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

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

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

to all who are in Rome, loved by 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 throughout the whole world.

in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Christ Jesus.

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

being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;

Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet 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 the reconciliation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him.

In the same way, 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.

Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit to God.

Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So then with the mind, I myself serve God's law, but with the flesh, the sin's law.

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

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

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

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

and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

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

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

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

I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit,

For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers' sake, my relatives according to the flesh,

of whom are the patriarchs, and from whom is the Christ, as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen.

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

But the righteousness which is of faith says 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.)"

so we, who are 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, for its lusts.

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

Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Do not destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.

For he who serves Christ in these things 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."

Now the God of patience and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus,

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

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

Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,

that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.

For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,

in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Christ;

yes, making it my aim to proclaim the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another's foundation.

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

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

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

Greet the church that is in their house. Greet Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the first fruits of Asia to Christ.

Greet Andronicus and Junias, my relatives and my fellow prisoners, who are notable among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

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

Greet Apelles, the approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus.

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

For those who are such do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech, they deceive the hearts of the innocent.

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

25 Now to him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the proclaiming of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret through long ages,

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