among whom are ye also called to be Jesus Christ's:

To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be'saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are in Rome.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse:

And even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practise such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practise them.

but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness,'shall be wrath and indignation,

for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified:

(for when Gentiles that have not the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are the law unto themselves;

and knowest his will, and approvest the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,

and why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just.

What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin;

They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not, so much as one:

Their feet are swift to shed blood;

Destruction and misery are in their ways;

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it speaketh to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God:

saying , Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, And whose sins are covered.

and the father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he had in uncircumcision.

For if they that are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect:

(as it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, even God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were.

Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace.

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.

Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves as'servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

Or are ye ignorant, brethren (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law hath dominion over a man for so long time as he liveth?

There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.

For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

and they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh:

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward.

And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose.

Even as it is written, 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.

who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God , and the promises;

whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

But it is not as though the word of God hath come to nought. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel:

neither, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

That is, it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed.

And it shall be, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, There shall they be called sons of the living God.

and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!

But I speak to you that are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;

if by any means I may provoke to jealousy them that are my flesh, and may save some of them.

And if the firstfruit is holy, so is the lump: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

For if thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural branches , be grafted into their own olive tree?

As touching the gospel, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers'sake.

For the gifts and the calling of God are not repented of.

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

For of him, and through him, and unto him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever. Amen.

so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and severally members one of another.

Be of the same mind one toward another. Set not your mind on high things, but condescend to things that are lowly. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the powers that be are ordained of God.

For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same:

For this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God's service, attending continually upon this very thing.

For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; or whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

Overthrow not for meat's sake the work of God. All things indeed are clean; howbeit it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

Now we that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

For it hath been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints that are at Jerusalem.

Yea, it hath been their good pleasure; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to minister unto them in carnal things.

that I may be delivered from them that are disobedient in Judaea, and that my ministration which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;

Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also have been in Christ before me.

Salute Apelles the approved in Christ. Salute them that are of the household of Aristobulus.

Salute Herodion my kinsman. Salute them of the household of Narcissus, that are in the Lord.

Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brethren that are with them.

Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints that are with them.

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them that are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned: and turn away from them.

For they that are such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent.
