Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God

and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord.

among whom you also are called to belong to Jesus Christ;

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

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world.

on that day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For there is no difference,

and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

When we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.

Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received our reconciliation.

But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if by the one man's trespass many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

For if, by the one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.)

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

Or do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.

For we know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.

So you also, consider yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

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

Likewise, my brethren, you have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit to God.

Thanks be to Godthrough Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I of myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.

But you are not in the flesh, you are in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ he does not belong to him.

But if Christ is in you, although your body is dead because of sin, your spirit is alive because of righteousness.

If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit who dwells in you.

and if children, then heirsheirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, in order that we may also be glorified with him.

Who is he who condemns? It is Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who is also interceding for us.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I am speaking the truth in Christ, I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit,

For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh.

Of them are the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, forever blessed. Amen.

For Christ is the end of the law, that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

But the righteousness based on faith says, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down)

or "Who will descend into the abyss?" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.

If your brother is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. Do not by your eating destroy the one for whom Christ died.

he who serves Christ in this way is acceptable to God and approved by men.

For even Christ did not please himself; but, as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me."

May the God of patience and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, according to Christ Jesus,

that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, welcome one another, just as Christ also welcomed you, to the glory of God.

For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised to show God's truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs,

to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Therefore I have reason to glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God.

For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to win obedience from the Gentiles, by word and deed

by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit, so that from Jerusalem and as far round as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

And so I have made it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on another man's foundation,

And I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

Now I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

greet also the church that meets in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who was the first convert of Asia for Christ.

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

Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to the household of Aristobulus.

Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.

For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the simple.

And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Now to him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret for long ages

to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.
