but declaring first to those at Damascus and then at Jerusalem, and in all the region of Judea, and to the Gentiles, to repent and return to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

Having therefore experienced the help from God, I stand to this day solemnly declaring both to small and great, saying nothing apart from what both the prophets and Moses said was going to happen,

And Paul said, I ever pray to God, both by little and by much, not only thee, but also all who hear me this day, to become such kind as I also am, apart from these bonds.

For there stood by me this night an agent of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,

saying, Fear not, Paul. Thou must stand before Caesar, and lo, God has granted thee all those sailing with thee.

Therefore men, cheer up, for I believe God, that it will be so in that way it has been told to me.

Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the skiff, and let it fall off.

And having said these things, and having taken bread, he expressed thanks to God in the presence of all. And having broke in pieces, he began to eat.

But they expected he was going to swell up, or suddenly fall down dead, but when they were long expecting, and seeing nothing amiss happening to him, thinking differently, they declared him to be a god.

And from there the brothers, who heard these things about us, came for a meeting with us as far as Appius Forum and The Three Taverns, whom, when Paul saw, having expressed thanks to God, he took courage.

And having appointed a day for him, more came to him into his lodging, to whom he expounded, solemnly testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them of the things about Jesus, both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from m

Be it known to you therefore, that the salvation of God was sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear.

preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.

Paul, a bondman of Jesus Christ, a called apostle separated for the good-news of God

He who was designated Son of God in power, according to a spirit of holiness, from a resurrection of the dead--Jesus Christ our Lord--

To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, to the called, to the sanctified: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Truly, I first express thanks to my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world.

For God is my witness whom I serve in my spirit in the good-news of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,

pleading, if somehow now at last I will have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come to you.

So the willingness is in me to preach the good-news also to you in Rome.

For I am not ashamed of the good-news of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation to every man who believes, both to the Jew first, and to the Greek.

For the righteousness of God is revealed in it from faith for faith, just as it is written, And the righteous man will live from faith.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all irreverence and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

because what is knowable of God is apparent in them, for God made it known to them.

Because, although knowing God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were they thankful, but became vain in their reasonings and their heart was darkened without understanding.

and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image like corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed things, and creeping things.

And for this reason God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, to degrade their bodies among themselves,

who changed the truth of God into the lie, and worshiped and served the creation against him who created it, who is blessed into the ages. Truly.

Because of this God gave them up to shameful passions, for even their females changed the natural use into what is against nature.

And just as they did not approve having God in knowledge, God gave them over to an unfit mind, to do things that are not fit;

being gossips, slanderous, God-hating, aggressors, arrogant boasters, contrivers of evil things, disobedient to parents;

Who, knowing the righteousness of God, that those who commit such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but also favor those who do.

And we know that the judgment of God is in accordance with truth against those who commit such things.

And think thou this, O man who judge those who do such things and do the same, that thou will escape the judgment of God?

Or do thou despise the wealth of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God guides thee to repentance?

But according to thy hardness, and thy impenitent heart, thou store up wrath to thyself in the day of wrath, and revelation, and righteous judgment of God,

to those who indeed seek by perseverance of good work, glory and esteem and immortality--eternal life--

but glory and esteem and peace to every man who works good, both to the Jew first, and to the Greek.

For there is no partiality with God.

For the hearers of the law are not righteous with God, but the doers of the law will be made righteous.

in a day when God judges the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my good-news.

Behold, thou are called a Jew, and rely upon the law, and boast in God,

Thou who boast in law, dishonor God by thy transgression of the law.

For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, just as it is written.

but he is a Jew in what is hidden, and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit not a document, whose praise is not from men but from God.

Much every way. First, because they were indeed entrusted with the oracles of God.

For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the assurance of God ineffective?

May it not happen! But let it come to pass God is true, but every man a liar, as it is written, That thou may ever be justified in thy words, and may prevail when thou are criticized.

But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous inflicting wrath? (I speak according to a man.)

May it not happen! Otherwise how will God judge the world?

For if by my lie, the truth of God abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as sinful,

and not (as we are slandered, and as some affirm us to say) that we may do evil so that good things may come (whose condemnation is just)?

There is no man who understands. There is no man who seeks God.

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Now we know that as many things as the law says, it says to those in the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become accountable to God.

But now a righteousness of God has been manifested independent of law, being witnessed by the law and the prophets.

And the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ is for all and upon all those who believe, for there is no distinction.

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

whom God set forth an expiatory sacrifice through faith in his blood, for proof of his justice, because of the passing over of the sins that have formerly occurred

(in the forbearance of God), for proof of his justice at the present time, for him to be righteous, and who makes the man from Jesus' faith righteous.

Or is God of Jews only and not also of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles also,

since God is one, who will make the man of circumcision righteous from faith, and the man of uncircumcision through faith.

For if Abraham was made righteous from works, he has a boast, but not before God.

For what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.

Just as David also tells the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness independent of works,

(as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations), before him whom he believed, of God who makes the dead alive, and who calls things not existing, as existing.

And he did not waver in unbelief at the promise of God, but became strong in faith, giving glory to God,

Therefore having been made righteous from faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

through whom also we have access by faith for this grace in which we stand, and we take pride in hope of the glory of God.

And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that was given to us.

For scarcely for a righteous man will some man die, indeed perhaps for the good man some man would even dare to die.

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

For if, while being enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more having been reconciled we will be saved by his life.

And not only so, but also taking pride in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

But in this way also, the gift is not as the transgression. For if by the trespass of the one man the many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift in grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many.

For that he died, he died to sin once, but that he lives, he lives to God.

So also ye, reckon yourselves to be indeed dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And do not present your body-parts as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God, as living out of the dead, and your body-parts as instruments of righteousness to God,

But thanks to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but ye obeyed from the heart a model of doctrine for which ye were delivered.

But now having been made free from sin, and having become servile to God, ye have your fruit for sanctification, and the end, eternal life.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Therefore, my brothers, ye also became dead to the law through the body of Christ in order for ye to become to another, to him who was raised from the dead, so that we would bear fruit to God.

So the law is indeed holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

Has therefore what is good become death to me? May it not happen! Instead, it is sin, so that it might be revealed, sin working death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment sin might become sinful to extreme.

But if I do this that I do not want, I agree with the law that it is good.

For I know that good does not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, for to will is present in me, but to do the good, I find not.

For I do not do good that I want, instead, wrong that I do not want, this I do.

Consequently I find the law in my wanting to do good, that evil is present in me.

For I delight in the law of God according to the inner man,

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then, I of myself in the mind indeed serve a law of God, but in the flesh a law of sin.

For the impotence of the law, in that it was weak because of the flesh, God, having sent his own Son in a form of flesh of sin, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,

Because the mentality of the flesh is enmity against God, for it is not submissive to the law of God, for neither is it able.

And those who are in flesh cannot please God.

But ye are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, this man is not of him.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

The Spirit itself testifies with our spirit, that we are children of God.

And if children, also heirs, heirs indeed of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer jointly, so that we may also be glorified jointly.

For the eager expectation of the creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God.

Because the creation itself will also be freed from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.

And he who searches the hearts knows what is the mentality of the Spirit, because he appeals to God for the sanctified.
