Chapter 1


	Paul commends his calling to the Romans (1:1-8)

	His gospel and its righteousness  (1:16-17)
	God is angry with all sin (1:18-20)
	The sins of the Gentiles (1:21-32)




Chapter 2


	Those who sin cannot excuse themselves, or escape the 
		judgment of God (2:1-8)
	Whether they be Jews or Gentiles (2:9-24)
	Circumcision will not profit the Jews if they do not keep the 
		law (2:25-29)




Chapter 3


	Their prior rights (3:1)
	Which they have not lost (3:3)
	There is none righteous (3:9-20)
	No one is justified by the law (3:21-27)
	But all, without exception, by faith alone (3:28-30)
	Yet the law is not abolished (3:31)




Chapter 4


	Abraham's faith was credited to him for righteousness (4:1-9)
	Before he was circumcised (4:10-12)
	By faith alone he and his seed received the promise (4:13-15)
	Abraham is the father of all who believe (4:16-23)
	Our faith shall also be credited to us for righteousness (4:24-25)




Chapter 5


	Being justified by faith, we have peace with God (5:1)
	And joy in our hope (5:2-7)
	That, since we were reconciled by His blood, when we were 
		enemies (5:8-9)
	We shall the more readily be saved after reconciliation  (5:10-11)
	As sin and death came by Adam (5:12-16)
	So much more are righteousness and life brought by Jesus 
		Christ (5:17-21)




Chapter 6


	We must not live in sin (6:1)
	For we are dead to it (6:2)
	As appears by our baptism (6:3-11)
	Let sin reign no more (6:12-17)
	Because we have given ourselves completely to righteous 
		service (6:18-22)
	And because death is the wages of sin (6:23)




Chapter 7


	No law has power over a man after his death (7:1-3)
	But we are dead to the law (7:4-6)
	Law cannot deliver from sin (7:7-10)
	But holy, just, good (7:11-15)
	As Paul acknowledges, and is grieved because he cannot keep 
		it (7:16-25)




Chapter 8


	They that are in Christ, and live according to the Spirit, are free 
		from condemnation (8:1-4)
	What harm comes from the flesh and what good from the Spirit 
		(8:5-15)
	Of being God's children (8:16-18)
	All things long to be free from bondage (8:19-28)
	And obtain the liberty decreed by God in advance (8:29-34)
	Nothing can separate us from His love (8:35-39)

	The potter has power over his clay (9:21-24)
	The calling of the Gentiles foretold (9:25-31)
	The Jews sought righteousness through the law instead of by 
		faith (9:32-33)




Chapter 10


	Paul's prayer is for Israel's salvation (10:1-4)
	The Scripture shows the difference between the righteousness 
		of the law and that of faith (10:5-10)
	And that neither Jew nor Gentile who believes will be destroyed 
		(10:11-17)
	And that the Gentiles shall receive the word and believe (10:18)
	Israel was not ignorant of these things (10:19-21)




Chapter 11


	God has not cast off all Israel, but has saved a remnant (11:1-4)
	Some are chosen according to God's grace (11:5-10)
	The purpose of Israel's rejection (11:11-15)
	There is hope of the Jews' conversion (11:16-17)
	The Gentiles should not become proud (11:18-25)
	For there is a promise of the Jews' salvation (11:26-32)
	God's judgments are unsearchable (11:33-36)




Chapter 12


	We want to please God because of His mercies (12:1-2)
	We should not think too highly of ourselves (12:3-5)
	But should pay attention to the calling for which we are best 
		equipped (12:6-8)
	Love and other virtues (12:9-18)
	Overcome evil with good (12:19-21)




Chapter 13


	Responsibilites toward higher powers (13:1-7)
	Responsibilites toward neighbours (13:8-11)
	Gluttony, drunkenness, and works of darkness are not in keeping 
		with the gospel (13:12-14)




Chapter 14


	The brother weak in the faith (14:1-2)
	Men may not condemn one another for things on which 
		they do not agree (14:3-12)
	But should see that they give no offense by them (14:13-14)
	The apostle proves such conduct unlawful for many reasons (14:15-23)




Chapter 15


	The strong must bear with the weak (15:1)
	We should not seek to please ourselves (15:2)
	For even Christ did not do so (15:3-6)
	But we should receive one another, as Christ received us all (15:7)
	Both the Jews (15:8)
	And the Gentiles (15:9-13)
	Paul's reasons for writing this letter (15:14-24)
	He tells of his visit to Jerusalem (15:25-27)
	Promises to see the Roman Christians (15:28-29)
	And requests their prayers (15:30-33)

	He introduces and commends Phebe (16:1-2)
	Asks the brethren to greet many fellow workers (16:3-16)
	Advises them to avoid those who cause dissension and offenses 
		(16:17-20)
	And, after various salutations, ends with praise and thanks to 
		God (16:21-27)

	God has called but few who are wise, powerful, or of noble birth 
		(1:26-31)




Chapter 2


	Paul's preaching is of Christ crucified (2:1-2)
	Expressed not in philosophical language, but with spiritual

	Things revealed through the Spirit (2:9-13)
	Which the unspiritual man cannot understand (2:14-16)

	The corithians are not ready for the solid food of Paul's 
		teaching (3:1-2)
	As is shown by their jealousy and strife (3:3-4)
	Paul and Apollos, fellow workmen for God, are nothing without 
		His increase (3:5-9)
	Christ is the only true foundation (3:10-15)
	Every man is the temple of God and the dwelling place of His 
		Spirit (3:16)
	And must keep himself undefiled (3:17)
	The worldly wise man must become a fool to become really 
		wise (3:18-23)

		and warns them to be ready for his inspection (4:14-21)

	The incestuous person among them (5:1-5)

		sinners, and separated from pagan influences (5:7-13)

	Christians must not us the law to litigate against each other 
		(6:1-5)
	In pagan courts  (6:6-8)
	The unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God (6:9-14)
	Our bodies are the members of Christ (6:15)
	And they must not be defiled (6:16-18)
	For they are temples of the Holy Spirit (6:19-20)

		accustomed to idols (8:7-12)
	He must abstain from eating meat which has been offered to 
		them, for his weaker brother's sake  (8:13)




Chapter 9


	Paul asserts his rights (9:1-6)
	Including a living from his preaching (9:7-14)
	Yet he has never availed himself of his rights (9:15-18)
	Making himself, rather, the servant of all (9:19-21)
	For the sake of the gospel (9:22-23)
	Our life is like a contest for a prize (9:24-27)




Chapter 10


	All Israelites partook of divine favor in the wilderness (10:1-4)
	Yet most of them were destroyed (10:5)
	Paul warns the corithians of a period of testing like that of the 
		Israelites' wandering (10:6-13)
	And that they must not participate in pagan feasts (10:14-19)

	Do all things to glory of GOD (10:25-33)




Chapter 11


	He reproves them, because in holy assemblies (11:1-3)
	Men pray with their heads covered (11:4-5)
	And women with their heads uncovered (11:6-16)
	The corithians are reproved because of factional grouping 
		while eating the Lord's Supper (11:17-20)

	Nine gifts are enumerated (12:8-11)
	Paul's parable of the body and its various members (12:12-14)
	Each of which has its special function in relation to all other 
		members (12:16-21)
	Arranged by God according to His design, together to form a 
		complete whole (12:22-26)
	So the church, which is the body of Christ, is made up of many, 
		having different gifts (12:27-31)




Chapter 13


	All gifts, however excellent (13:1)
	Are worth nothing without love (13:2-3)
	The many praises given to love (13:4-12)
	And its rank before hope and faith (13:13)




Chapter 14


	Prophecy is commended (14:1)
	And preferred to speaking with tongues (14:2-5)
	Which, if left uninterpreted, can lead only to confusion (14:6-12)
	Understanding is necessary to edification (14:13-21)

	Women are forbidden to speak in church (14:34-40)




Chapter 15


	The gospel of Christ's resurrection (15:1-11)
	Is in vain if there is no resurrection of the dead (15:12-13)
	But Christ has been raised from the dead ( assurance of the 
		believer ) (15:20-34)
