the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is revealed a righteousness of God 8h by faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith.

18 For 9 the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who 10 hold down the truth in unrighteousness; 19'because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, "being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; 11 that they may be without excuse: 21 because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; put became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened. 22oProfessing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 and 4 changed the glory of "the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness, that their bodies should be'dishonoured among themselves: 25 for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, "who is blessed 12 for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause " God gave them up unto 13 vile passions: for their ver.248 women changed the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working unseemli-Lev. 182 ness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due.

father of us all 17 (as it is written, PA father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were. 18 Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead ("he being about a hundred years old), and "the deadness of Sarah's womb: 20 yea, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully assured that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteous- 2 Tim. 3. ness. 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned unto him; 24 but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25" who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

Being therefore justified 5 1by faith, 4d let us have peace with God through our Lord Je. sus Christ; 2 through whom also we have had our access 5 by faith into this grace wherein we stand; and let us rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so, but let us also 7 rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 and patience, probation; and probation, hope: 5 and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Ghost which was given unto us. 6 For while we were yet weak, in due season " Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: for peradventure for 10 the good man some one would even dare to die. 8 But "God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified 11 by his blood, shall we be 23.
