And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised, ¹  so that he would become ²  the father of all those who believe but have never been circumcised, ³  that they too could have righteousness credited to them.

Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited due to grace but due to obligation. ¹ 

Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Seeing that I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

In regard to the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but in regard to election they are dearly loved for the sake of the fathers.

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are ¹  the sons of God.

For all who have sinned apart from the law ¹  will also perish apart from the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

Thus I am eager ¹  also to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome. ²

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how we should pray, ¹  but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.

If the first portion ¹  of the dough offered is holy, then the whole batch is holy, and if the root is holy, so too are the branches. ² 

concerning his Son who was a descendant ¹  of David with reference to the flesh, ² 

on the day when God will judge ¹  the secrets of human hearts, ²  according to my gospel ³  through Christ Jesus.

But they are justified ¹  freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

He ¹  did not waver in unbelief about the promise of God but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.

But if our unrighteousness demonstrates ¹  the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is he? ²  (I am speaking in human terms.) ³
