Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called an apostle, having been separated unto the gospel of God,

having been ordained the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, from the resurrection of the dead, of Jesus Christ our Lord:

to all the beloved of God who are in Rome, saints having been called. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

In the first place, indeed, I praise my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how I unceasingly make mention of you always in my prayer;

praying, if by any means I shall be prospered in the will of God to come to you.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

For the righteousness of God is revealed in him from faith to faith: as has been written, But the just shall live by faith.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God has revealed it to them:

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

and changed the glory of the invisible God into the similitude of the likeness of corruptible man, and of birds, and of quadrupeds, and of creeping things.

Therefore God gave them up, in the lusts of their hearts, to impurity, to dishonor their bodies among themselves:

who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for evermore: amen.

On account of this God gave them up to the lusts of dishonor: for indeed their women changed the natural use to that which is against nature:

And as they did not approve to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are inappropriate;

whisperers, calumniators, haters of God, insulters, proud, arrogant, practitioners of evils, disobedient to parents,

who, knowing the rightfulness of God, that those who do such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but they even delight in those who are doing them.

For we know that the judgment of God according to truth is against those doing such things.

But do you consider this, O man, judging those doing such things, and doing the same, that you shall escape the judgment of God?

Do you look with contempt upon the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God is leading you to repentance?

But according to thy hardness and thy impenitent heart, thou art treasuring up to thyself wrath against the day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

to those indeed who with patience of good work are seeking glory and honor and immortality, eternal life:

but glory and honor and peace to every one doing good; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

For there is no respect of persons with God.

for the hearers of the law are not righteous with God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

in the day when God will judge the secrets of men through my gospel according to Jesus Christ.

But if you are denominated a Jew, and rest in the law, and boast in God,

do you, who boast in the law, through the transgression of the law dishonor God?

For the name of God is blasphemed by you among the Gentiles, as has been written.

But he is a Jew, who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Much every way. For indeed, in the first place, the oracles of God were committed unto them.

For what if some did not believe? whether will their unbelief destroy the faith of God?

it could not be so: but let God be true, and every man a liar; as indeed it has been written, In order that you may be justified in your words, and shall prevail, in your judgment.

But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust administering wrath? I speak according to a man.

It could not be so: then how will God judge the world?

And if the truth of God through my falsehood abounded unto His glory, why am I still judged as a sinner?

are we not indeed thus traduced, and as some say we speak, that, Let us do evil in order that good may come? whose condemnation is just.

as has been written, There is no one good, not one:

there is no one who understands, there is no one who seeks out God;

all have gone away, they have all together become unprofitable; there is no one who is doing good, there is not one.

The fear of God is not before their eyes.

But we know that so many things as the law speaks, it says to those under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may become guilty before God.

And now the righteousness of God without law has been made manifest, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

but the righteousness of God through faith of Jesus Christ is unto all who believe: for there is no difference,

for all sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

whom God sent forth an expiation through faith in his blood, unto the manifestation of His righteousness through the remission of the sins which are passed,

in the forbearance of God; unto the manifestation of his righteousness at the present time, so that he is just, and justifying him who is of the faith of Jesus.

Whether is he the God of the Jews only? is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yea, also of the Gentiles:

truly there is one God, who will justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith.

For if Abraham were justified by works, he has glorification; but not before God.

For what does the scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness.

Indeed David also speaks of the blessedness of the man, to whom God imputes righteousness without works,

as it has been written, That I have constituted thee the father of many nations, before God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls things which are not as really existing:

but he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was filled up with dynamite through faith, having given glory to God;

Therefore having been justified by faith, let us have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

through whom we also have access by faith unto this grace in which we stand, and let us rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

and hope makes not ashamed; because the divine love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Ghost who has been given unto us.

for scarcely will one die for a righteous man; for perhaps some one even dares to die for a good man.

And God commends his love to us, because, we being yet sinners, Christ died for us.

For if being enemies we are reconciled to God through the death of his Son; how much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved through his life:

but not only so, but even rejoicing in God through Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we now received reconciliation.

But not as was the transgression, even so is the free gift: for if by the transgression of one many died, how much more by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, did the grace of God and the gift abound unto many!

For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he lives, he lives unto God.

So you also thus reckon yourselves dead unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ.

neither present your members arms of iniquity unto sin; but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members arms of righteousness unto God.

But thanks be unto God, that whereas ye were servants of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart the type of teaching into which ye were delivered:

But now having been made free from sin, and having become servants unto God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life.

For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord,

So, my brethren, ye are dead to the law through the body of Christ, that ye should be married to another, to him who is risen from the dead, in order that we may bring forth fruit unto God.

So the law is indeed holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.

Then did that which is good become death to me? it could not be so: but sin, that it may appear sin, through the good was working out death to me, in order that sin may be exceedingly sinful through the commandment.

For I know that in me, that is, in my carnal mind, there dwells no good thing. For to will is present with me, but to do that which is beautiful is not:

for the good which I will I do not; but the evil which I do not will, that I do.

for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man;

Thanks be unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord: then therefore with the mind I serve the law of God; but with carnality the law of sin.

For there was an impotency of the law, in which it was weak through depravity, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of the sin of depravity and for sin, condemned sin in depravity:

Therefore the mind of depravity is enmity toward God: for it is not subordinated to the law of God, for it is not able so to be.

But those being in depravity are not able to please God.

But ye are not in depravity, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any one has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.

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

The Spirit Himself witnesses along with our spirit, that we are the children of God.

And if children, indeed heirs; truly heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if we suffer together, in order that we may also be glorified together.

For the earnest expectation of the creature awaits the revelation of the sons of God.

therefore indeed pursuant to hope, the creature itself shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

but he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession towards God in behalf of the saints.

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

Then what shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Who will lay anything to the charge of God's elect?

It is God who justifies: who is he that condemns? It is Christ who died, and rather who is risen, who is on the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding in our behalf.

nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

of whom are the fathers, and of whom is Christ according to the flesh. Who is over all, God blessed forever: amen.

But not as that the word of God has been a failure. For these are not all Israel who are of Israel;

that is the children of the flesh the same are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

for the children not having been born, neither having done anything good or evil, in order that the purpose of God might stand according to election not of works, but of him that calleth,

Then what shall we say? Is there unrighteousness with God? It could not be so.

Then it is not of him that willeth, nor him that runneth, but of God who shows mercy.

O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Whether shall the thing formed say to him that formed it. Why did you make me thus?

But if God, wishing to show forth his indignation and make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of indignation having been perfected unto destruction:

and it shall come to pass, in the place in which it was said to them, You are not my people, there they shall be called the sons of the living God:
