Chapters
- Romans 1 — He commends the faith of the Romans, whom he longs to see. The philosophy of the heathens, being void of faith and humility, betrayed them into shameful sins.
- Romans 2 — The Jews are censured, who make their boast of the law and keep it not. He declares who are the true Jews.
- Romans 3 — The advantages of the Jews. All men are sinners and none can be justified by the works of the law, but only by the grace of Christ.
- Romans 4 — Abraham was not justified by works done, as of himself, but by grace and by faith. And that before he was circumcised. Gentiles, by faith, are his children.
- Romans 5 — The grounds we have for hope in Christ. Sin and death came by Adam, grace and life by Christ.
- Romans 6 — The Christian must die to sin and live to God.
- Romans 7 — We are released by Christ from the law and from the guilt of sin, though the inclination to it still tempts us.
- Romans 8 — There is no condemnation to them that, being justified by Christ, walk not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit. Their strong hope and love of God.
- Romans 9 — The apostle’s concern for the Jews. God’s election is free and not confined to their nation.
- Romans 10 — The end of the law is faith in Christ, which the Jews refusing to submit to, cannot be justified.
- Romans 11 — God has not cast off all Israel. The Gentiles must not be proud but stand in faith and fear.
- Romans 12 — Lessons of Christian virtues.
- Romans 13 — Lessons of obedience to superiors and mutual charity.
- Romans 14 — The strong must bear with the weak. Cautions against judging and giving scandal.
- Romans 15 — He exhorts them to be all of one mind and promises to come and see them.
- Romans 16 — He concludes with salutations, bidding them beware of all that should oppose the doctrine they had learned.
