Romans 1:15-17

English Standard Version

¹⁵So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.

The Righteous Shall Live by Faith

¹⁶For ^(A)I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is ^(B)the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew ^(C)first and also to ^(D)the Greek. ¹⁷For in it ^(E)the righteousness of God is revealed ^(F)from faith for faith,^[a] ^(G)as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”^[b]

Romans 4:17-5:2

English Standard Version

¹⁷as it is written, ^(A)“I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, ^(B)who gives life to the dead and calls into existence ^(C)the things that do not exist. ¹⁸In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, ^(D)“So shall your offspring be.” ¹⁹He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was ^(E)as good as dead (^(F)since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered ^(G)the barrenness^[a] of Sarah's womb. ²⁰No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, ²¹fully convinced that ^(H)God was able to do what he had promised. ²²That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.” ²³But ^(I)the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone, ²⁴but for ours also. It will be counted to us ^(J)who believe in ^(K)him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, ²⁵^(L)who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised ^(M)for our justification.

Peace with God Through Faith

5 ^(N)Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, ^(O)we^[b] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. ²Through him we have also ^(P)obtained access by faith^[c] into this grace ^(Q)in which we stand, and ^(R)we^[d] rejoice^[e] in hope of the glory of God.
