So I boast in Christ Jesus about the things that pertain to God.

to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be glory forever! Amen.

But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is he? (I am speaking in human terms.)

For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth to confirm the promises made to the fathers,

What then? If some did not believe, does their unbelief nullify the faithfulness of God?

And do you think, whoever you are, when you judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself, that you will escape God’s judgment?

For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts and their senseless hearts were darkened.

For what does the scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

Much more then, because we have now been declared righteous by his blood, we will be saved through him from God’s wrath.

Do not avenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to God’s wrath, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.

Or do you have contempt for the wealth of his kindness, forbearance, and patience, and yet do not know that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?

Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

So then, it does not depend on human desire or exertion, but on God who shows mercy.

Just as you were formerly disobedient to God, but have now received mercy due to their disobedience,

God publicly displayed him at his death as the mercy seat accessible through faith. This was to demonstrate his righteousness, because God in his forbearance had passed over the sins previously committed.

and do not present your members to sin as instruments to be used for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead and your members to God as instruments to be used for righteousness.

Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves.

on the day when God will judge the secrets of human hearts, according to my gospel through Christ Jesus.

But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast of your relationship to God
