From Paul, a slave of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for a gospel of God,

this gospel is concerning his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of David's posterity in respect of his bodily nature,

It is through him, even Jesus Christ our Lord, that I received grace and apostleship to promote obedience to the faith among all the Gentiles, for his name's sake;

among whom you also are called to be Jesus Christ's.

To all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints. May God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, bless you, and give you peace.

First I thank my God, through Jesus Christ, for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout all the world.

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

I mean a righteousness coming from God through faith in Jesus Christ, for all who believe. For there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile,

but they are now being justified by his free grace through the deliverance that is in Christ Jesus.

Since we stand justified as the result of faith, let us continue to enjoy the peace we have with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

For while we were still without strength, Christ died in due time for the ungodly.

But God gives proof of his love to us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

And not only that, but we exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained our reconciliation.

But the free gift is not like the transgression; for if through the transgression of that one man the rest on men died, much more did the grace of God and the gift given in his grace in the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow unto the rest of men.

For if through the transgression of the one, death reigned as king through the one, much more shall those who receive the overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in life through One, through Jesus Christ.

in order that as sin has ruled as king in death, so also grace might rule as king in righteousness which issues in eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord,??urs!

For do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Jesus Christ, have been baptized into his death?

We have been buried together with him, then, through baptism into his death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we should live in a newness of life.

For this we know, that our old self was crucified with Christ, in order that the slave of sin might be destroyed; so that we should no longer be in slavery to sin??7 for he who is dead is set free from sin.

Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;

knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more; death has no more dominion over him.

Even so count yourselves also to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.

FOR THE POOR WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, BUT THE FREE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS, OUR MASTER.

So also, my brother, you were made dead to the Law through the body of Christ; that you should be joined to another, even to Him who was raised from the dead that we might bear fruit for God.

Oh, thank God! it is through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself in my will am in thralldom to the law of God; yet in my animal nature I am in thralldom to the law of sin.

Thus there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus;

for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and of death.

But you are not earthly, but spiritual, if indeed the Spirit of God is really dwelling in you. If any one does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

But if Christ is in you, though your bodily self is dead because of sin, your spirit is full of life because of righteousness.

But if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from dead is dwelling in you, He who raised up Jesus from the dead is dwelling in you, He who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also make your dying bodily self live by his indwelling Spirit in your lives.

and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ; but to share his glory, we must now be sharing his sufferings.

Who is there to condemn them? Will Christ who died? Yes, and who rose from the dead, The Christ who is also at the right hand of God, And is interceding for us?

What shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall anguish, or calamity, or persecution, or famine? Shall nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Nor height, nor depth, Nor any other created thing, Shall be able to separate us from the love of God Which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I am speaking the truth in Christ, it is no lie. My conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit that I have deep sorrow

For I was on the point of praying to be accursed from Christ on behalf of my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh.

theirs are the patriarchs, and of them, as concerning the flesh, is Christ, who is over all, God, blessed forever, Amen.

For to every believer Christ is an end of law as a means of righteousness.

But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way. Say not in thine heart, "Who shall ascend to heaven?"??hat is, to bring Christ down;

Nor, ??ho shall descend into the abyss?"??hat is, to bring Christ up from the dead.

So faith comes from a message heard, and the message comes from the teaching of Christ.

so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and we are severally members of one another.

But clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, And make no provisions for your earthly nature And the gratification of its lusts.

For this purpose Christ died and became alive again, that he might be the Lord both of the dead and of the living.

If your brother is continually pained because of your food, you are not conducting yourself any longer in love. Do not, by what you eat, persist in destroying a man for whom Christ died.

Those who are slaving for Christ devotedly in these ways, are well pleasing to God and highly commended by man.

For even Christ pleased not himself; but as it is written, The reproaches of those who were reproaching thee fell upon me.

Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be in full sympathy with one another, in accordance with the example of Jesus Christ;

so that with one heart and with one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

For I say that Christ has been made a minister of the Circumcision the people of Israel, in vindication of God's truth, so that he may confirm the promises given to our forefathers;

Still I have written unto you the more boldly, in part, by way of reminding you, because of that gift of grace which God bestowed upon me, in making me a priest of Jesus Christ unto the Gentiles.

I have then my boast in Christ Jesus concerning the things of God.

For I will not dare to speak of any thing except that which Christ has done through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,

through the might of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit. So that beginning at Jerusalem and its environs, I have proclaimed without reserve the gospel of Christ, even as far as Illyricum.

My ambition has been, however, to preach the gospel where Christ's name was not already known, so that I might not build upon another man's foundation.

And I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ.

Brothers, I beseech you, by Jesus Christ our Lord, and by the love which the Spirit gives, to help me in my struggle by your prayers to God on my behalf,

Salute Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow laborers in the cause of Jesus Christ,

but by all the churches among the Gentiles. Salute likewise the church that meets in their home. Salute Epaenetus, my dearly beloved, the first man in Roman Asia to believe in Christ.

and Urbanus, my fellow toiler in Christ; and Stachys, my dear, dear friend.

Salute Apellas, tested and tried in Christ, and the household of Aristobulus,

Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ salute you.

Turn away from them. For men of that stamp are not the slaves of Christ, but are slaves to their own appetites. By their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent.

The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all!

Now I commend you to Him who is able to keep you stedfast, according to my gospel, and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, whereby is unveiled the secret truth which was kept secret through immemorial ages,

Unto Him, the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be glory forever. Amen.
