The Epistle to the Romans presents the most sustained theological exposition of the New Testament in the enduring language of the King James Version.
Traditionally attributed to the Apostle Paul, this epistle unfolds a comprehensive argument concerning righteousness, faith, law, and grace. Writing to the Christian community in Rome, Paul declares without hesitation that he is "not ashamed of the gospel," setting forth a vision of salvation grounded not in works of the law but in divine mercy received through faith.
The letter traces the universal condition of humanity, the insufficiency of the Mosaic Law to secure righteousness, and the revelation of a new covenantal order in Christ. It binds doctrinal precision to ethical consequence, calling believers to renewal of mind and disciplined conduct. The epistle's closing chapters move from theological argument to practical exhortation, framing Christian life as an offering shaped by grace.
Presented here as a standalone volume in the measured and resonant prose of the 1611 King James translation, this edition preserves a text that has profoundly influenced Christian theology, Western thought, and centuries of doctrinal reflection.
