What then? Do we surpass them? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?

Let it not be! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law, that I might gain those who are under the Law;

to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under the Law toward Christ), that I might gain those who are without law;

Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilements of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also are found to be sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Let it not be.

For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I confirm myself as a transgressor.

For by grace you are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were set forth to this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny the only Lord God, even our Lord Jesus Christ.
