making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you.

Circumcision of No Avail

For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?

And will not the physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the law, judge you who, even with your written code and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law?

For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect?

But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? (I speak as a man.)

For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.

For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect,

For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)

For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.

So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man.

If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good.

Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

God’s Everlasting Love

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