Romans 8:9, “You however, are controlled not by the sinful nature, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Romans 5:8, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 3:23: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:21, “But now a righteousness from God apart from the law, has been made known, to which the Law and Prophets testify.” As it is written: ‘There is no one righteous, not even one there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.’” Romans 3:9-11, “What shall we conclude then?

The Book of Romans was likely written A.D. Romans 16:22 indicates that Paul used a man named Tertius to transcribe his words. Romans 1:1 identifies the author of the Book of Romans as the apostle Paul.
