10:1 Brothers [and sisters], my heart's desire and supplication toGod on behalf them is for salvation.

2 For I am testifying about them that they are zealous for God, butnot according to knowledge, 3 because [they are not knowing] therighteousness of God. But seeking to put forth ones own righteousness,they have not become subject to God's righteousness.

4 For the goal of Law is the Messiah, for righteousness for all whoare believing. 5 Moses writes about the righteousness from Law that:

"The one doing these things will live in/by them ." (Lev 18:5)

6 But [about] the righteousness from faith he says:

"Do not say in your heart (Deut 9:4), 'Who will go up intoheaven ?'" (that is, to bring the Messiah down)

7 or

"Who will go down into the abyss ?" (Deut 30:14) (that is, to bringthe Messiah up from the dead).

8 But what is does he say?

"The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart " (Deut30:14) (that is, the word of faith that we are preaching),

9 because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe inyour heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For bythe heart it is believed unto righteousness and by the mouth it is confessedunto salvation. 11 For Scripture says,

"Everyone believing upon him will not be put to shame ." (Isa28:16)

12 For there is no distinctionJew or Greekfor he [is] Lord of all, richly

blessing all who are calling on him.13 For whoever may call upon the name of the Lord will be

saved. (Joel 2:32)

14 How then might they call on one in whom they have not believed?And how will they believe in one of whom they have not heard?And how will they hear without someone preaching?

15 And how will they preach if they are not sent?

As it is written,

"How timely is the arrival [lit. are the feet ] of the ones

proclaiming good [or good news]." (Isa 52:7; Nah 1:15)16 But not all have obeyed the good news, for Isaiah says,

"Lord, who has believed our report? " (Isa 53:1)

17 Therefore faith [comes] from report, and report [comes] through the wordof the Messiah.

18 But, I say, have they not heard?Yes, they have:


14/20

14

14

Their voice went out to all the earth, and their words to theends of the inhabited world . (Psa 19:4)

19 But, I say, Did Israel not understand?First Moses says,

"I will provoke you to jealousy by [those who are] not a nation;by a nation without understanding I will provoke you to anger ." (Deut

32:21)20 And Isaiah says boldly,

"I was found by the ones who are not seeking me; I becamevisible to the ones not inquiring about me ." (Isa 65:1)

21 But about Israel he says,

"All day long I stretched out my hands to people who aredisobedient and stubborn! " (Isa 65:2)

11:1 I say then, hasnt God rejected his people?May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, from the seed of

Abraham, the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not rejected his people whom heforeknew! Or do you not know what the scripture says about Elijah, how hepleads with God about Israel?

3 "Lord, they killed your prophets, they have tore down your altars; and I alone am left and they are seeking my life! " (1Kgs 19:10,14)

4 But what did the divine response say to him?

"I have kept for myself 7,000 men who have not bent the kneeto Baal. " (1Kgs 19:18)

5So then also at the present time there is a remnant according to the choice

grace. 6 And if [its] from grace, [its] no longer from works, otherwise gracewould no longer be grace.

7 What then?Israel did not obtain what it was seeking, but the elect obtained it.

And the rest were hardened, 8 as it is written,

"God gave to them a spirit of numbness/stupor, eyes not to seeand ears not to hear, until this very day ." (Deut 29:4; Isa 29:10)

9 And David says,

"Let their table be a snare and trap,

a stumbling block and a retribution to them;10 let their eyes be darkened so they cant see,and make their backs bend continually ." (Psa 69:22-23)

11 I say then, did they not stumble in order that they mightcompletely fall?

May it never be! But their trespass [is] salvation to Gentiles, toprovoke them [i.e. Israel] to jealousy. 12 Now if their trespass [is] riches for the world and their loss [is] riches for Gentiles, how much more [will] their fullness [bring]?!

13 Now I am speaking to you, Gentiles. Insomuch as I am an apostleto the Gentiles, I am magnify my ministry, 14 in order that somehow I might


15/20

15

15

provoke my people [lit. my flesh ] to jealousy and save some of them. 15 For if their rejection [is] reconciliation of the world, what [will their]acceptance [be] if not life from the dead? 16 For if the first portion [is] holy,then so is [the rest of] the dough, and if the root [is] holy, so too [are] thebranches.

17 But if some of the branches were broken off, though you, being awild olive shoot, were grafted in among them and have become a partaker of the rich sap of the olive trees root, 18 do not boast over the branches. And

if you are boasting, [remember that] you are not supporting the root, but theroot [is supporting] you! 19 Then you will say, "The branches were broken off so that I might be

grafted in!" 20 Well said! They were broken off because of unbelief, but youare standing because of belief. Do not be arrogant, rather be afraid! 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, in no way will he spare you!

22 Therefore observe the kindness and severity of Godon the onehand, severity toward those who have fallen, but on the other hand God'skindness to you, if you continue in kindness; otherwise you also will be cutoff!

23 But thoseif they do not continue in unbeliefwill be grafted in,for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut off from what isby nature a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature, were grafted into acultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be graftedback into their own olive tree?!

25 For I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers (andsisters), so that you may not be wise in your own sight: A hardness in parthas happened to Israel until [the time in] which the fullness of the Gentilesmay come in. 26 And thus all Israel will be saved, as it is written:

"The Rescuer will come out of Zion; he will removeungodliness from Jacob . 27 And this is my covenant with them, (Isa59:20-21)

when I take away their sins. " (Isa 27:9; Jer 31:33-34)

28 According to the Gospel they are enemies on account of you, but

according to choice/election they are dearly loved on account of the fathers.29 For the gifts and the calling of God are not to be taken back.30 For just as you once were disobedient to God, but have now been

shown mercy due to their disobedience, 31 thus also these are nowdisobedient in order that, by the mercy shown to you, they might now beshown mercy as well. 32 For God confined everyone to disobedience so thathe may show mercy to all.

33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!How unfathomable [are] his judgments and unsearchable [are] his ways! 34 For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his advisor? 35 Or who gave first to him, that he needs to be repaid by him? 36 For from himand through him and to him [is] everything. To him be glory to the ages!Amen.

12:1 Therefore I am appealing to you, brothers (and sisters),according to the compassion of God, to present your bodies as a sacrificeliving, holy, and pleasing to God [which is] your reasonable service. 2 Anddo not conform yourselves to this age, but be transformed by renewal of mind in order for you to [be able to] approve what is the will of Godgood,pleasing and perfect.

3 For I am saying according to the grace given to me to all of you notto think more highly of yourself than you ought to think, but to think sensibly,as God has divide a measure of faith [among] each of you. 4 For just as inone body we have many members, and the members do not all have the


16/20

16

16

same function, 5 thus we who are many are one body in the Messiah, andas one we are members of one another.

6 And we are having different gifts according to the grace given tous. If prophecy, [then its] according to the proportion of faith. 7 If service,[then its] in serving; if teaching, [then its] in teaching; 8 if exhorting, [thenits] in exhortation; if giving, [then its] in generosity; if leading, [then its] indiligence; if showing mercy, [then its] in gladness.

9

Love [is to be] genuine,utterly hating evil,being glued to good,10 devoted to one another in brotherly love,competitive in honoring one another,11 diligent, not idle,boiling in the Spirit,being a slave to the Lord,12 rejoicing in hope,enduring in tribulation,being persist in prayer,13 sharing in the needs of the saints,pursuing hospitality to strangers,14 blessing the ones persecuting youbless and dont curse!

15 Rejoice with the ones rejoicing,weep with the ones weeping,16 having the same mindset towards one another,not being haughty,but coming alongside the lowly.

Do not be wise according to yourselves,17 repaying no one evil for evil,being concerned for good before all people.

18 If possible from you, be at peace with all people,19 not avenging yourselves, beloved,but leave a place for [God's] wrath, for it is written,

"Vengeance is mine, I will repay," (Deut 32:35)

says the Lord. 20 But,

if your enemy is hungry, give him some morsels;if he is thirsty, give him something to drink;for in doing this you will heap burning coals on his head .(Prov 25:21-22)

21 Do not be conquered by evil,but conquer evil with good.

13:1 Let every soul be subject to the authorities having authority.For there is no authority except by God, and the existing authorities are

[ones] that have been put in place by God.2

So the one opposing authorityhas resisted the ordinance of God, and the ones having resisted will recieve judgment upon themselves 3 (for rulers are no fear regarding good conductbut regarding bad). Do you wish to not fear authority? Do good and you willhave praise from it, 4 for it is God's servant to you for good. But if you doevil, be afraid, for it does not bear the sword in vain. It is God's servant, andavenger wrath to the evildoer. 5 Therefore it is necessary to be insubjection, not only because of wrath but also because of conscience.

6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are public servants of God, attending to this very thing. 7 Repay every debt: taxes to [whom] taxes[are owed], revenue to [whom] revenue [is owed], fear to [whom] fear [isowed], honor to [whom] honor [is owed].

8 Owe nothing to anyone, except the love of one another, for theone who loving another has fulfilled the law. 9 For,

" You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet, "(Exod 20:13-15, 17; Deut 5:17-19, 21)

(and if [there] is any other commandment) is summed up in this word:

" You shall love your neighbor as yourself ." (Lev 19:18)

10 Love does no evil to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of Law.11 And having understood that this is the appointed time, that it is

now the hour for us to awake from sleep, for salvation is nearer to us nowthan when we [first] believed. 12 The night has advanced and the day isnear. Therefore let us lay aside the works of darkness, and put on theweapons of light. 13 Let us walk about properly as in the daytime, notreveling and drunk, not promiscuous and in debauchery, not in strife and

jealousy; 14 Rather, put on the Lord Jesus the Messiah, and dont makeprovision for the desires of the flesh.

14:1 Now accept the one who is weak in faith, and do not quarrelover opinions. 2 One believes in eating everything, but the weak person iseating only vegetables. 3 The one who eating [everything] must not despisethe one not eating [everything], and the one not eating [everything] must not

judge the one eating [everything], for God accepts him. 4 Who are you topass judgment on another's servant? Before his own Lord he is standing or falling. And he will be stood, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

5 One person judges one day holier than another day [lit. day by day ], and another judges every day the same [lit. judges every day ]. Eachmust be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 The one who observing the dayobserves it to the Lord, and the one eating [everything] eats to the Lordbecause he is giving thanks to God, and the one not eating [everything] isabstaining to the Lord, and he is giving thanks to God.

7 For none of us is living to himself and no one is dying to himself. 8 If we are living, we are living to the Lord; if we are dying, we are dying to the

Lord. Therefore, whether we are living or dying, we are the Lord's.9

For thisreason the Messiah died and lived, so that he would be Lord of both thedead and the living.

10 But you why are you judging your brother (or sister)? And youalso why are you despising your brother (or sister)? For we will all be stoodbefore the judgment seat of God. 11 For it is written,

"As I live, says the Lord, to me every knee will bow, and everytongue will confess to God ." (Isa 45:23)

12 Therefore, each of us will give an account concerning himself to God.13 Therefore no longer are we to judging on one another, but rather

judge this wayto never put an obstacle or a stumbling block before a

brother (or sister).14

I have realized and been persuaded in the Lord Jesusthat nothing is unclean in and of itself; yet, it is unclean to the one who isreckoning it to be unclean. 15 For if your brother (or sister) is distressedbecause of food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not let your food ruinone on behalf of whom the Messiah died. 16 Therefore do not let what isgood be reviled. 17 For the kingdom of God is not about eating and drinking,but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 For serving theMessiah in this way is well-pleasing to God and approved by people.

19 So then, let us pursue the things of peace and the things buildingone another up. 20 Do not on account of food destroy the work of God. Onthe one hand all things are clean, but on the other hand it is evil to theperson who is eating on account of an obstacle. 21 It is good not to eat meat


18/20

18

or drink wine or [do] what your brother is stumbling [over]. 22 The faithyou have, keep to yourself before God. Blessed is the one who is not

judging himself by what he is approving. 23 But the one doubting, if he eats,has been condemned since [he does] not [act] out of faith (and everythingthat is not from faith is sin). 15:1 But we who able are owing [it to them] tobear with the weakness of the ones who are unable, and not to pleaseourselves. 2 Let each of us strive to please his neighbor for good, for building up. 3 For even the Messiah did not strive to please himself, rather,

as it is written,"The insults of the ones insulting you fell upon me ." (Psa 69:9)

4 (For everything written in former times was written for our instruction, sothat through endurance and through the encouragement of the scriptures weare having hope.)

5 Now may the God of endurance and comfort give you the samemindset about one another in accordance with the Messiah Jesus, 6 so thatin one accord with one mouth you might glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

7 For this reason, accept one another, just as the Messiah alsoaccepted you, to the glory of God. 8 For I am saying that the Messiah hasbecome a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God's truth in order tosecure the promises of the fathers, 9 and [in order for] the gentiles to glorifyGod on account of mercy. As it is written,

"Because of this I will confess you among the Gentiles, and Iwill sing praises to your name ." (Psa 18:49)

10 And again it says:

"Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people ." (Deut 32:43)

11 And again,

"Praise the Lord all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him ."

(Psa 117:1)12 And again Isaiah says,

"The root of Jesse will come,and the one who rises to rule the Gentiles,in him Gentiles will hope ." (Isa 11:10)

13 Now may the God of hope fill you with every joy and peace as you believein him, so that you may abound in hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

14 And I am convinced about you, my brothers (and sisters)even Imyself!that you yourselves are also full of goodness, having been filled

with all knowledge, and able also to instruct one another.15

But I havewritten rather boldly to you in part to again remind you, according to thegrace given to me by God 16 to be a servant of the Messiah Jesus to theGentiles, serving the Gospel of God like a priest, so that the offering of theGentiles [might be] acceptable, having been sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

17 Therefore I have a [reason for] boasting in the Messiah Jesus[about] the things [pertaining] to God. 18 For I will not dare to speak of anything that is not what the Messiah has produced through me [in order] to[bring about] the obedience of the Gentiles in word and deed, 19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalemeven as far as Illyricum I have fulfilled the Gospel of the Messiah. 20 Andthus [I am] aspiring to proclaim the Gospel where the Messiah has not been


19/20

19

19

named, so that I might not build on anothers foundation, 21 but as it iswritten:

"Those to whom it was not proclaimed about him will see, andthose who have not heard will understand ." (Isa 52:15)

22 And so I was often hindered from coming to you.23 But now that I no longer have a place in these regions, and for

many years I have had a longing to come to you24

as I proceed to Spain.For I hope, as I am traveling through, to visit with you and to be sent forth byyou [after] I have first been refreshed by you for a while there.

25 But now I am proceeding to Jerusalem to serve the saints. 26 For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. 27 For they were pleased [to do so], andthey are indebted to them. For if they shared in their spiritual gifts, they arealso obligated to minister to them by fleshly gifts. 28 Therefore completingthis and safely delivering to them this fruit, I will depart for Spain by way of you; 29 and I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of theMessiah's blessing.

30 And I am urging you, brothers (and sisters), through our LordJesus the Messiah and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together withme in prayers to God on my behalf. 31 So that I might be rescued fromthose who are disobedient in Judea and that my ministry in Jerusalem mightbe acceptable to the saints, 32 so that according to God's will in coming toyou with joy I might find rest with you. 33 And [may] the God of peace [be]with all of you. Amen.

16:1 Now I am commending to you our sister Phoebe, who is also adeacon of the church in Cenchrea, 2 so that you may receive her in the Lordin a manner worthy of the saints and stand by her with whatever thing shemay need from you, for she also was a patron of many, even me myself.

3 Greet Prisca and Aquilamy co-workers in the Messiah Jesus, 4 who risked their own necks for my life, for whom not only I, but all thechurches of the Gentiles are giving thanks 5 and the church in their house.

Greet my Epenetus, my beloved, who is the firstfruit of the Messiahin Asia Minor.

6Greet Mary, who has toiled greatly for you.7 Greet Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners

who are outstanding among the apostles, and who were also in the Messiahbefore me.

8 Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord.9 Greet Urbanus, our co-worker in the Messiah, and Stachys my

beloved.10 Greet Apelles, who is tested in the Messiah.Greet the ones from [the household of] Aristobulus.11 Greet Herodion, my kinsman.Greet the ones from [the household of] Narcissus who are in the

Lord.12 Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, laborers in the Lord.

Greet the beloved Persis, who has toiled greatly in the Lord.13 Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother who was also [amother to] me.

14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and thebrothers (and sisters) with them.

15 Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas,and all the saints with them.

16 Greet one another with a holy kiss.All the churches of The Messiah greet you.

17 Now I urge you, brothers (and sisters), to watch out for the ones(causing) dissensions and putting obstacles alongside the teaching that you


20/20

20

learned, and to turn away from them! 18 For such ones as these are thenot serving our Lord the Messiah, but their own appetites, and by smoothspeechs and flattery they are enticing the hearts of the naive. 19 Your obedience has been made known everywhere, therefore I rejoice onaccount of you and I want you to be wise to what is good and innocent towhat is evil. 20 The God of peace will crush Satan under your feet withswiftness. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

21

Timothy, my co-worker, greets you; so do Lucius, Jason, andSosipater, my kinsmen.

(22 I, Tertius, who am writing this letter, also greet you in the Lord.)

23 Gaius, my host and [host to] the whole church, greets you.Erastus, the director of the city, greets you, along with our brother

Quartus.

24 [Later MSS contain the phrase: The grace of our Lord Jesus bewith you at this point in the text. The earliest MSS do not.]

25 Now to the one who is able to establish you according to myGospel and the proclamation of Jesus the Messiah, according to therevelation of the mystery having been kept secret from time eternal, 26 butnow being made known, (and is made known through prophetic Scriptureaccording to the command of the eternal God, in order [to bring about] theobedience of faith in all Gentiles) 27 to the only wise God, through Jesus theMessiah, be the glory to the ages! Amen.
