“Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly.” 7And he said to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but l only say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, [3] ‘Do this,

When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 g Then he touched their eyes, saying, h “According to your faith be it done to you.” 30And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, i

Come to q me, all who labor and are r heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and s learn from me, for I am t gentle and lowly in heart, and u you will find rest for your souls. 30For

my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

break, and a smoldering wick he will not quench, until he brings justice to victory; 21 v and in his name the Gentiles will hope.” Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit 22 w Then a demon-oppressed man who was blind and mute was brought to him, and he healed him, so that the man spoke and saw. 23 x And all the people were amazed, and said, x “Can this be the Son of David?” 24But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, y “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons.” 25 z Knowing their thoughts, a he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. 26And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 27And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, b by whom do c your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 28But if it is d by the Spirit of God that I

cast out demons, then e the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29Or f how can someone enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man?

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38This is the great and first commandment. 39And h a second is like it: i You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40

God gave them up to x dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, y men

committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, z God gave them up to a a debased mind to do b what ought not to be done. 29They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Though they know c God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things

deserve to die, they not only do them but e give approval to those who practice them.

Therefore you have f no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For g in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. 2

We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God?

He will render to each one according to his works: 7to those who o by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; 8but for those who are self-seeking [1] and p do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. 9

There will be tribulation and distress q for every human being who does evil, the Jew r first and also the Greek, 10but glory and honor and s peace for everyone who does good, t the Jew first and also the Greek. 11For u God shows no partiality.

law will be judged by the law. 13For w it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.

It will be counted to us w who believe in x him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, 25 y who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised z for our justification.

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, b we [1] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2Through him we have also c obtained access by faith [2] into

d in which we stand, and e we [3] rejoice [4] in hope of the glory of God. 3Not only that, but we f rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering g produces endurance, 4and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5and h hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love i has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

Christ died for the ungodly.

God shows his love for us in that m while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. 19

For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.

Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in

h the Spirit of life i has set you [2] free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3For j God has done what the law, k weakened by the flesh, l could not do. m By sending his own Son n in the likeness of sinful flesh and o for sin, [3] he condemned sin in the flesh, 4in order that p the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, q who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5For r those who live according to the flesh set their minds on s the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on t the things of the Spirit.

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For b we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but c the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 27And d he who searches hearts knows what is e the mind of the Spirit, because [7] the Spirit f intercedes for the saints g according to the will of God.

And we know that for those who love God all things work together h for good, [8] for i those who are called according to his purpose.

If God is for us, who can be [9] against us? 32 q

It is God who justifies. 34 t Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—

more than that, who was raised— u

who is at the right hand of God, v who indeed is interceding for us. [10] 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution...

No, in all these things we are more than y conquerors through z him who loved us. 38For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; r for the same Lord is Lord of all, s bestowing his riches on all who call on him.

For t “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

Let love be genuine. u Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10 v Love one another with brotherly affection.

Outdo one another in showing honor. 11Do not be slothful in zeal, x be fervent in spirit, [7] y serve the Lord. 12 z Rejoice in hope, a be patient in tribulation, b be constant in prayer.

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.

Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 g Live in harmony with one another. h Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.

Repay no one evil for evil, but k give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18If possible, so far as it depends on you, l live peaceably with all. 19Beloved, m never avenge yourselves, but leave it [9] to the wrath of God, for it is written, n “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.

To the contrary, o “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
