To all in Rome who are dear to God and have been called to become Christ's People, From Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, who has been called to become an Apostle, and has been set apart to tell God's Good News.

Concerning his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord; who, as to his human nature, was descended from David,

And among these nations are you-you who have been called to belong to Jesus Christ.

May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ about you all, because the report of your faith is spreading throughout the world.

On the day when God passes judgment on men's inmost lives, as the Good News that I tell declares that he will do through Christ Jesus.

The Divine Righteousness which is bestowed, through faith in Jesus Christ, upon all, without distinction, who believe in him.

But, in his loving-kindness, are being freely pronounced righteous through the deliverance found in Christ Jesus.

As a proof, I repeat, at the present time, of his own righteousness, that he might be righteous in our eyes, and might pronounce righteous the man who takes his stand on faith in Jesus.

But also with reference to us. Our faith, too, will be regarded by God in the same light, if we have faith in him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead;

For Jesus 'was given up to death to atone for our offences,' and was raised to life that we might be pronounced righteous.

Therefore, having been pronounced righteous as the result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

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

But there is a contrast between Adam's Offence and God's gracious Gift. For, if by reason of the offence of the one man the whole race died, far more were the loving-kindness of God, and the gift given in the loving-kindness of the one man, Jesus Christ, lavished upon the whole race.

For if, by reason of the offence of the one man, Death reigned through that one man, far more will those, upon whom God's loving- kindness and his gift of righteousness are lavished, find Life, and reign through the one man, Jesus Christ.

In order than, just as Sin had reigned in the realm of Death, so, too, might Loving-kindness reign through righteousness, and result in Immortal Life, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Or can it be that you do not know that all of us, who were baptized into union with Christ Jesus, in our baptism shared his death?

So let it be with you-regard yourselves as dead to sin, but as living for God, through union with Christ Jesus.

The wages of Sin are Death, but the gift of God is Immortal Life, through union with Christ Jesus, our Lord.

Thank God, there is deliverance through Jesus Christ, our Lord! Well then, for myself, with my reason I serve the Law of God, but with my earthly nature the Law of Sin.

There is, therefore, now no condemnation for those who are in union with Christ Jesus;

For through your union with Christ Jesus, the Law of the life- giving Spirit has set you free from the Law of Sin and Death.

And, if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives within you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give Life even to your mortal bodies, through his Spirit living within you.

Who is there to condemn them? He who died for us is Christ Jesus!-or, rather, it was he who was raised from the dead, and who is now at God's right hand and is even pleading on our behalf!

Nor Height, nor Depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God revealed in Christ Jesus, our Lord!

For, if with your lips you acknowledge the truth of the Message that JESUS IS LORD, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.

No! Arm yourselves with the spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ, and spend no thought on your earthly nature, to satisfy its cravings.

Through my union with the Lord Jesus, I know and am persuaded that nothing is 'defiling in itself.' A thing is 'defiling' only to him who holds it to be so.

So that with one heart and one voice you may praise the God and Father of Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Because of the charge with which God has entrusted me, that I should be a minister of Christ Jesus to go to the Gentiles--that I should act as a priest of God's Good News, so that the offering up of the Gentiles may be an acceptable sacrifice, consecrated by the Holy Spirit.

It is, then, through my union with Christ Jesus that I have a proud confidence in my work for God.

I beg you, then, Brothers, by Jesus Christ, our Lord, and by the love inspired by the Spirit, to join me in earnest prayer to God on my behalf.

Give my greeting to Prisca and Aquila, my fellow-workers in the Cause of Christ Jesus,

And God, the giver of peace, will before long crush Satan under your feet. May the blessing of Jesus, our Lord, be with you.

Now to him who is able to strengthen you, as promised in the Good News entrusted to me and in the proclamation of Jesus Christ, in accordance with the revelation of that hidden purpose, which in past ages was kept secret but now has been revealed

To him, I say, the wise and only God, be ascribed, through Jesus Christ, all glory for ever and ever. Amen.
