G2532–καί–kai

For this reason it is of faith, so that it may be through grace; and so that the word of God may be certain to all the seed; not only to that which is of the law, but to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

καὶ kai “also”

(As it is said in the holy Writings, I have made you a father of a number of nations) before him in whom he had faith, that is, God, who gives life to the dead, and to whom the things which are not are as if they were.

καὶ kai “and”

And not being feeble in faith though his body seemed to him little better than dead (he being about a hundred years old) and Sarah was no longer able to have children:

καὶ kai “And”καὶ kai “and”

And being certain that God was able to keep his word.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”

For which reason it was put to his account as righteousness.

καὶ kai “also”

But for us in addition, to whose account it will be put, if we have faith in him who made Jesus our Lord come back again from the dead,

καὶ kai “also”

Who was put to death for our evil-doing, and came to life again so that we might have righteousness.

καὶ kai “and”

Through whom, in the same way, we have been able by faith to come to this grace in which we now are; and let us have joy in hope of the glory of God.

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “and”

And not only so, but let us have joy in our troubles: in the knowledge that trouble gives us the power of waiting;

καὶ kai “also”

Now it is hard for anyone to give his life even for an upright man, though it might be that for a good man someone would give his life.

καὶ kai “even”

And not only so, but we have joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we are now at peace with God.

καὶ kai “also”

For this reason, as through one man sin came into the world, and death because of sin, and so death came to all men, because all have done evil:

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”

But still death had power from Adam till Moses, even over those who had not done wrong like Adam, who is a picture of him who was to come.

καὶ kai “even”

But the free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men.

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “and”

And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number.

καὶ kai “And”

For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.

καὶ kai “and”

So then, as the effect of one act of wrongdoing was that punishment came on all men, even so the effect of one act of righteousness was righteousness of life for all men.

καὶ kai “also”

Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man.

καὶ kai “also”

That, as sin had power in death, so grace might have power through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

καὶ kai “also”

We have been placed with him among the dead through baptism into death: so that as Christ came again from the dead by the glory of the Father, we, in the same way, might be living in new life.

καὶ kai “also”

For, if we have been made like him in his death, we will, in the same way, be like him in his coming to life again;

καὶ kai “also”

But if we are dead with Christ, we have faith that we will be living with him;

καὶ kai “also”

Even so see yourselves as dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.

καὶ kai “also”

And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.

καὶ kai “and”

I am using words in the way of men, because your flesh is feeble: as you gave your bodies as servants to what is unclean, and to evil to do evil, so now give them as servants to righteousness to do what is holy.

καὶ kai “and”
