Then when the sailors tried to escape from the ship and were lowering the ship’s boat into the sea, pretending that they were going to put out anchors from the bow,

But they encountered a patch of crosscurrents and ran the ship aground; the bow stuck fast and could not be moved, but the stern was being broken up by the force of the waves.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is God’s power for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

For the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel from faith to faith, just as it is written, “The righteous by faith will live.”

For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, because they are understood through what has been made. So people are without excuse.

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

And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done.

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?

For if by my lie the truth of God enhances his glory, why am I still actually being judged as a sinner?

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.

But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous, his faith is credited as righteousness.

Is this blessedness then for the circumcision or also for the uncircumcision? For we say, “faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.”

Against hope Abraham believed in hope with the result that he became the father of many nations according to the pronouncement, “so will your descendants be.”

He did not waver in unbelief about the promise of God but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.

through whom we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of God’s glory.

But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

But thanks be to God that though you were slaves to sin, you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching you were entrusted to,

But now, freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life.

because the outlook of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor is it able to do so.
