By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

To all that be in Rome, beloved of 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 you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

Making request, if by any means now at last I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life:

Who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

And know his will, and approve the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

What then? are we better than they? No, in no way: for we have before proved both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin;

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, no, not one.

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.

Even the righteousness of God which is by faith in Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the descendants; not to those only who are of the law, but to those also who are of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet perhaps for a good man some would even dare to die.

But God commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Therefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

So then if, while her husband lives, she is married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband dies, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she is married to another man.

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

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.

For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.

And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

As it is written, For your sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.

Not as though the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel, who are of Israel:

Neither, because they are the descendants of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall your descendants be called.

For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.

For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

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.

Therefore has he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardens.

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

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

For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.

For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report?

But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.

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

You will say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.

Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Be not arrogant, but fear:

And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

For God has concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory forever. Amen.

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 as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

If it be possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all men.

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Will you then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same:

Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

Love works no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

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

But why do you judge your brother? or why do you despise your brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

For food destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eats with offense.

And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to you among the Gentiles, and sing unto your name.

And again, Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; and laud him, all you people.

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.

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.

When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you to Spain.

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

Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

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 Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.

For your obedience is well known unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and innocent concerning evil.

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

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

But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
