Then you will say, “The branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”

What shall we say then? Are we to remain in sin so that grace may increase?

so they too have now been disobedient in order that, by the mercy shown to you, they too may now ¹  receive mercy.

For God has consigned all people to disobedience so that he may show mercy to them all. ¹ 

For this reason Christ died and returned to life, so that he may be the Lord of both the dead and the living.

so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company.

Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Absolutely not! But sin, so that it would be shown to be sin, produced death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.

For I long to see you, so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift ¹  to strengthen you,

Now the law came in ¹  so that the transgression ²  may increase, but where sin increased, grace multiplied all the more,

so that the righteous requirement of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

And if children, then heirs (namely, heirs of God and also fellow heirs with Christ) ¹  – if indeed we suffer with him so we may also be glorified with him.

And what if he is willing to make known the wealth of his glory on the objects ¹  of mercy that he has prepared beforehand for glory –

so that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And in this way I desire to preach where Christ has not been named, so as not to build on another person’s foundation,

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

We know that ¹  our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, ²  so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

I ask then, they did not stumble into an irrevocable fall, ¹  did they? Absolutely not! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel ²  jealous.

For everything that was written in former times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and through encouragement of the scriptures we may have hope.

Pray ¹  that I may be rescued from those who are disobedient in Judea and that my ministry in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,

I do not want you to be unaware, ¹  brothers and sisters, ²  that I often intended to come to you (and was prevented until now), so that I may have some fruit even among you, just as I already have among the rest of the Gentiles. ³
