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

who was declared Son of God in power according to {the Holy Spirit} by the resurrection from the dead of Jesus Christ our Lord,

among whom you also are [the] called of Jesus Christ.

To all those in Rome who are loved by God, called [to be] saints. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

First, I give thanks to my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed in the whole world.

on the day when God judges the secret things of people, according to my gospel, through Christ Jesus.

that is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For [there] is no distinction,

being justified as a gift by his grace, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus,

Therefore, [because we] have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

For [while] we were still helpless, yet at the proper 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.

And not only [this], but also [we are] boasting in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

{But the gift is not like the trespass}, for if by the trespass of the one, the many died, by much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, multiply to the many.

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

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

Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we may live {a new way of life}.

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

knowing that Christ, [because he] has been raised from the dead, is going to die no more, death no longer being master over him.

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

For the compensation due sin [is] death, but the gift of God [is] eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

So then, my brothers, you also were brought to death with respect to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.

Thanks [be] to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself with my mind am enslaved to the law of God, but with my flesh [I am enslaved] to the law of sin.

Consequently, [there is] now no condemnation for those [who are] in Christ Jesus.

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

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person {does not belong to him}.

But if Christ [is] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin, but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.

And if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also make alive your mortal bodies through his Spirit who lives in you.

and if children, also heirs--heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer together [with him] so that we may also be glorified together [with him].

Who [is] the one who condemns? Christ [is] the one who died, and more than that, who was raised, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? [Will] affliction or distress or persecution or hunger or lack of sufficient clothing or danger or the sword?

nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I am telling the truth in Christ--[I am] not lying; my conscience bears witness to me in the Holy Spirit--

For I could wish myself to be accursed from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my fellow countrymen according to the flesh,

[to] whom [belong] the patriarchs, and from whom [is] the Christ according to human descent, who is God over all, blessed {forever}! Amen.

For Christ [is the] end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

But the righteousness from faith speaks like this: "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).

Consequently, faith [comes] by hearing, and hearing through the word about Christ.

in the same way we who are many are one body in Christ, and {individually} members of one another,

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ and do not make provision for the desires of the flesh.

For Christ died and became alive again for this [reason], in order that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

For if because of food, your brother is grieved, you are no longer living according to love. Do not destroy by your food that person for whom Christ died.

For the one who serves Christ in this [way] [is] well-pleasing to God and approved by people.

For even Christ did not please himself, but just as it is written, "The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me."

Now may the God of patient endurance and of encouragement grant you {to be in agreement} with one another, in accordance with Christ Jesus,

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

Therefore accept one another, just as Christ also has accepted you, to the glory of God.

For I say, Christ has become a servant of the circumcision on behalf of the truth of God, in order to confirm the promises to the fathers,

with the result that I am a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving the gospel of God as a priest, in order that the offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Therefore I have a reason for boasting in Christ Jesus regarding the things concerning God.

For I will not dare to speak about anything except [that] which Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed,

by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit, so that from Jerusalem and [traveling] around as far as Illyricum I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.

And so, having as my ambition to proclaim the gospel where Christ has not been named, in order that I will not build on the foundation belonging to someone else,

and I know that [when I] come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

Now I exhort you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to contend along with me in your prayers on my behalf to God,

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

also [greet] the church in their house. Greet Epenetus my dear [friend], who is {the first convert} of Asia for Christ.

Greet Andronicus and Junia, my compatriots and my fellow prisoners, who are well known to the apostles, who were also in Christ before me.

Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and my dear [friend] Stachys.

Greet Apelles, who [is] approved in Christ. Greet those of the [household] of Aristobulus.

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

For such people do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own stomach, and by smooth speech and flattery they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.

And in a short time the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with all of you. Amen.
