Romans 1:1; Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God—

Romans 1:2; the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures

Romans 1:3; regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a descendant of David,

Romans 1:4; and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 1:5; Through him and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.

Romans 1:6; And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.

Romans 1:7; To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 1:8; First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world.

Romans 1:9; God, whom I serve with my whole heart in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you

Romans 1:10; in my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God's will the way may be opened for me to come to you.

Romans 1:11; I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong—

Romans 1:12; that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith.

Romans 1:13; I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

Romans 1:14; I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.

Romans 1:15; That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are at Rome.

Romans 1:16; I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

Romans 1:17; For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

Romans 1:18; The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness,

Romans 1:19; since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

Romans 1:20; For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

Romans 1:21; For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Romans 1:22; Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools

Romans 1:23; and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

Romans 1:24; Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.

Romans 1:25; They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

Romans 1:26; Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.

Romans 1:27; In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

Romans 1:28; Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

Romans 1:29; They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,

Romans 1:30; slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;

Romans 1:31; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.

Romans 1:32; Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

Romans 2:25; For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.

Romans 3:9; What shall we conclude then? Are we any better? Not at all! We have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under sin.

Romans 3:10; As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;

Romans 3:11; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.

Romans 3:12; All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”

Romans 3:13; “Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The poison of vipers is on their lips.”

Romans 3:14; “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”

Romans 3:15; “Their feet are swift to shed blood;

Romans 3:16; ruin and misery mark their ways,

Romans 3:17; and the way of peace they do not know.”

Romans 3:18; “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

Romans 3:19; Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.

Romans 3:20; Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.

Romans 3:21; But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.

Romans 3:22; This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference,

Romans 3:23; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Romans 3:24; and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

Romans 3:25; God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—

Romans 3:26; he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

Romans 3:27; Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle&$63; On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith.

Romans 3:28; For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law.

Romans 3:29; Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,

Romans 3:30; since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.

Romans 4:5; However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.

Romans 5:1; Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we£ have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Romans 5:2; through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

Romans 5:3; Not only so, but we£ also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

Romans 5:4; perseverance, character; and character, hope.

Romans 5:5; And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Romans 5:9; Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Romans 5:10; For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Romans 6:15; What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!

Romans 6:16; Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?

Romans 6:17; But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted.

Romans 6:18; You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

Romans 6:19; I put this in human terms because you are weak in your natural selves. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever–increasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.

Romans 6:20; When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness.

Romans 6:21; What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!

Romans 6:22; But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.

Romans 6:23; For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 7:2; For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.

Romans 7:6; But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.

Romans 7:14; We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.

Romans 7:15; I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.

Romans 7:16; And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.

Romans 7:17; As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.

Romans 7:18; I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.

Romans 7:19; For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.

Romans 7:20; Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

Romans 7:21; So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.

Romans 7:22; For in my inner being I delight in God’s law;

Romans 7:23; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members.

Romans 7:24; What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?

Romans 7:25; Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.

Romans 8:1; Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

Romans 8:2; because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.

Romans 8:3; For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man,

Romans 8:4; in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.

Romans 8:5; Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.

Romans 8:6; The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace;

Romans 8:7; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.

Romans 8:8; Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.

Romans 8:9; You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.

Romans 8:10; But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.

Romans 8:11; And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.

Romans 8:12; Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation—but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it.

Romans 8:13; For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live,

Romans 8:14; because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

Romans 8:15; For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”

Romans 8:16; The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.

Romans 8:17; Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co–heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

Romans 8:18; I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

Romans 8:19; The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.

Romans 8:20; For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope

Romans 8:21; that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

Romans 8:22; We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

Romans 8:23; Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

Romans 8:24; For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has?

Romans 8:25; But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

Romans 8:26; In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

Romans 8:29; For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

Romans 8:32; He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

Romans 10:3; Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.

Romans 10:4; Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

Romans 10:5; Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: “The man who does these things will live by them.”

Romans 10:6; But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down)

Romans 10:7; “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

Romans 10:8; But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:

Romans 10:9; That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:10; For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

Romans 12:1; Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.

Romans 12:2; Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Romans 12:3; For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.

Romans 12:4; Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,

Romans 12:5; so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

Romans 12:6; We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith.

Romans 12:7; If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;

Romans 12:8; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

Romans 12:9; Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

Romans 12:10; Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.

Romans 12:11; Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

Romans 12:12; Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Romans 12:13; Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

Romans 12:14; Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

Romans 12:15; Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.

Romans 12:16; Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.

Romans 12:17; Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody.

Romans 12:18; If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Romans 12:19; Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.

Romans 12:20; On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."

Romans 12:21; Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 13:1; Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

Romans 13:2; Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.

Romans 13:3; For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you.

Romans 13:4; For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.

Romans 13:5; Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience.

Romans 13:6; This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing.

Romans 13:7; Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

Romans 13:12; The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

Romans 13:13; Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.

Romans 13:14; Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

Romans 14:7; For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone.

Romans 14:8; If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

Romans 14:9; For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.

Romans 14:10; You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat.

Romans 14:11; It is written: “‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.’”

Romans 14:12; So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.

Romans 14:19; Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.

Romans 15:4; For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

Romans 15:20; It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.

Romans 15:30; I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.

Romans 15:31; Pray that I may be rescued from the unbelievers in Judea and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there,

Romans 15:32; so that by God's will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed.

Romans 16:5; Greet also the church that meets at their house. Greet my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia.
