¹⁸ And Jehovah God saith, `Not good for the man to be alone, I do make to him an helper -- as his counterpart.'

¹⁹ And Jehovah God formeth from the ground every beast of the field, and every fowl of the heavens, and bringeth in unto the man, to see what he doth call it; and whatever the man calleth a living creature, that [is] its name.

²⁰ And the man calleth names to all the cattle, and to fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; and to man hath not been found an helper -- as his counterpart.

²¹ And Jehovah God causeth a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he sleepeth, and He taketh one of his ribs, and closeth up flesh in its stead.

²² And Jehovah God buildeth up the rib which He hath taken out of the man into a woman, and bringeth her in unto the man;

²³ and the man saith, `This [is] the [proper] step! bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!' for this it is called Woman, for from a man hath this been taken;

²⁴ therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and hath cleaved unto his wife, and they have become one flesh.

²⁵ And they are both of them naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.

¹⁸ for revealed is the wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding down the truth in unrighteousness.

¹⁹ Because that which is known of God is manifest among them, for God did manifest [it] to them,

²⁰ for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead -- to their being inexcusable;

²¹ because, having known God they did not glorify [Him] as God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain in their reasonings, and their unintelligent heart was darkened,

²² professing to be wise, they were made fools,

²³ and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of fowls, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles.

²⁴ Wherefore also God did give them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies among themselves;

²⁵ who did change the truth of God into a falsehood, and did honour and serve the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed to the ages. Amen.

²² and the righteousness of God [is] through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, -- for there is no difference,

²³ for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God --

²⁴ being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that [is] in Christ Jesus,

¹² because of this, even as through one man the sin did enter into the world, and through the sin the death; and thus to all men the death did pass through, for that all did sin;

¹³ for till law sin was in the world: and sin is not reckoned when there is not law;

¹⁴ but the death did reign from Adam till Moses, even upon those not having sinned in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a type of him who is coming.

¹⁵ But, not as the offence so also [is] the free gift; for if by the offence of the one the many did die, much more did the grace of God, and the free gift in grace of the one man Jesus Christ, abound to the many;

¹⁶ and not as through one who did sin [is] the free gift, for the judgment indeed [is] of one to condemnation, but the gift [is] of many offences to a declaration of `Righteous,'

¹⁷ for if by the offence of the one the death did reign through the one, much more those, who the abundance of the grace and of the free gift of the righteousness are receiving, in life shall reign through the one -- Jesus Christ.

¹⁸ So, then, as through one offence to all men [it is] to condemnation, so also through one declaration of `Righteous' [it is] to all men to justification of life;

¹⁹ for as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were constituted sinners: so also through the obedience of the one, shall the many be constituted righteous.

²⁰ And law came in, that the offence might abound, and where the sin did abound, the grace did overabound,

²¹ that even as the sin did reign in the death, so also the grace may reign, through righteousness, to life age-during, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

2 My brethren, hold not, in respect of persons, the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ,

² for if there may come into your synagogue a man with gold ring, in gay raiment, and there may come in also a poor man in vile raiment,

³ and ye may look upon him bearing the gay raiment, and may say to him, `Thou -- sit thou here well,' and to the poor man may say, `Thou -- stand thou there, or, Sit thou here under my footstool,' --

⁴ ye did not judge fully in yourselves, and did become ill-reasoning judges.

⁵ Hearken, my brethren beloved, did not God choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the reign that He promised to those loving Him?

⁶ and ye did dishonour the poor one; do not the rich oppress you and themselves draw you to judgment-seats;

⁷ do they not themselves speak evil of the good name that was called upon you?

⁸ If, indeed, royal law ye complete, according to the Writing, `Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself,' -- ye do well;

⁹ and if ye accept persons, sin ye do work, being convicted by the law as transgressors;

¹⁰ for whoever the whole law shall keep, and shall stumble in one [point], he hath become guilty of all;
