American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee?
But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth.
glory not over the branches: but if thou gloriest, it is not thou that bearest the root, but the root thee.
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?
Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? {Or, Shall God that justifieth?}It is God that justifieth;
who is he that condemneth? {Or, Shall Christ Jesus that died…us?}It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Who shall separate us from the love {Some ancient authorities read of God.}of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Even as it is written, {Psalms 44:22}For thy sake we are killed all the day long;We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
nor height, nor depth, nor any other {Or, creation}creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
But go ye and learn what this meaneth, {Hosea 6:6.}I desire mercy, and not sacrifice: for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.
But if ye had known what this meaneth, {Hosea 6:6}I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
