Among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ:

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

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and deity; so that they are without excuse:

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not proper;

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they who commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whosoever you are that judge: for in what you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you that judge do the same things.

But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them who commit such things.

But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

Behold, you are called a Jew, and rest in the law, and make your boast of God,

And know his will, and approve the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

And are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light of them who are in darkness,

For circumcision verily profits, if you keep the law: but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision is made uncircumcision.

God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That you might be justified in your sayings, and might overcome when you are judged.

And not rather, (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 way: for we have before proved both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin;

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, no, not one.

Their feet are swift to shed blood:

Destruction and misery are in their ways:

Now we know that whatsoever things the law says, it says to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

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

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

Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the descendants; not to those only who are of the law, but to those also who are of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

(As it is written, I have made you a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead, and calls those things which are not as though they were.

So also is the free gift not like the offense. For if through the offense of one many are dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, has abounded unto many.

God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer in it?

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

Now if we are dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

Neither yield your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

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

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

Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

What fruit had you then in those things of which you are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

But now we are delivered from the law, being dead to that in which we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

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

So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

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

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

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

The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the 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 in us.

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man sees, why does he yet hope for?

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

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

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Who are Israelites; to whom pertains 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 as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.

Not as though the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel, who are of Israel:

Neither, because they are the descendants of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall your descendants be called.

That is, They who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the descendants.

Nay but, O man, who are you that replies against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus?

And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, You are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.

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

But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.

If by any means I may provoke to envy them who are my flesh, and might save some of them.

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

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

As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.

For the gifts and calling of God are unchangeable.

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

For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory forever. Amen.

So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Will you then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same:

For, for this cause pay you tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

Who are you that judge another man's servant? to his own master he stands or falls. Yea, he shall be held up: for God is able to make him stand.

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

For food destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eats with offense.

We then that are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

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

For it has pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints who are at Jerusalem.

It has pleased them greatly; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in material things.

Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen, and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

Greet Apelles approved in Christ. Greet them who are of Aristobulus' household.

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

Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brethren who are with them.

Greet Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.

For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the innocent.
