(For someone who has died has been freed from sin.)<n id="1" />p>

But I have written more boldly to you on some points so as to remind you, because of the grace given to me by God

and having been freed from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.

Much more then, because we have now been declared righteous<n id="1" /> by his blood,<n id="2" /> we will be saved through him from God&#8217;s wrath.<n id="3" />

To all those loved by God in Rome,<n id="1" /> called to be saints:<n id="2" /> Grace and peace to you<n id="3" /> from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people<n id="1" /> who suppress the truth by their<n id="2" /> unrighteousness,<n id="3" />

For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes &#8211; his eternal power and divine nature &#8211; have been clearly seen, because they are understood through what has been made. So people<n id="1" /> are without excuse.

But now, freed<n id="1" /> from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit<n id="2" /> leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life.

For a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if her<n id="1" /> husband dies, she is released from the law of the marriage.<n id="2" />

But now we have been released from the law, because we have died<n id="1" /> to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code.<n id="2" />p>

For the law of the life-giving Spirit<n id="1" /> in Christ Jesus has set you<n id="2" /> free from the law of sin and death.

that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage of decay into the glorious freedom of God&#8217;s children.

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will trouble, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?<n id="1" />

nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.p>

For I could wish<n id="1" /> that I myself were accursed &#8211; cut off from Christ &#8211; for the sake of my people,<n id="2" /> my fellow countrymen,<n id="3" />

And so<n id="1" /> all Israel will be saved, as it is written:p> <p class="otpoetry"><b><i>&#8220;The Deliverer will come out of Zion;i>b>p> <p class="otpoetry"><i><b>he will remove ungodliness from Jacobb>.i>p>

in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem even as far as Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

But now there is nothing more to keep me<n id="1" /> in these regions, and I have for many years desired<n id="2" /> to come to you

when I go to Spain. For I hope to visit you when I pass through and that you will help me<n id="1" /> on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while.p>

Pray<n id="1" /> that I may be rescued from those who are disobedient in Judea and that my ministry in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,
