1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

<>Abraham

2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

<>v. 2, <>justified

3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

<>Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

<>grace, <>of debt

5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

<>believeth on him, <>him that justifieth, <>ungodly

6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

<>Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also?, <>the circumcision, <>circumcision, <>the uncircumcision

10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

<>uncircumcised, <>them that believe

12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.

13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

<>heir

14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:

15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

<>transgression

16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

<>it is of faith, that it might be by grace, <>to the end the promise might be sure, <>Abraham … is the father of us all

17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

<>As it is written, <>it is written, <>God … quickeneth the dead, <>quickeneth, <>dead, <>calleth those things which be not as though they were

18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

<>Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, <>hope … hope

19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:

<>his own body now dead … the deadness of Sara's womb

20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

<>vv. 20-22, <>unbelief

21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

<>vv. 20-22, <>persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform, <>what he had promised, he was able also to perform

22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

<>vv. 20-22

23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

<>believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, <>believe, <>raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead

25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

<>was delivered for our offences, <>offences

1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

<>justified by faith, <>justified, <>we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, <>peace

2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

<>By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, <>grace, <>hope

3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

<>we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience, <>we glory in tribulations, <>patience

4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

<>the love of God

6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

<>v. 6, <>in due time Christ died for the ungodly, <>due time, <>ungodly

7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

<>scarcely for a righteous man will one die, <>die … die

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

<>while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us

9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

<>justified by his blood, <>his blood, <>we shall be saved from wrath through him, <>we shall be saved

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

<>vv. 10-11, <>we were enemies, <>we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, <>we shall be saved by his life

11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

<>vv. 10-11, <>the atonement

12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

<>by one man sin entered into the world, <>death by sin, <>death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned, <>all have sinned

13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

<>sin is not imputed when there is no law

14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

<>death reigned from Adam to Moses, <>death reigned, <>Adam … Adam, <>Moses, <>Moses … is the figure of him that was to come., <>them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, <>Adam … is the figure of him that was to come., <>transgression

15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

<>offence … offence, <>the free gift … the gift by grace, <>if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many, <>be dead, <>the gift by grace … is by one man, Jesus Christ

16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.

<>many offences

17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

<>they which receive abundance of grace, <>abundance of grace, <>the gift of righteousness

18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

<>v. 18

19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

<>by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous, <>made righteous

20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

<>the law entered, that the offence might abound, <>where sin abounded, grace did much more abound

21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

<>sin hath reigned unto death

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

<>Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?, <>grace

2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

<>God forbid

3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

<>buried, <>death, <>Christ was raised up from the dead, <>dead, <>we also should walk in newness of life, <>newness of life

5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

<>we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection

6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

<>our old man is crucified with him, <>we should not serve sin

7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

<>v. 8

9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

<>death hath no more dominion over him

10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

<>he died unto sin once, <>he liveth, he liveth, <>he liveth unto God

11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

<>lusts

13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

<>instruments … instruments, <>yield yourselves unto God

14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

<>v. 15

16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

<>that form of doctrine which was delivered you

18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

<>v. 20

21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

<>What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed?, <>those things whereof ye are now ashamed, <>those things whereof ye are now ashamed … the end of those things is death

22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

<>servants to God, <>fruit unto holiness, <>everlasting life

23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

<>the wages of sin is death, <>the gift of God, <>eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord

1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?

2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

<>the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth, <>the woman which hath an husband, <>woman, <>husband … husband … husband … husband, <>be dead

3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

<>if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress, <>married … married, <>an adulteress

4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

<>the body of Christ, <>him who is raised from the dead, <>we should bring forth fruit

5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

<>the motions of sins, <>the motions of sins … bring forth fruit unto death, <>motions, <>sins … were by the law, <>death

6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

<>now we are delivered from the law, <>we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter

7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

<>God forbid, <>I had not known sin, but by the law, <>lust, <>Thou shalt not covet.

8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.

<>concupiscence, <>without the law sin was dead

9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

<>when the commandment came, sin revived, <>sin revived, and I died

10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.

<>the commandment … was ordained to life, <>ordained

11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

<>sin … deceived me

12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

<>v. 12

13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

<>that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful

14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

<>the law is spiritual, <>carnal

15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

<>what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I

16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

<>the law … is good

17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

<>in my flesh … dwelleth no good thing

19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

<>I delight in the law of God, <>delight

23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

<>warring, <>bringing me into captivity

24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

<>deliver me

25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
