Paul, a slave of Jesus Christ, called as an apostle, set apart to preach God's good news,

So, as far as I can, I am eager to preach the good news to you at Rome, too.

on the day when God through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the good news I preach, will judge the secrets people have kept.

you who teach others, do you not teach yourself too? You who preach that men should not steal, do you steal yourself?

Now circumcision benefits you only if you practice the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision is no better than uncircumcision.

And shall not the heathen man who is physically uncircumcised, and yet observes the law, condemn you who have the letter of the law and are physically circumcised, and yet break the law?

But what does it say? "God's message is close to you, on your very lips and in your heart"; that is, the message about faith which we preach.

But how can people call upon One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in One about whom they have not heard? And how can people hear without someone to preach to them?

And how can men preach unless they are sent to do so? As the Scripture says, "How beautiful are the feet of men who bring the glad news of His good things!"
