  • Romans 15,16
    We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
    Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
    For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
    For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
    Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
    That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
    Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
    Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
    And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
    And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
    And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
    And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
    Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
    And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
    Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
    That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
    I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.
    For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
    Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
    Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
    But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
    For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.
    But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;
    Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.
    But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
    For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
    It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
    When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
    And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
    Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
    That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
    That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
    Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
    I commend unto you Phebe our sister, wh

  • Exodus 10
    And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him:
    And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD.
    And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
    Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:
    And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
    And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
    And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
    And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your God: but who are they that shall go?
    And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto the LORD.
    And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you.
    Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
    And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.
    And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
    And the locust went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
    For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
    Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
    Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only.
    And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
    And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.
    But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.
    And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
    And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
    They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
    And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.
    And Moses said, Thou m

  • Psalms 64,65
    Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
    Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
    Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
    That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
    They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
    They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
    But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
    So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
    And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
    The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
    Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
    O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
    Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
    Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
    By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
    Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
    Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
    They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
    Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
    Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
    Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
    They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
    The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

  • Exodus 9
    Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
    For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,
    Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.
    And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of Israel.
    And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
    And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
    And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
    And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
    And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
    And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.
    And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
    And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
    And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
    For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.
    For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
    And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
    As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
    Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.
    Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.
    He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
    And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.
    And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
    And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
    So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
    And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.
    Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
    And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

  • Romans 13,14
    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.
    Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
    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 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 execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
    Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
    For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
    Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
    Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
    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 be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
    Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
    And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
    The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
    Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
    But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
    Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
    For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
    Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
    Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
    One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
    He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
    For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
    For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
    For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
    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.
    For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
    So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
    Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
    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.
    But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
    Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
    For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost

  • Psalms 62,63
    Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
    He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
    How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
    They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
    My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
    He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
    In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
    Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
    Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
    Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
    God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
    Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
    O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
    To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
    Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
    Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
    My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
    When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
    Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
    My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
    But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
    They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
    But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

  • Romans 12
    I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
    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.
    For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
    For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
    So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
    Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
    Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
    Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
    Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
    Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
    Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
    Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
    Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
    Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
    Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
    Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
    Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
    If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
    Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
    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.
    Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

    O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
    Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
    Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
    Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
    That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
    God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
    Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
    Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
    Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
    Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
    Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
    Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
    Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
    From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
    For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
    I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
    For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
    Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.
    He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
    So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

    And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
    Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
    And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
    But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
    And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
    And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
    And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
    When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
    And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
    Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
    For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
    And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
    And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.
    Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
    And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
    Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
    And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
    And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
    And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
    And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had said.
    And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.
    And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
    And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river.
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
    And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:

  • Romans 10,11
    Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
    For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to 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.
    For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
    For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall 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:)
    Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again 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;
    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.
    For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
    For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
    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 whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall 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?
    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!
    But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
    So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
    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 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.

    But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
    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.

    Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
    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 if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
    What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
    (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.
    And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
