First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end you may be established;

That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has showed it unto them.

In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

For if the truth of God has more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

And not rather, (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just.

Now we know that whatsoever things the law says, it says to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that you should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, worked in me all manner of covetousness. For without the law sin was dead.

For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.

Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.

For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwells no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

Now if I do that which I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.

I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

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

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

I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit,

That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.

For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

For the scripture says unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

You will say then unto me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted his will?

Nay but, O man, who are you that replies against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus?

As he says also in Hosea, I will call them my people, who were not my people; and her beloved, who was not beloved.

And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, You are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

But Isaiah is very bold, and says, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.

But to Israel he says, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and contrary people.

Lord, they have killed your prophets, and dug down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

Let their eyes be darkened that they may not see, and bow down their back always.

For I speak to you Gentiles, since I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify my office:

If by any means I may provoke to envy them who are my flesh, and might save some of them.

For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.

For one believes that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eats herbs.

For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things with which one may edify another.

For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached you fell on me.

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

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some way, as reminding you, because of the grace that is given to me of God,

I have therefore that of which I may boast through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.

For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not worked by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,

Whenever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way there by you, if first I am somewhat refreshed with your company.

Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;

That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.

Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:

Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Greet my well beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.

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

Greet Ampliatus my beloved in the Lord.

Greet Urbanus our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

Greet Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that are of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord.

Timothy my fellow worker, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, greet you.

Gaius my host, and of the whole church, greets you. Erastus the treasurer of the city greets you, and Quartus a brother.

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 since the world began,
