Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Romans

The letter presents a systematic theological exposition of human sin, divine righteousness, and justification by faith through Jesus Christ. It argues for the universality of human sinfulness and God's impartial judgment, explaining the relation between the Law and faith. The writer interprets figures from scripture as models of faith and develops the doctrine of reconciliation with God through Christ's death and resurrection. Subsequent sections consider the ethical and communal consequences of the gospel, addressing sanctification, Christian freedom, and daily conduct. The epistle urges unity and mutual acceptance between differing groups within the community. Final passages give practical instructions on worship, spiritual gifts, submission to authorities, and conclude with personal greetings.
