PAUL, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart to the gospel of God,??2 which he promised by his prophets in the Holy Scriptures,??3 concerning his Son born of the posterity of David as to the flesh,

declared to be the Son of God in power as to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the dead,??esus Christ our Lord,??5 through whom we have received grace and an apostleship for the obedience of the faith in all nations in behalf of his name,

among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ,??7 to all who are at Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints. Grace be to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

and they show the work of the law written in their minds, their consciences testifying with them, and their judgments mutually acusing or defending one another;??16 in the day when God shall judge the secret [doings] of men according to my gospel through Jesus Christ.

but God's righteousness is through the faith of Jesus Christ, in all and upon all that believe. For there is no difference;

being justified freely by his grace through the redemption in Christ Jesus,

Having been justified therefore by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

For when we were yet weak, in due time Christ died for the wicked;

but God commends his love to us, that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us;

And not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we received the present reconciliation.

but not as the fall so also is the gift; for if by the fall of one the many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by grace which is of the one man Jesus Christ, abounded to the many;

for if by one fall death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of the grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ;??18 therefore, as through the fall of one [judgment came] on all men to condemnation, so also through the righteous ordinance of one [the gift comes] on all men to justification of life;

that as sin reigned in death, so the grace shall reign through righteousness in life eternal through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Do you not know that as many of us as were baptized in Christ were baptized in his death?

We have been buried therefore with him through baptism in death, that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life.

And if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;

knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dies no more; death has no longer a lordship over him.

So also account yourselves dead indeed to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life by Christ Jesus our Lord.

So, my brothers, you have also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you should be married to another, to him that was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.

Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord; therefore I myself with the mind serve the law of God, and with the flesh the law of sin.

THERE is no condemnation therefore to those in Christ Jesus;

for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me 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 dwells in you. And if any man has not the spirit of Christ he is not his.

But if Christ is in you, the body is dead on account of sin, but the spirit is life on account of righteousness.

And if the Spirit of him that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised Christ from the dead shall make alive your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwells in you.

And if children, [we are] also heirs, heirs indeed of God and co-heirs with Christ, if we suffer with him that we may also be glorified with him.

who is he that condemns? Is it Christ who died, and still more, who has also been raised, and who is on the right hand of God, and who makes intercession for us?

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

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

I SPEAK the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness with the Holy Spirit,

for I have wished that I was myself accursed from Christ for my brothers, my kindred according to the flesh,

whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ, according to the flesh. He who is over all is God blessed forever, amen.

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believes.

But the righteousness by faith speaks thus; Say not in your mind, who shall ascend into heaven???hat is, to bring Christ down,??7 or who shall descend into the abyss???hat is, to bring Christ up from the dead.

so we, the many, are one body in Christ, and each one members one of another;

but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for desires of the flesh.

For this end Christ died and lived again, that he might exercise lordship over the dead and living.

For if your brother is grieved by your food, you no longer walk in love. Destroy not with your food him for whom Christ died.

for he that in this serves Christ is well pleasing to God and approved by men.

for Christ also pleased not himself, but, as it is written, The reproaches of those that reproached thee fell on me.

And the God of patience and consolation grant you to have the same mind one to another, according to Christ Jesus,

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

Wherefore receive one another, as Christ also received you to the glory of God.

For I say that Christ was made a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises of the fathers,

that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the nations, administering as a priest the gospel of God, that the offering of the nations may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

I have therefore cause of boasting in Christ Jesus in respect to things relating to God;

for I dare not to speak of what Christ has not performed by me for the obedience of the nations, by word and work,

by the power of miracles and prodigies, by the power of the Spirit, so that from Jerusalem and around as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

And I have been anxious so to preach where Christ was not named, that I might not build on another's foundation;

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

But I exhort you by the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in prayers to God for me,

Salute Prisca [Priscilla] and Aquila my co-laborers in Christ Jesus,

and [salute] the assembly at their house. Salute Epenetus my beloved, who is the first fruit of Asia to Christ.

Salute Andronicus and Junius, my relatives and my fellow-captives, who are distinguished among the apostles, and who were before me in Christ.

Salute Urbanus our co-laborer in Christ, and Stachus my beloved.

Salute Apelles, the approved in Christ. Salute those of the [family] of Aristobulus.

Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ salute you.

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

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all; amen.

And to him that is able to confirm you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery not revealed in ancient times,

to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to him be the glory forever; amen.
