Adam to Moses, even over them that

death reigned by one; much more
they which receive abundance of
grace and of the gift of righteousness

2 For the woman which hath a

the husband be dead, she is loosed

3 So then bif, while her husband

is free from that law; so that she is

7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, h I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known || lust, except the law had said, i Thou shalt not covet. 8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. Fort without the law sin was dead.

9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. 10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.

11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

13 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.

17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

19 For the good that I would, I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

11 For the Scripture saith, iWhosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12 Fork there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for I 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 Ilow 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, 9 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 tour report?

17 So then faith cometh by 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 are no people, and by 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.

CHAPTER XI.

1 God hath not cast off all Israel. 7 Some were elected, though the rest were hard ened. 16 There is hope of their conver sion. 18 The Gentiles may not insult upon them: 20 for there is a promise of their salvation. 33 God's judgments are unsearchable.

14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and Pmight save some of them.

15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?"
