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.
What
then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the law. For I would not have been aware of
coveting if the law had not said, “Do not
covet.”
Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.
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.
Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But in order that sin might be exposed as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
And if I do what I do not want to do, I admit that the law is good.
Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
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.
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.
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?”
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;
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
I ask
then, did they
stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Certainly not! However, because of their
trespass, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel
jealous.
Thou
wilt say
then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
You will say
then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be
grafted in.”
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.
Do not be
conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and
approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
Having
then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us
prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
We have different gifts according to the grace given us. If one’s gift is prophecy, let him use it in proportion to his faith;
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:
For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the one in authority?
Then do what is right, and you will have his
approval.
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.
Why,
then, do you judge your brother? Or why do you
belittle your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.
So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
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.
I am
convinced and fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself. But if
anyone regards something as unclean,
then for him it is unclean.
Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
Do not allow what you consider good, then, to be spoken of as evil.
Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things
wherewith one may
edify another.
So
then, let us pursue what leads to peace and to mutual
edification.
We
then that are strong ought to bear the
infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
We who are strong ought to bear with the shortcomings of the weak and not to please ourselves.

Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his
role.
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will
expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.
And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be
puffed up for one against another.
Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written. Then you will not take pride in one man over another.
But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are
puffed up, but the power.
But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing, and
then I will find out not only what these
arrogant people are saying, but what power they have.
Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the
covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for
then must ye needs go out of the world.
I was not including the sexually immoral of this world, or the
greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.
If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
So if you need to settle
everyday matters, do you
appoint as judges those of no standing in the church?
Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I
then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an
harlot? God
forbid.
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I
then take the members of Christ and unite them with a
prostitute? Never!
Do not deprive each other, except by mutual consent and for a time, so you may
devote yourselves to prayer.

Satan will not
tempt you through your lack of self-control.

What is my reward
then?
Verily that, when I
preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I
abuse not my power in the gospel.
What then is my reward? That in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not use up my rights in preaching it.
What say I
then? that the
idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
Am I suggesting,
then, that food sacrificed to an
idol is anything, or that an
idol is anything?
But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord’s, and the
fulness thereof:
But if someone tells you, “This food was offered to idols,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience—
When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s
supper.
Now
then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s
Supper you eat.

secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles,

then workers of miracles, and those with gifts of
healing, helping, administration, and various tongues.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

dim reflection as in a mirror;
then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part;
then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a
barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a
barbarian unto me.

What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
It is written in the Law: “By strange tongues and foreign lips I will speak to this people, but even
then they will not
listen to Me, says the Lord.”
Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but
prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers. Prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers.
How is it
then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a
psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto
edifying.

everyone has a
psalm or a teaching, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. All of these must be done to build up the church.

Therefore whether it were I or they, so we
preach, and so ye believed.
Whether,
then, it was I or they, this is what we
preach, and this is what you believed.
But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith.
For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised.
Then they also which are fallen
asleep in Christ are perished.
Then those also who have fallen
asleep in Christ have perished.
But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.
Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Else what shall they do which are
baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they
then baptized for the dead?
If these things are not so, what will those do who are
baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people
baptized for them?
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this
mortal shall have put on immortality,
then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory.
When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable and the
mortal with immortality,
then the saying that is written will come to pass: “Death has been
swallowed up in victory.”
Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you
recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
Let no man therefore
despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.
No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he can return to me, for I am expecting him along with the brothers.
Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons
thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
as you help us by your prayers.
Then many will give
thanks on our behalf for the favor shown us in answer to their prayers.
And to pass by you into
Macedonia, and to come again out of
Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.
I wanted to visit you on my way to
Macedonia, and to return to you from
Macedonia, and
then to have you help me on my way to
Judea.
For if I make you
sorry, who is he
then that maketh me
glad, but the same which is made
sorry by me?
I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not
Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from
thence into
Macedonia.
I had no peace in my spirit, because I did not find my brother
Titus there. So I said goodbye to them and went on to
Macedonia.
Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.
We are
confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
We are
confident,
then, and would
prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
For Christ’s love compels us, because we are
convinced that One died for all, therefore all died.
Now
then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did
beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s
stead, be ye
reconciled to God.
Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us. We
implore you on behalf of Christ: Be
reconciled to God.
We
then, as workers together with him,
beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
As God’s fellow workers,
then, we
urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.
And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own
selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
And not only did they do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us, because it was the will of God.
But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:
At the present time, your
surplus will meet their need, so that in turn their
surplus will meet your need.
Then there will be equality.
Wherefore
shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our
boasting on your behalf.
In full view of the churches,
then, show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our
boasting about you.
To
preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to
boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand.
so that we can
preach the gospel in the regions beyond you.
Then we will not be
boasting in the work already done in another man’s territory.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
It is not surprising,
then, if his servants
masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions.
I say again, Let no man think me a
fool; if otherwise, yet as a
fool receive me, that I may
boast myself a little.
I
repeat: Let no one take me for a
fool. But if you do,
then receive me as a
fool, so that I too may
boast a little.
Therefore I take pleasure in
infirmities, in reproaches, in
necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak,
then am I strong.
That is why, for the sake of Christ, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to
confer with
Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.
Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with
Barnabas, and took
Titus with me also.
Fourteen years later I went up again to Jerusalem, accompanied by
Barnabas. I took
Titus along also.
I do not
frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law,
then Christ is dead in vain.
I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, Christ died for nothing.
Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham.
So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God freely granted it to Abraham through a promise.
Wherefore
then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a
mediator.
Why
then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the arrival of the seed to whom the promise referred. It was administered through angels by a
mediator.
Is the law
then against the promises of God? God
forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life,
verily righteousness should have been by the law.
Is the law, then, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come from the law.
And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.
Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God.
Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.
Where is
then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have
plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
What
then has become of your blessing? For I can
testify that, if it were possible, you would have
torn out your eyes and given them to me.
