Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come to you, (though I have been hindred hitherto) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other Gentiles.

Therefore, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also who are at Rome.

For the righteousness of God is revealed therein from faith to faith; as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Because knowing God, they did not glorify him as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their reasonings, and their foolish heart was darkened.

And as they were not careful to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to an undiscerning mind, to do things not expedient, Filled with all injustice, maliciousness, covetousness, wickedness:

For as many as have sinned without the law, shall also perish without the law; and as many as have sinned under the law, shall be judged by the law.

For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

God forbid: let God be true, and every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

I speak as a man. God forbid; for then how should God judge the world?

But if the truth of God hath abounded to his glory through my lie, why am I still judged as a sinner?

And why may we not (as we are slandered, and as some affirm us to say) do evil, that good may come? Whose damnation is just.

As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one.

Whom God hath set forth as a propitiation, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness by the remission of past sins, through the forbearance of God: For a demonstration,

Therefore it is of faith, that it might be of grace, that the promise might be firm to all the seed; not only to that which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, (As it is written,

I have made thee a father of many nations) before God in whom he believed, as quickning the dead, and calling the things that are not, as though they were:

Therefore as by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin, even so death passed upon all men, in that all had sinned.

Yet not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if by the offence of one many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, that of one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

And not as the loss by one that sinned, so is the gift; for the sentence was by one offence to condemnation; but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.

As therefore by one offence the sentence of death came upon all men to condemnation, so also by one righteousness the free gift came upon all men to justification of life.

For as by the disobedience of one man, many were constituted sinners, so by the obedience of one, many shall be constituted righteous.

That as sin had reigned through death, so grace also might reign through righteousness to eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Know ye not, that as many of us have been baptized into Jesus Christ, have been baptized into his death?

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death, that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life.

Neither present your members to sin, as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members to God, as instruments of righteousness.

I speak as a man, because of the weakness of your flesh. As ye have presented your members servants to uncleanness and iniquity, unto iniquity, so now present your members servants of righteousness, unto holiness.

Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law) that the law hath dominion over a man, as long as it liveth?

Therefore if she marry another man while her husband liveth, she will be called an adultress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law, so as to be no adultress, though she marry another man.

For when we were in the flesh, sinful passions, which were by the law, wrought in our members, so as to bring forth fruit unto death.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the Sons of God.

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us, with groanings which cannot be uttered.

(As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long, we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.)

Not as if the word of God had fallen to the ground; for all are not Israel, who are of Israel.

As it is written, I have loved Jacob,

As he saith also in Hosea, I will call them my people, who were not my people, and her beloved, who was not beloved.

Isaiah likewise crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant only shall be saved.

And as Isaiah had said before, Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and had been made like Gomorrah.

Wherefore? Because they sought it, not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law: for they stumbled at that stumbling stone;

As it is written, Behold I lay in Sion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence: and every one that believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

But how shall they preach, unless they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them who bring the good tidings of peace, who bring the glad tidings of good things!

According as it is written, God hath given them a spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this day.

I say then, Have they stumbled so as to fall? God forbid. But by their fall salvation is come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.

For I speak to you Gentiles, as I am the apostle of the Gentiles:

And so all Israel shall be saved, as it is written, The deliverer shall come out of Sion, and shall turn away iniquity from Jacob.

With regard to the gospel, they are enemies for your sake; but as for the election, they are beloved, for the sake of their fathers.

As then ye were once disobedient to God, but have now obtained mercy through their disobedience:

For as in one body we are many members, and all members have not the same office,

If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Let us walk decently, as in the day; not in banqueting and drunken entertainments, not in uncleannesses and wantonness, not in strife and envy.

For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

For Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee, fell upon me.

Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also hath received you, to the glory of God.

And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy, as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.

Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly to you, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace which is given to me of God,

by the power of the Spirit, so that I have fully preached the Gospel of Christ, from Jerusalem round about, as far as Illyricum.

But as it is written, They to whom he was not spoken of shall see; and they that have not heard, shall understand.

for I hope to see you as I pass by, and to be brought forward by you in my way thither, if first I may be somewhat satisfied with your company.

That ye may receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and assist her in whatsoever business she needeth you: for she hath been an helper of many, and of myself also.
