through whom we did receive grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name;

to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints; Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ!

first, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world;

for revealed is the wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding down the truth in unrighteousness.

having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers,

What, then? are we better? not at all! for we did before charge both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin,

All did go out of the way, together they became unprofitable, there is none doing good, there is not even one.

And we have known that as many things as the law saith, to those in the law it doth speak, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may come under judgment to God;

and the righteousness of God [is] through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, -- for there is no difference,

for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God --

and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them,

Because of this [it is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which [is] of the law only, but also to that which [is] of the faith of Abraham,

because of this, even as through one man the sin did enter into the world, and through the sin the death; and thus to all men the death did pass through, for that all did sin;

So, then, as through one offence to all men [it is] to condemnation, so also through one declaration of `Righteous' [it is] to all men to justification of life;

`Thou shalt not covet;' and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness -- for apart from law sin is dead.

for we have known that all the creation doth groan together, and doth travail in pain together till now.

And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;

He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us?

(according as it hath been written -- `For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long, we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter,')

but in all these we more than conquer, through him who loved us;

whose [are] the fathers, and of whom [is] the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. Amen.

And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who [are] of Israel are these Israel;

nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children, but -- `in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;'

for the Writing saith to Pharaoh -- `For this very thing I did raise thee up, that I might shew in thee My power, and that My name might be declared in all the land;'
