+Book 45        Romans
+
+45:001:001 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle,
+           separated unto the gospel of God,
+
+45:001:002 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy
+           scriptures,)
+
+45:001:003 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of
+           the seed of David according to the flesh;
+
+45:001:004 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the
+           spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
+
+45:001:005 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience
+           to the faith among all nations, for his name:
+
+45:001:006 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
+
+45:001:007 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints:
+           Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus
+           Christ.
+
+45:001:008 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that
+           your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
+
+45:001:009 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the
+           gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you
+           always in my prayers;
+
+45:001:010 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a
+           prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
+
+45:001:011 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some
+           spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
+
+45:001:012 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the
+           mutual faith both of you and me.
+
+45:001:013 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I
+           purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I
+           might have some fruit among you also, even as among other
+           Gentiles.
+
+45:001:014 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to
+           the wise, and to the unwise.
+
+45:001:015 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to
+           you that are at Rome also.
+
+45:001:016 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the
+           power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to
+           the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
+
+45:001:017 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to
+           faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
+
+45:001:018 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all
+           ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in
+           unrighteousness;
+
+45:001:019 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them;
+           for God hath shewed it unto them.
+
+45:001:020 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world
+           are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are
+           made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are
+           without excuse:
+
+45:001:021 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as
+           God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their
+           imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
+
+45:001:022 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
+
+45:001:023 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image
+           made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted
+           beasts, and creeping things.
+
+45:001:024 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the
+           lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies
+           between themselves:
+
+45:001:025 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and
+           served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for
+           ever. Amen.
+
+45:001:026 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even
+           their women did change the natural use into that which is
+           against nature:
+
+45:001:027 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the
+           woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men
+           working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves
+           that recompence of their error which was meet.
+
+45:001:028 And even as they did not like to retain God in their
+           knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those
+           things which are not convenient;
+
+45:001:029 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication,
+           wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder,
+           debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
+
+45:001:030 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters,
+           inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
+
+45:001:031 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural
+           affection, implacable, unmerciful:
+
+45:001:032 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such
+           things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have
+           pleasure in them that do them.
+
+45:002:001 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that
+           judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest
+           thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
+
+45:002:002 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth
+           against them which commit such things.
+
+45:002:003 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such
+           things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the
+           judgment of God?
+
+45:002:004 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance
+           and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God
+           leadeth thee to repentance?
+
+45:002:005 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto
+           thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the
+           righteous judgment of God;
+
+45:002:006 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
+
+45:002:007 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for
+           glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
+
+45:002:008 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth,
+           but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
+
+45:002:009 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth
+           evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
+
+45:002:010 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good,
+           to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
+
+45:002:011 For there is no respect of persons with God.
+
+45:002:012 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish
+           without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be
+           judged by the law;
+
+45:002:013 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the
+           doers of the law shall be justified.
+
+45:002:014 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature
+           the things contained in the law, these, having not the law,
+           are a law unto themselves:
+
+45:002:015 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their
+           conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean
+           while accusing or else excusing one another;)
+
+45:002:016 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus
+           Christ according to my gospel.
+
+45:002:017 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and
+           makest thy boast of God,
+
+45:002:018 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more
+           excellent, being instructed out of the law;
+
+45:002:019 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind,
+           a light of them which are in darkness,
+
+45:002:020 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast
+           the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
+
+45:002:021 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not
+           thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou
+           steal?
+
+45:002:022 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou
+           commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit
+           sacrilege?
+
+45:002:023 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the
+           law dishonourest thou God?
+
+45:002:024 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through
+           you, as it is written.
+
+45:002:025 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but
+           if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made
+           uncircumcision.
+
+45:002:026 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the
+           law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
+
+45:002:027 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil
+           the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost
+           transgress the law?
+
+45:002:028 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that
+           circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
+
+45:002:029 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is
+           that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose
+           praise is not of men, but of God.
+
+45:003:001 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of
+           circumcision?
+
+45:003:002 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed
+           the oracles of God.
+
+45:003:003 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make
+           the faith of God without effect?
+
+45:003:004 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it
+           is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings,
+           and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
+
+45:003:005 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God,
+           what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I
+           speak as a man)
+
+45:003:006 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
+
+45:003:007 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto
+           his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
+
+45:003:008 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some
+           affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose
+           damnation is just.
+
+45:003:009 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we
+           have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all
+           under sin;
+
+45:003:010 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
+
+45:003:011 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh
+           after God.
+
+45:003:012 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become
+           unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
+
+45:003:013 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they
+           have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
+
+45:003:014 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
+
+45:003:015 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
+
+45:003:016 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
+
+45:003:017 And the way of peace have they not known:
+
+45:003:018 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
+
+45:003:019 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to
+           them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped,
+           and all the world may become guilty before God.
+
+45:003:020 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be
+           justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of
+           sin.
+
+45:003:021 But now the righteousness of God without the law is
+           manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
+
+45:003:022 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus
+           Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is
+           no difference:
+
+45:003:023 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
+
+45:003:024 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption
+           that is in Christ Jesus:
+
+45:003:025 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in
+           his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of
+           sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
+
+45:003:026 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he
+           might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in
+           Jesus.
+
+45:003:027 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works?
+           Nay: but by the law of faith.
+
+45:003:028 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without
+           the deeds of the law.
+
+45:003:029 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the
+           Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
+
+45:003:030 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by
+           faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
+
+45:003:031 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea,
+           we establish the law.
+
+45:004:001 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining
+           to the flesh, hath found?
+
+45:004:002 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to
+           glory; but not before God.
+
+45:004:003 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was
+           counted unto him for righteousness.
+
+45:004:004 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace,
+           but of debt.
+
+45:004:005 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that
+           justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for
+           righteousness.
+
+45:004:006 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto
+           whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
+
+45:004:007 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and
+           whose sins are covered.
+
+45:004:008 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
+
+45:004:009 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or
+           upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was
+           reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
+
+45:004:010 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in
+           uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
+
+45:004:011 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:
+
+45:004:012 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.
+
+45:004:013 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.
+
+45:004:014 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void,
+           and the promise made of none effect:
+
+45:004:015 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is
+           no transgression.
+
+45:004:016 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,
+
+45:004:017 (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.
+
+45:004:018 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.
+
+45:004:019 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 Sarah's womb:
+
+45:004:020 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but
+           was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
+
+45:004:021 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was
+           able also to perform.
+
+45:004:022 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
+
+45:004:023 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed
+           to him;
+
+45:004:024 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on
+           him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
+
+45:004:025 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for
+           our justification.
+
+45:005:001 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God
+           through our Lord Jesus Christ:
+
+45:005:002 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein
+           we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
+
+45:005:003 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing
+           that tribulation worketh patience;
+
+45:005:004 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
+
+45:005:005 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.
+
+45:005:006 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died
+           for the ungodly.
+
+45:005:007 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet
+           peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
+
+45:005:008 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
+           yet sinners, Christ died for us.
+
+45:005:009 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be
+           saved from wrath through him.
+
+45:005:010 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.
+
+45:005:011 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus
+           Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
+
+45:005:012 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:
+
+45:005:013 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not
+           imputed when there is no law.
+
+45:005:014 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.
+
+45:005:015 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.
+
+45:005:016 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.
+
+45:005:017 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.)
+
+45:005:018 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.
+
+45:005:019 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by
+           the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
+
+45:005:020 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But
+           where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
+
+45:005:021 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign
+           through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our
+           Lord.
+
+45:006:001 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace
+           may abound?
+
+45:006:002 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any
+           longer therein?
+
+45:006:003 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus
+           Christ were baptized into his death?
+
+45:006:004 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.
+
+45:006:005 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his
+           death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
+
+45:006:006 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.
+
+45:006:007 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
+
+45:006:008 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also
+           live with him:
+
+45:006:009 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more;
+           death hath no more dominion over him.
+
+45:006:010 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he
+           liveth, he liveth unto God.
+
+45:006:011 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin,
+           but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
+
+45:006:012 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye
+           should obey it in the lusts thereof.
+
+45:006:013 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.
+
+45:006:014 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under
+           the law, but under grace.
+
+45:006:015 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but
+           under grace? God forbid.
+
+45:006:016 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?
+
+45:006:017 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.
+
+45:006:018 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of
+           righteousness.
+
+45:006:019 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.
+
+45:006:020 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from
+           righteousness.
+
+45:006:021 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now
+           ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
+
+45:006:022 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God,
+           ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting
+           life.
+
+45:006:023 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal
+           life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
+
+45:007:001 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?
+
+45:007:002 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.
+
+45:007:003 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.
+
+45:007:004 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.
+
+45:007:005 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.
+
+45:007:006 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.
+
+45:007:007 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.
+
+45:007:008 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all
+           manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
+
+45:007:009 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment
+           came, sin revived, and I died.
+
+45:007:010 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be
+           unto death.
+
+45:007:011 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and
+           by it slew me.
+
+45:007:012 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just,
+           and good.
+
+45:007:013 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.
+
+45:007:014 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold
+           under sin.
+
+45:007:015 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I
+           not; but what I hate, that do I.
+
+45:007:016 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law
+           that it is good.
+
+45:007:017 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in
+           me.
+
+45:007:018 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.
+
+45:007:019 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would
+           not, that I do.
+
+45:007:020 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but
+           sin that dwelleth in me.
+
+45:007:021 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present
+           with me.
+
+45:007:022 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
+
+45:007:023 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.
+
+45:007:024 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body
+           of this death?
+
+45:007:025 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.
+
+45:008:001 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in
+           Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the
+           Spirit.
+
+45:008:002 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me
+           free from the law of sin and death.
+
+45:008:003 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the
+           flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful
+           flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
+
+45:008:004 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us,
+           who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
+
+45:008:005 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the
+           flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the
+           Spirit.
+
+45:008:006 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually
+           minded is life and peace.
+
+45:008:007 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not
+           subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
+
+45:008:008 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
+
+45:008:009 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that
+           the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the
+           Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
+
+45:008:010 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but
+           the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
+
+45:008:011 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead
+           dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall
+           also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in
+           you.
+
+45:008:012 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live
+           after the flesh.
+
+45:008:013 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye
+           through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall
+           live.
+
+45:008:014 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons
+           of God.
+
+45:008:015 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear;
+           but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry,
+           Abba, Father.
+
+45:008:016 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are
+           the children of God:
+
+45:008:017 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs
+           with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be
+           also glorified together.
+
+45:008:018 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not
+           worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed
+           in us.
+
+45:008:019 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the
+           manifestation of the sons of God.
+
+45:008:020 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly,
+           but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
+
+45:008:021 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the
+           bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the
+           children of God.
+
+45:008:022 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in
+           pain together until now.
+
+45:008:023 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the
+           firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within
+           ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of
+           our body.
+
+45:008:024 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope:
+           for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
+
+45:008:025 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience
+           wait for it.
+
+45:008:026 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know
+           not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself
+           maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be
+           uttered.
+
+45:008:027 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of
+           the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints
+           according to the will of God.
+
+45:008:028 And we know that all things work together for good to them
+           that love God, to them who are the called according to his
+           purpose.
+
+45:008:029 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be
+           conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the
+           firstborn among many brethren.
+
+45:008:030 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and
+           whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified,
+           them he also glorified.
+
+45:008:031 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who
+           can be against us?
+
+45:008:032 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us
+           all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
+
+45:008:033 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is
+           God that justifieth.
+
+45:008:034 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather,
+           that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who
+           also maketh intercession for us.
+
+45:008:035 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall
+           tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or
+           nakedness, or peril, or sword?
+
+45:008:036 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long;
+           we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
+
+45:008:037 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through
+           him that loved us.
+
+45:008:038 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels,
+           nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things
+           to come,
+
+45:008:039 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able
+           to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus
+           our Lord.
+
+45:009:001 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also
+           bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
+
+45:009:002 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
+
+45:009:003 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my
+           brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
+
+45:009:004 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the
+           glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the
+           service of God, and the promises;
+
+45:009:005 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh
+           Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
+
+45:009:006 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they
+           are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
+
+45:009:007 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all
+           children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
+
+45:009:008 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are
+           not the children of God: but the children of the promise are
+           counted for the seed.
+
+45:009:009 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and
+           Sarah shall have a son.
+
+45:009:010 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one,
+           even by our father Isaac;
+
+45:009:011 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any
+           good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election
+           might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
+
+45:009:012 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
+
+45:009:013 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
+
+45:009:014 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God
+           forbid.
+
+45:009:015 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have
+           mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have
+           compassion.
+
+45:009:016 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that
+           runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
+
+45:009:017 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same
+           purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in
+           thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the
+           earth.
+
+45:009:018 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom
+           he will he hardeneth.
+
+45:009:019 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For
+           who hath resisted his will?
+
+45:009:020 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall
+           the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made
+           me thus?
+
+45:009:021 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to
+           make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
+
+45:009:022 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power
+           known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath
+           fitted to destruction:
+
+45:009:023 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the
+           vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
+
+45:009:024 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also
+           of the Gentiles?
+
+45:009:025 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which
+           were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
+
+45:009:026 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said
+           unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called
+           the children of the living God.
+
+45:009:027 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the
+           children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall
+           be saved:
+
+45:009:028 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in
+           righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon
+           the earth.
+
+45:009:029 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left
+           us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto
+           Gomorrha.
+
+45:009:030 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not
+           after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the
+           righteousness which is of faith.
+
+45:009:031 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness,
+           hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
+
+45:009:032 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were
+           by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that
+           stumblingstone;
+
+45:009:033 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and
+           rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be
+           ashamed.
+
+45:010:001 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is,
+           that they might be saved.
+
+45:010:002 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not
+           according to knowledge.
+
+45:010:003 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going
+           about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted
+           themselves unto the righteousness of God.
+
+45:010:004 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every
+           one that believeth.
+
+45:010:005 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law,
+           That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
+
+45:010:006 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise,
+           Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that
+           is, to bring Christ down from above:)
+
+45:010:007 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up
+           Christ again from the dead.)
+
+45:010:008 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth,
+           and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
+
+45:010:009 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and
+           shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the
+           dead, thou shalt be saved.
+
+45:010:010 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with
+           the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
+
+45:010:011 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not
+           be ashamed.
+
+45:010:012 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for
+           the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
+
+45:010:013 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
+           saved.
+
+45:010:014 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not
+           believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have
+           not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
+
+45:010:015 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is
+           written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the
+           gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
+
+45:010:016 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith,
+           Lord, who hath believed our report?
+
+45:010:017 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of
+           God.
+
+45:010:018 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went
+           into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the
+           world.
+
+45:010:019 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will
+           provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a
+           foolish nation I will anger you.
+
+45:010:020 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that
+           sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not
+           after me.
+
+45:010:021 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my
+           hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
+
+45:011:001 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I
+           also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of
+           Benjamin.
+
+45:011:002 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye
+           not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh
+           intercession to God against Israel saying,
+
+45:011:003 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine
+           altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
+
+45:011:004 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to
+           myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the
+           image of Baal.
+
+45:011:005 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant
+           according to the election of grace.
+
+45:011:006 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace
+           is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more
+           grace: otherwise work is no more work.
+
+45:011:007 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for;
+           but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
+
+45:011:008 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of
+           slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they
+           should not hear;) unto this day.
+
+45:011:009 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap,
+           and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
+
+45:011:010 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow
+           down their back alway.
+
+45:011:011 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God
+           forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto
+           the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
+
+45:011:012 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the
+           diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more
+           their fulness?
+
+45:011:013 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of
+           the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
+
+45:011:014 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my
+           flesh, and might save some of them.
+
+45:011:015 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the
+           world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the
+           dead?
+
+45:011:016 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if
+           the root be holy, so are the branches.
+
+45:011:017 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a
+           wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them
+           partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
+
+45:011:018 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou
+           bearest not the root, but the root thee.
+
+45:011:019 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might
+           be graffed in.
+
+45:011:020 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou
+           standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
+
+45:011:021 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he
+           also spare not thee.
+
+45:011:022 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them
+           which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou
+           continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut
+           off.
+
+45:011:023 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be
+           graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
+
+45:011:024 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by
+           nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive
+           tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural
+           branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
+
+45:011:025 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this
+           mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that
+           blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of
+           the Gentiles be come in.
+
+45:011:026 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There
+           shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away
+           ungodliness from Jacob:
+
+45:011:027 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away
+           their sins.
+
+45:011:028 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but
+           as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's
+           sakes.
+
+45:011:029 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
+
+45:011:030 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now
+           obtained mercy through their unbelief:
+
+45:011:031 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your
+           mercy they also may obtain mercy.
+
+45:011:032 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might
+           have mercy upon all.
+
+45:011:033 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of
+           God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past
+           finding out!
+
+45:011:034 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his
+           counsellor?
+
+45:011:035 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed
+           unto him again?
+
+45:011:036 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to
+           whom be glory for ever. Amen.
+
+45:012:001 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that
+           ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable
+           unto God, which is your reasonable service.
+
+45:012:002 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by
+           the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that
+           good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
+
+45:012:003 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that
+           is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he
+           ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath
+           dealt to every man the measure of faith.
+
+45:012:004 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have
+           not the same office:
+
+45:012:005 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one
+           members one of another.
+
+45:012:006 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is
+           given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to
+           the proportion of faith;
+
+45:012:007 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that
+           teacheth, on teaching;
+
+45:012:008 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him
+           do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that
+           sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
+
+45:012:009 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil;
+           cleave to that which is good.
+
+45:012:010 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in
+           honour preferring one another;
+
+45:012:011 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
+
+45:012:012 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant
+           in prayer;
+
+45:012:013 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
+
+45:012:014 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
+
+45:012:015 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that
+           weep.
+
+45:012:016 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things,
+           but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own
+           conceits.
+
+45:012:017 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in
+           the sight of all men.
+
+45:012:018 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably
+           with all men.
+
+45:012:019 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place
+           unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will
+           repay, saith the Lord.
+
+45:012:020 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give
+           him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on
+           his head.
+
+45:012:021 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
+
+45:013:001 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is
+           no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
+
+45:013:002 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the
+           ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to
+           themselves damnation.
+
+45:013:003 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil.
+           Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is
+           good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
+
+45:013:004 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do
+           that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in
+           vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute
+           wrath upon him that doeth evil.
+
+45:013:005 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but
+           also for conscience sake.
+
+45:013:006 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's
+           ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
+
+45:013:007 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is
+           due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom
+           honour.
+
+45:013:008 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that
+           loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
+
+45:013:009 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill,
+           Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou
+           shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is
+           briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love
+           thy neighbour as thyself.
+
+45:013:010 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the
+           fulfilling of the law.
+
+45:013:011 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake
+           out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we
+           believed.
+
+45:013:012 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore
+           cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour
+           of light.
+
+45:013:013 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and
+           drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife
+           and envying.
+
+45:013:014 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision
+           for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
+
+45:014:001 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful
+           disputations.
+
+45:014:002 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is
+           weak, eateth herbs.
+
+45:014:003 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let
+           not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath
+           received him.
+
+45:014:004 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own
+           master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for
+           God is able to make him stand.
+
+45:014:005 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth
+           every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own
+           mind.
+
+45:014:006 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he
+           that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it.
+           He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks;
+           and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth
+           God thanks.
+
+45:014:007 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
+
+45:014:008 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we
+           die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die,
+           we are the Lord's.
+
+45:014:009 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that
+           he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
+
+45:014:010 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at
+           nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment
+           seat of Christ.
+
+45:014:011 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall
+           bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
+
+45:014:012 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
+
+45:014:013 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge
+           this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion
+           to fall in his brother's way.
+
+45:014:014 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is
+           nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing
+           to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
+
+45:014:015 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou
+           not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ
+           died.
+
+45:014:016 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
+
+45:014:017 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but
+           righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
+
+45:014:018 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to
+           God, and approved of men.
+
+45:014:019 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace,
+           and things wherewith one may edify another.
+
+45:014:020 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are
+           pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
+
+45:014:021 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any
+           thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is
+           made weak.
+
+45:014:022 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he
+           that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
+
+45:014:023 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth
+           not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
+
+45:015:001 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the
+           weak, and not to please ourselves.
+
+45:015:002 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to
+           edification.
+
+45:015:003 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written,
+           The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
+
+45:015:004 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for
+           our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the
+           scriptures might have hope.
+
+45:015:005 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be
+           likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
+
+45:015:006 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the
+           Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
+
+45:015:007 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us
+           to the glory of God.
+
+45:015:008 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision
+           for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the
+           fathers:
+
+45:015:009 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it
+           is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the
+           Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
+
+45:015:010 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
+
+45:015:011 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all
+           ye people.
+
+45:015:012 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and
+           he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall
+           the Gentiles trust.
+
+45:015:013 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in
+           believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of
+           the Holy Ghost.
+
+45:015:014 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye
+           also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able
+           also to admonish one another.
+
+45:015:015 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto
+           you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace
+           that is given to me of God,
+
+45:015:016 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles,
+           ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the
+           Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy
+           Ghost.
+
+45:015:017 I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in
+           those things which pertain to God.
+
+45:015:018 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which
+           Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient,
+           by word and deed,
+
+45:015:019 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit
+           of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto
+           Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
+
+45:015:020 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ
+           was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
+
+45:015:021 But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall
+           see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
+
+45:015:022 For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to
+           you.
+
+45:015:023 But now having no more place in these parts, and having a
+           great desire these many years to come unto you;
+
+45:015:024 Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you:
+           for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my
+           way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with
+           your company.
+
+45:015:025 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
+
+45:015:026 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a
+           certain contribution for the poor saints which are at
+           Jerusalem.
+
+45:015:027 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For
+           if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual
+           things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal
+           things.
+
+45:015:028 When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them
+           this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
+
+45:015:029 And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the
+           fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
+
+45:015:030 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake,
+           and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with
+           me in your prayers to God for me;
+
+45:015:031 That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in
+           Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be
+           accepted of the saints;
+
+45:015:032 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may
+           with you be refreshed.
+
+45:015:033 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
+
+45:016:001 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the
+           church which is at Cenchrea:
+
+45:016:002 That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that
+           ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for
+           she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.
+
+45:016:003 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:
+
+45:016:004 Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not
+           only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
+
+45:016:005 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my
+           well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto
+           Christ.
+
+45:016:006 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.
+
+45:016:007 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my
+           fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also
+           were in Christ before me.
+
+45:016:008 Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.
+
+45:016:009 Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.
+
+45:016:010 Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of
+           Aristobulus' household.
+
+45:016:011 Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the
+           household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord.
+
+45:016:012 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute
+           the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord.
+
+45:016:013 Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
+
+45:016:014 Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the
+           brethren which are with them.
+
+45:016:015 Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and
+           Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.
+
+45:016:016 Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ
+           salute you.
+
+45:016:017 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions
+           and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned;
+           and avoid them.
+
+45:016:018 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but
+           their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive
+           the hearts of the simple.
+
+45:016:019 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad
+           therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto
+           that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
+
+45:016:020 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet
+           shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
+
+45:016:021 Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater,
+           my kinsmen, salute you.
+
+45:016:022 I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.
+
+45:016:023 Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you.
+           Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus
+           a brother.
+
+45:016:024 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
+
+45:016:025 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my
+           gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the
+           revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the
+           world began,
+
+45:016:026 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the
+           prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God,
+           made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
+
+45:016:027 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever.
+           Amen.

+
+Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our Web sites at:

+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
+Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
+eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date.  This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the

+announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
