About his Son who, in the flesh, came from the family of David,

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.

You may be certain, my brothers, that it has frequently been in my mind to come to you (but till now I was kept from it), so that I might have some fruit from you in the same way as I have had it from the other nations.

For in it there is the revelation of the righteousness of God from faith to faith: as it is said in the holy Writings, The man who does righteousness will be living by his faith.

For there is a revelation of the wrath of God from heaven against all the wrongdoing and evil thoughts of men who keep down what is true by wrongdoing;

For from the first making of the world, those things of God which the eye is unable to see, that is, his eternal power and existence, are fully made clear, he having given the knowledge of them through the things which he has made, so that men have no reason for wrongdoing:

To those who go on with good works in the hope of glory and honour and salvation from death, he will give eternal life:

But to those who, from a love of competition, are not guided by what is true, will come the heat of his wrath,

For one man is not different from another before God.

A teacher of the foolish, having in the law the form of knowledge and of what is true;

But he is a Jew who is a secret one, whose circumcision is of the heart, in the spirit and not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

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,

For all have done wrong and are far from the glory of God;

But for us in addition, to whose account it will be put, if we have faith in him who made Jesus our Lord come back again from the dead,

Much more, if we now have righteousness by his blood, will salvation from the wrath of God come to us through him.

But still death had power from Adam till Moses, even over those who had not done wrong like Adam, who is a picture of him who was to come.

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.

Because he who is dead is free from sin.

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.

And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.

But praise be to God that though you were the servants of sin, you have now given yourselves freely to that form of teaching under which you were placed;

And being made free from sin you have been made the servants of righteousness.

When you were servants of sin you were free from righteousness.

But now, being free from sin, and having been made servants to God, you have your fruit in that which is holy, and the end is eternal life.

For the woman who has a husband is placed by the law under the power of her husband as long as he is living; but if her husband is dead, she is free from the law of the husband.

So if, while the husband is living, she is joined to another man, she will get the name of one who is untrue to her husband: but if the husband is dead, she is free from the law, so that she is not untrue, even if she takes another man.

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.

But now we are free from the law, having been made dead to that which had power over us; so that we are servants in the new way of the spirit, not in the old way of the letter.

But sin, taking its chance through that which was ordered by the law, was working in me every form of desire: because without the law sin is dead.

How unhappy am I! who will make me free 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.

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.

That all living things will be made free from the power of death and will have a part with the free children of God in glory.

Who will say anything against the saints of God? It is God who makes us clear from evil;

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.

Even us, who were marked out by him, not only from the Jews, but from the Gentiles?

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

Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation:

And the Jew is not different from the Greek: for there is the same Lord of all, who is good to all who have hope in his name:

And Isaiah says without fear, Those who were not searching for me made discovery of me; and I was seen by those whose hearts were turned away from me.

For, if by their putting away, the rest of men have been made friends with God, what will their coming back again be, but life from the dead?

And so all Israel will get salvation: as it is said in the holy Writings, There will come out of Zion the One who makes free; by him wrongdoing will be taken away from Jacob:

As far as the good news is in question, they are cut off from God on account of you, but as far as the selection is in question, they are loved on account of the fathers.

See then that the time has come for you to be awake from sleep: for now is your salvation nearer than when you first had faith.

Who are you to make yourself a judge of another man's servant? it is to his master that he is responsible for good or bad. Yes, his place will be safe, because the Lord is able to keep him from falling.

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;

For which reason I was frequently kept from coming to you:

So that I may be kept safe from those in Judaea who have not put themselves under the rule of God, and that the help which I am taking for Jerusalem may be pleasing to the saints;

Now, it is my desire, brothers, that you will take note of those who are causing division and trouble among you, quite against the teaching which was given to you: and keep away from them.
