2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3 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.
4 For Christ isthe end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those
things shall live by them.
6 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:)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, evenin thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the
word of faith, which we preach;
9 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.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made
unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 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.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 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?
15 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!
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our
report?
17 So then faith comethby hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 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.
19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them
that areno people, andby a foolish nation I will anger you.
20 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.
21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and
gainsaying people.
1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed
of Abraham, ofthe tribe of Benjamin.
2 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,
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and
they seek my life.
4 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 ofBaal.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then is itno more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it beof
works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained
it, and the rest were blinded
8 (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.

9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a
recompence unto them:
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but ratherthrough their
fall salvation is comeunto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Now if the fall of them bethe riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of
the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine
office:
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which aremy flesh, and might save some
of them.
15 For if the casting away of them bethe reconciling of the world, what shallthe receiving of
them be, but life from the dead?
16 For if the firstfruit beholy, the lump isalso holy: and if the root beholy, so arethe
branches.
17 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;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root
thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not
highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heedlest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward
thee, goodness, if thou continue in hisgoodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff
them in again.
24 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?
25 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.
26 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:
27 For this ismy covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they areenemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they
arebeloved for the fathers' sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God arewithout repentance.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their
unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain
mercy.
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable arehis
judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, areall things: to whom beglory for ever. Amen.

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living
sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which isyour reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that
ye may prove what isthat good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of
himselfmore highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to
every man the measure of faith.
4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
5 So we, beingmany, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let
us prophesyaccording to the proportion of faith;
7 Or ministry, let us waiton ourministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do itwith simplicity; he that
ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Letlove be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
10 Bekindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16 Beof the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low
estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rathergive place unto wrath: for it is written,
Vengeance ismine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 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.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
1 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.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist
shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 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:
4 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 executewrath upon
him that doeth evil.
5 Wherefore yemust needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon
this very thing.
7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom;
fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the
law.
9 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 beany other commandment, it is
briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
