Jehovah, and work: for I am with you, saith Jehovah of hosts.

³ And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the Angel. ⁴ And he spoke and said unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from off him. And unto him he said, See, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I clothe thee with festival-robes.

⁹ Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, that were in the day that the foundation of the house of Jehovah of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.

¹³ And it shall come to pass, like as ye were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear ye not, let your hands be strong.

⁷ Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, even against the man [that is] my fellow, saith Jehovah of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered, and I will turn my hand upon the little ones.

⁹ And do not think to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for [our] father; for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

³ Blessed [are] the poor in spirit, for *theirs* is the kingdom of the heavens. ⁴ Blessed they that mourn, for *they* shall be comforted. ⁵ Blessed the meek, for *they* shall inherit the earth. ⁶ Blessed they who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for *they* shall be filled. ⁷ Blessed the merciful, for *they* shall find mercy. ⁸ Blessed the pure in heart, for *they* shall see God. ⁹ Blessed the peace-makers, for *they* shall be called sons of God. ¹⁰ Blessed they who are persecuted on account of righteousness, for *theirs* is the kingdom of the heavens. ¹¹ Blessed are ye when they may reproach and persecute you, and say every wicked thing against you, lying, for my sake. ¹² Rejoice and exult, for your reward is great in the heavens; for thus have they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

³⁰ But if God so clothe the herbage of the field, which is to-day, and to-morrow is cast into [the] oven, will he not much rather you, O [ye] of little faith?

¹¹ But I say unto you, that many shall come from [the] rising and setting [sun], and shall lie down at table with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens;

²⁶ And he says to them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then, having arisen, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

² And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Be of good courage, child; thy sins are forgiven.

⁸ But the crowds seeing [it], were in fear, and glorified God who gave such power to men.

³¹ And immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught hold of him, and says to him, O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?

¹⁶ And Simon Peter answering said, *Thou* art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

²⁶ But Jesus, looking on [them], said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

¹ For the kingdom of the heavens is like a householder who went out with the early morn to hire workmen for his vineyard. ² And having agreed with the workmen for a denarius the day, he sent them into his vineyard. ³ And having gone out about [the] third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle; ⁴ and to them he said, Go also ye into the vineyard, and whatsoever may be just I will give you. And they went their way. ⁵ Again, having gone out about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise. ⁶ But about the eleventh [hour], having gone out, he found others standing, and says to them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? ⁷ They say to him, Because no man has hired us. He says to them, Go also ye into the vineyard [and whatsoever may be just ye shall receive]. ⁸ But when the evening was come, the lord of the vineyard says to his steward, Call the workmen and pay [them] their wages, beginning from the last even to the first. ⁹ And when they [who came to work] about the eleventh hour came, they received each a denarius. ¹⁰ And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more, and they received also themselves each a denarius. ¹¹ And on receiving it they murmured against the master of the house, ¹² saying, These last have worked one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the heat. ¹³ But he answering said to one of them, [My] friend, I do not wrong thee. Didst thou not agree with me for a denarius? ¹⁴ Take what is thine and go. But it is my will to give to this last even as to thee: ¹⁵ is it not lawful for me to do what I will in my own affairs? Is thine eye evil because *I* am good? ¹⁶ Thus shall the last be first, and the first last; for many are called ones, but few chosen ones.

²⁸ as indeed the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.

³⁵ While he was yet speaking, they come from the ruler of the synagogue`s [house], saying, Thy daughter has died, why troublest thou the teacher any further? ³⁶ But Jesus [immediately], having heard the word spoken, says to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not; only believe.

²³ And Jesus said to him, The `if thou couldst` is [if thou couldst] believe: all things are possible to him that believes. ²⁴ And immediately the father of the young child crying out said [with tears], I believe, help mine unbelief.

¹⁰ Have ye not even read this scripture, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone:

¹⁶ He that believes and is baptised shall be saved, and he that disbelieves shall be condemned.

¹⁸ And Zacharias said to the angel, How shall I know this, for *I* am an old man, and my wife advanced in years?

³⁷ for nothing shall be impossible with God.

⁴⁵ And blessed [is] she that has believed, for there shall be a fulfilment of the things spoken to her from [the] Lord.

³² a light for revelation of [the] Gentiles and [the] glory of thy people Israel.

⁸ Produce therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and begin not to say in yourselves, We have Abraham for [our] father, for I say unto you that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

⁴⁷ For which cause I say to thee, Her many sins are forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loves little. ⁴⁸ And he said to her, Thy sins are forgiven. ⁴⁹ And they that were with [them] at table began to say within themselves, Who is this who forgives also sins? ⁵⁰ And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.

²³ And in hades lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. ²⁴ And he crying out said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering in this flame.

²⁴ And he crying out said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering in this flame. ²⁵ But Abraham said, Child, recollect that *thou* hast fully received thy good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted here, and *thou* art in suffering.

²⁵ But Abraham said, Child, recollect that *thou* hast fully received thy good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted here, and *thou* art in suffering. ²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those who desire to pass hence to you cannot, nor do they who [desire to cross] from there pass over unto us. ²⁷ And he said, I beseech thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to the house of my father, ²⁸ for I have five brothers, so that he may earnestly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment. ²⁹ But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them. ³⁰ But he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one from the dead should go to them, they will repent. ³¹ And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, not even if one rise from among [the] dead will they be persuaded.

⁹ And Jesus said to him, To-day salvation is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus must the Son of man be lifted up, ¹⁵ that every one who believes on him may [not perish, but] have life eternal. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him may not perish, but have life eternal.

³⁶ He that believes on the Son has life eternal, and he that is not subject to the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him.

²¹ For even as the Father raises the dead and quickens [them], thus the Son also quickens whom he will:

²⁴ Verily, verily, I say unto you, that he that hears my word, and believes him that has sent me, has life eternal, and does not come into judgment, but is passed out of death into life. ²⁵ Verily, verily, I say unto you, that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that have heard shall live.

²⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom *he* has sent.

³⁵ [And] Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst at any time.

⁴⁰ For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son, and believes on him, should have life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁴⁷ Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes [on me] has life eternal.

⁶³ It is the Spirit which quickens, the flesh profits nothing: the words which I have spoken unto you are spirit and are life.

³⁸ He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. ³⁹ But this he said concerning the Spirit, which they that believed on him were about to receive; for [the] Spirit was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

³³ They answered him, We are Abraham`s seed, and have never been under bondage to any one; how sayest thou, Ye shall become free?

³⁷ I know that ye are Abraham`s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word has no entrance in you. <sup>38</sup> I speak what I have seen with my Father, and ye then do what ye have seen with your father. <sup>39</sup> They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham`s children, ye would do the works of Abraham;

³⁹ They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham`s children, ye would do the works of Abraham; ⁴⁰ but now ye seek to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.

⁴⁰ but now ye seek to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham. ⁴¹ Ye do the works of your father. They said [therefore] to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one father, God.

⁵³ Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who has died? and the prophets have died: whom makest thou thyself?

⁵⁶ Your father Abraham exulted in that he should see my day, and he saw and rejoiced.

²⁵ Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes on me, though he have died, shall live; ²⁶ and every one who lives and believes on me shall never die. Believest thou this?

²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

²⁷ Then he says to Thomas, Bring thy finger here and see my hands; and bring thy hand and put it into my side; and be not unbelieving, but believing. ²⁸ Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God.

²⁴ Whom God has raised up, having loosed the pains of death, inasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held by its power;

³⁹ For to you is the promise and to your children, and to all who [are] afar off, as many as [the] Lord our God may call.

²⁶ Brethren, sons of Abraham`s race, and those who among you fear God, to you has the word of this salvation been sent:

³⁰ but God raised him from among [the] dead,

³⁸ Be it known unto you, therefore, brethren, that through this man remission of sins is preached to you, ³⁹ and from all things from which ye could not be justified in the law of Moses, in him every one that believes is justified.

¹⁸ known from eternity.

³⁰ God therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now enjoins men that they shall all everywhere repent, ³¹ because he has set a day in which he is going to judge the habitable earth in righteousness by [the] man whom he has appointed, giving the proof [of it] to all [in] having raised him from among [the] dead.

²⁵ Wherefore be of good courage, men, for I believe God that thus it shall be, as it has been said to me.

¹⁷ for righteousness of God is revealed therein, on the principle of faith, to faith: according as it is written, But the just shall live by faith.

¹⁷ for righteousness of God is revealed therein, on the principle of faith, to faith: according as it is written, But the just shall live by faith. ¹⁸ For there is revealed wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety, and unrighteousness of men holding the truth in unrighteousness.

⁵ but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up to thyself wrath, in [the] day of wrath and revelation of [the] righteous judgment of God, ⁶ who shall render to each according to his works:

¹² For as many as have sinned without law shall perish also without law; and as many as have sinned under law shall be judged by law, ¹³ (for not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

²⁸ For he is not a Jew who [is] one outwardly, neither that circumcision which is outward in flesh; ²⁹ but he [is] a Jew [who is so] inwardly; and circumcision, of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.

¹⁹ Now we know that whatever the things the law says, it speaks to those under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be under judgment to God. ²⁰ Wherefore by works of law no flesh shall be justified before him; for by law [is] knowledge of sin.

²⁰ Wherefore by works of law no flesh shall be justified before him; for by law [is] knowledge of sin.

²⁰ Wherefore by works of law no flesh shall be justified before him; for by law [is] knowledge of sin. ²¹ But now without law righteousness of God is manifested, borne witness to by the law and the prophets;

²¹ But now without law righteousness of God is manifested, borne witness to by the law and the prophets; ²² righteousness of God by faith of Jesus Christ towards all, and upon all those who believe: for there is no difference;

²² righteousness of God by faith of Jesus Christ towards all, and upon all those who believe: for there is no difference;

²² righteousness of God by faith of Jesus Christ towards all, and upon all those who believe: for there is no difference; ²³ for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ²⁴ being justified freely by his grace through the redemption which [is] in Christ Jesus;

²⁴ being justified freely by his grace through the redemption which [is] in Christ Jesus; ²⁵ whom God has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood, for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness, in respect of the passing by the sins that had taken place before, through the forbearance of God;

²⁵ whom God has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood, for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness, in respect of the passing by the sins that had taken place before, through the forbearance of God;

²⁵ whom God has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood, for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness, in respect of the passing by the sins that had taken place before, through the forbearance of God; ²⁶ for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of [the] faith of Jesus.

²⁶ for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of [the] faith of Jesus.

²⁶ for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of [the] faith of Jesus.

²⁶ for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of [the] faith of Jesus. ²⁷ Where then [is] boasting? It has been excluded. By what law? of works? Nay, but by law of faith;

²⁷ Where then [is] boasting? It has been excluded. By what law? of works? Nay, but by law of faith;

²⁷ Where then [is] boasting? It has been excluded. By what law? of works? Nay, but by law of faith; ²⁸ for we reckon that a man is justified by faith, without works of law.

²⁸ for we reckon that a man is justified by faith, without works of law. ²⁹ Is [God] the God of Jews only? is he not of [the] nations also? Yea, of nations also:

²⁹ Is [God] the God of Jews only? is he not of [the] nations also? Yea, of nations also: ³⁰ since indeed [it is] one God who shall justify [the] circumcision on the principle of faith, and uncircumcision by faith. ³¹ Do we then make void law by faith? Far be the thought: [no,] but we establish law.

² For if Abraham has been justified on the principle of works, he has whereof to boast: but not before God; ³ for what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.

⁵ but to him who does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness. ⁶ Even as David also declares the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness without works:

⁹ [Does] this blessedness then [rest] on the circumcision, or also on the uncircumcision? For we say that faith has been reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.

¹¹ And he received [the] sign of circumcision [as] seal of the righteousness of faith which [he had] being in uncircumcision, that he might be [the] father of all them that believe being in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned to them also; ¹² and father of circumcision, not only to those who are of [the] circumcision, but to those also who walk in the steps of the faith, during uncircumcision, of our father Abraham. ¹³ For [it was] not by law that the promise was to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of [the] world, but by righteousness of faith.

¹⁶ Therefore [it is] on the principle of faith, that [it might be] according to grace, in order to the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that only which [is] of the law, but to that also which [is] of Abraham`s faith, who is father of us all,

¹⁶ Therefore [it is] on the principle of faith, that [it might be] according to grace, in order to the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that only which [is] of the law, but to that also which [is] of Abraham`s faith, who is father of us all, ¹⁷ (according as it is written, I have made thee father of many nations,) before the God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls the things which be not as being;

¹⁷ (according as it is written, I have made thee father of many nations,) before the God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls the things which be not as being; ¹⁸ who against hope believed in hope to his becoming father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be: ¹⁹ and not being weak in faith, he considered not his own body already become dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadening of Sarah`s womb, ²⁰ and hesitated not at the promise of God through unbelief; but found strength in faith, giving glory to God; ²¹ and being fully persuaded that what he has promised he is able also to do; ²² wherefore also it was reckoned to him as righteousness. ²³ Now it was not written on his account alone that it was reckoned to him, ²⁴ but on ours also, to whom, believing on him who has raised from among [the] dead Jesus our Lord,

²⁴ but on ours also, to whom, believing on him who has raised from among [the] dead Jesus our Lord,

²⁴ but on ours also, to whom, believing on him who has raised from among [the] dead Jesus our Lord, ²⁵ who has been delivered for our offences and has been raised for our justification, it will be reckoned.

¹ Therefore having been justified on the principle of faith, we have peace towards God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

⁵ and hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by [the] Holy Spirit which has been given to us: ⁶ for we being still without strength, in [the] due time Christ has died for [the] ungodly. ⁷ For scarcely for [the] just [man] will one die, for perhaps for [the] good [man] some one might also dare to die; ⁸ but God commends *his* love to us, in that, we being still sinners, Christ has died for us.

¹³ (for until law sin was in [the] world; but sin is not put to account when there is no law;

¹⁸ so then as [it was] by one offence towards all men to condemnation, so by one righteousness towards all men for justification of life.

¹⁸ so then as [it was] by one offence towards all men to condemnation, so by one righteousness towards all men for justification of life. ¹⁹ For as indeed by the disobedience of the one man the many have been constituted sinners, so also by the obedience of the one the many will be constituted righteous. ²⁰ But law came in, in order that the offence might abound; but where sin abounded grace has overabounded, ²¹ in order that, even as sin has reigned in [the power of] death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹ What then shall we say? Should we continue in sin that grace may abound?

⁷ What shall we say then? [is] the law sin? Far be the thought. But I had not known sin, unless by law: for I had not had conscience also of lust unless the law had said, Thou shalt not lust;

⁷ What shall we say then? [is] the law sin? Far be the thought. But I had not known sin, unless by law: for I had not had conscience also of lust unless the law had said, Thou shalt not lust; ⁸ but sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, wrought in me every lust; for without law sin [was] dead. ⁹ But *I* was alive without law once; but the commandment having come, sin revived, but *I* died. ¹⁰ And the commandment, which [was] for life, was found, [as] to me, itself [to be] unto death: ¹¹ for sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew [me]. ¹² So that the law indeed [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. ¹³ Did then that which is good become death to me? Far be the thought. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death to me by that which is good; in order that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. ¹⁴ For we know that the law is spiritual: but *I* am fleshly, sold under sin. ¹⁵ For that which I do, I do not own: for not what I will, this I do; but what I hate, this I practise. ¹⁶ But if what I do not will, this I practise, I consent to the law that [it is] right. ¹⁷ Now then [it is] no longer *I* [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me. ¹⁸ For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, good does not dwell: for to will is there with me, but to do right [I find] not. ¹⁹ For I do not practise the good that I will; but the evil I do not will, that I do. ²⁰ But if what *I* do not will, this I practise, [it is] no longer *I* [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me. ²¹ I find then the law upon *me* who will to practise what is right, that with *me* evil is there. ²² For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man: ²³ but I see another law in my members, warring in opposition to the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which exists in my members. ²⁴ O wretched man that I [am]! who shall deliver me out of this body of death? ²⁵ I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then *I* *myself* with the mind serve God`s law; but with the flesh sin`s law.

³ For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, having sent his own Son, in likeness of flesh of sin, and for sin, has condemned sin in the flesh,

¹¹ But if the Spirit of him that has raised up Jesus from among [the] dead dwell in you, he that has raised up Christ from among [the] dead shall quicken your mortal bodies also on account of his Spirit which dwells in you.

²⁴ For we have been saved in hope; but hope seen is not hope; for what any one sees, why does he also hope?

²⁹ Because whom he has foreknown, he has also predestinated [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, so that he should be [the] firstborn among many brethren. ³⁰ But whom he has predestinated, these also he has called; and whom he has called, these also he has justified; but whom he has justified, these also he has glorified.

³⁰ But whom he has predestinated, these also he has called; and whom he has called, these also he has justified; but whom he has justified, these also he has glorified. ³¹ What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who against us?

³¹ What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who against us? ³² He who, yea, has not spared his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him grant us all things? ³³ Who shall bring an accusation against God`s elect? [It is] God who justifies: ³⁴ who is he that condemns? [It is] Christ who has died, but rather has been [also] raised up; who is also at the right hand of God; who also intercedes for us.

³⁸ For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

⁶ Not however as though the word of God had failed; for not all [are] Israel which [are] of Israel;

⁶ Not however as though the word of God had failed; for not all [are] Israel which [are] of Israel; ⁷ nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children: but, In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee. ⁸ That is, [they that are] the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned as seed.

¹⁷ For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very thing I have raised thee up from amongst [men], that I might thus shew in thee my power, and so that my name should be declared in all the earth.

²³ and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory, ²⁴ us, whom he has also called, not only from amongst [the] Jews, but also from amongst [the] nations?

²⁶ And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them, *Ye* [are] not my people, there shall they be called Sons of [the] living God.

³⁰ What then shall we say? That [they of the] nations, who did not follow after righteousness, have attained righteousness, but [the] righteousness that is on the principle of faith.

³² Wherefore? Because [it was] not on the principle of faith, but as of works. They have stumbled at the stumblingstone, ³³ according as it is written, Behold, I place in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence: and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed.

³ For they, being ignorant of God`s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own [righteousness], have not submitted to the righteousness of God. ⁴ For Christ is [the] end of law for righteousness to every one that believes.

⁶ But the righteousness of faith speaks thus: Do not say in thine heart, Who shall ascend to the heavens? that is, to bring Christ down;

⁹ that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from among [the] dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰ For with [the] heart is believed to righteousness; and with [the] mouth confession made to salvation. ¹¹ For the scripture says, No one believing on him shall be ashamed. ¹² For there is no difference of Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all [is] rich towards all that call upon him. ¹³ For every one whosoever, who shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved.

² God has not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture says in [the history of] Elias, how he pleads with God against Israel?

⁶ But if by grace, no longer of works: since [otherwise] grace is no more grace.

³⁵ or who has first given to him, and it shall be rendered to him?

⁴ Who art *thou* that judgest the servant of another? to his own master he stands or falls. And he shall be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand.

²¹ [It is] right not to eat meat, nor drink wine, nor [do anything] in which thy brother stumbles, or is offended, or is weak.

⁴ For as many things as have been written before have been written for our instruction, that through endurance and through encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.

⁸ For I say that Jesus Christ became a minister of [the] circumcision for [the] truth of God, to confirm the promises of the fathers;

⁸ For I say that Jesus Christ became a minister of [the] circumcision for [the] truth of God, to confirm the promises of the fathers; ⁹ and that the nations should glorify God for mercy; according as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among [the] nations, and will sing to thy name. ¹⁰ And again he says, Rejoice, nations, with his people. ¹¹ And again, Praise the Lord, all [ye] nations, and let all the peoples laud him. ¹² And again, Esaias says, There shall be the root of Jesse, and one that arises, to rule over [the] nations: in him shall [the] nations hope. ¹³ Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that ye should abound in hope by [the] power of [the] Holy Spirit. ¹⁴ But I am persuaded, my brethren, I myself also, concerning you, that yourselves also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. ¹⁵ But I have written to you the more boldly, [brethren,] in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace given to me by God, ¹⁶ for me to be minister of Christ Jesus to the nations, carrying on as a sacrificial service the [message of] glad tidings of God, in order that the offering up of the nations might be acceptable, sanctified by [the] Holy Spirit. ¹⁷ I have therefore [whereof to] boast in Christ Jesus in the things which pertain to God.

¹⁷ I have therefore [whereof to] boast in Christ Jesus in the things which pertain to God. ¹⁸ For I will not dare to speak anything of the things which Christ has not wrought by me, for [the] obedience of [the] nations, by word and deed, ¹⁹ in [the] power of signs and wonders, in [the] power of [the] Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circuit round to Illyricum, have fully preached the glad tidings of the Christ;

²⁸ and the ignoble things of the world, and the despised, has God chosen, [and] things that are not, that he may annul the things that are; ²⁹ so that no flesh should boast before God. ³⁰ But of him are *ye* in Christ Jesus, who has been made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption; ³¹ that according as it is written, He that boasts, let him boast in [the] Lord.

⁷ For who makes thee to differ? and what hast thou which thou hast not received? but if also thou hast received, why boastest thou as not receiving?

⁹ Do ye not know that unrighteous [persons] shall not inherit [the] kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who make women of themselves, nor who abuse themselves with men, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor abusive persons, nor [the] rapacious, shall inherit [the] kingdom of God. ¹¹ And these things were some of you; but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹⁸ Has any one been called circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised: has any one been called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised. ¹⁹ Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but keeping God`s commandments.

⁹ For in the law of Moses it is written, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that is treading out corn. Is God occupied about the oxen, ¹⁰ or does he say [it] altogether for our sakes? For for our sakes it has been written, that the plougher should plough in hope, and he that treads out corn, in hope of partaking of [it].

¹⁶ For if I announce the glad tidings, I have nothing to boast of; for a necessity is laid upon me; for it is woe to me if I should not announce the glad tidings.

⁶ But these things happened [as] types of us, that we should not be lusters after evil things, as they also lusted.

¹¹ Now all these things happened to them [as] types, and have been written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.

³ For I delivered to you, in the first place, what also I had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures; ⁴ and that he was buried; and that he was raised the third day, according to the scriptures;

¹⁷ but if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.

⁴⁵ Thus also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit.

⁵⁶ Now the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin the law;

¹³ Be vigilant; stand fast in the faith; quit yourselves like men; be strong.

²² who also has sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

⁷ (But if the ministry of death, in letters, graven in stones, began with glory, so that the children of Israel could not fix their eyes on the face of Moses, on account of the glory of his face, [a glory] which is annulled; ⁸ how shall not rather the ministry of the Spirit subsist in glory? ⁹ For if the ministry of condemnation [be] glory, much rather the ministry of righteousness abounds in glory.

¹² [For] we do not again commend ourselves to you, but [we are] giving to you occasion of boast in our behalf, that ye may have [such] with those boasting in countenance, and not in heart.

¹⁹ how that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their offences; and putting in us the word of that reconciliation. ²⁰ We are ambassadors therefore for Christ, God as [it were] beseeching by us, we entreat for Christ, Be reconciled to God. ²¹ Him who knew not sin he has made sin for us, that *we* might become God`s righteousness in him.

⁸ But God is able to make every gracious gift abound towards you, that, having in every way always all-sufficiency, ye may abound to every good work:

¹² But what I do, I will also do, that I may cut off the opportunity of those wishing [for] an opportunity, that wherein they boast they may be found even as we.

²² Are they Hebrews? *I* also. Are they Israelites? *I* also. Are they seed of Abraham? *I* also.

³⁰ If it is needful to boast, I will boast in the things which concern my infirmity.

¹ Well, it is not of profit to me to boast, for I will come to visions and revelations of [the] Lord. ² I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago, (whether in [the] body I know not, or out of the body I know not, God knows;) such [a one] caught up to [the] third heaven. ³ And I know such a man, (whether in [the] body or out of the body I know not, God knows;) ⁴ that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable things said which it is not allowed to man to utter. ⁵ Of such [a one] I will boast, but of myself I will not boast, unless in my weaknesses. ⁶ For if I shall desire to boast, I shall not be a fool; for I will say [the] truth; but I forbear, lest any one should think as to me above what he sees me [to be], or whatever he may hear of me. ⁷ And that I might not be exalted by the exceeding greatness of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn for the flesh, a messenger of Satan that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted. ⁸ For this I thrice besought the Lord that it might depart from me. ⁹ And he said to me, My grace suffices thee; for [my] power is perfected in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of the Christ may dwell upon me. ¹⁰ Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in necessities, in persecutions, in straits, for Christ: for when I am weak, then I am powerful.

¹⁸ I begged Titus, and sent the brother with [him]: did Titus at all make gain of you? have we not walked in the same spirit? [have we] not in the same steps?

⁴ who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father;

¹⁶ but knowing that a man is not justified on the principle of works of law [nor] but by the faith of Jesus Christ, *we* also have believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified on the principle of [the] faith of Christ; and not of works of law; because on the principle of works of law no flesh shall be justified. ¹⁷ Now if in seeking to be justified in Christ we also have been found sinners, then [is] Christ minister of sin? Far be the thought.

²¹ I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness [is] by law, then Christ has died for nothing.

⁶ Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. ⁷ Know then that they that are on the principle of faith, these are Abraham`s sons;

⁷ Know then that they that are on the principle of faith, these are Abraham`s sons;

⁷ Know then that they that are on the principle of faith, these are Abraham`s sons; ⁸ and the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations on the principle of faith, announced beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham: In thee all the nations shall be blessed.

⁸ and the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations on the principle of faith, announced beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham: In thee all the nations shall be blessed.

⁸ and the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations on the principle of faith, announced beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham: In thee all the nations shall be blessed.

⁸ and the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations on the principle of faith, announced beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham: In thee all the nations shall be blessed. ⁹ So that they who are on the principle of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

⁹ So that they who are on the principle of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

⁹ So that they who are on the principle of faith are blessed with believing Abraham. ¹⁰ For as many as are on the principle of works of law are under curse. For it is written, Cursed is every one who does not continue in all things which [are] written in the book of the law to do them;

¹⁰ For as many as are on the principle of works of law are under curse. For it is written, Cursed is every one who does not continue in all things which [are] written in the book of the law to do them;

¹⁰ For as many as are on the principle of works of law are under curse. For it is written, Cursed is every one who does not continue in all things which [are] written in the book of the law to do them; ¹¹ but that by law no one is justified with God [is] evident, because The just shall live on the principle of faith;

¹¹ but that by law no one is justified with God [is] evident, because The just shall live on the principle of faith; ¹² but the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that shall have done these things shall live by them.

¹² but the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that shall have done these things shall live by them. ¹³ Christ has redeemed us out of the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, (for it is written, Cursed [is] every one hanged upon a tree,)

¹³ Christ has redeemed us out of the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, (for it is written, Cursed [is] every one hanged upon a tree,) ¹⁴ that the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

¹⁴ that the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

¹⁶ But to Abraham were the promises addressed, and to his seed: he does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed; which is Christ. ¹⁷ Now I say this, A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which took place four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect. ¹⁸ For if the inheritance [be] on the principle of law, [it is] no longer on the principle of promise; but God gave it in grace to Abraham by promise.

¹⁸ For if the inheritance [be] on the principle of law, [it is] no longer on the principle of promise; but God gave it in grace to Abraham by promise. ¹⁹ Why then the law? It was added for the sake of transgressions, until the seed came to whom the promise was made, ordained through angels in [the] hand of a mediator.

¹⁹ Why then the law? It was added for the sake of transgressions, until the seed came to whom the promise was made, ordained through angels in [the] hand of a mediator. ²⁰ But a mediator is not of one, but God is one. ²¹ [Is] then the law against the promises of God? Far be the thought. For if a law had been given able to quicken, then indeed righteousness were on the principle of law; ²² but the scripture has shut up all things under sin, that the promise, on the principle of faith of Jesus Christ, should be given to those that believe.

²² but the scripture has shut up all things under sin, that the promise, on the principle of faith of Jesus Christ, should be given to those that believe. ²³ But before faith came, we were guarded under law, shut up to faith [which was] about to be revealed. ²⁴ So that the law has been our tutor up to Christ, that we might be justified on the principle of faith.

²⁶ for ye are all God`s sons by faith in Christ Jesus. <sup>27</sup> For ye, as many as have been baptised unto Christ, have put on Christ. <sup>28</sup> There is no Jew nor Greek; there is no bondman nor freeman; there is no male and female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus: <sup>29</sup> but if *ye* [are] of Christ, then ye are Abraham`s seed, heirs according to promise.

¹⁵ What then [was] your blessedness? for I bear you witness that, if possible, plucking out your own eyes ye would have given [them] to me.

²² For it is written that Abraham had two sons; one of the maid servant, and one of the free woman. ²³ But he [that was] of the maid servant was born according to flesh, and he [that was] of the free woman through the promise. ²⁴ Which things have an allegorical sense; for these are two covenants: one from mount Sinai, gendering to bondage, which is Hagar. ²⁵ For Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which [is] now, for she is in bondage with her children; ²⁶ but the Jerusalem above is free, which is our mother. ²⁷ For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break out and cry, thou that travailest not; because the children of the desolate are more numerous than [those] of her that has a husband. ²⁸ But *ye*, brethren, after the pattern of Isaac, are children of promise. ²⁹ But as then he that was born according to flesh persecuted him [that was born] according to Spirit, so also [it is] now. ³⁰ But what says the scripture? Cast out the maid servant and her son; for the son of the maid servant shall not inherit with the son of the free woman. ³¹ So then, brethren, we are not maid servant`s children, but [children] of the free woman.

⁴ Ye are deprived of all profit from the Christ as separated [from him], as many as are justified by law; ye have fallen from grace. ⁵ For we, by [the] Spirit, on the principle of faith, await the hope of righteousness. ⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision has any force, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.

¹³ For neither do they that are circumcised themselves keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh. ¹⁴ But far be it from me to boast save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom [the] world is crucified to me, and I to the world. ¹⁵ For [in Christ Jesus] neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision; but new creation. ¹⁶ And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace upon them and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

³ Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ;

¹³ in whom *ye* also [have trusted], having heard the word of the truth, the glad tidings of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, ye have been sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

¹⁸ being enlightened in the eyes of your heart, so that ye should know what is the hope of his calling, [and] what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, ¹⁹ and what the surpassing greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the working of the might of his strength, ²⁰ [in] which he wrought in the Christ [in] raising him from among [the] dead, and he set him down at his right hand in the heavenlies,

¹ and *you*, being dead in your offences and sins -- ² in which ye once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience: ³ among whom *we* also all once had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, doing what the flesh and the thoughts willed to do, and were children, by nature, of wrath, even as the rest: ⁴ but God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love wherewith he loved us, ⁵ (we too being dead in offences,) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace,)

⁵ (we too being dead in offences,) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace,)

⁸ For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God`s gift:

⁸ For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God`s gift: ⁹ not on the principle of works, that no one might boast.

⁹ not on the principle of works, that no one might boast. ¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has before prepared that we should walk in them. ¹¹ Wherefore remember that *ye*, once nations in [the] flesh, who [are] called uncircumcision by that called circumcision in [the] flesh done with the hand; ¹² that ye were at that time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: ¹³ but now in Christ Jesus *ye* who once were afar off are become nigh by the blood of the Christ.

⁸ To me, less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, to announce among the nations the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of the Christ,

³⁰ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which ye have been sealed for [the] day of redemption.

² and walk in love, even as the Christ loved us, and delivered himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour.

⁶ Let no one deceive you with vain words, for on account of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

¹⁰ For the rest, brethren, be strong in [the] Lord, and in the might of his strength.

⁹ and that I may be found in him, not having my righteousness, which [would be] on the principle of law, but that which is by faith of Christ, the righteousness which [is] of God through faith,

⁶ On account of which things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

¹¹ wherein there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ [is] everything, and in all.

¹³ who before was a blasphemer and persecutor, and an insolent overbearing [man]: but mercy was shewn me because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief. ¹⁴ But the grace of our Lord surpassingly over-abounded with faith and love, which [is] in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Faithful [is] the word, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom *I* am [the] first.

¹³ I enjoin thee before God who preserves all things in life, and Christ Jesus who witnessed before Pontius Pilate the good confession,

⁹ who has saved us, and has called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to [his] own purpose and grace, which [was] given to us in Christ Jesus before [the] ages of time,

¹² For which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep for that day the deposit I have entrusted to him.

¹ Thou therefore, my child, be strong in the grace which [is] in Christ Jesus.

¹⁶ Every scripture [is] divinely inspired, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; ¹⁷ that the man of God may be complete, fully fitted to every good work.

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works.

³ For we were once ourselves also without intelligence, disobedient, wandering in error, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another. ⁴ But when the kindness and love to man of our Saviour God appeared, ⁵ not on the principle of works which [have been done] in righteousness which *we* had done, but according to his own mercy he saved us through [the] washing of regeneration and renewal of [the] Holy Spirit, ⁶ which he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; ⁷ that, having been justified by *his* grace, we should become heirs according to [the] hope of eternal life.

⁷ that, having been justified by *his* grace, we should become heirs according to [the] hope of eternal life.

¹⁸ but if he have wronged thee anything or owe anything [to thee], put this to my account. ¹⁹ *I* Paul have written [it] with mine own hand; *I* will repay [it]: that I say not to thee that thou owest even thine own self also to me.

¹⁴ Having therefore a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession. ¹⁵ For we have not a high priest not able to sympathise with our infirmities, but tempted in all things in like manner, sin apart. ¹⁶ Let us approach therefore with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace for seasonable help.

¹³ For God, having promised to Abraham, since he had no greater to swear by, swore by himself, ¹⁴ saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee; ¹⁵ and thus, having had long patience, he got the promise. ¹⁶ For men indeed swear by a greater, and with them the oath is a term to all dispute, as making matters sure. ¹⁷ Wherein God, willing to shew more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of his purpose, intervened by an oath, ¹⁸ that by two unchangeable things, in which [it was] impossible that God should lie, we might have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us, ¹⁹ which we have as anchor of the soul, both secure and firm, and entering into that within the veil,

¹⁹ (for the law perfected nothing,) and the introduction of a better hope by which we draw nigh to God.

²⁸ For the law constitutes men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the swearing of the oath which [is] after the law, a Son perfected for ever.

²⁸ thus the Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear to those that look for him the second time without sin for salvation.

¹² But *he*, having offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down in perpetuity at [the] right hand of God, ¹³ waiting from henceforth until his enemies be set [for the] footstool of his feet. ¹⁴ For by one offering he has perfected in perpetuity the sanctified.

⁷ By faith, Noah, oracularly warned concerning things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which [is] according to faith.

¹¹ By faith also Sarah herself received strength for [the] conception of seed, and [that] beyond a seasonable age; since she counted him faithful who promised. ¹² Wherefore also there have been born of one, and that of one become dead, even as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the countless sand which [is] by the sea shore.

¹² Wherefore also there have been born of one, and that of one become dead, even as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the countless sand which [is] by the sea shore. ¹³ All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar off and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth.

¹³ All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar off and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth. ¹⁴ For they who say such things shew clearly that they seek [their] country. ¹⁵ And if they had called to mind that from whence they went out, they had had opportunity to have returned; ¹⁶ but now they seek a better, that is, a heavenly; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for he has prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, [when] tried, offered up Isaac, and he who had received to himself the promises offered up his only begotten [son], ¹⁸ as to whom it had been said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called: ¹⁹ counting that God [was] able to raise [him] even from among [the] dead, whence also he received him in a figure.

¹⁹ counting that God [was] able to raise [him] even from among [the] dead, whence also he received him in a figure.

⁹ Moreover we have had the fathers of our flesh as chasteners, and we reverenced [them]; shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?

²⁰ But the God of peace, who brought again from among [the] dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, in [the power of the] blood of [the] eternal covenant, ²¹ perfect you in every good work to the doing of his will, doing in you what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ; to whom [be] glory for the ages of ages. Amen.

²³ And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and he was called Friend of God.

⁵ Think ye that the scripture speaks in vain? Does the Spirit which has taken his abode in us desire enviously?

¹⁸ knowing that ye have been redeemed, not by corruptible [things, as] silver or gold, from your vain conversation handed down from [your] fathers, ¹⁹ but by precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, [the blood] of Christ,

²¹ who by him do believe on God, who has raised him from among [the] dead and given him glory, that your faith and hope should be in God.

¹⁰ who once [were] not a people, but now God`s people; who were not enjoying mercy, but now have found mercy.

²¹ For to this have ye been called; for Christ also has suffered for you, leaving you a model that ye should follow in his steps:

²⁴ who himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, in order that, being dead to sins, we may live to righteousness: by whose stripes ye have been healed.

¹⁸ for Christ indeed has once suffered for sins, [the] just for [the] unjust, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in flesh, but made alive in [the] Spirit,

¹ Simon Peter, bondman and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have received like precious faith with us through [the] righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:

¹⁰ Wherefore the rather, brethren, use diligence to make your calling and election sure, for doing these things ye will never fall;

²⁰ knowing this first, that [the scope of] no prophecy of scripture is had from its own particular interpretation, ²¹ for prophecy was not ever uttered by [the] will of man, but holy men of God spake under the power of [the] Holy Spirit.

⁸ But let not this one thing be hidden from you, beloved, that one day with [the] Lord [is] as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

² and *he* is the propitiation for our sins; but not for ours alone, but also for the whole world.

⁴ Every one that practises sin practises also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.

⁹ Herein as to us has been manifested the love of God, that God has sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. ¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and has washed us from our sins in his blood,

⁹ And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open its seals; because thou hast been slain, and hast redeemed to God, by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

¹⁶ and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and have us hidden from [the] face of him that sits upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; ¹⁷ because the great day of his wrath is come, and who is able to stand?

¹⁴ And I said to him, My lord, *thou* knowest. And he said to me, These are they who come out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

⁴ and it was said to them, that they should not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but the men who have not the seal of God on their foreheads:

¹⁵ And out of his mouth goes a sharp [two-edged] sword, that with it he might smite the nations; and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod; and he treads the wine-press of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.
