No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God,

but for ours also. It will be reckoned to us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,

But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.

But more than that, we even boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

sin was indeed in the world before the law, but sin is not reckoned when there is no law.

But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died through the one man's trespass, much more surely have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many.

And the free gift is not like the effect of the one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification.

But law came in, with the result that the trespass multiplied; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.

The death he died, he died to sin, once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

No longer present your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and present your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

What then? Should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!

But thanks be to God that you, having once been slaves of sin, have become obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which you were entrusted,

But now that you have been freed from sin and enslaved to God, the advantage you get is sanctification. The end is eternal life.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Thus a married woman is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives; but if her husband dies, she is discharged from the law concerning the husband.

Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man, she is not an adulteress.

But now we are discharged from the law, dead to that which held us captive, so that we are slaves not under the old written code but in the new life of the Spirit.
