Romans 8-10 (Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition)

Romans 8

 ¹There is now therefore no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh.

    ²For the law of the spirit of life, in Christ Jesus, hath delivered me from the law of sin and of death.

    ³For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh; God sending his own Son, in the likeness of sinful flesh and of sin, hath condemned sin in the flesh;

    ⁴That the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.

    ⁵For they that are according to the flesh, mind the things that are of the flesh; but they that are according to the spirit, mind the things that are of the spirit.

    ⁶For the wisdom of the flesh is death; but the wisdom of the spirit is life and peace.

    ⁷Because the wisdom of the flesh is an enemy to God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither can it be.

    ⁸And they who are in the flesh, cannot please God.

    ⁹But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

    ¹⁰And if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead, because of sin; but the spirit liveth, because of justification.

    ¹¹And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwell in you; he that raised up Jesus Christ from the dead, shall quicken also your mortal bodies, because of his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

    ¹²Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

    ¹³For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if by the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live.

    ¹⁴For whosoever are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

    ¹⁵For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry: Abba (Father).

    ¹⁶For the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our spirit, that we are the sons of God.

    ¹⁷And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God, and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.

    ¹⁸For I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come, that shall be revealed in us.

    ¹⁹For the expectation of the creature waiteth for the revelation of the sons of God.

    ²⁰For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope:

    ²¹Because the creature also itself shall be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

    ²²For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now.

    ²³And not only it, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of the sons of God, the redemption of our body.

    ²⁴For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen, is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he hope for?

    ²⁵But if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience.

    ²⁶Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity. For we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit himself asketh for us with unspeakable groanings.

    ²⁷And he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what the Spirit desireth; because he asketh for the saints according to God.

    ²⁸And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.

    ²⁹For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son; that he might be the firstborn amongst many brethren.

    ³⁰And whom he predestinated, them he also called. And whom he called, them he also justified. And whom he justified, them he also glorified.

    ³¹What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who is against us?

    ³²He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how hath he not also, with him, given us all things?

    ³³Who shall accuse against the elect of God? God that justifieth.

    ³⁴Who is he that shall condemn? Christ Jesus that died, yea that is risen also again; who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

    ³⁵Who then shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation? or distress? or famine? or nakedness? or danger? or persecution? or the sword?

    ³⁶(As it is written: For thy sake we are put to death all the day long. We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.)

    ³⁷But in all these things we overcome, because of him that hath loved us.

    ³⁸For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor might,

    ³⁹Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

   

Romans 9

 ¹And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once, of Isaac our father.

    ¹¹For when the children were not yet born, nor had done any good or evil (that the purpose of God, according to election, might stand,)

    ¹²Not of works, but of him that calleth, it was said to her: The elder shall serve the younger.

    ¹³As it is written: Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.

    ¹⁴What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? God forbid.

    ¹⁵For he saith to Moses: I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy; and I will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy.

    ¹⁶So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

    ¹⁷For the scripture saith to Pharao: To this purpose have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.

    ¹⁸Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will; and whom he will, he hardeneth.

    ¹⁹Thou wilt say therefore to me: Why doth he then find fault? for who resisteth his will?

    ²⁰O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it: Why hast thou made me thus?

    ²¹Or hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump, to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

    ²²What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath, fitted for destruction,

    ²³That he might shew the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he hath prepared unto glory?

    ²⁴Even us, whom also he hath called, nor only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles.

    ²⁵As in Osee he saith: I will call that which was not my people, my people; and her that was not beloved, beloved; and her that had not obtained mercy, one that hath obtained mercy.

    ²⁶And it shall be, in the place where it was said unto them, You are not my people; there they shall be called the sons of the living God.

    ²⁷And Isaias crieth out concerning Israel: If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.

    ²⁸For he shall finish his word, and cut it short in justice; because a short word shall the Lord make upon the earth.

    ²⁹And as Isaias foretold: Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been made as Sodom, and we had been like unto Gomorrha.

    ³⁰What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who followed not after justice, have attained to justice, even the justice that is of faith.

    ³¹But Israel, by following after the law of justice, is not come unto the law of justice.

    ³²Why so? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were of works. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone.

    ³³As it is written: Behold I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and a rock of scandal; and whosoever believeth in him shall not be confounded.

   

Romans 10

 ¹Brethren, the will of my heart, indeed, and my prayer to God, is for them unto salvation.

    ²For I bear them witness, that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

    ³For they, not knowing the justice of God, and seeking to establish their own, have not submitted themselves to the justice of God.

    ⁴For the end of the law is Christ, unto justice to every one that believeth.

    ⁵For Moses wrote, that the justice which is of the law, the man that shall do it, shall live by it.

    ⁶But the justice which is of faith, speaketh thus: Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? that is, to bring Christ down;

    ⁷Or who shall descend into the deep? that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.

    ⁸But what saith the scripture? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart. This is the word of faith, which we preach.

    ⁹For if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thy heart that God hath raised him up from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

    ¹⁰For, with the heart, we believe unto justice; but, with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

    ¹¹For the scripture saith: Whosoever believeth in him, shall not be confounded.

    ¹²For there is no distinction of the Jew and the Greek: for the same is Lord over all, rich unto all that call upon him.

    ¹³For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.

    ¹⁴How then shall they call on him, in whom they have not believed? Or how shall they believe him, of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear, without a preacher?

    ¹⁵And how shall they preach unless they be sent, as it is written: How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, of them that bring glad tidings of good things!

    ¹⁶But all do not obey the gospel. For Isaias saith: Lord, who hath believed our report?

    ¹⁷Faith then cometh by hearing; and hearing by the word of Christ.

    ¹⁸But I say: Have they not heard? Yes, verily, their sound hath gone forth into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the whole world.

    ¹⁹But I say: Hath not Israel known? First, Moses saith: I will provoke you to jealousy by that which is not a nation; by a foolish nation I will anger you.

    ²⁰But Isaias is bold, and saith: I was found by them that did not seek me: I appeared openly to them that asked not after me.

    ²¹But to Israel he saith: All the day long have I spread my hands to a people that believeth not, and contradicteth me.
