By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith in all nations for his name, Among whom are ye also, the called of Jesus Christ:

To all that are in Rome,

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

Always requesting in my prayers to come unto you, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey by the will of God.

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

And as they were not careful to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to an undiscerning mind, to do things not expedient, Filled with all injustice, maliciousness, covetousness, wickedness:

Who will render to every one according to his works: To them that by patient continuance in well-doing seek for glory,

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

and gloriest in God, And knowest his will, and discernest the things that differ, being instructed out of the law:

What then? Are we better than they? In no wise: for we have before proved all, both Jews and Gentiles, to be under sin.

They have all turned aside; they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doth good, no not one.

Now we know that whatsoever the law saith, it saith to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be found guilty before God.

Even the righteousness of God, by the faith of Jesus Christ, to all and upon all that believe; for there is no difference:

For all have sinned, and are fallen short of the glory of God,

Is God the God of the Jews only, and not also of the Gentiles? Surely of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one God who will justify the circumcision by faith,

Happy 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 in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all who believe in uncircumcision, that righteousness may be imputed to them also,

Therefore it is of faith, that it might be of grace, that the promise might be firm to all the seed; not only to that which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, (As it is written,

But on ours also, to whom it will be imputed, if we believe on him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead.

Now one will scarce die for a just man: yet perhaps for the good man one would even dare to die.

But God recommendeth 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, even so death passed upon all men, in that all had sinned.

As therefore by one offence the sentence of death came upon all men to condemnation, so also by one righteousness the free gift came upon all men to justification of life.

What shall we say then? We will continue in sin that grace may abound?

For in that he died, he died to sin once for all; but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

For the married woman is bound to her husband while he is alive; but if her husband be dead, she is freed from the law of her husband.

Therefore if she marry another man while her husband liveth, she will be called an adultress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law, so as to be no adultress, though she marry another man.

But sin taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of desire: for without the law sin was dead.

For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good, I find not.

And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead, will also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

For we know that the whole creation groaneth together and travaileth together until now.

And we know, that all things work together for good, to them that love God, to them that are 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 thy sake we are killed all the day long, we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.)

Nay, in all these things we more than conquer, through him who hath loved us.

Whose are the fathers, and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is, over all, God, blessed for ever.

Not as if the word of God had fallen to the ground; for all are not Israel, who are of Israel.

Neither because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children, but in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

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

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

Moreover the scripture saith to Pharoah, For this very thing have I raised thee up, that I may shew my power in thee, and that my name may be declared through all the earth.

For who hath resisted his will? Nay, but who art thou, O man, that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

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

For the Lord is finishing and cutting short his account in righteousness; for the Lord will make a short account upon the earth.

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

But all have not obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?

But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily; their voice is gone into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

But I say, Hath not Israel known? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are not a nation; by a foolish nation I will anger you.

Whereas with regard to Israel he saith, All the day have I stretched forth my hands to an unbelieving and gainsaying people.

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

For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what will the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

Well; they were broken off for unbelief, and thou standest by faith.

And so all Israel shall be saved, as it is written, The deliverer shall come out of Sion, and shall turn away iniquity from Jacob.

For God hath shut up all together in disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.

For of him, and through him, and to him are all things: to him be glory for ever! Amen.

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

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

Mind not high, but condescend to low things. Be not wise in your own conceit. Render to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

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

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

Render therefore to all their due: tribute to whom tribute is due, custom to whom custom, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour.

For one believeth, that he may eat all things; another who is weak, eateth herbs.

But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou despise thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of Christ.

For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure: but it is evil to that man who eateth with offence.

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

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

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

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

For I will not dare to speak of any thing which Christ hath not done by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, Through mighty signs and wonders,

But now having no longer place in these parts, and having had a great desire for many years to come to you, Whenever I go into Spain, I will come to you;

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

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

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

Who for my life, have laid down their own necks; to whom not I alone owe my thanks, but likewise all the churches of the Gentiles.

Salute also the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epenetus, who is the first-fruits of Asia unto Christ.

Salute Philologus and Julias, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints that are with them.

For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I rejoice therefore on your behalf; but I would have you wise with regard to that which is good, and simple with regard to that which is evil.

Caius, my host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus, a brother.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Now to him who is able to stablish you,

made known to all nations for the obedience of faith) To the only wise God, to him be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen!
