1     Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,                                                                                                                        2     through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.           Eph 2:18; Eph 3:12                         3     And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulations produces perseverance;                                                                                            4     and perseverance, character; and character hope.          James 1:12                        5     Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which was given to us.            Phil 1:20                        6     For when we were still without strength, in due time christ died for the ungodly.                                        Rom 5:8, Rom 5:10; Rom 4:25; Rom 8:32                            7     For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps a good man someone would even dare to die.                                                                                                  ♦8   But God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.                                                                                                              9     Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.                                                                                                              10   For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.                                                                                                                 Rom 8:32; 2 Cor 5:18                    11    And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.           Gal 4:9                      12    Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread through all men, because all sinned—                                                                                                Gen 2:17; Gen 3:6; Gen 3:19                             13    (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law                                                                                                       1 John 3:4                           14    Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.                                                                Gen 5: 3-32                        15    But the free gift is not like the offense, for if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.                                                                   Is 53:11                           16    And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgement which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification.                                        17    For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.)                                                                                      ♦18  Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.                                                                19   For as one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.                             Phil 2:8                     20   Moreover the law entered that the offence might abound. but where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,                                          1 Tim 1:14                     21   so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.         Rom 6:14

1     What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?                                                                                                                                                          2    For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.                                                                                               James 2:21                 3     For what does the scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”                                       Gen 15:6; Gal 3:6                4     Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.                                                                                                                                             Rom 11:6                  5     But to him who does not work be believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.                    Rom 3:26; Eph 2:8-9                      6     just as David also described the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:

7     “Blessed are those whose                                                                                                                         lawless deeds are forgiven,                                                                                                       And whose sins are covered;                                                                                                    8     Blessed is the man to whom                                                                                                                  the Lord shall not impute                                                                                                                  sin.”                                                                                                              Ps 31:1-2               9         Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? for we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.                                                                                                    Rom 4:3                10    How then was it accounted? while he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised.                                                              11    And he received the sign of uncircumcision, a seal of the righteousness of faith which he had while still circumcised, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also.                                                                                 Gen 17:10-11             12    and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but also walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had while still uncircumcised.                           John 8:37-40; John 8:56-58                    13    For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.                                                                                                                          Gen 17:4-6; Gen 22:17                        14    For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect.                                                                                          Gal 3:18                      15    because the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.                                                                                              Rom 3:20                     16    Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all                                                                                                                              Rom 3:24; Gal 3:22                    17    (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;                                                          18    who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.”                                                                                                                                   Gen 15:5                    19    And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (Since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb                                                                                                                                     Heb 11:11                     20    He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief. but was strengthened in faith, giving Glory to God,                                   Gen 21: 1-8                  21    and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.                                                                                         Gen 17:19; Gen 21:3                   22    And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.”                                23    Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him,            24    but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,                                                   Rom 3:26           25    who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.                                                                                                 Is 53:4-5

1     What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision?            2     Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were committed the oracles of God.                                                                                           Rom 9:4; Deut 4:5-8                        3     For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect?                                                                                                                            4     Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written:                                                                                                                        Ps 116:11; Titus 1:2 

“That You may be justified in                                                                                                                  Your words,                                                                                              Ps 51:4                           And may overcome when You                                                                                                              judge.”                                                                                                                                              5     But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? (I speak as a man.) Rom 1:18           6     Certainly not! For then how will God judge the world?           Gen 18:25               7     For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?                                                                                                            8     And why not say, “Let us do evil that good may come”?—as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their condemnation is just.                                                                                                                              Rom 5:20          9     What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.                                              10   As it is written:

“There is none righteous, no,                                                                                                                  not one;                                                                                                        Ecc 7:20              11   There is none who                                                                                                                                      understands;                                                                                             Ps 14:1-3              12   They have all turned aside;                                                                                                               They have together become                                                                                                                  unprofitable;                                                                                                                                     There is none who does good,                                                                                                               no not one.”                                                                                                                              13   “Their throat is an open tomb;                                                                                                          With their tongues they have                                                                                                               practiced deceit”,                                                                                       Ps 5:9                         “The poison of asps is under                                                                                                                    their lips”,                                                                                              Ps 140:3             14   “Whose mouth is full of cursing                                                                                                           and bitterness.”                                                                                         Ps 10:7           15    “their feet are swift to shed                                                                                                                     blood;                                                                                                                                        16   Destruction and misery are in                                                                                                               Their ways;                                                                                                                              17   And the way of peace they                                                                                                                       have not known.”                                                                                   Is 59: 7-8            18   “There is no fear of God before                                                                                                                their eyes.”                                                                                               Ps 36:1            19   Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God                                                                                                                    Rom 2:2       20   Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for,by the law is the knowledge of sin.                                   Gal 2:16; Gal 3:21-25         21   But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and and the prophets,                    John 5:46; 1 Pet 10-11          22   even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;                                                         Col 3:11            23   for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,                      Gal 3:22        24   being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus                                                                                                      Rom 4:2-5; Rom 5:1         25   whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed.                                      Heb 2:17             26   to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.                              Rom 4:5             27   Where is boasting then? it is excluded. By what law? of works? no, but by the law of faith.                                                                                                                                          28   Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law                                                                                            Rom 3:20; Gal 2:16              29   Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also,                                                                                                                        30   since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith,                                                                                                      31   Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.

1     Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for whatever you judge in another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.                                                      Rom 1:20; Rom 3:19                    2     But we know that the judgement of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.                                                                                                              3     And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgement of God?                                4     Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance.                                                                         Rom 3:25; Rom 9:23; Eph 1:7; Eph 1:18                         5     But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgement of God,                                           Deut 32:34; Prov 1:18                     6     who “will render to each one according to his deeds”            Ps 62:12                    7     eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality;                                                                                                    8     but to those who are self seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath,                                 2 Thess 1:8                       9     tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also the Greek;                                                                                                                            10    but glory, honor and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also the Greek;                                                                          Rom 1:16                      11    For there is no partiality with God.                       Deut 10:17; acts 10:34                    12    For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law                                  13    (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified;                                                                                                                  14    for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves,                              15    who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excuse them)                                                                                                                                                        16    in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.                                                                                      Matt 25:31                             17    Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God,                                                                                      Mic 3:11; John 8:33                              18    and know His will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,                                                                                                                19    and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,                                                                                                                        20   an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and truth in the law.                                                                                                  21     You, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal?                  Matt 23:3                          22    You, who say, “Do not commit adultery,” do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?                                                   Mal 3:8                               23    You who make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law?                                                                     Rom 1:17; Rom 9:4                    24    For “The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, as it is written.                                                                                                                                          25    For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.                                                                                                                             Rom 4:19-12; Gal 5:3                        26    Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirement of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as uncircumcision?                                27    And will not the physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the law, judge you who, even with your written code and circumcision, are a transgressor of the law?                                                                                                      Matt 12:41                              28    For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh;                                                                                                                      29    but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.                                                                                                                       2 Cor 3:6; Gal 3:7

Romans, Known as Paul’s greatest work, is placed first among his 13 epistles        in the New Testament. While the four Gospels present to the words and work       of jesus Christ, Romans explore the significance of His sacrificial death.                Using a question and answer format, Paul records the most systematic                    presentation of of doctrine in the bible. Romans is more than a book of                    theology; it is also a book of practical exhortation. The Good News of Jesus           Christ is more than facts to be believed; it is also a life to be lived—a life of             righteousness befitting the person, “Justified freely by God’s grace through         the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (3:24).                                                                           Although some manuscripts omit “In Rome” in 1:7, 15, the title Pros                     Romaious, “To the Romans,” hs been associated with the epistle almost from       the beginning.                                                                                                                                  1.   1.     Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God                                                                                                                                        2.     which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,               Acts. 26:6; Gal. 3:8                                                                                                                             ♦3.    concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,          Matt 1:6; Matt 1:16; Luke 3:23, Luke 3:31                  ♦4.    and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.                                         Acts 9:20               5.     Through him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name,  Acts 6:7;  Acts 9:15; Eph 3:8                                  6.     among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;    1 Cor 1:12                       7.     To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints:

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.                                                                                                                                    Num 6:25-26                            8.     First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.                  Rom, 16:19; 1 Cor 1:4                          9.     For God is my witness whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,                                                                                                                          1 Thess 3:10;  1Thess 5:17                        10.   making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you.                                                                                                                        11.   For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established—                                                                                                            12.   that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.                                                                                                                                    13.   Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but was hindered until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, just as among the other Gentils.                                                                           14.   I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise.                                                                                                                          1 Cor 9:22                        15.    So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel in Rome to you who are in Rome also.                                                                    Rom 15:19-20                     16.   For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.                                                                                                                                   1 Cor 1:18                        17.   For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written “The just shall live by faith.”                                Rom 3:21-22; Hab 2:4              18.   For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.                                                                                                    1 Thess 1:10; 1 Thess 2:16; 1 Thess 5:9                19.   because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.                                                                                                        Acts 14:17                20.   For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,                                        Ps 19:1-6                  21.   because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.                                                                                                            Jer 2:5                    22.   Professing to be wise, they became fools,      Jer 10:4; 1 Cor 1:18-25                  23.   and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man— and birds and four footed animals and creeping things.                                                                                                           1 Tim 1:17; 1 Tim 6:15-16                     24.   Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,                 1 Cor 6:18                     25.   who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever, Amen.                                                                                                                                              Is. 44:20; Jer. 10:14                    26.   For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. for even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.                                                    27.   Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.   Lev. 18:22    28.   And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;                                                                                                                                Rom 1: 24; Rom. 1:26               29.   being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness, they are whisperers,                                          1 Cor. 6:9-10                         30.   backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,                                                                                                                  31.   undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;                  32.   who, knowing the righteous judgement of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.                                                         Rom 2:2; Rom. 6:21
