¹ Now faith is an assumption of what is being expected, a conviction concerning matters which are not being observed;" ² for in this the elders were testified to. ³ By faith we are apprehending the eons to adjust to a declaration of God, so that what is being observed has not come out of what is appearing." ⁴ By faith Abel offers to God more of a sacrifice than Cain, through which he was testified to that he is just at God's testifying to his approach presents, and through it, dying, he is still speaking." ⁵ By faith Enoch was transferred, so as not to be acquainted with death, and was not found, because God transfers him. For before his transference he is attested to have pleased God well." ⁶ Now apart from faith it is impossible to be well pleasing, for he who is coming to God must believe that He is, and is becoming a Rewarder of those who are seeking Him out." ⁷ By faith Noah, being apprized concerning that which is not as yet being observed, being pious, constructs an ark for the salvation of his house, through which he condemns the world, and became an enjoyer of the allotment of the righteousness which accords with faith." ⁸ By faith Abraham, being called, obeys, coming out into the place which he was about to obtain to enjoy as an allotment, and came out, not versed in where he is coming." ⁹ By faith he sojourns in the land of promise as in an alien land, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the joint enjoyers of the allotment of the same promise. " ¹⁰ For he waited for the city having foundations, whose Artificer and Architect is God. " ¹¹ By faith Sarah herself also obtained power for the disruption of seed, and brought forth beyond the period of her prime, since she deems the Promiser faithful;" ¹² wherefore, also, were begotten by one, and these of one who is deadened, according as the constellations of heaven in multitude, and as the sand beside the sea shore innumerable." ¹³ In faith died all these, not being requited with the promises, but perceiving them ahead and saluting them, and avowing that they are strangers and expatriates on the earth. " ¹⁴ For those who are saying such things are disclosing that they are seeking for a country of their own. ¹⁵ And, if, indeed, they remembered that from which they came out, they might have had occasion to go back." ¹⁶ Yet now they are craving a better, that is, a celestial; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be invoked as their God, for He makes ready for them a city." ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when undergoing trial, has offered Isaac, and he who receives the promises offered the only-begotten, ¹⁸ he to whom it was spoken that "In Isaac shall your seed be called, ¹⁹ reckoning that God is able to be rousing him from among the dead also; whence he recovers him in a parable also. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blesses Jacob and Esau concerning that which is impending also. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when dying, blesses each of the sons of Joseph, and worships, leaning on the top of his staff." ²² By faith Joseph, at his decease, remembers concerning the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gives directions concerning his bones." ²³ By faith Moses, being born, was hid three months by his fathers, because they perceived that the little boy was handsome, and they were not afraid of the mandate or the king." ²⁴ By faith Moses, becoming great, disowns the term "son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ preferring rather to be maltreated with the people of God than to have a temporary enjoyment of sin, ²⁶ deeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt, for he looked away to the reward." ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the fury of the king, for he is staunch as seeing the Invisible." ²⁸ By faith he has the passover made and the pouring of blood against the door jambs, lest the exterminator of the first-born may come into contact with them." ²⁹ By faith they crossed the Red Sea as through dry land, attempting which, the Egyptians were swallowed up." ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fall, being surrounded on seven days." ³¹ By faith Rahab, the prostitute, perished not with the stubborn, receiving the spies with peace." ³² And what still may I be saying? For the time will be lacking for me to relate concerning Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, besides Samuel also, and the prophets, ³³ who, through faith, subdue kingdoms, work righteousness, happened on promises, bar the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quench the power of fire, fled from the edge of the sword, were invigorated from infirmity, became strong in battle, rout the camps of aliens, ³⁵ women obtained their dead by resurrection. Now others are flogged, not anticipating deliverance, that they may be happening upon a better resurrection." ³⁶ Yet others got a trial of scoffings and scourgings, yet still more of bonds and jail." ³⁷ They are stoned, they are sawn, they are tried, they died, murdered by the sword; they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, in want, afflicted, maltreated" ³⁸ (of whom the world was not worthy), straying in wildernesses and mountains and caves and the holes of the earth." ³⁹ And these all, being testified to through faith, are not requited with the promise of God concerning us" ⁴⁰ (the looking forward is to something better), that, apart from us, they may not be perfected."

¹⁶ Then confess sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The operative petition of the just is availing much."

¹ Nothing, consequently, is now condemnation to those in Christ Jesus. Not according to flesh are they walking, but according to spirit, ² for the spirit's law of life in Christ Jesus frees you from the law of sin and death. ³ For what was impossible to the law, in which it was infirm through the flesh, did God, sending His own Son in the likeness of sin's flesh and concerning sin, He condemns sin in the flesh, ⁴ that the just requirement of the law may be fulfilled in us, who are not walking in accord with flesh, but in accord with spirit." ⁵ For those who are in accord with flesh are disposed to that which is of the flesh, yet those who are in accord with spirit to that which is of the spirit." ⁶ For the disposition of the flesh is death, yet the disposition of the spirit is life and peace, ⁷ because the disposition of the flesh is enmity to God, for it is not subject to the law of God, for neither is it able." ⁸ Now those who are in flesh are not able to please God. ⁹ Yet you are not in flesh, but in spirit, if so be that God's spirit is making its home in you. Now if anyone has not Christ's spirit, this one is not His." ¹⁰ Now if Christ is in you, the body, indeed, is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is life because of righteousness." ¹¹ Now if the spirit of Him Who rouses Jesus from among the dead is making its home in you, He Who rouses Christ Jesus from among the dead will also be vivifying your mortal bodies because of His spirit making its home in you." ¹² Consequently, then, brethren, debtors are we, not to the flesh, to be living in accord with flesh, ¹³ for if you are living in accord with flesh, you are about to be dying. Yet if, in spirit, you are putting the practices of the body to death, you will be living." ¹⁴ For whoever are being led by God's spirit, these are sons of God." ¹⁵ For you did not get slavery's spirit to fear again, but you got the spirit of sonship, in which we are crying, "Abba, Father!" ¹⁶ The spirit itself is testifying together with our spirit that we are children of God. ¹⁷ Yet if children, enjoyers also of an allotment, enjoyers, indeed, of an allotment from God, yet joint enjoyers of Christ's allotment, if so be that we are suffering together, that we should be glorified together also." ¹⁸ For I am reckoning that the sufferings of the current era do not deserve the glory about to be revealed for us. ¹⁹ For the premonition of the creation is awaiting the unveiling of the sons of God. ²⁰ For to vanity was the creation subjected, not voluntarily, but because of Him Who subjects it, in expectation" ²¹ that the creation itself, also, shall be freed from the slavery of corruption into the glorious freedom of the children of God." ²² For we are aware that the entire creation is groaning and travailing together until now. ²³ Yet not only so, but we ourselves also, who have the firstfruit of the spirit, we ourselves also, are groaning in ourselves, awaiting the sonship, the deliverance of our body." ²⁴ For to expectation were we saved. Now expectation, being observed, is not expectation, for what anyone is observing, why is he expecting it also? ²⁵ Now, if we are expecting what we are not observing, we are awaiting it with endurance." ²⁶ Now, similarly, the spirit also is aiding our infirmity, for what we should be praying for, to accord with what must be, we are not aware, but the spirit itself is pleading for us with inarticulate groanings." ²⁷ Now He Who is searching the hearts is aware what is the disposition of the spirit, for in accord with God is it pleading for the saints." ²⁸ Now we are aware that God is working all together for the good of those who are loving God, who are called according to the purpose" ²⁹ that, whom He foreknew, He designates beforehand, also, to be conformed to the image of His Son, for Him to be Firstborn among many brethren." ³⁰ Now whom He designates beforehand, these He calls also, and whom He calls, these He justifies also; now whom He justifies, these He glorifies also." ³¹ What then, shall we declare to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? ³² Surely, He Who spares not His own Son, but gives Him up for us all, how shall He not, together with Him, also, be graciously granting us all? ³³ Who will be indicting God's chosen ones? God, the Justifier? ³⁴ Who is the Condemner? Christ Jesus, the One dying, yet rather being roused, Who is also at God's right hand, Who is pleading also for our sakes? ³⁵ What shall be separating us from the love of God in Christ Jesus? Affliction, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? ³⁶ According as it is written that "On Thy account we are being put to death the whole day, We are reckoned as sheep for slaughter." ³⁷ Nay! in all these we are more than conquering through Him Who loves us. ³⁸ For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor messengers, nor sovereignties, nor the present, nor what is impending, nor powers, ³⁹ nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus, our Lord."

¹ The truth am I telling in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience testifying together with me in holy spirit, ² 2 That my sorrow is great, and unintermittent pain is in my heart -" ³ for I myself wished to be anathema from Christ - for my brethren, my relatives according to the flesh, ⁴ who are Israelites, whose is the sonship and the glory and the covenants and the legislation and the divine service and the promises;" ⁵ whose are the fathers, and out of whom is the Christ according to the flesh, Who is over all, God be blessed for the eons. Amen!" ⁶ Now it is not such as that the word of God has lapsed, for not all those out of Israel, these are Israel;" ⁷ neither that Abraham's seed are all children, but "In Isaac shall your seed be called." ⁸ That is, that the children of the flesh, not these are the children of God, but the children of the promise is He reckoning for the seed." ⁹ For the word of the promise is this: At "this seasonI shall come "and there will be for Sarah a son." ¹⁰ Yet, not only so, but Rebecca also is having her bed of one, Isaac, our father." ¹¹ For, not as yet being born, nor putting into practice anything good or bad, that the purpose of God may be remaining as a choice, not out of acts, but of Him Who is calling, ¹² it was declared to her that "The greater shall be slaving for the inferior, ¹³ According as it is written, "Jacob I love, yet Esau I hate." ¹⁴ What, then, shall we be declaring? Not that there is injustice with God? May it not be coming to that!" ¹⁵ For to Moses He is saying, "I shall be merciful to whomever I may be merciful, and I shall be pitying whomever I may be pitying." ¹⁶ Consequently, then, it is not of him who is willing, nor of him who is racing, but of God, the Merciful." ¹⁷ For the scripture is saying to Pharaoh that "For this selfsame thing I rouse you up, so that I should be displaying in you My power, and so that My name should be published in the entire earth." ¹⁸ Consequently, then, to whom He will, He is merciful, yet whom He will, He is hardening." ¹⁹ You will be protesting to me, then, "Why, then, is He still blaming? for who has withstood His intention? ²⁰ O man! who are you, to be sure, who are answering again to God? That which is molded will not protest to the molder, "Why do you make me thus? ²¹ Or has not the potter the right over the clay, out of the same kneading to make one vessel, indeed, for honor, yet one for dishonor? ²² Now if God, wanting to display His indignation and to make His powerful doings known, carries, with much patience, the vessels of indignation, adapted for destruction, ²³ it is that He should also be making known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He makes ready before for glory -" ²⁴ us, whom He calls also, not only out of the Jews, but out of the nations also." ²⁵ As He is saying in Hosea also: I shall be calling those who are not My people "My people,And she who is not beloved "Beloved, ²⁶ And it shall be, in the place where it was declared to them, 'Not My people are you,'There "they shall be called 'sons of the living God.'" ²⁷ Now Isaiah is crying over Israel, If the number of the sons of Israel should be as the sand of the sea, the residue shall be saved, ²⁸ for "a conclusive and concise accounting the Lord will be doing on the earth." ²⁹ And according as Isaiah declared before, "Except the Lord of hosts conserved us a seed, As Sodom would we become, And to Gomorrah would we be likened." ³⁰ What, then, shall we be declaring? That the nations who are not pursuing righteousness overtook righteousness, yet a righteousness which is out of faith." ³¹ Yet Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, into a law of righteousness does not outstrip." ³² Wherefore? Seeing that it is not out of faith, but as out of law works, they stumble on the stumbling stone, ³³ according as it is written: Lo! I am laying in Zion a Stumbling Stone and a Snare Rock, And the one believing on Him shall not be disgraced."

¹ Indeed, brethren, the delight of my heart and my petition to God for their sake is for salvation." ² For I am testifying to them that they have a zeal of God, but not in accord with recognition." ³ For they, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, were not subjected to the righteousness of God." ⁴ For Christ is the consummation of law for righteousness to everyone who is believing. ⁵ For Moses is writing of the righteousness which is of law, that a man who does the same shall be living in it." ⁶ Yet the righteousness of faith is saying thus: You may not be saying in your heart, Who will be ascending into heaven? - that is, to be leading Christ down -" ⁷ or Who will be descending into the submerged chaos? - that is, to be leading Christ up from among the dead." ⁸ But what is it saying? Near you is the declaration, in your mouth and in your heart - that is, the declaration of faith which we are heralding" ⁹ that, if ever you should be avowing with your mouth the declaration that Jesus is Lord, and should be believing in your heart that God rouses Him from among the dead, you shall be saved." ¹⁰ For with the heart it is believed for righteousness, yet with the mouth it is avowed for salvation." ¹¹ For the scripture is saying: Everyone who is believing on Him shall not be disgraced. ¹² For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same One is Lord of all, being rich for all who are invoking Him." ¹³ For everyone, whoever should be invoking the name of the Lord, shall be saved." ¹⁴ How, then, should they be invoking One in Whom they do not believe? Yet how should they be believing One of Whom they do not hear? Yet how should they be hearing apart from one heralding? ¹⁵ Yet how should they be heralding if ever they should not be commissioned? According as it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those bringing an evangel of good! ¹⁶ But not all obey the evangel, for Isaiah is saying, "Lord, who believes our tidings? ¹⁷ Consequently, faith is out of tidings, yet the tidings through a declaration of Christ." ¹⁸ But, I am saying, Do they not hear at all? To be sure! "Into the entire earth came out their utterance, And into the ends of the inhabited earth their declarations." ¹⁹ But, I am saying, Did not Israel know at all? First Moses is saying, I shall be provoking you to jealousy over those not a nation; Over an unintelligent nation shall I be vexing you." ²⁰ 20 Yet Isaiah is very daring and is saying, I was found by those who are not seeking Me; I became disclosed to those who are not inquiring for Me." ²¹ Now to Israel He is saying, The whole day I spread out My hands to a stubborn and contradicting people!"

¹ I am saying, then, Does not God thrust away His people? May it not be coming to that! For I also am an Israelite, out of Abraham's seed, Benjamin's tribe." ² God does not thrust away His people whom He foreknew. Or have you not perceived in Elijah what the scripture is saying, as he is pleading with God against Israel? ³ Lord, Thy prophets they kill, Thine altars they dig down, and I was left alone, and they are seeking my soul." ⁴ But what is that which apprises saying to him? I left for Myself seven thousand men who do not bow the knee to the image of Baal. ⁵ Thus, then, in the current era also, there has come to be a remnant according to the choice of grace." ⁶ Now if it is in grace, it is no longer out of works, else the grace is coming to be no longer grace. Now, if it is out of works, it is no longer grace, else the work is no longer work." ⁷ What then? What Israel is seeking for, this she did not encounter, yet the chosen encountered it. Now the rest were calloused, ⁸ even as it is written, God gives them a spirit of stupor, eyes not to be observing, and ears not to be hearing, till this very day." ⁹ And David is saying, Let their table become a trap and a mesh, And a snare and a repayment to them:" ¹⁰ Darkened be their eyes, not to be observing, And their backs bow together continually." ¹¹ I am saying, then, Do they not trip that they should be falling? May it not be coming to that! But in their offense is salvation to the nations, to provoke them to jealousy." ¹² Now if their offense is the world's riches and their discomfiture the nations' riches, how much rather that which fills them!" ¹³ Now to you am I saying, to the nations, in as much as, indeed, then, I am the apostle of the nations, I am glorifying my dispensation, ¹⁴ if somehow I should be provoking those of my flesh to jealousy and should be saving some of them. ¹⁵ For if their casting away is the conciliation of the world, what will the taking back be if not life from among the dead? ¹⁶ Now if the firstfruit is holy, the kneading is also; and if the root is holy, the boughs are also." ¹⁷ Now if some of the boughs are broken out, yet you, being a wild olive, are grafted among them, and became a joint participant of the root and fatness of the olive, ¹⁸ be not vaunting, you are not bearing the root, but the root you." ¹⁹ You will be declaring, then, "Boughs are broken out that I may be grafted in." ²⁰ Ideally! By unbelief are they broken out, yet you stand in faith. Be not haughty, but fear." ²¹ For if God spares not the natural boughs, neither will He be sparing you!" ²² Perceive, then, the kindness and severity of God! On those, indeed, who are falling, severity, yet on you, God's kindness, if you should be persisting in the kindness: else you also will be hewn out." ²³ Now they also, if they should not be persisting in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again." ²⁴ For if you were hewn out of an olive wild by nature, and, beside nature, are grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much rather shall these, who are in accord with nature, be grafted into their own olive tree!" ²⁵ For I am not willing for you to be ignorant of this secret, brethren, lest you may be passing for prudent among yourselves, that callousness, in part, on Israel has come, until the complement of the nations may be entering." ²⁶ And thus all Israel shall be saved, according as it is written, Arriving out of Zion shall be the Rescuer. He will be turning away irreverence from Jacob." ²⁷ And this is my covenant with them Whenever I should be eliminating their sins. ²⁸ As to the evangel, indeed, they are enemies because of you, yet, as to choice, they are beloved because of the fathers." ²⁹ For unregretted are the graces and the calling of God. ³⁰ For even as you once were stubborn toward God, yet now were shown mercy at their stubbornness, ³¹ thus these also are now stubborn to this mercy of yours, that now they also may be shown mercy." ³² For God locks up all together in stubbornness, that He should be merciful to all." ³³ O, the depth of the riches and the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How inscrutable are His judgments, and untraceable His ways!" ³⁴ For, who knew the mind of the Lord? or, who became His adviser? ³⁵ or, who gives to Him first, and it will be repaid Him? ³⁶ seeing that out of Him and through Him and for Him is all: to Him be the glory for the eons! Amen!

¹ I am entreating you, then, brethren, by the pities of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice, living, holy, well pleasing to God, your logical divine service, ² and not to be configured to this eon, but to be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for you to be testing what is the will of God, good and well pleasing and perfect." ³ For I am saying, through the grace which is given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to be overweening, beyond what your disposition must be, but to be of a sane disposition, as God parts to each the measure of faith." ⁴ For even as, in one body, we have many members, yet all the members have not the same function, ⁵ thus we, who are many, are one body in Christ, yet individually members of one another." ⁶ Now, having graces excelling, in accord with the grace which is given to us, whether prophecy, exercise it in accord with the analogy of the faith;" ⁷ or dispensing, in the dispensation; or the teacher, in teaching;" ⁸ or the entreater, in entreaty; the sharer, with generosity; the presider, with diligence; the merciful one, with glee." ⁹ Let love be unfeigned. Abhorring that which is wicked, clinging to good, ¹⁰ Let us have fond affection for one another with brotherly fondness, in honor deeming one another first, ¹¹ in diligence not slothful, fervent in spirit, slaving for the Lord, ¹² rejoicing in expectation, enduring affliction, persevering in prayer, ¹³ contributing to the needs of the saints, pursuing hospitality." ¹⁴ Bless those who are persecuting you: bless, and do not curse, ¹⁵ so as to be rejoicing with those rejoicing, lamenting with those lamenting." ¹⁶ being mutually disposed to one another, not being disposed to that which is high, but being led away to the humble. Do not come to pass for prudent with yourselves." ¹⁷ To no one render evil for evil, making ideal provision in the sight of all men, ¹⁸ if possible that which comes out from yourselves. Being at peace with all mankind, ¹⁹ you are not avenging yourselves, beloved, but be giving place to His indignation, for it is written, Mine is vengeance! I will repay! the Lord is saying. " ²⁰ But "If your enemy should be hungering, give him the morsel; if he should be thirsting, give him to drink, for in doing this you will be heaping embers of fire on his head." ²¹ Be not conquered by evil; but conquer evil with good.

¹ Let every soul be subject to the superior authorities, for there is no authority except under God. Now those which are, have been set under God, ² so that he who is resisting an authority has withstood God's mandate. Now those who have withstood, will be getting judgment for themselves, ³ for magistrates are not a fear to the good act, but to the evil. Now you do not want to be fearing the authority. Do good, and you will be having applause from it." ⁴ For it is God's servant for your good. Now if you should be doing evil, fear, for not feignedly is it wearing the sword. For it is God's servant, an avenger for indignation to him who is committing evil." ⁵ Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only because of indignation, but also because of conscience." ⁶ For therefore you are settling taxes also, for they are God's ministers, perpetuated for this self-same thing." ⁷ Render to all their dues, to whom tax, tax, to whom tribute, tribute, to whom fear, fear, to whom honor, honor." ⁸ To no one owe anything, except to be loving one another, for he who is loving another has fulfilled law." ⁹ For this: "You shall not commit adultery,you shall not murder,you shall not steal,you shall not testify falsely,you shall not covet,and if there is any other precept, it is summed up in this saying, in this: "You shall love your associate as yourself." ¹⁰ Love is not working evil to an associate. The complement, then, of law, is love." ¹¹ This, also, do, being aware of the era, that it is already the hour for us to be roused out of sleep, for now is our salvation nearer than when we believe." ¹² The night progresses, yet the day is near. We, then, should be putting off the acts of darkness, yet should be putting on the implements of light." ¹³ As in the day, respectably, should we be walking, not in revelries and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy, ¹⁴ but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and be making no provision for the lusts of the flesh."

⁹ And Jabez is honored above his brethren, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, `Because I have brought forth with grief.. <sup>10</sup> And Jabez calls to the Elohim of Israel, saying, `If blessing You do bless me, then You have made great my border, and Your hand has been with me, and You have kept [me] from evil--not to grieve me;' and Elohim brings in that which he asked.

¹⁰ And Jabez calls to the Elohim of Israel, saying, `If blessing You do bless me, then You have made great my border, and Your hand has been with me, and You have kept [me] from evil--not to grieve me;' and Elohim brings in that which he asked.
