- For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”
- For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.
- Who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error. Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting.
- Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.
- Who “will pay back to everyone according to their works.”
- For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
- Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight; for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
- But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets; even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction.
- For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
- Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
- Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope.
- And hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
- For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
- For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a good person someone would even dare to die. But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
- For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.
- But the free gift isn’t like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.
- For as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.
- That as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
