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

οὐ ou “not”

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.

οὐ ou “not”

Nor did he in unbelief stagger at God's promise, but became mighty in faith, giving glory to God,

οὐ ou “not”

Nor was the fact of its being placed to his credit put on record for his sake only;

Οὐκ Ouk “Not”

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

οὐ ou “Not”

and that this hope never disappoints, because God's love for us floods our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

οὐ ou “not”

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

οὐ ou “Not”

For prior to the Law sin was already in the world; only it is not entered in the account against us when no Law exists.

οὐκ ouk “not”

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

οὐχ ouch “[is] not”

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.

οὐχ ouch “[is] not”

For Sin shall not be lord over you, since you are subjects not of Law, but of grace.

οὐ ou “not”οὐ ou “not”

Are we therefore to sin because we are no longer under the authority of Law, but under grace? No, indeed!

οὐκ ouk “not”

Do you not know that if you surrender yourselves as bondservants to obey any one, you become the bondservants of him whom you obey, whether the bondservants of Sin (with death as the result) or of Duty (resulting in righteousness)?

οὐκ ouk “Not”

But seeing that we have died to that which once held us in bondage, the Law has now no hold over us, so that we render a service which, instead of being old and formal, is new and spiritual.

οὐ ou “not”

What follows? Is the Law itself a sinful thing? No, indeed; on the contrary, unless I had been taught by the Law, I should have known nothing of sin as sin. For instance, I should not have known what covetousness is, if the Law had not repeatedly said,

οὐκ ouk “not”οὐκ ouk “not”οὐκ ouk “Not”

For what I do, I do not recognize as my own action. What I desire to do is not what I do, but what I am averse to is what I do.

οὐ ou “not”οὐ ou “not”

But if I do that which I do not desire to do, I admit the excellence of the Law,

οὐ ou “not”

For I know that in me, that is, in my lower self, nothing good has its home; for while the will to do right is present with me, the power to carry it out is not.

οὐκ ouk “nothing”οὐχ ouch “not”

For what I do is not the good thing that I desire to do; but the evil thing that I desire not to do, is what I constantly do.

But if I do that which I desire not to do, it can no longer be said that it is I who do it, but the sin which has its home within me does it.

οὐ ou “not”

Abandonment to earthly things is a state of enmity to God. Such a mind does not submit to God's Law, and indeed cannot do so.

οὐχ ouch “not”

And those whose hearts are absorbed in earthly things cannot please God.

οὐ ou “not”

You, however, are not devoted to earthly, but to spiritual things, if the Spirit of God is really dwelling in you; whereas if any man has not the Spirit of Christ, such a one does not belong to Him.

Therefore, brethren, it is not to our lower natures that we are under obligation that we should live by their rule.

οὐ ou “not”

You have not for the second time acquired the consciousness of being--a consciousness which fills you with terror. But you have acquired a deep inward conviction of having been adopted as sons--a conviction which prompts us to cry aloud, "Abba! our Fathe
