Berean Standard Bible BSB Bible
I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
For in my inner being I delight in God’s law.
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.
But I see another law at work in my body,
warring against
the law of my mind and holding me
captive to
the law of sin that dwells within me.
O
wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from
the body of this death?
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.
Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So
then, with my mind I serve
the law of God, but with my flesh I serve
the law of sin.
There is
therefore now no
condemnation to
them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after
the flesh, but after
the Spirit.
Therefore,
there is now no
condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death.
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:
For what
the law was powerless to do in that it was
weakened by
the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in
the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in
the flesh,
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
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.
Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.
For to be
carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace,
Because
the carnal mind is
enmity against God: for it is not subject to
the law of God, neither indeed can be.
because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
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.
You, however, are
controlled not by
the flesh, but by
the Spirit, if
the Spirit of God lives in you. And if
anyone does not have
the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.
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.
And if
the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from
the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from
the dead will also give life to your
mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation, but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.
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.
For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
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.
For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received
the Spirit of
sonship, by whom we cry, “
Abba! Father!”
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
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.
And if we are children,
then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be
glorified with Him.
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.
I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us.
For
the earnest expectation of
the creature waiteth for
the manifestation of
the sons of God.
The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God.
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
For
the creation was subjected to
futility, not by its own will, but because of
the One who subjected it, in hope
Because
the creature itself also shall be delivered from
the bondage of corruption into
the glorious liberty of
the children of God.
that
the creation itself will be set free from its
bondage to decay and brought into
the glorious freedom of
the children of God.
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
We know that
the whole creation has been
groaning together in
the pains of
childbirth until
the present time.
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.
Not only that, but we ourselves, who have
the firstfruits of
the Spirit,
groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons,
the redemption of our bodies.
But if we hope for that we see not,
then do we with
patience wait for it.
But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently.
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.
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words.
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.
And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
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.
And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.
For those God
foreknew, He also predestined to be
conformed to
the image of His Son, so that He would be
the firstborn among many brothers.
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.
And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also
glorified.
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
What
then shall we say in
response to
these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Who shall lay any thing to
the charge of God’s
elect? It is God that justifieth.
Who will bring any charge against God’s
elect? It is God who justifies.
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.
Who is
there to
condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at
the right hand of God—and He is
interceding for us.
Who shall separate us from
the love of Christ? shall
tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or
peril, or sword?
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
As it is written: “For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
Nay, in all
these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
For I am
convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor
principalities, neither
the present nor
the future, nor any powers,
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.
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
I speak the truth in Christ; I am not lying, as confirmed by my conscience in the Holy Spirit.
For I could wish that myself were
accursed from Christ for my brethren, my
kinsmen according to
the flesh:
For I could wish that I myself were
cursed and cut off from Christ for
the sake of my brothers, my own flesh and blood,
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;
the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory and the covenants; theirs the giving of the law, the temple worship, and the promises.
Whose are
the fathers, and of whom as concerning
the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever.
Amen.
Theirs are
the patriarchs, and from
them proceeds
the human descent of Christ, who is God over all,
forever worthy of praise!
Amen.
Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
It is not as though God’s word has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Nor because they are Abraham’s descendants are they all his children. On the contrary, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”
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.
So it is not the children of the flesh who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as offspring.
For this is
the word of promise, At this time will I come, and
Sarah shall have a son.
For this is what
the promise stated: “At
the appointed time I will return, and
Sarah will have a son.”
(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;)
Yet before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad, in order that God’s plan of election might stand,
It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
not by works but by Him who calls, she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”
What shall we say
then? Is
there unrighteousness with God? God
forbid.
What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Certainly not!
So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.
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.
For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
Therefore God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy, and He hardens whom He wants to
harden.
Thou
wilt say
then unto me, Why
doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
One of you will say to me, “Then why does God still find fault? For who can resist His will?”
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?
But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to Him who formed it, “Why did You make me like this?”
Hath not
the potter power over
the clay, of
the same
lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Does not
the potter have
the right to make from
the same
lump of clay one vessel for special occasions and another for common use?
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:
What if God, intending to show His wrath and make His power known, bore with great
patience the vessels of His wrath, prepared for destruction?
And that he might make known
the riches of his glory on
the vessels of mercy, which he had
afore prepared unto glory,
What if He did this to make the riches of His glory known to the vessels of His mercy, whom He prepared in advance for glory—
Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
including us, whom He has called not only from the Jews, but also from the Gentiles?
As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
As He says in
Hosea: “I will call
them ‘My People’ who are not My people, and I will call her ‘My Beloved’ who is not My beloved,”
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.
and, “It will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’”
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:
Isaiah
cries out concerning Israel: “Though
the number of
the Israelites is like
the sand of
the sea, only
the remnant will be saved.
For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
For the Lord will carry out His sentence on the earth thoroughly and decisively.”
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.
It is just as Isaiah
foretold: “Unless
the Lord of Hosts had left us descendants, we would have become like
Sodom, we would have resembled
Gomorrah.”
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
What then will we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;
But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it.
Wherefore? Because
they sought it not by faith, but as it were by
the works of
the law. For
they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
Why not? Because
their pursuit was not by faith, but as if it were by works.
They stumbled over
the stumbling stone,
As it is written, Behold, I lay in
Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and
whosoever believeth on him shall not be
ashamed.
as it is written: “See, I lay in
Zion a stone of
stumbling and a rock of
offense; and
the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is for their salvation.
For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
For I
testify about
them that
they are
zealous for God, but not on
the basis of knowledge.
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.
Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
For Christ is
the end of
the law, to bring righteousness to
everyone who believes.
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
For concerning the righteousness that is by the law, Moses writes: “The man who does these things will live by them.”
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:)
But
the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will
ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down)
Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
or, ‘Who will descend into
the Abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from
the dead).”
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;
But what does it say? “
The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is,
the word of faith we are
proclaiming:
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.
that if you
confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from
the dead, you will be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you
confess and are saved.
It is just as
the Scripture says: “
Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
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.
For
there is no difference between
Jew and Greek:
The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him,
For
whosoever shall call upon
the name of
the Lord shall be saved.
for, “
Everyone who calls on
the name of
the Lord will be saved.”
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?
How
then can
they call on
the One in whom
they have not believed? And how can
they believe in
the One of whom
they have not heard? And how can
they hear without someone to
preach?
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!
And how can
they preach unless
they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are
the feet of those who bring good news!”
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
But not all of
them welcomed the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
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.
But I ask, did they not hear? Indeed they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
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.
I ask instead, did Israel not understand? First, Moses says: “I will make you
jealous by those who are not a nation; I will make you
angry by a nation without understanding.”
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.
And Isaiah boldly says: “I was found by those who did not seek Me; I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me.”
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.
I ask
then, did God
reject His people? Certainly not! I am an
Israelite myself, a
descendant of Abraham, from
the tribe of Benjamin.
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,
God did not
reject His people, whom He
foreknew. Do you not know what
the Scripture says about
Elijah, how he appealed to God against Israel:
Lord,
they have killed thy prophets, and
digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and
they seek my life.
“Lord,
they have killed Your prophets and
torn down Your altars. I am
the only one left, and
they are seeking my life as well”?
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.
And what was
the divine reply to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed
the knee to
Baal.”
Even so
then at this present time also
there is a
remnant according to
the election of grace.
In
the same way, at
the present time
there is a
remnant chosen by grace.
And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
And if it is by grace, then it is no longer by works. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace.
What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
What
then? What Israel was seeking, it failed to obtain, but
the elect did.
The others were
hardened,
(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.
as it is written: “God gave
them a spirit of
stupor, eyes that could not see, and ears that could not hear, to this very day.”
And David saith, Let
their table be made a
snare, and a
trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto
them:
