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.

But I wish you not to be ignorant, brothers, that I often purposed to come to you, and was hindered hitherto, that I might have some fruit also among you, as among the other gentiles.

so that as far as depends upon me I am ready also to preach the gospel to those at Rome.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believes, the Jew first and also the Greek.

Wherefore God also gave them up with the desires of their hearts to impurity, to disgrace their bodies among themselves,

and in like manner also the males, leaving the natural enjoyment of the female, became the subjects of inordinate desires for each other, males with males committing indecency, and receiving in return the recompense of their error which was fit.

For if the truth of God abounded by my falsehood to his glory, why am I also yet judged as a sinner?

Is God [a God] of the Jews alone? and not also of the gentiles? Yes, also of the gentiles,

Is this blessedness then on the circumcision? or also on the uncircumcision? [Also on the uncircumcision.] For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

And he received the symbol of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which was in uncircumcision, so that he became the father of all that believe in uncircumcision, that righteousness may also be accounted to them,

and a father of circumcision not to those of the circumcision only, but to those also who walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which was in uncircumcision.

Wherefore also it was accounted to him for righteousness.

but also for our sakes, to whom it is about to be accounted if we believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

through whom also we have been introduced into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

And not only [this], but we rejoice also in afflictions, knowing that affliction works out patience,

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;

for as through the disobedience of the one man the many were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of the one shall the many be constituted righteous.

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;

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

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.

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.

and not only it, but we ourselves also who have the first fruit of the Spirit, even ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our bodies.

And in like manner also the Spirit helps our weakness. For we know not what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit makes intercession for us with groanings unutterable;

For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he may be a first-born among many brothers;

and whom he predestinated them he also called; and whom he called them he also justified; and whom he justified them he also glorified.

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

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?

And not only this, but Rebecca also being with child by one, by our father Isaac??11 for the children not yet being born, nor having done any thing good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might continue, not of works but of him that calls,??12 it was said to her that the older shall serve the younger;

whom he also called, us not of the Jews only but also of the gentiles,

as he says also in Hosea, I will call them that were not my people, my people, and her that was not beloved, beloved,

As also Isaiah said before, Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a posterity, we should have been like Sodom, and should have resembled Gomorrah.

I SAY then, has God cast away his people? By no means; for I also am an Israelite, of the race of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

So then also at the present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace;

And if the first fruit is holy, the mass is also; and if the root is holy, the branches also are.

See then the goodness and severity of God; towards those that fell, severity, but towards you, the goodness of God, if you continue in goodness, for otherwise you also will be cut off.

so also they now have disobeyed that they may obtain mercy by your mercy.

Wherefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only on account of punishment, but also on account of conscience.

For on this account also you pay taxes; for [magistrates] are servants of God attending constantly to this same thing.

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

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

Wherefore I was also much hindered from coming to you;

They have been pleased indeed, and their debtors they are; for if the nations have participated in their spiritual things, they ought also to serve them in things pertaining to the flesh.

that you receive her in the Lord worthily of the saints, and assist her in any thing in which she may have need of you; for she has been an assistant of many, and of myself also.
