through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations,

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

and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his offspring—not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.

For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.

Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Dead to Sin, Alive to God

What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?

For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

Slaves to Righteousness

What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!

So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.

But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

Gifts of Grace

For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.

Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith;

But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, because of the grace given me by God

The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
