G2532–καί–kai

All depends on faith, and for this reason--that acceptance with God might be an act of pure grace,

καὶ kai “also”

so that the promise should be made sure to all Abraham's true descendants; not merely to those who are righteous through the Law, but to those who are righteous through a faith like that of Abraham. Thus in the sight of God in whom he believed, who gives

And, without growing weak in faith, he could contemplate his own vital powers which had now decayed--for he was nearly 100 years old--and Sarah's barrenness.

καὶ kai “And”καὶ kai “and”

and being absolutely certain that whatever promise He is bound by He is able also to make good.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”

For this reason also his faith was placed to his credit as righteousness.

καὶ kai “also”

it was for our sakes too. Faith, before long, will be placed to the credit of us also who are believers in Him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead,

καὶ kai “also”

who was surrendered to death because of the offences we had committed, and was raised to life because of the acquittal secured for us.

καὶ kai “and”

through whom also, as the result of faith, we have obtained an introduction into that state of favour with God in which we stand, and we exult in hope of some day sharing in God's glory.

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “and”

And not only so: we also exult in our sufferings, knowing as we do, that suffering produces fortitude;

καὶ kai “also”

Why, it is scarcely conceivable that any one would die for a simply just man, although for a good and lovable man perhaps some one, here and there, will have the courage even to lay down his life.

καὶ kai “even”

And not only so, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained that reconciliation.

καὶ kai “also”

What follows? This comparison. Through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and so death passed to all mankind in turn, in that all sinned.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”

Yet Death reigned as king from Adam to Moses even over those who had not sinned, as Adam did, against Law. And in Adam we have a type of Him whose coming was still future.

καὶ kai “even”

But God's free gift immeasurably outweighs the transgression. For if through the transgression of the one individual the mass of mankind have died, infinitely greater is the generosity with which God's grace, and the gift given in His grace which found

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “and”

And it is not with the gift as it was with the results of one individual's sin; for the judgement which one individual provoked resulted in condemnation, whereas the free gift after a multitude of transgressions results in acquittal.

καὶ kai “And”

For if, through the transgression of the one individual, Death made use of the one individual to seize the sovereignty, all the more shall those who receive God's overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in Life through the one individu

καὶ kai “and”

It follows then that just as the result of a single transgression is a condemnation which extends to the whole race, so also the result of a single decree of righteousness is a life-giving acquittal which extends to the whole race.

καὶ kai “also”

For as through the disobedience of the one individual the mass of mankind were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the mass of mankind will be constituted righteous.

καὶ kai “also”

in order that as sin has exercised kingly sway in inflicting death, so grace, too, may exercise kingly sway in bestowing a righteousness which results in the Life of the Ages through Jesus Christ our Lord.

καὶ kai “also”

Well, then, we by our baptism were buried with Him in death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from among the dead by the Father's glorious power, we also should live an entirely new life.

καὶ kai “also”

For since we have become one with Him by sharing in His death, we shall also be one with Him by sharing in His resurrection.

καὶ kai “also”

But, seeing that we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him;

In the same way you also must regard yourselves as dead in relation to sin, but as alive in relation to God, because you are in Christ Jesus.

καὶ kai “also”

and no longer lend your faculties as unrighteous weapons for Sin to use. On the contrary surrender your very selves to God as living men who have risen from the dead, and surrender your several faculties to God, to be used as weapons to maintain the ri

καὶ kai “and”

your human infirmity leads me to employ these familiar figures--and just as you once surrendered your faculties into bondage to Impurity and ever-increasing disregard of Law, so you must now surrender them into bondage to Righteousness ever advancing tow
