Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, an Apostle by the selection of God, given authority as a preacher of the good news,

But was marked out as Son of God in power by the Holy Spirit through the coming to life again of the dead; Jesus Christ our Lord,

Among whom you in the same way have been marked out to be disciples of Jesus Christ:

To all those who are in Rome, loved by God, marked out as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

First of all, I give praise to my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because news of your faith has gone into all the world.

In the day when God will be a judge of the secrets of men, as it says in the good news of which I am a preacher, through Jesus Christ.

That is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all those who have faith; and one man is not different from another,

And they may have righteousness put to their credit, freely, by his grace, through the salvation which is in Christ Jesus:

For which reason, because we have righteousness through faith, let us be at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

For when we were still without strength, at the right time Christ gave his life for evil-doers.

But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us.

And not only so, but we have joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we are now at peace with God.

But the free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men.

For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.

That, as sin had power in death, so grace might have power through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Or are you without the knowledge that all we who had baptism into Christ Jesus, had baptism into his death?

We have been placed with him among the dead through baptism into death: so that as Christ came again from the dead by the glory of the Father, we, in the same way, might be living in new life.

But if we are dead with Christ, we have faith that we will be living with him;

Having knowledge that because Christ has come back from the dead, he will never again go down to the dead; death has no more power over him.

Even so see yourselves as dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.

For the reward of sin is death; but what God freely gives is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

In the same way, my brothers, you were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, even to him who came again from the dead, so that we might give fruit to God.

I give praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So with my mind I am a servant to the law of God, but with my flesh to the law of sin.

For this cause those who are in Christ Jesus will not be judged as sinners.

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

You are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God is in you. But if any man has not the Spirit of Christ he is not one of his.

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

But if the Spirit of him who made Jesus come again from the dead is in you, he who made Christ Jesus come again from the dead will in the same way, through his Spirit which is in you, give life to your bodies which now are under the power of death.

And if we are children, we have a right to a part in the heritage; a part in the things of God, together with Christ; so that if we have a part in his pain, we will in the same way have a part in his glory.

Who will give a decision against us? It is Christ Jesus who not only was put to death, but came again from the dead, who is now at the right hand of God, taking our part.

Who will come between us and the love of Christ? Will trouble, or pain, or cruel acts, or the need of food or of clothing, or danger, or the sword?

Or things on high, or things under the earth, or anything which is made, will be able to come between us and the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I say what is true in Christ, and not what is false, my mind giving witness with me in the Holy Spirit,

Whose are the fathers, and of whom came Christ in the flesh, who is over all, God, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it.

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who has faith.

But the righteousness which is of faith says these words, Say not in your heart, Who will go up to heaven? (that is, to make Christ come down:)

Or, Who will go down into the deep? (that is, to make Christ come again from the dead:)

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

So we, though we are a number of persons, are one body in Christ, and are dependent on one another;

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not give thought to the flesh to do its desires.

And for this purpose Christ went into death and came back again, that he might be the Lord of the dead and of the living.

And if because of food your brother is troubled, then you are no longer going on in the way of love. Do not let your food be destruction to him for whom Christ went into death.

And he who in these things is Christ's servant, is pleasing to God and has the approval of men.

For Christ did not give pleasure to himself, but, as it is said, The bitter words of those who were angry with you came on me.

Now may the God who gives comfort and strength in waiting make you of the same mind with one another in harmony with Christ Jesus:

So that with one mouth you may give glory to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So then, take one another to your hearts, as Christ took us, to the glory of God.

Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision to give effect to the undertakings given by God to the fathers,

To be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, doing the work of a priest in the good news of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles might be pleasing to God, being made holy by the Holy Spirit.

So I have pride in Christ Jesus in the things which are God's.

And I will keep myself from talking of anything but those things which Christ has done by me to put the Gentiles under his rule in word and in act,

By signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have given all the good news of Christ;

Making it my purpose not to take the good news where Christ was named, so that my work might not be resting on that of others;

And I am certain that when I come, I will be full of the blessing of Christ.

Now I make request to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you will be working together with me in your prayers to God for me;

Give my love to Prisca and Aquila, workers with me in Christ Jesus,

And say a kind word to the church which is in their house. Give my love to my dear Epaenetus, who is the first fruit of Asia to Christ.

Give my love to Andronicus and Junia, my relations, who were in prison with me, who are noted among the Apostles, and who were in Christ before me.

Give my love to Urbanus, a worker in Christ with us, and to my dear Stachys.

Give my love to Apelles, who has the approval of Christ. Say a kind word to those who are of the house of Aristobulus.

Give one another a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ send their love to you.

For such people are not servants of the Lord Christ, but of their stomachs; and by their smooth and well-said words the hearts of those who have no knowledge of evil are tricked.

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

Now to him who is able to make you strong in agreement with the good news which I gave you and the preaching of Jesus Christ, in the light of the revelation of that secret which has been kept through times eternal,

To the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory for ever. So be it.
