11 for though the twins were not yet born and had not done anything good or bad, so that God's purpose according to His choice would stand, not because of works but because of Him who calls, 24 even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles. 5 For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on law shall live by that righteousness. 6 But the righteousness based on faith speaks as follows : "DO NOT SAY IN YOUR HEART, 'WHO WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN ?' (that is, to bring Christ down ), 6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.
